You can find them all below. <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The Travel Medallion returns from Breath of the Wild\u2019s DLC, and serves exactly the same purpose. This customisable fast travel warp point means Link can return to sky islands with ease<\/li>\n<li>Link makes exciting new creations by using the Ultrahand ability and items known as Zonai parts. A fun new gacha-like sphere drops new parts when Link brings it a Zonai charge which the new enemy known as Zonai constructs drop when killed<\/li>\n<li>Footage reveals that those blue vials at Link\u2019s hip are to be charged for a battery meter, which powers your Zonai creations. We don\u2019t know how to increase this battery charge yet, but footage reveals Link with different amounts, so he must gain more somehow<\/li>\n<li>There\u2019s a second map now with the addition of the sky map. This new addition helps Link chart the land high above Hyrule, and keep track of the many different sky islands. Though we\u2019re not sure how we reveal the map just yet, or if it\u2019s like the Shiekah Tower mechanic from the original Breath of the Wild<\/li>\n<li>When Link picks up a weapon with a full inventory, you\u2019re now given the option to drop a weapon immediately. In Breath of the Wild the game forces you to go back into your inventory before opening the chest again, so this is a huge timesaver<\/li>\n<li>We now have a recipe book, so Link remembers meals he cooks, and presumably can cook them again if he has the ingredients. Another simple change that saves a lot of time<\/li>\n<li>You can now throw any item, much like tossing weapons in Breath of the Wild. Alongside the elemental items such as the various chu chu jellies, this means Link can unleash an attack without wasting any weapons<\/li>\n<li>The new Ascend feature not only allows Link to travel through solid objects from below and peer out into the world above, but it also freezes time. This means if Link uses ascend in a cave, but uncovers an enemy camp high up above, you can choose to quickly dip back down and save your skin<\/li>\n<li>Link\u2019s new abilities such as Fuse and Ultrahand are selectable with a radial dial, much like choosing weapons in Skyward Sword. This is much easier than the menu from Breath of the Wild, plus, footage reveals at least two additional slots for abilities, so there is more to discover in the full game<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Alright, folks, that\u2019s all we have on the Zelda Tears of the Kingdom previews for now.
