6 Combat Recall Uses In Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom
Even though Recall doesn’t seem to have a purpose in combat, players can use it in surprising ways to their benefit.
In The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Link has four new powers that give players a lot of freedom in the kingdom of Hyrule. Most likely, players will use Ultrahand and Fuse more often, since Recall and Ascend are usually only used in certain situations that require quick movement and solving Shrine tasks. But both of them can be used in battle, especially Recall.
In The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, enemies will throw anything at Link, whether it’s a weapon, their own charge attack, or something else like a Bomb Barrels. Link can turn back time with the Recall ability. This means that he can throw back things that enemies throw at him as well as things in the environment that may not have anything to do with the fight at hand. There are surprising ways to use Recall in battle, some of which players may not have thought of before.
Reverse Large Objects
When you get close to an enemy fortress, they might have blocked the main door with something like a large Spiked Ball, Boulder, or Snowball. This is the case at the Hyrule Field Skyview Tower, where players have to sneak into a camp of Bokoblins at its base.
As Link climbs the hill to the fort, the Bokoblins will throw a big Spike Ball at him. Link can use their tool against them by using the Recall ability on the object at the last possible moment. It will try to get away from the Spiked Ball or hurt any Bokoblins that are still in its way.
Throw Back Projectiles
Enemy camps usually have a few Bomb Barrels, and if Link is sneaky enough. He can use a fire shot to set them off before the enemies can attack. But the Recall skill lets players try out a different way of fighting. By making himself known, Link’s enemies will throw anything they can at him, even Bomb Barrels. Then, all players have to do is watch the path and set Recall on it. The barrel will go back to the enemy who threw it and blow up when it hits.
Link can also use the Recall skill to throw Boulders back in the same way. This is helpful when fighting Horriblins. They will often dig at the roof of the cave they are hanging from and throw rocks at Link. But if players use Recall, it will hit the Horriblins, making them fall. When they hit the ground, they are often stunned, giving players a chance to attack.
Reverse Yiga Clan Vehicles
Link meets the Yiga Clan for the first time during the main quest “A Mystery in the Depths,” where he gets the Autobuild skill. After fighting Master Kohga in the Depths, players will start the “Master Kohga of the Yiga Clan” side quest, which has them following the leader of the Yiga Clan through the Depths in multiple vehicle-based fights. Whether the action takes place on land, in the air, or on the water determines which cars are used. The camps that the Yiga Clan has set up around the Depths will also have cars.
Link can’t use Recall on these cars while they’re being driven. But if the person in charge is killed or pushed off. He can use this to his advantage and turn the contraption away from them. Then, players can take the car for themselves and gain an advantage over the Yiga Clan.
Recall Thrown Weapons
Boomerangs aren’t the most popular tool to use against enemies. But if you know how to catch one after you throw it, you can use it to keep attacking enemies from a distance. But in Tears of the Kingdom, the Recall ability can be used on weapons that are thrown. So players can make their own boomerangs that are probably much stronger.
If Link throws a spear with a lot of toughness at an enemy. He can use the Recall command to make the spear float next to him so that players can pick it up. Players can fight from a distance by doing this over and over until the tool breaks. Or, if they don’t hit the first time, they can use it to try again.
Make A Quick Getaway
In Tears of the Kingdom, there are three main ways to get to the Sky Islands. Skyview Towers, which are all over Hyrule, are the main way to get there. After that, you can use Shrines as fast travel points and use Recall on pieces of the islands that have dropped as an elevator. These parts of Sky Island fall at random, but if one lands on the battlefield during a tough fight. Link can glide away from the fight or get some airtime to shoot arrows.
But players don’t have to use pieces of Sky Islands that have fallen to the ground for this trick. They can also make their own platforms by using Ultrahand to move a nearby piece of wood or stone up and down, hopping on it, and then using Recall to go up.
Recharge Vehicles
Early on in 8 Ball Pool game, it can be hard to upgrade the Energy Cell, but there are other ways to recharge batteries to make Zonai Devices and cars last longer. Link, for example, can use Zonai Charges that Soldier Constructs drop to make Energy Cells last longer. A Large Zonai Charge gives an even bigger boost. Players can use the Recall skill instead if they don’t want to waste their Zonai Charges.
When Link uses Recall on a car he is driving, the delay gives the battery time to recharge. Because the vehicle is no longer using power. This can help when fighting enemies like the Moragia during the “Yunobo of Goron City” major quest while using a vehicle with a lot of weapons or flying a machine with a lot of weapons.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is now available on Nintendo Switch.
