<br>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<br><br>Link's rocking some sort of prehistoric Stone Age look in the gameplay trailer. Not only is he more or less shirtless, but he also sports unbound long hair and noticeable arm tattoos that look very Sheikah-like. In Breath of the Wild, different outfits and equipment gave Link specific abilities that helped him survive certain environments and enemies.<br><br> <br>Like the Master Sword, a bow and arrows show up frequently in <a href="https://zeldatearsofthekingdomfans.com/articles/donkey-kong-bananza-s-liberating-player-freedom.html">Zelda inspired Gameplay</a> games, and often with different types of arrows that can be earned or found. The typical magic arrow types: fire, ice, and light, all have their own uses, making the bow a more versatile weapon, and it's even occasionally necessary for solving puzzles. How strong different arrows are can vary in Zelda games, especially with Light Arrows' magic powers . But given the possibility that Zelda is indisposed during at least a portion of TOTK , the Light Arrows could be an iconic addition as well as useful for Link as he fights against evil forces without the help of Zelda's divine powers, which were crucial against Calamity Ga<br><br>With this update, the same types of combatants may fight differently depending on their Fused weapon of choice. A recurring theme in the Tears of the Kingdom trailer seems to be that players should expect a heightened need for creative problem-solving. That seems particularly true for in-game combat.<br><br> <br>Recovered memories also reveal details surrounding the various champions. Mipha is revealed to have had an unrequited crush on Link. On the other hand, Revali was aloof and arrogant, seeing himself as far better suited for the role of Hero. Daruk was loud, boisterous, and a true friend to the young hero, while Urbosa was a strong chief and a mother figure for Zelda. But regardless of these different personalities, however, the four Champions ultimately came together in defense of Hyrule. Even if they ultimately failed, it is clear that they were all heroes in their own ri<br><br>Is Hyrule getting European medieval-style dragons now? If so, does this mean that Link can get snatched into the sky at any time? Are beloved horse companions subject to this overhead threat too? Guess only time will tell.<br><br> <br>This is another combination with high potential for utility, but with the drawback of doing little to no damage. Mighty Bananas are notoriously loved by the Yiga Clan in BOTW , and they're easy to obtain since they can be purchased from Emri in Kara Kara Bazaar. Taking a feature from Mario Kart , Mighty Banana Arrows could be used to make enemies slip, stunning them for a short period of time, and possibly doing a minimal amount of damage, if <br><br> <br>This one might be a little more on the unusual side, but if Link's new ability in Tears of the Kingdom can be used to combine any two items, then he would be able to combine Milk with Arrows. Since magic is a recurring ability in Zelda games, it wouldn't be too far-fetched for some item combinations to result in a magical product. In the case of Milk Arrows, they could turn enemies into a cow, effectively removing them from combat for a short duration of t<br><br> <br>In Kakariko Village, an elderly incarnation of Impa provides Link with a blue Champion's Tunic and tells him he may be able to recover his memories by tracking down significant locations, hinted at by photographs stored on the Sheikah Slate (which once belonged to Zelda). Through these memories, it is revealed that Zelda struggled to awaken her powers and was initially resentful of Link for easily drawing the Master Sword and his obvious skills. However, the pair slowly grew closer, thanks in large part to Link protecting her from assassination attempts by the Yiga clan; a disaffected Sheikah who felt betrayed by the royal family and decided to follow Ganon inst<br><br> <br>Of course, this stalemate cannot last forever. Already, Zelda’s power is waning, so Rhoam tasks Link with rescuing the princess and defeating Calamity Ganon before her strength is fully exhausted. As part of this quest, Link is also instructed to free the Divine Beasts, which would be invaluable in the final battle. Finally, with his own strength reaching his limits, the King gives Link his paraglider and instructs the young hero to seek out Impa of Kakariko Village, who will guide him further. The King’s spirit then disappears once m<br><br> <br>The next Tears of the Kingdom ability shown, Fuse, allows players to combine their weapons with objects and materials. From the footage, Link is shown fusing a rock onto the end of a basic stick to create a makeshift hammer, and a pitchfork with a long stick to create a comically over-sized spear. Importantly for BOTW's controversial weapon durability , fusing the weapons seemingly resets their durability and, at least in the case of the stick/rock fusion, greatly extends it, while also increasing the weapon's damage. Fusing weapons with materials, objects, or even other weapons can seemingly lead to specialized equipment, like the greatly extended range of the combined pitchf<br>
