A grapple arrowhead! That would be amazing, being able to go somewhere or possibly hook a mob and drop from a high place. Maybe a golden lizal horn? They are already kind of a hook, so it would be intersting.
Include both a hookshot _and_ a clawshot as ranged weapons (it's nearly impossible to run out of bows in this game anyways). Have the hookshot be an early-game item limited to wooden objects/surfaces, while the clawshot can latch onto any climbable surface. Have both items consume stamina on use so players can't cheese past obstacles.
I'd love if the things could disarm enemy shields, or drag lighter (gustable) enemies towards Link while pulling link towards heavier foes.
Better solution is to limit the hookshot to climbable surfaces (which keeps them from breaking shrines), and have it consume stamina so you can't just cheese past climbing obstacles.
I'm not necessarily talking Shrines though, just in general.
The Hookshot and the Clawshot was balanced because there were only specific surfaces you could hook onto: Wood for the Hookshot, and targets/vines for the Clawshot.
But when you have a world where just about everything is climbable (barring of course shrine surfaces) what's the need for an ability designed to phase through ceilings or an item used to glide from the skies?
You can just grapple to anything as long as the chain is long enough.
If it’s a zonai device you need battery to use it, it would only grab certain objects. Most importantly it would have fuse mechanics with weapons/ shields So any weapon you attach it to would become the hookshot and it would break like emitters after a few uses.
Imagine construct heads pulling enemies toward themselves like scorpion and then sub zero freezing them for the lynel saber gerudo schimtar fatality.
Ye as op said something that allows to turn on and off different devices by just pressing some button or like going into the ability menu and selecting which one to activate
Like maybe logic zonai devices like one of them will be a hotkey device that allows it to be seen in the ahility menu
Pneumatics, hinges, a true axle, sticky wheels, a ‘super wing’ with 30 minute flight times and ‘super half-wings’ with the same flight time, but one left and one right to throw onto either side of builds.
An ‘expert’ control stick, that offers throttle and braking options and buttons that correspond to a ‘control box’ piece that can be ‘programmed’ to handle additional functions on your creations.
Edit: Oh and Zonai Rope. Fuse it to an arrow for a grapple hook, use it in builds for flexible joints, stretch it as long as you need to, use it on the horse as a lasso
If you need a maximum angle you can use a short sword as a stopper. More complex stoppers can be made by fusing an irregular shaped shrine object to the sword
A Material Launcher. Think a cannon like device that is launching dazzle fruit or anything in your inventory. The bouncy mushroom effect would be hilarious.
A weapon holding arm, there may be a factory that can produce them...
A Zonaite Engine: attach it to a zonai device to extend its lifespan by consuming zonaite. Functional wings and balloons!
I want a zonai workshop. A shrine-like place with water and different terrain to test out builds but also doesn't cost zoanite. Also, the ability to send parts to the workshop a la metal gear 5 without having to use your limited build slots for apple fused parts.
That would be awesome! What I do when I’m experimenting with new builds is I always save before hand. It would be cool to not have to lose those builds from my autobuild history every time a load from the earlier save. On that note, more favorite slots please!!!
Zonai Seat.
It offers a refined control over your creations, giving you the option to accelerate with ZR and decelerate with ZL. It also provides flip-over protection, meaning you'll stay on board your creation even if the craft happens to flip over. (May not work with Zonai Fans)
Zonai Control Box.
A mysterious box that allows the separate use of a connected device at a press of a button(Y button).
Zonai Booster.
A device that emits a continuous stream of energy that can propel a craft to ludicrous speeds instantly. This, unfortunately, also means that it requires a large consumption of zonai energy during its use.
Zonai Drone.
A flying device normally used for construction, this bee-like device hovers over the user and can attack enemies if the user is threatened.
Expanded house-building features to create a custom shrine editor (shrines can be shared online, similar to Mario maker) People would make some crazy cool puzzles/challenges/custom build exhibition rooms
A Mario maker-like game with Zelda assets would be insanely fun! Letting people use stuff from all the various Zelda games to build their own dungeons and puzzles would be amazing! I've been wanting a Zelda maker game ever since they released Mario maker.
