Link can turn anything into a weapon in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

THE LEGEND of Zelda: Breath of the Wild was one of the most popular games of all time, and now we know more about its sequel. 

Called The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, the game is a direct follow-up to Breath of the Wild, taking place shortly after that game’s ending.

Despite being announced in 2021, very few details have been released about the upcoming game, and many were concerned that it might not be different enough. 

Now, Nintendo has released a ten-minute gameplay video, showing off a host of new features and abilities available to protagonist Link. 

Four new abilities were shown off in the video, all of which are enabled by Link’s new robotic arm, which was not present in the last game. 

The first, Fuse, allows players to combine any two objects in the world to create a weapon, shield, or other useful object. 

The trailer showed off the combination of a stick and a rock, creating a powerful hammer with heaps of durability. 

The next ability is called Ultrahand, which lets players stick objects in the world together to create structures and vehicles. 

The vehicles were shown off in a previous teaser trailer, but many assumed they were pre-built objects out in the world. 

Another ability shown off was Recall, which rewinds time for a particular object, letting you undo damage done to an object or return it to where it came from. 

The main use case for this in the trailer seemed to be ascending into a sky island, using a large object that had fallen to the ground from the island. 

The final ability shown was Ascend, a useful ability that lets Link travel through ceilings in just about any structure, man-made or natural, that is above him. 

This lets players scale mountains quickly without using stamina, or escape from cages or caves when trapped. 

The new abilities show that Nintendo is getting serious about allowing players freedom of choice, offering many tools to play however they want. 

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom will launch on the Nintendo Switch on May 12, 2023.
