🛩️ Best Flying Machines in Zelda TOTK

Flying machines vs hoverbikes

Hoverbikes are the most popular way to fly, but other flying machines are often faster, more stable at high altitude, and some carry more equipment. The trade-off: they usually cost more Zonaite and can be harder to control.

Types of flying machines

Hoverbikes are the cheapest and most versatile. Wings and gliders feel the most natural but take more skill. Planes are stable at high altitude but cost more. Drones are built for combat or cargo rather than travel. Balloons are slow but very stable, great to reach a precise height.

How much Zonaite do flying machines cost?

Simple hoverbikes start at a few Zonaite, so you can use them very early. Standard planes usually cost 15 to 40 Zonaite, and the most complex machines more than 50. The cost is shown on every build.
