In fact, the mobile cooking pot in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is meant for Link to prepare dishes on the go. Players have used the item in the past to build vehicles. Even the development team did not anticipate how creative players would get.
How can a cooking pot be used to build a car? Tears of the Kingdom gives players nearly unlimited options to build their own vehicle, aircraft, or boat. Even items like a weapon or a cooking pot can be repurposed for building.
This allows for the construction of useful vehicles, as well as absurd creations. One example: players have tapped into their creative side to build penises. In a presentation at GDC 20204, the technical director Takuhiro Dohta shows the crazy combinations players have come up with:
What creative ideas were there? Dohta revealed that players wedged a frozen piece of meat under a shield to surf through Hyrule. Others discovered that the cooking pot can serve as an axle for the wheels of a vehicle.
This makes the vehicle even more agile and allows it to move faster on the ground. Dohta admits that even the team did not think that the cooking pot could be used for vehicles. They did not expect such items to be repurposed.

What other examples does he show? One player apparently tested the maximum number of items that can be connected. He glued so many logs together that he could even overcome large chasms with them.
Other constructions were more entertaining than useful. One player created furniture from Koroks, which he could spin around in circles thanks to a fan. Others attached an explosive barrel to their shield, which probably does not end well.

In the presentation, there are also examples where the constructs suddenly bug out wildly. Most of the time, they are built unevenly and lead to even more chaos in Hyrule. The developers joke that the world would “self-destruct without needing Ganondorf.”
