Link can manipulate fire, move water from different tanks or stop time, which comes in handy both during combat and puzzles.Another recurring element are extensive exploration methods. From now on, Link can not only climb, move on horseback or glide with a paraglider, but also use new means of transportation - vehicles resembling cars or drones. The latter is especially useful during aerial exploration, as The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom features levitating islands to explore. Link can now also use rails to move between different locations in no time.
