With the Fuse ability in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, players can combine weapons and materials to increase their attack power and create unique effects for battle. However, not all fusions are successful. One player attempted to create a scythe using Link's Fuse ability, but the weapon did not function properly. The player shared a video of their failed attempt on social media, prompting other Tears of the Kingdom players to offer advice on what went wrong. It is important to note that while some fusions can have powerful effects, the fused components do not last as long as the original weapons. Fusing a scythe is a particularly challenging task, as this player discovered firsthand.
On the r/tearsofthekingdom subreddit, a user going by the name Smart-Potential-7520 shared an 8-second video featuring a scythe made out of a Silver Lizalfos Horn. The user had fused the horn onto a spear to create the makeshift scythe. Despite the scythe's impressive appearance, it functioned like a regular spear in the game. This left the user disappointed, prompting them to take to Reddit to share their sarcastic yet fittingly titled post.
Within a day, Smart-Potential-7520's post had garnered over 1.9k upvotes on the subreddit. Other players quickly offered solutions to the user's dilemma. Suggestions included using a long stick or a greatsword as a handle to create a scythe that could be swung like a two-handed weapon. One user even recommended attaching a Lizal Boomerang to a two-handed weapon for a similar effect. Other Redditors suggested attaching the horn to a Yiga clan greatsword or a Royal Greatsword to add a curved edge to the weapon's shaft.
Without deleting or modifying any placeholders, the rewritten content is:
It's clear from the examples given by Smart-Potential-7520 and other Tears of the Kingdom players that some weapon fusions are superior to others, even early on in the game. With the title having been released for two weeks already, players' innovative combinations will continue to be shared on social media platforms for some time.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is now available on Nintendo Switch.
