This video by Alex provides a detailed guide on "Tears of the Kingdom", a game filled with hidden death and sandbox elements. The video covers various tactics for combat traversal and other useful tips for beginners.
Alex starts by explaining how to use the Ultra Hand ability and recall to create custom elevators and moving platforms. This involves controlling objects with Ultra Hand, moving them along a desired path, and then recalling them to create a custom route.
Next, he discusses using a simple tree log to create a basic bridge and extend its reach with a technique that involves rotating a long platform around 180 degrees. This allows for traversing large gaps with fewer objects.
Alex also talks about Shield Surfing, using metal rails and mine cart tracks, and various Fusion combinations, such as fusing a cart to your Shield for better Shield surfing, slapping a rocket onto your shield for an air blast, and fusing mushrooms onto weapons for a knockback effect.
He also covers creating custom trap mechanisms using basic materials and Ultra Hand, and using Wing devices for flight.
Lastly, he mentions finding golden apples for a defense buff, using flame emitters as a flame thrower, and tips for dealing with bloopy creatures that spill out rupees when damaged.