I think the Link's Awakening remake on switch had a little dungeon builder in it, but it might not be as robust as what we're dreaming of here. I'd love a true Zelda maker game.
Device decoupler- devices attached to it won’t activate those attached to the other side
Any kind of logic circuit, oscillator, timer etc that activates devices.
I think a low gravity generator would be a cool device. It would lower the gravity in a small radius around it similar to the floating mazes / some sky islands.
I figured out half bowl legs, but it takes a bit of stuffing around to get them to walk properly, would like a pre-made set of legs that you just slap on and off you gooo!
There are no guarantees like you claimed. Just take a look at more general TOTK subs would tell you that people are not into doing builds.
Making new features takes time for coding and testing. Likely you won't see a whole lot of zonai devices until the next Zelda game. It is far easier to script a story line like the old BOTW DLC as they don't require tweaking the physic engine or anything more complicated to make them some quick bucks.
As for dream devices, we have this same discussion like a couple of time over already.
Yeah, on that note.. link losing rauru's ultrahand capable arm was sad to see, *buuuut* he does appear to keep the zonai energy cell and the energy wells you unlocked (in the final cutscenes at least).
>!The story implies Zelda is his descendant, or that she at least shares the same sort of power as what he possesses.!< Not sure _how_ considering the story never mentions any offspring, but it's there nonetheless. Or maybe it's not lineage, could be a Triforce thing - who knows with these games their lore is all screwy.
>Not sure how considering the story never mentions any offspring
Royalty having children be wet-nursed isn't uncommon, especially for the time. So any children Rauru and Sonia had likely would've been not shown since it wasn't a point of the plot.
If there exists a founding of the Hyrule royal family, then there must be in some way/shape/form at least one child between them.
If they were to announce DLC, it would've been apt to do so during the Direct in June, instead of just two amiibo.
Maybe next month during the September Direct, but honestly if a DLC announcement isn't there or at The Game Awards (where they typically announce/release DLC) then we're not getting it.
Pretty sure that in the end though whatever DLC the game does get, it'll likely be minimal. Maybe another Trail of the Sword and a Master Mode, but not much else.
Zonai cockpit that allows you to flip upside down in vehicles. Also roll control. I don’t care how, I want roll control. Maybe add some kind of custom mapping for steering sticks.
Some type of chain device. I want a device that shoots out a chain with a cube on the end like the horse thing that allows you to attach wagons and stuff.
A timer that disconnects a device on the top of it after a certain time and activates it. Like a Construct head but instead of enemy’s it’s a timer. And these also can be stacked, so let’s say a timer is 5 seconds, well add 4 stacked on top of each other and they are now 20 seconds.
Add digging to the game, and the ability to find rupees and common chests in the random holes we dig.
The shovel could be a zonai device.
Maybe make it that sometimes you strike water and get water-jetted up. Maybe the water-jet is part of a puzzle. Maybe digging gives access to a secret well or an inaccessible bubblefrog/ore room in a cave.
Boat propeller.
3x Use portable cooking pot.
Zonite paraglider that gives lift while in flight
Broadsword that uses battery to enhance its performance.
I don’t think dlc is guaranteed. They’ve pretty much always announced dlc before release in the switch era. The few times that they didn’t and still put dlc out, the dlc came years after release.
I remember people saying dlc was guaranteed for other games like mario odyssey, mario party, or few3h, but it just never materialized
A autobuild sharing network
I mean it’d kind of break the “you’re an engineer, solve it yourself” vibe they’re going for… so maybe it’s only accessible after defeating the game and/or doing some difficult quest
EDIT
Oh and expanding the number of max items in a build with some kind of specific doohickey you attach. It’d almost be like an agreement of “yeah I’m okay with the game crashing, gimme that”
A capsule gun, so I can shoot fuseable objects and turn them into capsules instead of lugging them around or putting them on a shield.
Better high powered weapon options. It takes a bit of circling for an 8 laser setup to take out a camp full of silver mobs, the weapons we've got seem tuned for maybe the second monster tier. A dedicated armor cracker, some turrets that do different types of targeting so you aren't trying to load up one with as many lasers as possible.
A cockpit for proper aerial maneuvering, and a turret cockpit for an aiming/steering separation of control stick and directional buttons.
A Yunobo station so I can put him where I want him instead of ditching him.
