How to unfuse in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

The ability to fuse objects together is something that The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom introduces to the franchise, giving players near endless options when it comes to how they approach combat in the game. But there is a danger associated with the Fuse Ability, namely in how you unfuse items.

Fusing two objects together has a number of benefits, whether that be providing special characteristics in combat or simply restoring durability to a weapon that was about to shatter. 

As a core ability in TotK, you will find yourself fusing items in and out of combat. Eventually, it will become a seamless part of the gameplay loop and you will likely experiment with new fusions just to see what unique effects you can get a set of objects to produce during your travels across Hyrule. 

But just like how you need to be aware of your surroundings or look before you leap off of a Sky Island, you will want to carefully take stock of your inventory. Make sure you are absolutely sure you want to fuse two items before finalizing your selection, or you might regret it. 

Can you unfuse in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom?

Yes! You can unfuse items in TotK a couple of ways. One method will require you to travel to a specific vendor while the other method is less expensive but results in the destruction of materials.

Not every item in the game can be used with the Fuse Ability, but there are very few limitations on what weapons and objects won’t fuse in some way. 

Once you go through the process of fusing two items, they will combine to create something entirely new. And while the fused items are a sum of their parts for better or worse, once you fuse, you will find it’s hard to go back.

Where to unfuse in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

In order to unfuse items in Tears of the Kingdom you’ll need to travel to Tarrey Town, which you can find using the map included below. Once there, you’ll find an NPC named Goron who will unfuse any weapon you need for 20 rupees apiece.

However, if destroying the original materials you fused together is of no consequence to you, here is an additional method.

How to unfuse items in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom using the in-game menu

1. Open your in-game menu and navigate to a fused weapon. Selecting it should show an option called “Destroy fused material.”
2. Click this prompt to destroy the item you originally fused with the base weapon of the combination. 
3. Confirm this is something you want to do, which will destroy the material used for the fusion but retain the base weapon from the combination.
4. You can then use that weapon with the Fuse Ability to create another new fusion.

Fusing and unfusing items is one of several abilities that did not appear in Breath of the Wild but are now a core feature for its sequel.
