*** Few Zonai devices are as universally useful as the Fan. While it’s hardly the only propulsion device in the game, the Fan is the most reliable. Even when not attached to anything, Link can use one to create an updraft, not as powerful as Rivaldi’s Gale, but it does the job.

*** There is little doubt, however, that the most useful Zonai device in the game is the Steering Stick. Whether you want to build a go-cart, flying machine, tank, motorboat, or Humongous Mecha, not being able to control where it goes is a serious liability unless you add one of these. It is literally a game changer.

*** The Hoverbike is one of the simplest and one of the most useful Ultrahand creations. Just take a Steering Stick, attach a fan at a 40 degree angle in the front and another at degrees behind it.

**** On the same note, at least one player has figured out that the best device used to defeat a Gleeox [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3M9MZH4JFjo&t=1s is made from two rectangular slabs and a square one.]

*** In the depths, you often find ghostly soldiers who give Link weapons, which are, unlike the ones on the surface, untouched by the corroded effect of the Gloom. At first glance, this seems only a slight boon, as a new Traveler’s Sword is only slightly better than a corroded one. However, it is definitely worth taking their offerings, even if it is only to throw it away immediately afterwards, because if you take a weapon from one of the ghost soldiers and then break its corroded equivalent, that same ghost soldier might have a better weapon later. For instance, say you are given a weapon from a ghost soldier who gives one-handed swords. Initially, this can be a Traveler’s Sword, Knight’s broadsword, Royal Broadsword, or (rarely) Royal Guard Broadsword, and currently has a Royal Broadsword. If you take it, and then find a corroded Royal Broadsword Sword on the surface and use that one until it breaks, the ghost soldier you got the non-corroded Royal Broadsword from will eventually spawn with a Feathered Edge, a pristine weapon that is much better than the others.

*** Rocks. You can’t get simpler than that. Using the Fuse ability, Link can fuse simple rocks to his weapons. Using a small rock (the ones he can lift) turns a weapon into a sledgehammer that can crush ore veins, a boulder turns it into a deadly bludgeon, and those large blocks falling from the sky are stronger still. But the most awesome way to use this sort of weapon is to Fuse it to a two-handed weapon like a club or claymore, as Link’s two-handed charge attack is a spinning fury with his weapon that a boulder on the business end can turn into a wrecking ball that can batter down a group of Moblins.

*** Tulin. Few online guides will recommend going to any Temple first other than the Wind Temple and with good reason. Of all the sages, Tulin is the most useful for exploration and combat with his simple ability to create a gust of wind with his wings.

*** Dazzle Fruit. While the stun effect only lasts a few seconds and does no damage, it works on practically any enemy other than bosses and makes them drop their weapons, much like Lightning attacks do, and it also destroys undead foes caught in the blast.

*** Gerudo weapons. They don’t seem very strong or durable on their own, but using Fuse on them gives them double the usual bonus. Certain monster parts, like Silver Lionel Horns, make them ludicrously powerful, often giving them over 100 Attack Power. And let's not even get started on how strong they fused to Gibdo bones when Link has with Radiant Armor equipped.

*** Octorok Balloons return, and are even better this time. Using Fuse with them and a shield lets Link float in the air for a short time, and it’s easier on the shield than a rocket. Plus, unlike Zonai devices, Link can use these in Shrines, letting the player cheat a little with certain puzzles.

* [[Slobs Versus Snobs]]: A variation, where the rivalry between factions in Hateno Village is a case of fashion versus function. Fashion designer and artist Cere is trying to beautify the town with her flashy mushroom-themed art, while traditionalist mayor Reede is upset, as he believes the gaudy colors are hurting the crops, their argument causing Cere to challenge his position as mayor of the town. The player can have Link vocally side with either of them or remain neutral, though in the end, the two reach a compromise.

* [[The Sociopath]]: Ganondorf, as usual. He's violent, sadistic, power-hungry, and a total egomaniac who cares for no one but himself.
