What to know before you play the Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom!
WEBWIRE – Wednesday, May 17, 2023
The wait is overthe Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom game is finally here! Theres a lot to discover, and we want you to put your best boot forward when you set out in Hyrule.
Lets start with a few important tips before you start playing. But dont worry, well stay away from any spoilers. Think of this article as a way to help get in the right mindset before playing.
Oh! And well be bringing you more tips articles in the coming weeks, so be sure to keep an eye on the news feed.
Tip 1: Unlearn what youve learned
Yeah, this may sound like something youd be told from a martial arts master, but hear us out. Whether youve played hundreds of hours of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild or are brand new to the series, your experience level doesnt really matter when it comes to this game.
While things youve done in previous games may still work, you have a wide variety of options in this sequel. Sure, you can still fight enemies with a stick or you can fuse a boulder to your stick and jump on springboards to bonk enemies on the head. Sure, you can climb your way out of a hole or you can use the Ascend ability to travel through the ceiling and get where you need to go.
Tip 2: Try everything
This game encourages you to try new things throughout. From traveling around Hyrule to solving puzzles, there are multiple ways to overcome problems you run into. The joy comes from trying out crazy ideas that end up working.
Oh, and if something isnt working out the way you want, take a moment and try something else. Some players find joy in attempting a difficult jump over and over. Others would rather build a bridge. Experimentation is the heart of this gameeven if a situation doesnt go as expected, you may stumble upon something that will help you later.
Tip 3: Get some perspective
When you enter a new area, find a tall vantage point and scope out your surroundings. Youll find all sorts of stuffenemies, chests, materials, objects or terrain that will help in fights, and more. Believe us, it will be easier to do this before enemies spot you. Speaking of
Tip 4: Prepare for fights beforehand
Look, you dont have to do thiswere (sometimes) fond of charging into the middle of things while screaming and wildly waving our arms too. But if you want to use the Fuse ability to make strong weapons or Ultrahand to build a makeshift missile turret, you may want to do that before Bokoblins are trying to smack you around. A little prep time can go a long way.
Tip 5: Use your words
This wont work on enemies (at least the ones weve tried) but try talking to the more peaceful characters out there! In particular, characters called Constructs may give you helpful tips about the area.
Tip 6: Play it your way
OK, this is probably the most important tip. Sure, Link is the character in the game, but remember that you are the hero here. You are saving Hyrule. And you can do it how you want to! Play around with everything you get your hands on, because theres room for massive creativity (and shenanigans) in this game.
With that said, dont worry about not being creative enough. Everyone is creative on some level, and a part of creativity is giving yourself permission to try new things. We all play in different waysmessy ways, elaborate ways, unexpected ways, and silly ways that have no purpose other than to see what happens. Dont worry about playing the game the right way because its up to you how you want to approach obstacles. If something works in the end, its a success. If it doesnt, did you at least get a chuckle out of it?
Tip 7: Share the knowledge
And finally, creativity comes alive when you share what you know and get inspired by others. Talk to your friends to see what theyve tried. Maybe find out what other people have done. You may be surprised what ends up inspiring you!
Alrighty, thats all for now. Be on the lookout for our next tips article which will cover the four new abilitiesFuse, Ultrahand, Ascend, and Recall. You can also buy the game using the link below.
Have fun out there!

Recently, Zhongke Guosheng (Hangzhou) Technology Co., Ltd (hereinafter referred to as “GS Biotech”) officially announced the completion of its nearly CNY100 million pre-A round financing, led by Legend Capital. The proceeds will be mainly used for the capacity expansion of core pipeline products 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) and 2,5-tetrahydrofuran dimethanol (THFDM), and the continuous development of downstream derivatives. According to Dr. John Zhang, CEO of GS Biotech, the company has taken the development model of promoting the “two-wheel drive” of the dual track as an important strategic direction. On the one hand, the company has completely solved the problems of HMF cost and raw material sources; its original HMF continuous production process, which completed the verification of multi-dimensional cost reduction measures, has greatly reduced the production cost and effectively improved the efficiency, and it is expected that the production cost of HMF will be controlled within RMB10,000 per ton in the future three years from the extraction of non-grain raw material sources to the iterative path of the production process and to the planning of expanding production capacity. Meanwhile, the company has also reserved more than 20 kinds of high-value-added monomers and is simultaneously promoting the verification of the application of each monomer in the terminal market. Moreover, GS Biotech established a joint venture, Xinshengtai Materials, with an AI-powered drug R&D unicorn company XtalPi Inc to focus on using AI technology to accelerate the reverse design of derivatives and improve the development efficiency of downstream derivatives to further accelerate its high-efficiency and accurate market development process. On the other hand, the company has also made significant progress in the design, R&D and industrialization of degradable new materials. The new biodegradable plastic PEOX, another important pipeline of the company, has completed the 150L pilot scale experiment and obtained market terminal verification. The performance indicators of PEOX can be compared with PGA and the price of the terminal product will be approximately RMB10,000/ton after the large-scale production. With the special performance of the product and the support of policies, many leading enterprises in the industry are negotiating with the company to sign an underwriting agreement to apply PEOX in the field of disposable packagings such as agricultural mulch, plastic bags, straws, and lunch boxes. Legend Capital said: “Under the background of China’s strategy in carbon peaking and carbon neutrality and the pursuit of sustainable energy development, petroleum-based chemical materials will gradually be replaced by bio-based materials, which are produced from sustainable resources. HMF is an important bio-based platform compound with great potential for downstream derivatives. GS Biotech has pioneered the HMF continuous production process globally and realized the large-scale and low-cost production of HMF. It has opened the entire industry chain from upstream core monomers to terminal applications and innovatively introduced AI and high-throughput machine synthesis technology into the development of downstream derivative products. The core team of GS Biotech graduated from the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. With nearly 20 years of research foundation and industrialization experience in the field of biomass catalytic conversion, GS Biotech has shown strong capabilities in continuous R&D, production management, and resource integration. Legend Capital has long focused on technology investments linked to carbon peaking and carbon neutrality, and we look forward to working with GS Biotech to promote technological change in the field of bio-based materials.” As an interdisciplinary subject of information science, life science and material science, synthetic biology and bio-based materials have always been the direction that Legend Capital has paid close attention to in the field of carbon-neutral technology investment. Legend Capital’s investments in the carbon-neutral field focus on energy decarbonization, vehicle electrification/intelligence, synthetic biology, etc. Energy decarbonization includes photovoltaic, wind power, and smart grid; vehicle electrification/intelligence includes lithium battery vehicles, hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, battery recycling and others; in the field of synthetic biology and bio-based materials, Legend Capital has invested in many outstanding companies such as Giant Biogene (02367.HK), GS Biotech, Huili Biotech, and Tidetron Bioworks Technology.
