Zelda Tears Of The Kingdom Tips & Tricks
Rewinding is an essential tool
In The Legend Of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, there is a variety of new skills to explore and experiment with. Although some familiar abilities from Breath of the Wild, like Stasis, may be absent, it's important to note that Rewind offers a similar experience.
Essentially, you'll primarily utilize the Recall function of this ability to hurl rocks and other dangers back at your enemies. Additionally, Rewind has the capability to immobilize objects. For instance, if you seize an object using Ultrahand and keep it in place for a few seconds, you can release it, causing it to remain frozen.
Grab Every Bomb Flower You Come Across
The importance of bomb flowers cannot be emphasized enough. These items possess inherent potential, which is further enhanced by the ability to combine them with arrows. While throwing bomb flowers is effective for shorter distances, using explosive arrows can provide a significant advantage in initiating combat encounters.
Moreover, as you delve into the numerous caves of Tears of the Kingdom, you will frequently encounter obstructive rock walls that hinder your progress. While there are several methods to demolish them, bomb flowers prove to be particularly useful in such situations.
Stock up on Zonai Devices
Zonai Devices may seem overwhelming at first, but they are crucial for your adventure. Whenever you find a Zonai Dispenser, make sure to collect these devices.
If you're stuck on a puzzle or can't enter a cave, you can usually use a Zonai Device to help. However, if you create something using Zonai Devices or materials and you get defeated, that creation will be reset. This happens even if you reload a previous save!
Having Zonai Device capsules in your inventory can save you many times. After reloading a previous save, you can rebuild what you need. So, if you see a Zonai Dispenser, grab a few capsules. It's always better not to rely solely on your surroundings for building.
Octoroks Can Repair (And Upgrade) Your Weapons
In certain situations, it's important to anticipate the need to hold onto a valuable weapon. Interestingly, when you encounter an Octorok, you can employ a clever tactic to preserve your weapon for future use, rather than simply saving it for later.
If you throw a weapon near an Octorok (not directly at it), the creature will likely inhale and suck it up during its next attack. Subsequently, it will shoot the weapon back at you in anger, but the remarkable part is that the weapon will be fully repaired and may even gain an additional ability, such as faster charging times! Remember this strategy when facing Octoroks.
Build Your Dream Home In Tarrey Town
Zelda has made her home in Link's Hateno Village residence, which means you'll need to build a new house in Tears of the Kingdom. However, if you stick to the main path, you might easily overlook this opportunity. To embark on your architectural adventure, make your way to Tarrey Town near Lake Akkala.
Before you can acquire your own plot of land, you'll need to complete a quest for the Hudson Construction company. Once that's accomplished, you can purchase individual parts and construct a comfortable living space with all the essential amenities you can think of. However, be prepared as it can be quite costly, so bring along an ample supply of rupees and unleash your imagination before you begin.
complete every shrine you encounter
Even if you're not interested in completing the shrines to receive Light Blessings for improved health and stamina, it is advisable to at least activate them. By doing so, you'll have access to new fast travel points. This way, you can revisit them later without the need to trek back to previously visited locations.
This advice is particularly important for shrines located in the sky since it's easy to get disoriented and spend hours without stumbling upon a shrine or puzzle that you may have encountered before. Treat shrines as points of interest on your map that you should mark off whenever you come across them.
