While gacha mechanics aren’t always welcomed with open arms, there’s nothing to worry about in this case. As explained in our Tears of the Kingdom section, these huge machines contain the parts used to assemble the vehicles. Here’s a rough Google translation of the teaser tweet, along with a screenshot shared by Nintendo:
“I found a mysterious structure on Sky Island. It looks like a spherical object is stuck inside…”
And here’s what we had to say in our Tears of the Kingdom lore about these mysterious new devices:
“Parts that we’ve seen in the trailers, like fans and control platforms, can be found scattered around the world in various quantities, but they can also be found in those gacha machines like orbs, and more importantly, they can be carried around in feel free to list yours.”
A number of other media outlets have also shared details on exactly how these machines will work in the game. Here is another description (via IGN):
“Why yes, it was a giant Gacha machine… You can give these machines a new item called ‘Zonai Fees’ to get a variety of items in return, especially Zonai Devices used to craft gadgets. For example, Zonai Devices include fans that it can power a vehicle, portable cooking pots, a flamethrower, and more. So if you’re looking for tech to make your builds work, keep an eye out for these big chewing machines!”
