In a similar vein to Fuse, the Ultrahand ability allows Link to bind objects together, being the method for creating the vehicles previously seen in trailers. Functioning similarly to the previous game's Magnesis ability, Link uses it first to pick up objects, rotate them, and move them around, being able to stick them to the surfaces of other objects once in proximity. In the demonstration, Link creates a rudimentary boat by fusing three logs and two strange mechanical fans, with the fans starting when hit and seemingly operating off of a limited, but replenishing battery gauge similar to Link's own stam

Civilization 6 is the latest entry in one of the world's most popular 4X strategy games. Although it was originally released for PC in 2016, it was two years before it was ported to Nintendo Switch and the constant release of DLC has helped it maintain a fresh feel

The Lizalfos of Breath of the Wild don't have every boomerang in the game to themselves – not when there are giant Boomerangs out there to be discovered. These massive, traditionally-shaped boomerangs are slow, but they're also huge enough to wallop enemies as a handheld weapon and cover enough ground when thrown to strike a large group d

While there are no three-headed dragons present in Breath of the Wild, Link has faced off against similar creatures across The Legend of Zelda's history. Most notably, the first title in the series featured a boss named Gleeok, a similar three-headed dragon that is only defeated by the removal of its many heads. If that's the same creature, it would be making its 3D debut after being seen in various 2D titles , much like the Lynels of the previous g

While the Hookshot might be more commonly used in Zelda 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

Interestingly, another vehicle shown in the demonstration is a basic flying raft - a wooden platform fused with four downward-facing fans and a sail, allowing it to move with the direction of the wind. The limited battery, however, seems to greatly restrict such devices from gaining too much height, which is a far cry from the sky-faring vehicles previously seen in trailers. While not elaborated on in the gameplay demonstration, it seems likely that Tears of the Kingdom 's progression will eventually allow for dedicated ways of building more complicated vehicles, with much greater or even unlimited energy suppl

The last ability shown in Tears of the Kingdom 's gameplay demonstration, which can also be seen in previous trailers, is Ascend, which allows Link to go through ceilings, essentially "swimming" through until he reaches the floor above. The ability seemingly doesn't let the player choose an angled trajectory, as the demonstration shows Link shooting directly upwards, and while thin ceilings and platforms will allow Link to phase through almost instantly, others will require more time. This can be seen in the demonstration, where Link uses Ascend on the ceiling of a cave to rise to the top of a small mountain, with Link going through a brief, portal-like transition before emerging at the

Interestingly, a close inspection of the brief footage of them shows that each contraption is stuck together by an unknown green substance. This mystery glue is just one of many similar elements that we see in the trai

The ability, while more straightforward in its use than Fuse or Ultrahand, seems like a handy aid for quicker exploration, allowing Link to skip climbing in certain areas - and also bypassing the need to manage stamina. Additionally, Ascend seems likely to be an opportunity for TOTK to add some devious secrets or puzzles, like rooms or areas hidden beneath the ceiling of one area and the floor of another. However, the demonstration also mentions certain limitations to the ability, which are likely related mostly to the ability's range and maximum travelable dista

While prerelease info regarding the upcoming The Legend of Zelda Tears Of the Kingdom missions: Tears of the Kingdom _ **** has been somewhat scarce, a new gameplay showcase has given an in-depth look at some of Link's new abilities. As a rare direct sequel in the _Zelda franchise, Tears of the Kingdom continues the story started in Breath of the Wild , bringing Link back to the same post-apocalyptic Hyrule. However, while the overall landscape seems to be remaining similar to Breath of the Wild 's, new additions like mysterious floating islands and gameplay changes like the ability to build vehicles promise to provide big shake-ups to the game's open wo

The ability can also be used on shields and arrows, with the demonstration showing off a mushroom-fused shield, creating an obscuring cloud of smoke when hit, as well as two types of arrows: those fused with White Chuchu Jelly, creating a freezing cloud when fired, and Keese Eyeball-fused homing arrows that track down enemies. Unlike when Link was shown fusing melee weapons however, using Fuse for arrows seemed to pull materials directly from the player's inventory, with a small menu of selectable options popping up - although it seems likely that the ability could be used either way for weapons, shields, and arr
