- Awaken and Adapt: Begin in the tutorial sky island area, learning the new abilities. This zone expertly teaches the core mechanics.
- Explore the Surface, Sky, and Depths: The world is open. Decide where to go next, activate Skyview Towers to map regions, and dive into chasms to explore the ominous Depths. The Depths are dark and dangerous but hold unique resources and challenges.
- Solve Puzzles with Creativity: Many puzzles have multiple solutions. Use Ultrahand to build, Fuse to combine, Ascend for vertical shortcuts, and Recall to manipulate time. There’s no single “correct” answer, encouraging player ingenuity.
- Combat & Resourcefulness: Engage a wider variety of enemies, including new Constructs and Gloom-infected foes. Combat is dynamic; use Fuse to create powerful weapons (e.g., a stick with a boulder fused for a hammer), or use environmental elements.
- Hunting, Gathering, and Cooking: Collect ingredients from all three layers of Hyrule to cook meals and elixirs. New ingredients and recipes are available, offering powerful buffs for combat and exploration (e.g., Gloom-healing dishes).
- Character Progression: Exchange Lights of Blessing for health or stamina. Find Korok Seeds to expand your weapon, shield, and bow inventory slots with Hestu. Collect armor sets that offer unique resistances or abilities.
- Side Quests and Adventures: Engage with a multitude of side quests and “Side Adventures” given by NPCs, which often lead to unique rewards, explore compelling mini-narratives, and reveal more about the transformed Hyrule.
