13 Best Items In Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom, Ranked

Schema Stones

Schema Stones are flat pieces of stone that show diagrams of Zonai machines. You can use Schema Stones with Autobuild to make it easy to rebuild anything you made with Ultrahand.

Autobuild will only remember a certain number of things you’ve built without Schema Stones, so make sure to get them all to make your building adventures easier. You can find the stones all over the Depths in the Abandoned Mines.

Fruits

Tears of the Kingdom does not have the elemental weapons. Instead, you’ll find new fruits that you can’t eat but can put on your arrows to give them elemental powers. Fire Fruits, Ice Fruits, Dazzle Fruits, and Splash Fruits can be found all over Hyrule, but they are most common in the kingdoms that share the same element as the fruit.

You might stock up on something and then think, “I don’t need to grab anything else.” But you should always take what you find. You won’t ever regret having too much. It’s much cheaper than going to the market over and over to buy expensive elemental darts.

Mushrooms

There are a few new mushrooms in the game. Bright Caps and Puffshrooms are the most useful. Most Bright Caps can be found in caves. When cooked into a recipe, they make you glow, which is useful for exploring the Depths.

You can put puffshrooms on darts and shoot them at your enemies to make a smokescreen and give yourself a chance to attack from behind. The Puffshrooms are a great tactical advantage, especially against the big groups of monsters that are spread out across Hyrule.

Flowers

There are a lot of Bomb Flowers and Muddle Buds in the Depths and in caves, and you’ll want to get them all. Bombs can always be used to attack enemies or blow up walls that are broken. Muddle Buds have a new effect: when they hit the ground, they explode into smoke, confusing anyone in the area for a moment and turning them against their friends.

The Muddle Bud is great for sneaking up on monster groups, just like the Puffshroom. Send one in, hit one or two monsters, and then watch as the rest of the monsters turn on their friends. The result doesn’t last very long, but it works very well.

Decayed Master Sword

It isn’t very useful, and you only get it for a short time at the start of Funny Shooter 2. So, what’s so great about the Decayed Master Sword? If you’ve ever played a Zelda game, you know how it goes: the world needs saving, the hero wakes up, the hero fights a few bosses, and the hero finds an epic sword to fulfill his fate. Tears of the Kingdom shows how important the Master Sword is even more. It’s a mainstay of the games just like Link himself.

When you see it broken, the world stops spinning for a moment while you try to figure out what just happened. How is the sword gone? What’s next? It’s not a very important thing, but seeing it will make you feel something that will stay with you for a long time.

Zonai Devices

Want to move? Fans? A light source? You’re good to go with Zonai Devices. You can put them on guns, shields, or make transportation with them. They run on an energy cell that automatically recharges over time.

And if that wasn’t cool enough, you can get travel-sized ones from a gumball machine! There are many different trip ones, like a time bomb and a cooking pot that can only be used once. They’re useful and easy to use, and there’s nothing like the excitement of seeing what comes out of the hopper.

Sticky Frogs and Sticky Lizards

You are standing next to a cliff wall. You’re all set to go with your speed boosts and energy elixirs, but then it starts to rain.

In Breath of the Wild, that’s where your hiking adventure would end and a long walk would begin. The Sticky Elixir in Tears of the Kingdom is a way to solve this problem. The sticky frog and sticky lizard are the only animals that can be used to make this clever little mix. Wildlife was a big part of your elixirs in Breath of the Wild, so this is nothing new, but it is nice to have a way to climb wet walls. Rain will never stop you again!

Travel Medallions

It’s great to be able to get places quickly. But what if there isn’t a shrine or Skyview tower near a place you want to visit often? Or do you just want to get closer? Purah Pad is here to tell you what to do. With the new version of the Sheikah Slate, you can set up trip gates that let you quickly go to a certain place whenever you want.

At first, you could only do one of these at a time and only if you had the Breath of the Wild DLC. But you can easily have up to three with a fully updated Purah Pad.

Hylian Pine Cone

“Grows on trees and can be found everywhere in Hyrule. It burns well because it has oil in it. Throw it into a fire to make the flames burn hotter.” This tiny seed will make a big boom for you. They’re very common and might seem like something you could skip, but you’ll want to keep a few on hand, particularly if you used Rivali’s Gale in Breath of the Wild to get around quickly.

Now you can just throw down some flint and wood, start a fire, and throw a pine cone on the fire to get a wind worthy of the dead king.

Towing Harness

One of the biggest new things in Tears of the Kingdom is the ability to build transportation devices, like test cars that can move on their own (or with the help of a Zonai device). The stables have also started a system of rewards called “Pony Points.” When you do business with a stable, you get a point, and the towing harness will be your first gift.

Then, you can choose to change your horse’s look at the counter, where you can also hook up the pulling harness. From there, you can just hook up any wheeled car you’ve made and go. Use the coolest horse and cart in all the lands to ride through the fields of Hyrule.

Sleepover Tickets

You like the idea of inns, but you don’t like spending your hard-earned dollars on them. Pony Points will take care of you. When you reach 45 points (and again when you reach 55 points), you’ll get five Sleepover Tickets, which you can trade at any stable for a night’s sleep in a normal bed.

That’s a total of ten free sleeps, perfect for when you need a quick nap but don’t want to go back to Lookout Landing just to save 20 rupees (or if you’re broke because you spent all your money on arrows again…).

Construct Parts

Most of the time, the Zonai Constructs are safe. Until you can find a soldier. They are like guards in Tears of the Kingdom. They are everywhere, strong, and ready to kill you without giving you a second thought. When they die, they drop horns of different sizes that you can use to make an army spear or sword by fusing them to a weapon.

There are different levels of troops. The better the part you get and the stronger your fused weapon will be, the higher the level of the soldier. You can also change them at Zonai Device dispensers for devices, so they won’t go to waste.

Fabrics

Nintendo has finally figured out that customizing is what everyone loves most. Tears of the Kingdom opens up the game in ways that no other Zelda game has, even if they are small. For example, you can use the Attach and Fuse choices to build, and you can use fabrics to change the look of your glider.

A lot of them can only be gotten with Amiibos, but you can get a few from the game, like the first cloth, at the Kochi Dye Shop in Hateno Village. This is also where you can get your glider customized. The game is really good because of the little things that make it so.
