Nintendo shows 10 minutes of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom gameplay
Nintendo has released 10 minutes of gameplay footage from The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
The footage, which is narrated by series producer Eiji Aonuma, shows off Link’s new abilities in detail.
The video can be viewed below:
The footage opens with Link exploring Hyrule on a horse, while areas of land, referred to as Sky Islands, can be seen high in the air.
Suddenly, a large piece of rock falls from one of the Sky Islands. Link runs over to it and uses one of his new abilities, Recall, which rewinds time.
By standing on the rock and using Recall, Link can reach the Sky Island as the rock travels back to its starting position.
“There are lots of ways to reach the Sky Islands, so we hope you’ll try a few different methods”, Aonuma says.
The footage then shows Link on a larger Sky Island, where he takes on a new enemy called a Construct. We’re then shown another new ability, Fuse, in which Link takes a tree branch and sticks it to a large rock to create a new weapon, a makeshift hammer.
Aonuma says the Fuse ability can be used in a number of ways, including merging two weapons together. By Fusing a long stick with a pitchfork, players can create an exceptionally long spear. Players can also fuse arrows with materials – by merging one with an ice elemental ingredient, they can fire a shot that freezes enemies.
The footage also shows Link trying to shoot down a bird from the sky, but being unable to do so because it’s too fast. The player Fuses an arrow with a Keese Eyeball, turning it into a homing arrow.
