The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom – Tips for Using Springs

Traversal with Springs

Navigating the world of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom can be made easier and more efficient with the use of Springs. By utilizing these devices, players can launch themselves and objects high into the air to access otherwise unreachable locations. To maximize the usefulness of Springs, follow these tips:

  • Activate Springs by hitting them with an arrow or a jump strike while standing on them.
  • Stack multiple Springs before activating the top one for a greater launch distance.
  • Fuse a Spring to a shield to have easier access to its launching capabilities. Performing a shield surf with a Spring attached will automatically launch you upward.

Combat with Springs

In addition to traversal benefits, Springs can also be a valuable asset in combat situations. Here are some combat tips for using Springs:

  • Launch yourself with a Spring during combat to avoid danger and engage enemies in bullet time.
  • Fuse a Spring to a weapon to fling enemies away upon hit, particularly useful near high cliffs, lava, or other hazards that can instantly eliminate foes.
  • When using a Spring Shield, enemies that strike it with a melee attack will bounce away from you, aiding in crowd control.
  • Spring Shields can be used to automatically reflect projectiles. Simply hold up a Spring Shield to return thrown rocks and Gleeok fireballs back to their sender.
