Breath of the Wild not only introduced an open world map, it also gave players the chance to be creative in the way they approached the game. Now, Tears of the Kingdom is showing that players will be able to get even more creative with Link's new abilities, one of which lets him combine any two items for a staggering number of possible combinations. While combinations with arrows already have a lot of potential, this is only the beginning of what Fuse could do in _The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

While the Cobble Crusher (and its upgraded variation, the Boulder Breaker) are pretty solid for combat, its primary purpose is usually destroying boulders and other large objects. To make this handy weapon more viable for regular use, combine it with the Great Frostblade. This large, frigid sword should improve the Cobble Crusher's attack power while also embedding it with ice abilities, making it even more useful in the Death Mountain reg

Tears of the Kingdom has already been shown to build upon the world created in BOTW in numerous ways. Although much of the main plot line is being kept under wraps, trailers for TOTK have shown new vehicles and weapons being used by Link to explore both the land of Hyrule and the sky above it. BOTW placed great emphasis on foraging for equipment, as well as utilizing a durability system. Consequently, there were few permanent additions to Link’s inventory. TOTK could change this by adding some useful tools which would never need replacing, thereby removing one of the main sources of frustration in BOTW ’s gamep

When fighting enemies with a lot of health, a way to deal damage over time can be helpful. Using the new TOTK Fuse ability to combine a Crab with an arrow could create a Crab Arrow that has the Crab bite enemies to deal a small amount of damage over time. This can also prove useful against bosses with mechanics that require Link to move in order to avoid damage, as the Crab Arrow can keep dealing some amount of damage to the boss while Link is unable to properly att

While the Hookshot might be more commonly used in Zelda New Villain Null as a tool to help Link get to places he'd otherwise be unable to reach, it can also be a good weapon with its versatility. Depending on the enemies and the game, the Hookshot can pull either the enemy to Link or vice versa. Smaller enemies can be defeated by hitting them with the Hookshot, and it has the capability of stunning larger enemies. Even Dampé in Ocarina of Time considered the Hookshot to be a treas

Link and Zelda likely spent the months following Breath of the Wild piecing their scattered kingdom back together , the remnants of which have either been repaired or altered in many of the locales spotted throughout the trailer. The towers we once climbed are now surrounded with eerie spotlights, while Hateno’s welcoming atmosphere now is punctured by an aura of fluorescent green energy and a constant darkness that forces its inhabitants to hide away in fear of retaliation. I used to feel welcomed by this place, and now it terrifies me.

Diamonds in Breath of the Wild are used for Weapon Recovery and Armor Upgrades, but Fuse could give them a new set of uses through combining them with other items. Diamond Arrows could pierce through multiple enemies, even if the damage is reduced for each enemy hit. Another ability for Diamond Arrows could be breaking through rocks that would otherwise require a bomb to break, giving them utility outside of com

So why not combine the torch with another fire-based weapon with a little more damage-dealing capability? The Meteor Rod, an upgrade to the Fire Rod, allows you to blast three small fireballs forward with every swing. Give this already-glowing fire weapon the ability to be held idly to light your path while retaining its flame orb functions, and both of these weapons would see their respective strengths impro

Tears of the Kingdom's Link can merge different items together with Fuse. And not just some items; at least if the trailer is any indication, pretty much everything within the interactive environment is up for grabs.

Much like Hyrule Bass, Fortified Pumpkins in Breath of the Wild are mostly used for cooking. Since they're one of the foods favored by the Sheikah, Link can easily purchase them in Kakariko Village at a shop next to the pumpkin patch. However, Tears of the Kingdom could turn pumpkins into a weapon rather than having them be primarily used for cook

Although it's novel, the Double Axe could be even more powerful in Tears of the Kingdom. Combining its reach with the hefty power of the upgraded Ancient Battle Axe could give you a dual-bladed ancient weapon capable of clearing whole cro

The Korok Leaf is, like the Torch, an item based more around utility than being the weapon BOTW classifies it as. Able to create strong gusts of wind, the Korok Leaf is most often used to propel the many sailing rafts found around Hyrule. By the same token, it can also be used to force enemies backward. Now, with the most recent trailer revealing the existence of new vehicles, it seems more likely than ever that Tears of the Kingdom will improve ocean exploration and sailing. A new version of the Korok Leaf as a tool could easily contribute to this by allowing for the continuous use of sa
