In the new game, there are a ton of new abilities Link can use to help him travel across Hyrule and defeat his enemies. As Link journeys to kill Ganondorf, he has a number of new abilities to help him along the way. Here is how all the abilities work and how they will help you play as Link in Nintendo’s The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

Fuse

The Fuse ability allows Link to create new weapons in Tears of the Kingdom. Users will be able to put together different items and create makeshift weapons like arrows and hammers.

To fully use the Fuse ability, players must find an item and equip it, locate another item and then activate the Fuse ability. Once done, players must press Y or ZL and Fuse both items together.

Some Fuse combos include an arrow and a Keese eyeball which creates a homing arrow or a puff shroom and shield which creates a smoke bomb shield.

Ascend

Ascend has to be by far the coolest ability in Tears of the Kingdom. The Ascend ability allows Link to teleport to the top of structures. It has been noted there are “restrictions” when using Ascend but for the most part it can be used.
