The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom <\/em>takes the freeform combat that players loved in Breath of the Wild <\/em>and expands upon it in multiple different ways. This includes the addition of a fusion mechanic which allows weapons and arrows to be fused with other objects\u2014giving them unique properties that could turn the tide of a battle. <\/p>
To fuse arrows in TotK<\/em>, players need to draw their equipped bow and notch an arrow using the ZR button\u2014if you haven\u2019t changed your controls<\/a>.\u00a0From there, you can fire your arrow of choice like normal. But if you’d instead like to fire a special projectile, simply follow these steps:<\/p>
- Hit the Up button on your D-Pad.<\/li>
- When the next menu pops up, scroll through your inventory to select a compatible material to fuse with your arrow.<\/li>
- After scrolling with your right thumbstick, select your choice and watch the properties of that material fuse your arrow into something new. This will give your projectile new properties, such as being on fire, freezing a target on impact, or even homing onto a target mid-flight.\u00a0<\/li> <\/ol>

If you’re anything like me, fusing your arrows in TotK<\/em> might feel a little tedious at first but then the satisfaction of freezing an enemy in its tracks makes the effort worth it. After all, this is the way you will be crafting your various special arrows throughout the game, so you should probably get used to the motions\u2014you may even find it worthwhile to fuse items with the Master Sword<\/a> itself.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
