Ultrahand

Ultrahand is an ability in Tears of the Kingdom.^[1]

Overview

Ultrahand is an Ancient Power that allows Link to stick Objects together or move them. When Ultrahand is used, Link has the option to move Objects around or rotate them either vertically or horizontally. If Link moves an Object close to another one, he can bind them together with a mysterious, green viscous substance. This substance can hold shape in water, allowing Link to create transportation such as Rafts with Logs and Fans or Sails. Bound objects can also be split apart into their constituent parts if Link wishes to reassemble them in a different way.

When multiple Zonai Devices are connected to an object using Ultrahand, triggering one Device will activate all of the attached Devices at once. This allows Link to use Ultrahand to build a wide variety of Vehicles.

Nomenclature

The Ultrahand ability's name may be a reference to the Ultra Hand (also called ウルトラハンド in Japanese), a toy made by Nintendo in the late 1960s. The toy was invented by Gunpei Yokoi, and was the first of his many creations that helped establish Nintendo as a successful toy and later video game company, with others being the Game and Watch and Game Boy.
