Building vehicles

Fusion is definitely one of the most fascinating additions to the series. What adds to its grandeur is making vehicles from random objects using the Fusion ability. However, there is one factor to remember is that you need to use scientific methods to create these vehicles.

In this video, Link is seen creating a little raft using two fans and most of the other vehicles created will be available for you to make. This means that you need to keep on trying out different aspects in order to balance out your own vehicle.


Ascension improvised

If you played the older Zelda series games, you know that the engine literally breaks down measuring your climb of mountains depending on stamina. All that will come to an end with this game.

With the new Ascension ability, jumping has become easier than moving. And to add, you can do this without losing a shred of stamina, and you can even go through ceilings. According to the developers, as long as there is a ceiling, you can ascend using this ability.


Improved puzzles

Innovation has been a forte for the Zelda series over the years. And adding to the fact, puzzles have been added that require Fusion ability in this game. As shown and talked about in the reveal video, apparently, you can solve puzzles using the fusion ability in this game.
