Intro
Fans of creative open-world engineering have another reason to revisit Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom on Nintendo Switch.
The game, developed by Nintendo EPD with support from Monolith Soft and released on May 12, 2023, has become a platform for community-built vehicles and machines using the Ultrahand and crafting systems.
One recent build by creator @domodesu0002 reimagines the iconic Podracer aesthetic from Star Wars inside Hyrule — and the designer has released the build with a scannable QR code for others to import.
What the build does
Creator @domodesu0002 has published updated footage showing a refined Ultrahand Podracer that expands on an earlier proof-of-concept.
The new version adds detailed engine covers, visible rocket elements, a cable system reminiscent of Anakin Skywalker’s Podracer, and a chassis that intentionally evokes Tatooine’s desert aesthetic.
The designer shared a short video clipped as a YouTube Short and posted the build on X, accompanied by a QR code that players can scan to import the design through the game’s creation-sharing feature.

According to the posted materials from @domodesu0002, the latest Ultrahand iteration transforms the original experiment into a more film-accurate Podracer, featuring realistic engine casings, rocket components, an Anakin-style cable rig, and a desert-ready chassis.
How to access the build
The creator uploaded the design publicly on X and provided a scannable QR code intended for use with Tears of the Kingdom’s in-game sharing tools (commonly used through the game’s Notes/creation features).
Players who want to try the build can scan the shared code to replicate the Podracer on their own Nintendo Switch systems running Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
Context and relevance
Tears of the Kingdom continues to be a major hit on Nintendo Switch; the title launched May 12, 2023, and remains a popular platform for fan ingenuity thanks to its robust crafting and physics tools.
Community creations such as this Ultrahand Podracer highlight how players use in-game systems to recreate properties and gameplay concepts from other franchises.
The shared QR approach also demonstrates how social platforms like X and short-form video can amplify mod-like creations within Nintendo’s user community.
Bottom line
While official cross-franchise racing titles remain separate, the Zelda community’s inventive use of Ultrahand gives Switch players a ready-made Podracing experience inside Hyrule.
The published QR code and accompanying short video make it straightforward for interested players to import and test the build themselves.
