An open world unlike any other 252h4g

Before starting your journey through the Hyrule of the The Legends of Zelda for Nintendo Switch, it must be borne in mind that both BoTW when ToTK have a world-building unlike any other AAA game on the market, with the player's sense of discovery being the main goal of the game's design.

so much Tears of the Kingdom as its predecessor has a rare density in the market, in which it is possible to accomplish almost anything that comes to your mind with a little creativity and there are several solutions for the same problem. In addition, novice players must also understand that there are rare occasions when the exact place where they must go is marked on the map, oftentimes, it is necessary to pay attention to the NPC's dialogues.

That way, your adventure will be even more unique and save will have notable differences in the journey, especially when compared to other players in the game!

Don't forget the Paraglider! 4b264f

Contrary to what happens in Breath of the WildOn Tears of the Kingdom the player does not receive his faithful companion of adventure - the paraglider – right when you finish the tutorial. So for some s, particularly those who are eager to get the most out of the open world content that ToTK offer, it's easy to forget about it and find yourself with great difficulties in exploration.

However, even though it is not so in the face, it is still easy to obtain. Just do a few of the first main missions, in particular talking to Purah at Lookout Landing, where Link will land nearby after his first high jump. Through these initial objectives, the character will be presented with the glider and from that moment on, the exploration will become even more interesting.

Also, without the glider, it will be impossible for the player to the Towers on the map, which give an important insight into the geography of the region and thus facilitate their planning of where they should go next.

Order of main quests? 2z35i

After Link understood the troubles that befell Hyrule, after the events that were explained right in the introduction of Tears of the Kingdom, it is necessary for him to visit the different towns of the kingdom in search of more information. Although the player is free to go to any area at will, a tip that can help a lot in exploration throughout all hours of the game is to pay a visit to Rito Village.

It's an optional tip, but when completing the missions and solving the problem that affects the village, a new ability will be released to Link, which allows him to have more momentum while using his glider in the heights. Thus, it is easier to reach more hidden places on the map, where with a simple jump the character would not be able to land.

Although the power differs from that granted by Revali in Breath of the Wild, it maintains the same logic of helping the player in exploration. So, when you're deciding your Link's first destinies in Tears of the Kingdom, consider visiting the Tabantha Frontier region!

respect your limits 333g4z

The two main games in the Zelda franchise for the Nintendo Switch work with the idea that his open world map holds many surprises, mainly powerful enemies capable of taking Link down with a blow or two. So, another tip for not getting frustrated with the game is to respect your limits.

If a battle is complicated or the character doesn't have enough vitality to climb a certain mountain, consider accomplishing other objectives first and then later come back there with more experience. Of course, if you feel confident, you can try anyway, perhaps with creative solutions or other approaches to the problem.

Remove the HUD from your game 2r55n

Another interesting suggestion to improve immersion in your long and wonderful adventure through the world of Hyrule is to completely remove the HUD from the game. Despite being aimed at more experienced players, the feeling of having even less information as you explore the map makes the feeling of discovering new things even better.

To do this, just go to the game options and activate PRO mode. Thus, all information that remains on the player's screen, such as map, hearts, temperature and other shortcuts will be removed. Now, it's up to the player to control Link in an even more immersive way, since without these visual distortions, you'll be more connected to the environment and atmosphere of Tears of the Kingdom, as well as increasing the challenge a bit, for those who like to rely more on their intuition or skills.

Always carry wooden weapons and shields 405n4v

Lightning storms are often one of the most difficult weather conditions for both BoTW how much of ToTK. During this time, electrical discharges often descend from the skies to the surface of Hyrule and unsuspecting players can lose their lives when struck by one of these, especially if Link is equipped with something made of metal.

It is possible to know that the hero will soon be the target of this electrical discharge when, in the middle of a rain, his weapons begin to spark in a yellow tone. Swap them as soon as possible to avoid this cruel death. Therefore, it is always interesting to keep some wooden equipment in your inventory, so it is still possible to defend yourself against enemies when the weather is in these conditions.

It's also possible to use your weapon's lightning attraction to your advantage during the journey, as this effect isn't exclusive to when it's only in Link's hands! Then, it is possible to throw them at the monsters that appear along the journey and surprise them with a strong discharge that, if you don't kill them first, will leave them paralyzed for a few seconds, time that the player can take advantage of to cause even more damage. more damage. 

Find your faithful companion on adventures 2c6u2a

An interesting detail that exists in Tears of the Kingdom lies in the fact that it is possible to import your horses from Breath of the Wild for your new adventure in Hyrule. So, if in the 2017 title you had a faithful companion on adventures, who helped you fight Calamity Ganon and overcome several other problems, the partnership between you two can continue!

