Repairing weapons in Breath of the Wild was a bit of sore spot for many folks as it was something Link was unable to do. With Nintendo’s latest follow-up, many fans may be wondering how to repair weapons in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Well, you’re in the perfect place as we’ll answer that very question down below. Let’s go!
How to Fix Your Weapons in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
Unfortunately, much like its 2017 predecessor, you can’t fix your weapons in the traditional sense. Instead, you’ll be able to fuse weapons together with other materials, which will help prolong their life and add various effects to them. In essence, you’ll be able to create more powerful versions of your weapons by combining them with, say, wood or rocks, for instance.
How to Fuse Weapons in Tears of the Kingdom
To fuse weapons in Tears of the Kingdom, you’ll need to first obtain the Fuse ability. This is the second ability that you unlock during your adventure. Essentially, you’ll acquire this ability after you’ve explored the Ukouh Shrine within the Great Sky Island. More specifically, you’ll unlock the Fuse ability in the In-Isa Shrine, which is fortunately very early on during your journey.
Once you have the Fuse ability, hold the L button to bring up your radial menu. From here, toggle down to ‘Fuse’ and select it. You’ll then be able to choose which weapons, shields, or materials that you want to fuse together.
Interestingly, fusing two of the same weapons stacks them on top of each other. Meanwhile, fusing a weapon with a monster part creates an entirely new item to wield. In short, it’s a very creative and flexible way of producing new armaments to brandish.
Secret Way to Repair Weapons in Tears of the Kingdom
Having said all of the above, there is in fact a secret way to repair your weapons in the game, which has just come to light. Specifically, if you feed an Octorok your weapon in Tears of the Kingdom, it’ll spit out said weapon, though it’ll be fully repaired. Plus, it’ll also have a new stat boost to boot. Pretty cool, huh? (Big thanks to Twitter user, Tristan Cooper, for the find!)
