<br>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<br><br>Link's rocking some sort of prehistoric Stone Age look in the gameplay trailer. Not only is he more or <a href="https://Zeldatearsofthekingdomfans.com/articles/zelda-s-voice-memories-revolutionize-switch-2-gaming.html">https://Zeldatearsofthekingdomfans.com</a>; 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>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.

Well, Tears of the Kingdom offers another option.

Another returning creature in water locations is the Octorock, which can be annoying to fight due to its defensive nature. Hyrule Bass are useful for cooking recipes in Zelda: Breath of the Wild , but Fuse could combine them with arrows and allow Link to distract Octorocks with fish while he defeats them without worrying about their defen<br><br> <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> <br>Often fans like to focus on what a highly-anticipated sequel like The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom could add to the original game to make a more fun final product but removing certain elements could be just as fruitful. Redditor DinoRedRex99 certainly thinks so as they emphatically ask for no more weapon durability mechanics in the game unless they "at least make them repairable or somethi<br><br> <br>Even when it received universal critical acclaim upon its release, the one drawback of Breath of the Wild that critics and fans alike complained about was that weapons are far too flimsy, and having to find new ones when they break is frustrating.

Perhaps even more so than the Zelda series' first foray into open-world gameplay, Tears of the Kingdom looks to be an impressively ambitious expansion on the world and mechanics of its predecessor - although much of the game's actual content has remained a mystery, even as it's periodically received new trailers. With a recent gameplay demonstration from series producer Eiji Aonuma, however, four of Link's new abilities have been revealed: Recall, Fuse, Ultrahand, and Ascend, each with seemingly myriad u<br><br>The threat of extreme cold and heat seems to be making a return in Tears of the Kingdom - there's a scene in the trailer that shows dressed-down Link shivering in a freezing landscape - so likely wearable items will continue to play an important strategic role in gameplay.<br><br> <br><img src="https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1586508442756-8fad0f67b8b1?ixid=M3wxMjA3fDB8MXxzZWFyY2h8MTF8fGluLWdhbWUlMjBoYXJsZXktZGF2aWRzb258ZW58MHx8fHwxNzYzNDE0MjU2fDA\u0026ixlib=rb-4.1.0"; style="max-width:440px;float:right;padding:10px 0px 10px 10px;border:0px;" alt="A man wearing Harley Davidson V-Rod Motorcycles Jacket" />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>