Just go to one of the many stables spread across the map and talk to the attendants to rescue it. For them to appear available, it is necessary to have a save file of the BoTW No. Switch wherein ToTK is entered, otherwise this function will not be available. 

However, there is also the possibility of, on your own, taming a new wild horse in the game in an identical way to what already happened in Breath of the Wild. They are scattered around the map and it is possible to sneak up on each one or also through the skies and, after controlling them, it is necessary to ride with them to one of the stables so that a cell can be placed. In addition, some innovations were made with these traveling companions, such as the possibility of attaching harnesses to wagons and transporting people or objects to different locations on the map.

Visit the Stables! 3e1h43

A continuation of the previous tip, but the stables are also more interesting in this game of Nintendo Switch and therefore, it is worth highlighting a little time in your adventure to talk to everyone who is on it instead of just taking care of your horses. Many NPCs present in these establishments make comments about interesting things that happen around the map, where Link can get an idea of ​​what he should do or where to go if he is interested in new quests.

In addition, each of the stables has its own side quest, which adds even more content to the game! Finally, to reward the player's exploration, whenever he arrives at a new one, he is rewarded with tickets that can be exchanged for small prizes, such as new equipment for the horse or other benefits.

Explore the depths of Hyrule 2g23l

During the entire marketing campaign of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Nintendo made a point of highlighting the grandeur of the new islands that had been raised to the skies of Hyrule, but left aside the depths of the kingdom. However, what makes this region so special? First of all, because this map is as big as the surface one.

So in Tears of the Kingdom, you can dive through different chasms scattered throughout Hyrule and discover what is hidden just below the realm. However, don't think this is a smooth ride. The depths are full of dangers, such as monsters corrupted by Gloom, a substance that sucks the life where it es, in addition to other formidable enemies and also many traps hidden by its dark environment.

Fortunately, this region isn't all about dangers and challenges, as for the bravest of players, it's possible to find some amazing and nostalgic rewards, like classic Link outfits! That's right, you can dress your hero with the clothes he wore in previous games in the saga, like Ocarina of Time, Twilight princess e Skyward Sword.

It is worth ing that in Breath of the Wild, this was also possible, but only if the player was in possession of an amiibo, dolls released by the company itself. Nintendo able to communicate with the console and that gave access to these items. Fortunately, although it is also possible to use this mechanic in Tears of the Kingdom, the developer also made them available to be found at no additional cost.

Melt your weapons often 6m6p60

The problem with the durability of Link's weapons still lingers on. Tears of the Kingdom and combine this with a small inventory at the beginning of the game, which can lead the player to leave an item behind with each new battle. Thus, we have an obstacle that can bother a lot during the first hours of the journey – and even throughout the story.

So, another valuable tip is to make the most of the Fuse skill that Link gets right during the tutorial. Through it, it is possible to unite two different items into something completely new, in addition to the fact that when performing this action, the durability of the weapon or shield will be restored to its maximum, so that item that you liked a lot, will stay even longer by your side.

It's also important to that you don't just have to unite two weapons together, although it does give some interesting results – like a Sword that is also a Shield. Parts of monsters, mainly horns or teeth, work as a good complement to sticks or wooden sticks, which can have their damage increased by many levels thanks to this fusion. 

Therefore, it is important to take advantage of all the resources that the game offers you in Hyrule, a great improvement over the previous one, including where many items were “useless” for many players, especially for those who did not like to cook. 

What are the best weapon fusions in the game? 5i185x

Above, we explain how Tears of the Kingdom is a game that takes his crafting to a much better level than has been seen before in Breath of the Wild. However, for those who want access to the most powerful weapons and shields in the game, there are some useful combinations that deserve a mention for being among the best weapons in the game!

The first combination, despite not having great damage on the battlefield, has good versatility that makes it very useful for Link at any time in the game: a hammer, which can be produced by fusing a piece of wood with a stone. Through it, for example, the player can have access to several cave entrances hidden by stone ages and also easier to break deposits of valuable gems. 

Now, if your focus is on combat, at the beginning of the game, it's quite useful to fuse two bokobolin arms together. Despite being fragile, the two items combined will deal approximately 50 damage, which will make it easier for Link to defeat enemies more easily. However, after some time of gameplay, it will no longer make much of a difference in combat. 

So, at this point, don't forget to use the fuse skill to unite weapons with parts of black enemies that Link finds around the map. Generally, horns of bokobolins, lizalfos and other monsters with this coloration usually deal the highest amount of damage possible - which pays off, since they are also difficult to find. 

Some bosses, not those in temples, but those that can be found around the map at random times, also drop items that cannot be carried by Link into your inventory. Fortunately, it is possible to fuse them to some equipment and have a devastating weapon at hand.

Finally, when the character is powerful, look for Lynels, those silver-colored centaur-shaped creatures. Since the Silver Lynel Saber Horn is the most powerful fusion item in the game.

Best fusions for Tears of The Kingdom shields? 1b5vu

You must be tired of knowing that, by fusing Link's shield with a cart, it is possible to have a functional skateboard to have fun with. Fortunately, this is not the only combination available in the game and the others available are equally interesting, capable of both helping in combat and also facilitating the exploration of the map even more. 

The first, for example, is for some fans of Breath of the Wild who miss the ability granted by Revali, the Champion of Rites, which allowed Link to boost anywhere to gain altitude. Unfortunately, she didn't come back. Tears of the Kingdom, but you can reproduce this effect in several ways!

Just combine the shield used by Link with some zonai rocket, from those scattered around the map, to those that are stored in your inventory, to have a good jetpack in your arms. So, every time you put on the equipment to protect your body (with the ZL button), the character will be thrown into the air. 

The zonai devices, including, combine very well with Link's shields and always considering the fusion of the two items can be a good choice. The emitters, which have versions available in the elements of fire, ice, electricity and light beam, when coupled, allow it to be possible to damage enemies without the need to expose themselves to an attack, so, in some combats, this is quite a lot. useful!

Use the Muddle Bud 5g513b

Found in various corners of Hyrule, the Muddle Bud is an item that can be very useful in combat situations where Link is surrounded by enemy forces. Since this small mushroom, which can be attached to an arrowhead and thrown at monsters or also placed on the shield to be activated when receiving a hit, has a unique characteristic. 

When used, it generates a pink gas that confuses enemies, causing them to stop attacking Link and fight each other. So, instead of dying multiple times because you're struggling to deal with multiple enemies at the same time, consider using the Muddle Bud in these fights and just watch everything be resolved from afar, without having to lift a finger.

Skateboard around Hyrule 5q31x

Link's life doesn't just have to be about solving other people's problems, facing monsters and also saving the world in the process, take some of your time to let the legendary hero have fun and what better way to do that with skateboards?

It's not one of the character's most useful skills or talents, so much so that you'll probably discover it by "chance" as you push buttons and explore the map. However, there's nothing cooler than a blonde character sliding down steep slopes across the earth while using his skateboard shield. 

To do this maneuver, it is necessary for the player to position the shield in front of his body with ZL (the same button he uses to defend himself), then jump with Y and during the jump, press A. This will make Link give an air flip and start surfing around the map! It is important, however, that the skill is used on descents or in high places, so that the hero gains even more speed while having fun. 

Fortunately, thanks to the ability to merge the game's equipment, it is possible to make this experience even better, since by combining the shield with an object that has wheels, such as mine exploration carts, the feeling of speed when being above the skateboard , it will be even better. 

It is also important to point out that doing this uses up the durability of your shield, so choose to surf with the weakest equipment and be careful that it does not break while you are about to make a radical maneuver.

Don't forget to cook your food 282q4g

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is an electrifying game that combines adventure, exploration and strategy in a unique way. A key aspect of the game is the kitchen mechanic, in which players have the opportunity to produce a variety of dishes using ingredients found during their adventures. So, instead of eating them raw or raw, consider mixing them over a fire before consuming them.

The best of everything? As in any other aspect of the game, there is no right recipe to follow, just use your creativity and, most of the time, you will have a positive result.

So, due to the large amount of damage applied by enemies during fights and also the other ways that Link can be injured, cooking becomes crucial for survival, since the main function of the dishes is to restore the character's hearts. Thus, it is possible to continue with the adventures without running the risk of dying easily for not being able to defend or dodge enemy blows.

In addition to healing, cooking can also grant temporary stat bonuses. By combining specific ingredients as shown below, players can create meals that increase speed, strength, resistance to cold or heat, among other benefits. These bonuses can be extremely useful for tackling specific challenges, solving puzzles, and even improving combat effectiveness. Cooking therefore offers players a significant strategic advantage.

This mechanic also encourages us to interact more with the environment, explore each region, look for rare and specific ingredients in each part of the map, in addition to trying out different combinations. Many missions and challenges ed by the characters even unlock special recipes with often unique effects. So just like other elements of the game, it's a rewarding way that adds even more depth to the title.

Finally, there are some small easter eggs hidden for the most veteran players of the franchise, since while waiting for his dishes to be ready, Link hums the first notes of different remarkable songs from the most different games released for the universe of The Legend of Zelda!

How to resist the cold in Tears of The Kingdom? 404t3d

Many times during your journey through Hyrule, the cold will be one of your main enemies in Tears of the Kingdom. Either at the beginning, during the tutorial, or even while exploring some regions of Hyrule – such as the Hebra regions or the Gerudo desert at night, Link can lose a few hearts of life or even die for being in these conditions.

Fortunately, it is a problem that has several solutions. Since the first one is the easiest, use equipment that grants resistance to the cold – such as the Snowquill armor that can be bought at Rito Village, which consists of a tunic, boots and also a headdress. In all, for the three pieces, the player is required to shell out 2.150 rupees, which can be a bit pricey.

In the Great Sky Islands, the island of the game's tutorial, Link can find an Archaic Warm Greaves while exploring the snowy region of the map and, for the beginning, it offers a small protection against the cold that can be very useful. 

However, until you get your first gear that offers resistance to the cold, you need to go through snowy regions first, so you also need to know some recipes that facilitate this exploration.

The first and easiest, which you will find in large quantities as you explore the map, are the Spicy Peppers, combining five of them in the same recipe will give you 12 minutes and 30 seconds of protection against the cold. Other items that also contain this property are sizzlefin trout (Eldin Canyon and Hebra Mountains), sunshrooms (Eldin Canyon and Gerudo Highlands), or warm safflina (Eldin Canyon and Gerudo Desert) and they can be added to many recipes to provide this resistance.

Finally, some insects such as warm darner (Akkala Highlands or Faron Grasslands) and the summerwing butterfly (Eldin Canyon or Gerudo Highlands) can be combined with parts of monsters, which will give rise to elixirs capable of offering this protection to the player. The logic is the same as for food, the more ingredients with this characteristic you add to a recipe, the longer it will last in Link.

How to resist the heat in Tears of The Kingdom? h321h

Like the cold, the heat is another adversity that players will encounter during their journeys through Hyrule in Tears of the Kingdom, but in the same way, it is possible to find some simpler solutions that will help you resist high temperatures, mainly with food and elixirs. 

Another point worth considering as well is the fact that there is a difference between Heat Resistance and Fireproof in this game. So, for these two situations, special items and foods will be needed, so let's explain it better below.

The armor, known as Desert Voe Armor, which grants resistance to high temperatures, is a little more difficult to find all of its parts, since it is not possible to buy them at once like the Snowquill, only a part is found at first. , the Desert Voe Headband. The equipment costs 450 rupees and can be purchased from Saula, a merchant who is in the Kara Kara Baazar, a place that the player will probably find while walking to Gerudo Town in the middle of the desert.

Just the hair bow will already help Link to resist many of the adversities caused by the heat, while the other pieces, the player needs to enter the city of the Gerudos and gain access to the "Secret Store" of the locality, where he can purchase the Suaulder (1.300 rupees ) and Tros (650).  

Foods that offer this resistance can be produced with hydromelons (Gerudo Desert), chillshrooms (Gerudo Highlands and Hebra Mountains), chillfin trout (Hebra Mountains and Lanayru Great Spring) or cool safflina (Hebra Mountains or Tabantha Frontier). Normally, using 5 of these items in the same recipe results in 12 minutes and 30 seconds of bonus that protects Link from high temperatures. 

As for elixirs, it is possible to mix old darner (Gerudo Highlands and Mount Lanayru) or a winterwing butterfly (Gerudo Highlands or Mount Lanayru) with monster parts to get the same result.

Finally, the armors that make the hero Tears of the Kingdom immune to fire and prevent it from combusting when exploring the mountainous region of Eldin, home of the Gorons, can be found in their city: The Flamebreaker Armor is highly priced, costing the full 2.900 rupees, but only a single piece of it it will be enough for Link to venture without major risks.

Food will also not help the character in this situation, so it remains to resort to elixirs that must be made with fireproof lizard (Eldin Canyon and Eldin Mountains) or smotherwing butterfly (Eldin Canyon and Gerudo Highlands), insects that mixed with monster parts, will provide this Link resistance.

Heart or Stamina, which to improve first? t5t6w

As the player resolves the Shrines spread across the map and earns orbs, a doubt must permeate everyone's mind: what should be a priority for Link, more Hearts or Stamina? This is a pertinent question and, unfortunately, there is no definitive answer, as these are two fundamental resources for the game to work and their choice varies greatly from player to player.

However, this paragraph will contain a huge spoiler for the game's story, so if you have no idea what we're talking about and want to keep your expectations up to find out for yourself, we suggest moving on to the next tip. The Master Sword, Link's iconic sword throughout the entire The Legend of Zelda, can be acquired by pulling it from a dragon's head, but to do so requires two full circles of Stamina. 

So, it might be interesting to prioritize this attribute of Link in the first few hours of the game, as it will also be useful for exploring the map. Otherwise, the order of the two factors does not change the final product and you, the player, have complete freedom to decide your own path on this journey.

How to get money in Tears of The Kingdom? 4j563s

Among the events of Breath of the Wild e Tears of the Kingdom, it is also possible to notice that Hyrule suffered a little with inflation, as some items are more expensive in the new game of Nintendo Switch. Fortunately, to get around this, there are several new ways to get rupees, currencies used in the game, so that Link can have access to several new equipment.

The first one we recommend is to sell some of your items, mainly fruits, vegetables and meats. Despite considering that they are important for the production of recipes that will make Link recover his energy between combats, Hyrule is an abundant scenario of these resources, so, along your journey, you will find them even more than you need, so, it's important to consider selling some excesses!

Even many of these items, when cooked in one of the different bonfires that exist throughout the game world, can increase the value even more, which yields an extra profit for Link!

Another tip is to keep an eye on the caves, since unlike Breath of the Wild, they are more abundant in Tears of the Kingdom and all filled with deposits of gems that can be cracked and give players some valuable minerals, which can be resold later for rupees. 

Finally, there are several other minigames spread across the map that pay the player, so he can achieve a certain result. One of these, for example, is the Ultra Ball Haul Check-In, located below the Tabantha Great Bridge in the Tabantha region. Here, Link needs to use the scenery's resources to take a ball as far as possible. 

So, you can see that all of Hyrule contains several opportunities for the player to gain access to better financial resources and also access to new game items. Just keep an eye on everything, talk to the NPCs and also don't be a hoarder with the items stored in the inventory. 

Pay close attention to the scenery  1f2h72

so much in Breath of the Wild as Tears of the Kingdom, Nintendo decided not to take players by the hand and indicate exactly where he should go at all times, as in other open world games. Instead, the Japanese company chose to create a scenario that instills the curiosity of those in it and also left some small clues as to where things are hidden. 

For example, whenever you see a huge amount of birds circling in the same place, leave your usual route and go investigate, as they usually gather near places of interest to players, such as cave entrances or temples. The same tip goes for foxes, since when followed and not noticing Link's presence, they can guide him to some treasure.

So, it's worth keeping an eye on these details and many others that appear on the map - such as irregularly shaped mountains or stones in a circle, as there are high chances of being guided to something that can be useful on your journey. What you cannot do, however, is follow only one path without exploring the other possibilities that come out of your route. 

Make friends with the dogs 2j644w

Perhaps one of the biggest shortcomings of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, just like its predecessor, lies in the fact that in a game as complex and immersive as this one, Link is still not able to pet the dogs that are scattered across the map. Fortunately, the legendary swordsman is still able to feed them and this can be very useful!

The dogs can be found at different points on the map, but they are mainly in stables and when they like Link, they guide him to some hidden treasure nearby. To do this, just take some item from your inventory that restores life (recognized by means of a heart icon), such as meat – after all, they deserve it – and put it on the ground near where they are. 

After that, if there are any items hidden in the region, the small furry animal will take you there, otherwise, it will just follow Link for a few seconds as a way of showing its gratitude. 

Enjoy the game's open world 4z5o47

The game has a gigantic open world, full of secrets, challenges and surprises. And that's precisely where the main tip is to make the most of this masterpiece: explore the open world without fear!

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom it's not a linear game, which guides you along a predefined path. You have complete freedom to choose where to go, what to do and how to solve the problems you encounter along the way. The title favors creative thinking, which allows you to use available resources in unusual and fun ways. For example, the same challenge may have four to solutions, one more unusual than the other, so try to consider the possibilities more broadly.

Furthermore, exploring the open world also rewards you with valuable items such as weapons, armour, ingredients and treasures. Just as, when entering a cave you didn't expect, you can reach some sanctuary that you couldn't see from the heights and be rewarded for it.

So, don't be in a hurry to follow the main story of the game or a path already defined from the beginning. The new game of Nintendo takes many open world concepts to completely new levels. So, enjoying each of these unique moments on your journey makes the experience even more interesting, so don't be afraid to explore Hyrule with curiosity as well as creativity. 

You'll be amazed at what you'll discover and the fun you'll have. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is a game that invites you to be free and create your own legend. Don't miss this opportunity and also tell us all about your journeys in this amazing open world by commenting!
