How to Use Fuse in Tears of the Kingdom¶

Fuse is one of the abilities that you learn on the Great Sky Island, which is pretty much the prologue of the game. Whenever you have a weapon or shield equipped, find an item on the ground and select the Fuse ability. Note that you can also go into your inventory, select to Hold an item, then drop it on the ground. With the item on the ground, press the designated button to either fuse it with your equipped weapon or shield. Depending on the item used, it might change your weapon’s look, or even give it different properties. The item used will also give the weapon and/or shield more power, with the item having a power rating on it.
