You will find a list of

How to Use Fuse in Tears of the Kingdom

Fuse is one of the abilities that you learn on the Great Sky Island, which is pretty much the prologue of the game. Whenever you have a weapon or shield equipped, find an item on the ground and select the Fuse ability. Note that you can also go into your inventory, select to Hold an item, then drop it on the ground. With the item on the ground, press the designated button to either fuse it with your equipped weapon or shield. Depending on the item used, it might change your weapon’s look, or even give it different properties. The item used will also give the weapon and/or shield more power, with the item having a power rating on it.

Best Fusions for Weapons in Tears of the Kingdom

When you first learn about fusion, you’re not going to be getting a lot of choices, in terms of items, so you’re stuck with like rocks and other basic weapons.

Item Notes
"Bokoblin Arm" iconBokoblin Arm Drops from "Stalkoblin" iconStalkoblins; High attack power, although it’s brittle
"Moblin Arm" iconMoblin Arm Drops from "Stalmoblin" iconStalmoblins; Same as above
Spike Balls Found in "Bokoblin" iconBokoblin camps; Great for clearing breakable rock walls
Rocks Attach to something like a Sturdy Stick for breaking rock walls
"Lynel" iconLynel Saber Horns One of the best fusion items for weapons; Silver Saber Horns have some of the highest attack power
"Molduga Jaw" iconMolduga Jaws Similar to the Saber Horns above

Gleeok Parts Elemental properties, and they don’t run out of juice, like other elemental monster parts