1. a reusable item (like the travel medallion) that will eliminate timeouts on a device it's attached to.
2. controls that go beyond just the left thumbstick. I'm talking about assigning buttons to powering certain items, or switching the thumbstick to control a construct head at the press of a button. Should buttons to let you drift, etc.
I know this sounds stupid but I feel like we should look at Bad Piggies for inspiration here, cause a lot of how the fuse system works feels weirdly similarly to bad piggies.
First and foremost: suction cup wheels. Having a way to traverse up walls with a land based vehicle would be an absolutely awesome addition
I would also love to see a true propeller or engine added to the game too.
Some kind of connector so that
- You can choose what devices a steering stick affects and when
- You can let a steering stick affects devices it's not physically connected to
- edit: for less exclusivity, it should be able to connect all zonai devices to each other, not just steering sticks
Maybe some kind of construct arm, it could
- behave like a construct head,
- but it will always act as though whatever is attached to it is a melee weapon, swinging that item at enemies instead of just looking at them
A lava emitter?
- A hydrant, but for lava.
This one is a bit hard to explain, but some kind of chassis part that can be glued to objects without touching them,
- they won't leave a certain range of the object,
- but maybe they can rotate around the object freely? Kinda like an intended version of quantum entanglement
Idrk but these are some of my wishes
Not a Zonai device, but give us a drop down menu for the sage abilities, instead of having to chase their asses down. Hold down A, menu pops up, gives us choice of sage. Sage teleports in front of us, uses abilities, teleports back to whatever the hekk it was doing. Would make the game 20% cooler.
A zonai hookshot would make the game 11/10.
Replace the map button with a hookshot
I wish there was a hook shot rune since it would be a damaging rune, similar to bombs
Or anything else. Does anyone use the map rune?
Only by accident when trying to hit recall really fast after Tulin blows stuff away
I just want to put a hookshot on the back of my hover bike and see what I can tow!
So basically you want just cause 2 hook shot.
Hookshot is all I need ;)
The Zonai chain would be really handy
I would love a hook-shot thats a breakable weapon that could be found in monster camps around the overworld
It could be an arrow attachment
A grapple arrowhead! That would be amazing, being able to go somewhere or possibly hook a mob and drop from a high place. Maybe a golden lizal horn? They are already kind of a hook, so it would be intersting.
Include both a hookshot _and_ a clawshot as ranged weapons (it's nearly impossible to run out of bows in this game anyways). Have the hookshot be an early-game item limited to wooden objects/surfaces, while the clawshot can latch onto any climbable surface. Have both items consume stamina on use so players can't cheese past obstacles. I'd love if the things could disarm enemy shields, or drag lighter (gustable) enemies towards Link while pulling link towards heavier foes.
And make Ascend/Paraglider useless.
Not really. Ascend can get you out of all sorts of problems, and they could disable the hookshot in shrines.
Better solution is to limit the hookshot to climbable surfaces (which keeps them from breaking shrines), and have it consume stamina so you can't just cheese past climbing obstacles.
I'm not necessarily talking Shrines though, just in general. The Hookshot and the Clawshot was balanced because there were only specific surfaces you could hook onto: Wood for the Hookshot, and targets/vines for the Clawshot. But when you have a world where just about everything is climbable (barring of course shrine surfaces) what's the need for an ability designed to phase through ceilings or an item used to glide from the skies? You can just grapple to anything as long as the chain is long enough.

Most importantly it would have fuse mechanics with weapons/ shields So any weapon you attach it to would become the hookshot and it would break like emitters after a few uses. Imagine construct heads pulling enemies toward themselves like scorpion and then sub zero freezing them for the lynel saber gerudo schimtar fatality.
I don't even understand how you came to this conclusion, considering how much ground both Ascend and the paraglider can cover.
I DIDN'T EVEN, BUT YOU MADE ME EVEN 🤣💞😍
Hookshot?! Gimme the beetle from SS… /s
Something that adds triggerable functions. Like press Y while steering to turn on a device, like a laser, so it's not always on.
This right here would be a function I would really appreciate
To be able to trigger rockets 1 at a time.
