Tears of the Kingdom's Fuse ability turns the game into Tony Hawk's Pro Skater

Shield surfing returns in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, but with Link’s new powers, he’s turned into a full on skater boy.

It seems that there’s a limitless number of activities to do in this updated version of Breath of the Wild’s Hyrule. Whether it’s making a whole bunch of wacky and wonderful creations (and some rather obscene ones), or just simply proving that there isn’t a “right” way to play the game. But the hottest trend taking over the hills of Hyrule? Skateboarding. In the first game, you could do a cool flip to get Link on his shield to surf down mountains, snowy slopes, or sandy dunes. But now, players are using Link’s Fuse ability to make flat out skateboards.

The thing about Tears of the Kingdom, is that if an object can be interacted with through Link’s Ultrahand ability, you can also do so with any of his other abilities, including Fuse. So that means you can do things like sticking a rock on the end of your sword, or firing off an arrow with a mushroom on its tip. It also means that you can attach a mine- or regular cart to your shield, which players have quickly found is the sickest way to get around Hyrule.
