We’ve talked about the potential of the new building and combination mechanics in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom in the past: but it’s another thing entirely to see it in action.

Through several scripted sequences, Nintendo shows off some more potential for the game’s core mechanics, including Fusion and Ascend. One player creates an air ship, and another player attempts to cross an aerial track with a makeshift minecart. We also get full confirmation of the Flame Gleeok boss 20 seconds in.