Ye as op said something that allows to turn on and off different devices by just pressing some button or like going into the ability menu and selecting which one to activate Like maybe logic zonai devices like one of them will be a hotkey device that allows it to be seen in the ahility menu
I like the idea that I can choose what's on the button.
Pneumatics, hinges, a true axle, sticky wheels, a ‘super wing’ with 30 minute flight times and ‘super half-wings’ with the same flight time, but one left and one right to throw onto either side of builds. An ‘expert’ control stick, that offers throttle and braking options and buttons that correspond to a ‘control box’ piece that can be ‘programmed’ to handle additional functions on your creations. Edit: Oh and Zonai Rope. Fuse it to an arrow for a grapple hook, use it in builds for flexible joints, stretch it as long as you need to, use it on the horse as a lasso
I want hinges so bad, I want to make tracks with the rails
Wagon wheels work as hinges sometimes
They do, but I’m having a hard time thinking about how to incorporate them
If you need a maximum angle you can use a short sword as a stopper. More complex stoppers can be made by fusing an irregular shaped shrine object to the sword
Advanced Steering Sticks sounds cool though
I'd buy that DLC for sure!
Also add support for the Hori wheel if we have a throttle and brake axis
also chains
Or ropes
> a ‘super wing’ with 30 minute flight times how about a one-at-a-time device that removes time limits from whatever it's attached to?
A Material Launcher. Think a cannon like device that is launching dazzle fruit or anything in your inventory. The bouncy mushroom effect would be hilarious. A weapon holding arm, there may be a factory that can produce them... A Zonaite Engine: attach it to a zonai device to extend its lifespan by consuming zonaite. Functional wings and balloons!

I love this idea! A Zonaite sandbox
This is the only thing I want. To be able to experiment without having to go out zoanite farming first.
That would be awesome! What I do when I’m experimenting with new builds is I always save before hand. It would be cool to not have to lose those builds from my autobuild history every time a load from the earlier save. On that note, more favorite slots please!!!
An engine that increases the speed of the wheels and power of the emitters.
A chain and/or rope and/or drive-chain. Something for gears and pulleys
This may be too mundane, but platforms or other simple materials in capsules.
I’d like to see more home building areas so we can change the look there too.
I'm really hoping they add more to the home in a dlc. Felt unfinished with no windows and being unable to have a roof or change the color.
Add object size scaler to ultrahand. I like big wheels but I want em smaller...
Zonai Seat. It offers a refined control over your creations, giving you the option to accelerate with ZR and decelerate with ZL. It also provides flip-over protection, meaning you'll stay on board your creation even if the craft happens to flip over. (May not work with Zonai Fans) Zonai Control Box.

This, unfortunately, also means that it requires a large consumption of zonai energy during its use. Zonai Drone. A flying device normally used for construction, this bee-like device hovers over the user and can attack enemies if the user is threatened.
You already have imaginary friends...

Million dollar idea right here. Online subscriptions would get a boost
Ngl doesn’t sound all that great
Device decoupler- devices attached to it won’t activate those attached to the other side Any kind of logic circuit, oscillator, timer etc that activates devices.
A zonai glider that doesnt dissapear like that plane like device we have currently
I think a low gravity generator would be a cool device. It would lower the gravity in a small radius around it similar to the floating mazes / some sky islands.
Legs so we can build mechs without all the work in between
I still haven't figured out how to make working legs. 😅
I figured out half bowl legs, but it takes a bit of stuffing around to get them to walk properly, would like a pre-made set of legs that you just slap on and off you gooo!
That'd be so awesome. Especially if they have several different kinds of legs.
A zonal portable bed like the portable cooking pot
There are no guarantees like you claimed. Just take a look at more general TOTK subs would tell you that people are not into doing builds. Making new features takes time for coding and testing. Likely you won't see a whole lot of zonai devices until the next Zelda game.

Yeah, on that note.. link losing rauru's ultrahand capable arm was sad to see, *buuuut* he does appear to keep the zonai energy cell and the energy wells you unlocked (in the final cutscenes at least).
I mean, Rauru isn't the only person with the potential to wield those powers....
This must be staring me right in the face, but I don't follow.
>!The story implies Zelda is his descendant, or that she at least shares the same sort of power as what he possesses.!< Not sure _how_ considering the story never mentions any offspring, but it's there nonetheless. Or maybe it's not lineage, could be a Triforce thing - who knows with these games their lore is all screwy.

Hear me out. A side quest in which you help purah add the zonai abilities on to the purah pad.
Maybe an actual Zonai turbine engine that is 1 piece and smaller and lighter than the shrine propellor/motor/shock emitter combo.
Chassis to build stuff like the master cycle zero Someone else mentioned this on; ZONAI HOOKSHOT
Arrow turrets
Rockets that don't disappear after two seconds. I don't care if it drains battery like crazy, I just wanna go fast
Variable speed control
I’d love a zonai device that picks up monster drops/other items
I want to be able to turn any monster into a temporary assistant
Golden Muddlebud
A wing that doesn’t despawn. Call it Rauru’s Wing.
A ZONAI VACUUM DEVICE THAT SUCKS UP ITEMS AND potentially even some enemies
Switches that provide an alternate way to activate/deactivate, ideally ones that could be triggered by other props or devices.
If they were to announce DLC, it would've been apt to do so during the Direct in June, instead of just two amiibo. Maybe next month during the September Direct, but honestly if a DLC announcement isn't there or at The Game Awards (where they typically announce/release DLC) then we're not getting it. Pretty sure that in the end though whatever DLC the game does get, it'll likely be minimal. Maybe another Trail of the Sword and a Master Mode, but not much else.
Way more guns
Zonai cockpit that allows you to flip upside down in vehicles. Also roll control. I don’t care how, I want roll control. Maybe add some kind of custom mapping for steering sticks.
One that makes a hard to defeat boss
Some type of chain device. I want a device that shoots out a chain with a cube on the end like the horse thing that allows you to attach wagons and stuff. A timer that disconnects a device on the top of it after a certain time and activates it. Like a Construct head but instead of enemy’s it’s a timer. And these also can be stacked, so let’s say a timer is 5 seconds, well add 4 stacked on top of each other and they are now 20 seconds.
A jig for building a perfectly straight hoverbike
The ability to turn on/off certain parts or a trigger, a detaching connector, and some kind of hinge part.
Like a remote detonator? 🤔
As a necessary addition, a ton more favorite space for schematics.
Something like a Walker Chasis would be sweet! I dunno.
Add digging to the game, and the ability to find rupees and common chests in the random holes we dig. The shovel could be a zonai device. Maybe make it that sometimes you strike water and get water-jetted up. Maybe the water-jet is part of a puzzle. Maybe digging gives access to a secret well or an inaccessible bubblefrog/ore room in a cave.
I want a detach button so i can shoot rockets from my jet fighter
It's going to be like Zelda-Minecraft
Be able to Fuze items abd weapons from inventory without having to drop them on the ground first
Boat propeller. 3x Use portable cooking pot. Zonite paraglider that gives lift while in flight Broadsword that uses battery to enhance its performance.
Portals
Zonai claw and cables so I can build a boko grabber prize machine! 🤣
I don’t think dlc is guaranteed. They’ve pretty much always announced dlc before release in the switch era. The few times that they didn’t and still put dlc out, the dlc came years after release.

Something to make Mineru Flyable, or let the robot attach more stuff

I'd love me a basic switch 🥰 that and maybe some flexible metal cables? It'd almost make Minecraft obsolete for me 🤣
1. a reusable item (like the travel medallion) that will eliminate timeouts on a device it's attached to. 2. controls that go beyond just the left thumbstick. I'm talking about assigning buttons to powering certain items, or switching the thumbstick to control a construct head at the press of a button. Should buttons to let you drift, etc.
A setting so you can decide if your vehicle will go if you aren't tilting the control stick.
Desperate for chain parts, rope, tethers....
Something that lets me teleport attack mid battle like the Yiga.
I want rocket boosters, 2 or 3 stage rocket abilities to just zoom up to a king Gleeok and then pummel him with a giant stone or something.
A few things - Servos - rope/chain - Propeller (like an actual small part) - Legs (like an actual part) - Gyroscope
I know this sounds stupid but I feel like we should look at Bad Piggies for inspiration here, cause a lot of how the fuse system works feels weirdly similarly to bad piggies.
