Here's 10 minutes of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom gameplay, new abilities, weapon fusing and sky islands
Nintendo has released 10 minutes of new footage for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, showing off new abilities, enemies and the sky islands.
In a special gameplay video, we got to see Link use a new Recall ability, that allows him to rewind time. Link uses this to ride a rock that had fallen from the sky back up to where it came from. Here, he then glided on to one of Tears of the Kingdom's sky islands, where he came across new enemies known as «constructs».
This trailer also gave us a look at the new weapon fusing mechanic. Link can add keese eyeballs to arrows to make homing arrows, and mushrooms to shields (yes, mushrooms to shields). When the shroom shield is struck by an advancing enemy, the mushroom creates a cloud of spores that dows the fight in a fog. This fusing technique can also be used to make vehicles like rafts from stray logs and fans, or even flying ships, thanks to the Ultrahand ability.
Another new ability is Ascend. It pretty much does what is says on the tin — it allows Link to ascend through surfaces. We have seen this ability in previous trailers, but now we have more detail about the new mechanic, and let's be honest, it's a game changer for climbing.
Lastly, the heavily expected Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Switch Oled is indeed a thing. It will will launch on 28th April, ahead of Tears of the Kingdom's release on 12th May. Meanwhile, a Tears of the Kingdom Switch Pro Controller and Switch carrying case will release separately on 12th May. Here's how it all looks:
