Following the arrival of the awaited game, a lot of players have already begun to learn almost the entire tricks and skills needed to master the sequel on their handheld devices. Then, there are those who never miss an opportunity to share what they learn. One such Nintendo player is YouTuber Alex from BoomStick Gaming channel.
Recently, he revealed a very helpful guide on Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom in order to show other players how to experience it in the best way possible. In other words, he talked about some vital tips every Nintendo player should know from the start in order to beat the challenges in TOTK.
To begin with, Alex mentioned that players need to create moving platforms using Link’s Ultrahand ability. This power comes in handy in numerous situations. Especially when one needs to reach a place by crossing the large gaps in between. But one can utilize this technique in a better way to not stick too many things together for creating the platforms.
The next pro tip is to grind while Shield surfing. The metal rails and mine cart tracks can be ground on while Shield surfing. Moreover, players can even speed up or slow down and transfer to their left or right. However, this method won’t work if they have got something chunky on the shield.

Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom players can also use various fusion combinations. For example, they can build their own Hylian skateboard by fusing a cart to the shield. This will enable them to use shield surfing in a better way, especially on rough terrain. Similarly, a rocket can be fused on the shield in order to blast up into the air.
