Highlights

• Tears of the Kingdom expands on Breath of the Wild with new locales, mechanics, and tougher challenges.

• Items like Yellow Chuchu Jelly and Electric Keese Eyeballs can be fused to create potent electric weapons.

The long-awaited sequel to Breath of the Wild arrived 2023 to universal acclaim and multiple awards. Expanding on the open-world exploration of its predecessor, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom offers a revised and expanded Hyrule with new locales, mechanics, and tougher challenges and foes. Among its most novel additions is the Fuse mechanic, a perfect antidote to the limited weapon durability signature to this new style of open-world Zelda. The ability to Fuse items to weapons not only saves players from breaking them but can produce even more potent and capable weaponry.

As players explore Hyrule they can find numerous different items capable of adding elemental damage when Fused with standard weaponry. Below are some of the best items to make electric weapons in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

7 Yellow Chuchu Jelly

Found In Gerudo Desert & West Necluda

A brilliant material found by either defeating Electric Chuchus or electrocuting Regular Chuchu Jelly. Easily found, Yellow Chuchu jelly is as versatile as it is attainable. It can be thrown as a standalone electric grenade or Fused and attached to weaponry for a powerful electric effect. Despite only 1 Fuse attack power, a melee weapon will release a moderate-sized electric explosion with Yellow Chuchu Jelly Fused to it. Attaching the jelly to an arrow will produce the same-sized blast and give players an electric projectile attack per attachment.

Players can use Shock Fruit to turn regular Chuchu Jelly into Yellow Chu Chu jelly. This item that the player easily collects should be considered. They will likely have Chu Chu jelly of some form or another from their exploration of Hyrule

6 Electric Keese Eyeball + Arrows

Found In Gerudo Desert At Night

One of Tears of the Kingdom’s greatest additions is the ability to Fuse with the monster’s eyeballs. Should an Electric Keese drop one of their yellow eyeballs, the player is granted a Fuse item with unique and powerful properties. A Fuse attack power of 6 is granted to any melee weapon or shield for a parry with a disarming electric shock to it. Yet it is when attached to arrows that the Electric Keese Eyeball is at its most deadly. Not only is the arrow given an extra 6 points of attack power it will home onto the targeted enemy before delivering a powerful electrifying impact.

All monster eyeballs in the game are homing and of incredible use for traversing Hyrule and none more so than this electricity-imbued edition.

5 Topaz + Melee Weapon

Found In Mineral Deposits All Across Hyrule

A valuable mineral that requires mining, Topaz is a cubic gemstone that can grant the player money if sold and is an invaluable item for upgrading armor. However, it is also a fiendishly capable Fuse item. Despite only offering an additional 1 in attack power from Fusing, Topaz infuses electrical power to melee weapons with an added range bonus. Each swing of the weapon will produce electrical orbs fired in the direction of the enemy.

A valuable item with a valuable attack, consider a Topaz Fuse a potent backup when negotiating crowds and watered areas.

4 Electric Keese Wing + Arrows

Found In Gerudo Desert At Night

The Yellow bat-like monsters are found in caves across and underneath Hyrule, particularly in the Gerudo Desert and its depths beneath. Promising a 2 Fuse attack power, these electrified Keese wings make for incredible arrow attachments, giving the fired arrow a much greater flight distance and delivering an electrical explosion on impact. Yet this isn’t the only Fuse use of Electric Keese Wings. Attaching them to melee weapons will grant them much further throw distance along with an electrical effect.

These monster partstypically used for cooking elixirs are also effective stand-alone weapons; should the player be in a pinch, just throwing an Electric Keese Wing at an enemy will temporarily stun them and cause them to drop their weapons.

3 Shock Fruit + Arrows

Found In East Necluda And Gerudo Desert

Shock Fruit are not only a useful item for cooking but are a considerable asset for causing electrical damage. While Shock Fruit can be Fused to a melee weapon or a shield, doing so will not only stun and zap an enemy but Link himself, making this far from ideal. However, should a Shock Fruit be Fused to an arrow, the player can produce an electrical projectile attack that can disarm and stun an enemy from some distance.

Of even more use to the player, firing a Shock Fruit-Fused arrow into a crowd can produce the same effect on multiple enemies. For even more devastation, players can fire Fused Shock Fruit arrows into water-bound or frozen enemies.

2 Shock Like Stone + Arrows/Melee Weapons

Found In East Necluda And Hyrule Field

One of the more potent electric Fuse elements, the Shock Like Stone can offer an additional 12 attack power when Fused with weaponry. Reliable for use as a Fuse on shields for a parry that can shock enemies or for melee weapons for much the same as well as buffed damage. Shock Like Stones are also remarkably effective when attached to arrows. Not only will the projectile gain 12 points of attack power, the surrounding electricity from its impact is sizable and is very effective against crowds.

The only downside to the Shock Like Stone is its need to recharge energy after several attacks as a melee Fuse.

1 Electric Lizalfos Tail + Melee Weapon

Found In Gerudo Wasteland And Faron

Far from easy to get hold of with a considerably low drop rate, Electric Lizalfos Tails are among the most potent electric weapon utilities of the entire game. Dropped by Electric Lizalfos, players looking to farm for their tails in the Gerudo Wasteland, where they can be found camouflaging and wedging themselves in the sand. Players can also search for them in the Faron Region, but need to be aware of the constant lightning storms. Without a doubt the coolest electric weapon available in the game, Fusing an Electric Lizalfos Tail to a melee weapon will produce an electric whip for the player’s attack with.

While only offering 10 additional Fuse attack power the range of the whip-like striking makes this an inspired way to make electric weapons.
