The long-awaited sequel to Breath of the Wild arrived 2023 to universal acclaim and multiple awards. Expanding on the open-world exploration of its predecessor, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom offers a revised and expanded Hyrule with new locales, mechanics, and tougher challenges and foes. Among its most novel additions is the Fuse mechanic, a perfect antidote to the limited weapon durability signature to this new style of open-world Zelda. The ability to Fuse items to weapons not only saves players from breaking them but can produce even more potent and capable weaponry.
