The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdomgives Link several new abilities that can be used to solve puzzles, traverse the environment, create contraptions, and much more. These main powers are calledAscend,Fuse,Ultrahand, andRecall, and they have all been shown in trailers and gameplay presentations for the game, so some players might be wondering just how and when they can unlock these on their own. Luckily, gathering these four abilities is rather simple and can be done in the early hours ofTears of the Kingdom.
Once Link ends up on the Great Sky Island, players must make their way to the Temple of Time; however, the front door will be locked until three tutorial puzzle shrines are completed. This is part of themain story quest called The Closed Doorand the only method to gather the aforementioned abilities.
How to Unlock Ultrahand in Tears of the Kingdom
The first ability players will have to unlock is calledUltrahand, which can be used to pick up objects and attach them to other things. By heading to theUkouh Shrine, just a little west of the Temple of Time, players will unlock the Ultrahand skill as soon as they step inside. Players can see its location on the map image below:

After acquiring Ultrahand,Tears of the Kingdomplayers can head to the southwestern section of the Great Sky Island to find the In-Isa Shrine. Making a raft is necessary to get to the shrine, and players can see its actual location on the map below. Once they enter the shrine, they will automatically learn theFuseability. This allows gamers toattach something to an equipped weapon or shield to enhance it.

How to Unlock Recall in Tears of the Kingdom
Once players have completed the three shrines, they can find their way back to the Temple of Time, open the front door, and then learn theRecallability from anecho version of Princess Zelda.
This lets Link rewind objects, which can be used in the temple to reverse the movement of the cogs so players can climb on them to progress. There will be many uses for these skills as players make their waythrough Hyrule to find Zeldaand hopefully save the land from the Gloom.
