At the start of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, your arm is torn off by an ancient evil and replaced with a gauntlet. It’s not a bad trade, considering your new arm lets you fuse objects together to create jury-rigged vehicles, reverse time, and even swim through solid rock, like a salmon up a waterfall. No, not a bad trade at all.
It’s a good thing, too, because every temple you find across the land of Hyrule, most of its shrines, and many of the tasks handed out by The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom’s characters require you to use your newfound superpowers to solve puzzles. In one shrine, for instance, you must fuse wheels and metal plates to make a car stable enough and large enough to drive through a lava flow without the magma touching Link, Hyrule’s hero.
