The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is here at last, and gamers can finally set foot back in Hyrule and discover its new secrets. Just like in real life, being able to start a fire has various uses in Tears of the Kingdom.
This guide will teach players the basics of making their own fires in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom so that they can roast a few apples and mushrooms, sleep through the night, and even set some enemies ablaze.
How To Make A Campfire
There are two necessary elements when it comes to making a campfire in Tears of the Kingdom: wood and Fire Fruit.
Given the importance of the Ultrahand ability in the game, gamers will need to carry an axe most of the time so that they can cut down trees and get trunks for their creations. Alternatively, they can also hit a tree trunk with their axe another time to turn it into chopped wood.
To drop the wood on the floor, players can press D-pad up, select it and then press Drop, or they can also open their inventory with +, go to the Materials tab, hold one woodpile by pressing X and followed by A, click B to return to the game and then press A once again to drop it.
Then, near the woodpile, players need to grab Fire Fruit and drop it right next to it. It will start a fire on impact, so to do this, players must hit it with a weapon. This works just like Flint did in Breath of the Wild, but it doesn't require a metal weapon in order to create a spark.
Fire Fruit can be found on small tears near the debris that have fallen from the sky.
With a campfire nearby, players can skip time and quickly roast some ingredients.
How To Start A Fire
There are various reasons why one would want to start a wildfire in Tears of the Kingdom. It's an effortless method to decrease an enemy's health, and it can also be a great way to get rid of an obstacle or a leaf pile hiding a Korok.
Gamers can start fires by holding a wooden weapon near a campfire to get it to catch fire and then hitting some foliage with it.
It's also possible to use Fire Fruit to create a fire. If the player presses R on their controller, Link can throw any weapon or material. He can hold a Fire Fruit and then throw it to get it to start a fire in a certain area. Alternatively, gamers can also fuse Fire Fruit with a weapon or an arrow and use it on some foliage - it will create a fire on impact.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is available for the Nintendo Switch.
