As players embark on a new adventure in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, they will notice a lack of familiar abilities from Breath of the Wild, such as the Sheikah slate runes. While this may be disappointing for some, the game's new features, including makeshift vehicles and rafts, have been well-received by fans. One talented Zelda enthusiast has even managed to recreate Link's ice powers from Breath of the Wild within Tears of the Kingdom, adding a new level of excitement to the gameplay.
A player named Ikani has discovered a helpful trick in the popular game, Link. By shooting an ice arrow at a body of water, a small ice platform is formed where the arrow hits. Fans have since found that using the Ultrahand ability to raise and lower the block, they can then use Tears of the Kingdom's new Recall ability to lift Link to otherwise unreachable places.
In the comments section, other fans are sharing additional tips and tricks. One such tip involves fusing ice onto a weapon to create more ice for bridges to run on water with. Those who have tried combining the two methods have reported success, comparing it to the Cryonis rune. If you miss Link's icy platforms, give this technique a try.
The open-world game TOTK has exceeded expectations, much like Breath of the Wild did six years prior. Fans continue to discover new and exciting activities within the game on a daily basis, such as the Autobuild ability which enables players to gather apples quickly in Tears of the Kingdom. The introduction of new abilities has brought joy to gamers everywhere, despite the fact that it means bidding farewell to the runes in Breath of the Wild. The game's emphasis on creativity has allowed players to create a wide range of unique items and experiences, resulting in shared laughter among fans. It is safe to say that TOTK's commitment to promoting creative freedom will keep fans engaged for quite some time.
