How to Fuse Weapons

Once you've gained the Fuse ability from one of the introductory shrines on the , you can start fusing any weapon or shield with materials you see in the overworld. The possibilities are endless, from putting spikes on your shield to attaching a rock to your sword—you can fuse just about anything.

• When the Fuse ability highlights a material, aim at it, then press either Y to fuse it with your weapon or ZL for your shield.

However, you might not be pleased with some of the fusion equipment you've created, but you want to keep the original weapon you used. The solution is simple, but it does come with a catch.

Though this method will let you remove fused weapons by destroying the material, there is an NPC that will help you disassemble them without wasting the attached resource.

How to Save the Fused Material - Find Pelison

In the early game, you're limited to removing fused materials from weapons and shields using the first method. Still, as you progress through the main storyline, you'll encounter Pelison, a unique NPC in the heart of the Akkala Highlands.

At his Break-a-Part Shop in Tarrey Town, you can pay Pelison 20 Rupees to break down the fused weapon, and you'll get to keep the material you used as well. To grab the two items, look to his left in the collection area and pick up your stuff as usual.

• Keep in mind that if you're detaching a Zonai Device from your weapon, you'll still be unable to put them back into its capsule form.
