However, the potential for incredible and unpredictable emergent events using just the new abilities showcased has us excited to dive into this &#8220;unfamiliar&#8221; Hyrule, as Aonuma called it. It looks like there are some enormously powerful toys in this box, and personally we cannot wait to try fusing our Master Sword with a stick \u2014 and maybe <em>another<\/em> stick? \u2014 to make a Maaaster Sword. How about 50 bombs on an arrow with a Keese Eye jammed on the top and firing it in the general direction of Calamity Ganon? Okay, so there&#8217;s a question mark over your ability to fuse multiple items at the moment, but <em>ooo, the possibilities&#8230;<\/em><\/p>\n<aside class=\"gallery\">\n<div class=\"cols\">\n<div class=\"col\"><a title=\"How about fusing a moblin and... a horse?\" class=\"scanlines\" href=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/18171ae9d9a99\/how-about-fusing-a-moblin-and-a-horse.large.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCA0NDUgMjUwIj48L3N2Zz4=\" width=\"445\" height=\"250\" data-original=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/18171ae9d9a99\/how-about-fusing-a-moblin-and-a-horse.445x.jpg\" alt=\"How about fusing a moblin and... a horse?\"><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"col\"><a title=\"How about fusing a moblin and... a horse?\" class=\"scanlines scanlines\" href=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/8418f1b3919cb\/how-about-fusing-a-moblin-and-a-horse.large.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCA0NDUgMjUwIj48L3N2Zz4=\" width=\"445\" height=\"250\" data-original=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/8418f1b3919cb\/how-about-fusing-a-moblin-and-a-horse.445x.jpg\" alt=\"How about fusing a moblin and... a horse?\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"caption\">How about fusing a moblin and&#8230; a horse? \u2014 <em class=\"credit\">Images: Nintendo<\/em><\/figcaption><\/aside>\n<p>So while we understand how this understated little gameplay trailer might not get the pulse racing like a cutscene-filled 90 seconds with growly voice acting and slow-motion clips of falling swords, gnarly hands, and LORE, we&#8217;re still jazzed at the sandbox potential of Link&#8217;s new toys.<\/p>\n<p>But what are your thoughts?
