It looks something like this when Zelda Tears of the Kingdom fans use the cannon engine.
True to the motto “It’s not clever, but cool”, Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom fans shoot their way through Hyrule’s botany. In other words, some fans are experimenting with an alternative cannon drive for their vehicles. So far, however, the explosive engine has only been used to a limited extent for locomotion, because the whole thing can hardly be controlled at all. But it’s just extremely funny and so beautifully chaotic.
Zelda TotK: You can use cannons to power vehicles and ignite pure, fun mayhem
That’s what it’s about: In Zelda Tears of the Kingdom there are almost endless possibilities to tinker your own planes and vehicles. We have various wheels, fans and much more at our disposal for this purpose. But you can also ignore all this and instead of wheels just tinker a cannon on your vehicle and let it hurl you through the area.
It looks like this, for example:

How it works: In the video above, the cannon is combined with a guidance device, a roly-poly and a spring. Actually, these Sonau components are not necessarily common in this combination, but that’s what makes it so funny. The most important thing is probably the roly-poly that keeps our hot seat upright so we don’t just tip over.
Of course, this is also possible with other combinations and a few sizes larger. Thanks to the recall time reversal, Link even sits really well protected behind thick armored stone slabs while he shoots through the area (but steering only works moderately here):

Lets go on we can do it better: Obviously we are still at the beginning of the research here. But the Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom scientists are certainly already working flat out to perfect this new drive technology for the mass market.
Seems promising for example the use in combination with hot air balloons. Here it is at least much more controlled and the cannon shots still give the aircraft a decent speed boost:

If you even more crazy buildings and vehicles want to see in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom:
We will of course keep you updated on the development of the new cannon engine in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom. Until then, excuse me, I still have a huge game world to explore. Even if I tend to do it with clumsy boards on wheels with fans or something.
What do you think of the literally bombastic idea of using cannons for propulsion?
