As players work through the first main quests in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Link will obtain several important abilities. However, there will still be empty spaces in the ability wheel upon completion of those quests, and some fans may wonder how they can go about filling them. This guide is here to shine some light on this matter, and players can learn how to obtain all the abilities in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom in what follows.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom - How to Unlock All Abilities
Ultrahand
Players will earn the Ultrahand ability, which can be used to pickup objects and attach them to one another, upon entering TotK's Ukouh Shrine. For full clarity, this Shrine is accessed during the preliminary main quests, and it is located on Great Sky Island at coordinates 0274, -0913, 1460.
Amiibo
Players will unlock the Amiibo ability, which makes it possible to scan Zelda Amiibos for rewards, upon receipt of the Ultrahand ability.
Map
The Map ability, which is used to open the map from the ability wheel, is unlocked during the introductory missions on Great Sky Island.
Fuse
The Fuse ability is used to attach objects to Link's weapons and shields. To obtain it, players must simply enter TotK's In-isa Shrine, which is located at coordinates 0027, -1503, 1408 on Great Sky Island. As with Ultrahand, fans will earn this ability while working through the game's first main quests.
Ascend
Ascend is an ability that can be used to move upward through solid objects, and fans can claim it by entering TotK's Gutanbac Shrine. Again, this Shrine is visited as part of the preliminary main quests, and it is situated at coordinates 0709, -1381, 1584 on Great Sky Island.
Recall
After earning Ultrahand, Fuse, and Ascend, it will become possible to enter the Temple of Time on the north end of Great Sky Island. Here, players will trigger a cutscene during which they will obtain Recall, an ability that can be used to rewind time.
Camera
To earn the Camera ability in Tears of the Kingdom, players should make their way to Lookout Landing after reaching Hyrule. For full clarity, this town can be found near coordinates -0293, 0137, 0025, and fans will be sent there on a main quest that centers around speaking with Purah. Upon completion of that quest, Josha will move to coordinates -0254, 0145, 0020, and speaking with her in that position will initiate the Camera Work in the Depths quest.
As its name suggests, this quest sends Link into the Depths, and players can fall into them near the Jiosin Shrine (coordinates -0240, -0325, 0027). In the Depths, players should use Brightbloom seeds to make their way west, interact with Robbie at -0802, -0450, -0470, and follow his instructions to receive the Camera ability.
Autobuild
The final ability is Autobuild, and it is also obtained in the Depths. More specifically, players will receive the ability from a Construct upon interacting with a green circle at coordinates -0805, -1927, -0520 in the Great Abandoned Central Mine. While there are several ways to reach this location, one good option is to jump into the Forest of Time Chasm (coordinates -0119, -1639, 0008).
With respect to the functionality of this ability, Autobuild allows players to instantly re-crate constructions that they have built with TotK's Ultrahand ability. Additionally, it makes it possible to build from the schematics that fans will receive as they continue to progress.
To note, a battle will commence as soon as players complete the Autobuild tutorial, and it can be a little difficult without some preparation. However, fans do not need to come out of this fight victorious in order to keep the ability, which makes it possible to claim Autobuild very early in the game.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is available for the Nintendo Switch.
