Zeldafans are paying tribute to severalBreath of the Wildweapons that did not make it toThe Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. The Fuse ability allows players to combine and create powerful weapons of their own inThe Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, and some creations may resemble prized weapons that were previously available inBreath of the Wild.
Zelda: Tears of the Kingdomtakes place directly after the events ofBreath of the Wild, and the Upheaval disaster at the start of the game caused many great changes in the vast Kingdom of Hyrule. Hyrule Castle was lifted off of the ground, and several islands appeared floating high in the sky. After waking up inthe Great Sky Islandwith a decayed Master Sword, Link is determined to search for Zelda in the land below, but Rauru suggests that the Hylian hero should strengthen his newly transplanted arm. Link gains the Ultrahand, Ascend, Fuse, and Recall abilities from four introductory shrines, which teach the essentials of exploring and procuring weapons in Hyrule.
