What is Fuse in Tears of the Kingdom?
As the name suggests, Fuse enables Link to combine various items together to create makeshift weapons. For example, combining a tree branch with a boulder will create a hammer that can be used to pulverize Link’s enemies. These player-created weapons also have various effects that differ from ordinary weapons found across Hyrule.
