It turns out Tears of the Kingdom’s cooking pot Zonai device is good for more than just cooking a meal in the open world. One clever fan tinkered with the pot and found it works well as a makeshift axle or joint, and it’s even flexible.
If you’re like me and have absolutely rubbish luck at building wheeled creations in the new Zelda game, then this little trick is quite the revelation. It attaches with ease to flat surfaces like a wooden board or cart base and gives you an extra point to attach your wheels, removing the struggle to get them just right against the flat cart.

Better still, it gives you some added flexibility since it lets the wheels turn more easily, as you can see in the video and as I discovered in my own experiments. That’s pretty handy, considering some carts and even pre-built creations you get from schematics, such as the beam bicycle, turn reluctantly, thanks in part to the control stick’s limited movement range.
The cooking pot stays active on the field until you cook a dish in it, so it won’t vanish like a rocket. It never consumes energy either, and you’re almost guaranteed to get a flood of them from device dispensers.
The pot’s usefulness doesn’t stop there, either. You can use it for some extra height for your springs, attach rockets to it to save space, or just stick it on the side of a contraption if you need more room for other devices, fans, or batteries.
It’s surprisingly versatile, though equally surprising is that it hasn’t shown up in the most popular Korok travel-slash-bullying devices – yet.
