The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

Highlights

The Power Bracelet is a classic item missing in Tears of the Kingdom that could've given Link more flexibility in lifting heavy objects.
Pegasus Boots, known for allowing Link to dash around, were another classic item that should've been available in the game.
An Ocarina, a classic Legend of Zelda item, was also missing in Tears of the Kingdom and could've been used for special occasions.

The Legend of Zelda is one of the most well-known video game franchises of all time (and ranks up there with the Mario games as the best from Nintendo). With such a beloved franchise, players have been following the series since its first release in 1986.

Over the decades, the game franchise has had classic items that have appeared in the games time and time again. Unfortunately, some of those items were missing in Tears of the Kingdom. Here's a list of some of the best classic items that should've been available in the game via the fusion feature.

Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Player Builds Mechanical Horse

In a display of creativity, a player in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom constructs a remarkable mechanical horse within the game's world.

5 Power Bracelet

Diamond & Lynel Horn

Games it appeared in:

The Legend of Zelda
Link's Awakening
Oracle of Seasons
Oracle of Ages
The Wind Waker
Four Swords Adventures
The Minish Cap

The Power Bracelet has been in seven main games in the franchise, making it one that a lot of players have experienced at one point or another. This item is made to help Link lift and move around extremely heavy items. While the Fusion Ability lets Link move things around, the Power Bracelet could've given him more flexibility. Imagine traveling around Hyrule, moving some of the larger rocks and things that Fusion just doesn't pick up.

For how to create the Power Bracelet in the game, Link could've had a few different options. For example, using one of the many gemstones around the game (this goes with the diamond just because it is the hardest one to find) would give players the bracelet aspect of it. Then, using something like the Lynel's Horn (since it is one of the strongest enemies in the game), the Power Bracelet could've been made.

4 Pegasus Boots

Keese Wing & Any Pair Of Boots

Games it appeared in:

A Link to the Past
Link's Awakening
Four Swords
Four Swords Adventures
The Minish Cap
Phantom Hourglass
A Link Between Worlds

The Pegasus Boots is an item that younger fans of the series may recognize, as well as those who played the game during its classic era. These boots are given to Link in various games so that he can dash around the game. This allows him to run up slippery surfaces, dashing into objects, and running much faster than he normally would. Imagine using these instead of needing the Sticky Elixir or Frog Suit to climb up slippery surfaces. Additionally, running faster would've been great, especially since players sometimes didn't have the means to make Zonai Vehicles.

Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Player Builds Tank Inspired by Classic Halo Vehicle

A Zelda fan has gone from Halo to Hyrule, creating their very own tank in Tears of the Kingdom inspired by a classic Halo vehicle.

When looking at how to create these boots, there are a few options. For example, the wings of different monsters can be used for various things to fly longer, so using Keese Wings could help Link run much faster than he originally would. Then, Fusing those with one of the many boots that Link can find around the game world would allow him to create these boots to use. Since some items will show back up in shops after purchasing them, using those boots wouldn't let Link miss out on anything.

3 An Ocarina

Wood & A Cricket

Games it appeared in:

A Link to the Past
Link's Awakening
Ocarina of Time
Majora's Mask

When someone mentions an ocarina, most people who know the game series think of Ocarina of Time. However, ocarinas have actually been in the game series for longer than that. Originally, the instrument appeared in A Link to the Past. Similarly to the well-known Ocarina of Time, these ocarinas would allow Link to play them for special occasions, such as getting help or teleporting. With the later games, the player actually got to play the ocarina and play different songs that have since become classics. While the Purah Pad is cool, using an ocarina to travel would've been pretty cool too.

When looking at how to Fuse this item, it was a little difficult. Usually, they are made from types of ceramics. However, they can also be created out of wood. So, wood would be a great item to use in order to create an ocarina. Then, using something such as a cricket could help with making noise with the instrument. Overall, this could be an interesting Fusion that would not only help Link in a myriad of ways but it could also allow players who never got to use an ocarina to see how amazing they were back in the day.

2 Iron Boots

Flint & Any Pair Of Boots

Games it appeared in:

Ocarina of Time
The Wind Waker
Twilight Princess

The Iron Boots were an interesting concept throughout the games they were found in. They could be used to weigh down switches, walk underwater, keep Link's footing in strong winds, and even stick to magnetic surfaces. While the Zora Armor helps Link in the water, imagine being able to put these boots on and explore Hyrule below the waves. That could've been so much fun, seeing the game from a different angle. They could've also been super helpful in some of the Zonai Shrines that litter the world.

Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Player Builds Incredible Mechanical Dragon

A creative The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom player builds an amazing mechanical dragon that can fly and breathe fire.

The Fusion recipe for these could have been such a simple one, too. Since the game has some pretty hard materials (such as the Flint, Luminous Stone, etc.), using one of those would give the boots iron-like abilities (since iron isn't really in the game). Then, using any boot would allow Link to make these amazing boots. As mentioned with the Pegasus Boots, there are some boots that will replenish in shops, ensuring that Link wouldn't miss out on any if he Fused them.

1 A Hookshot

Lynel Mace Horn & Cane Sugar

Games it appeared in:

A Link to the Past
Link's Awakening
Ocarina of Time
Majora's Mask
The Wind Waker
A Link Between Worlds

The Hookshot is such an amazing classic item that a ton of players enjoyed using. No matter what game players are playing, the Hookshot was used to help Link reach faraway places with ease. Imagine going around Hyrule and being able to reach higher areas just by pulling out a Hookshot. Better yet, imagine being able to reach various Sky Islands just by pulling out the Hookshot and using it to reach wherever.

When looking at how to Fuse this item, the Fusion recipe mentioned here seems a little strange at first; however, it could definitely work. The Lynel Mace Horn looks like something that could easily attach itself to areas, making it the perfect item to throw in order to hook it around something. Then, cane sugar could make the rope since ropes can be made out of fibers from different things like cane sugar or reeds. This would let Link throw the hook (Lynel Mace Horn) and use the rope (cane sugar) to reach those areas.
