While The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom encourages players to be as creative as they want using all of Link’s new abilities to solve puzzles and reach new points of interest, many players have discovered that creating a really long bridge is just as effective.
Link allows players to use various objects, including logs, planks of wood, and more. can build these really long bridges with the help of the Ultrahand ability that allows you to connect. Tears of the Kingdom allows many of these items to be brought together, helping players solve puzzles, reach new locations in unexpected ways, and cross areas with broken bridges or lots of water that would otherwise seem impenetrable.
Speaking of water, @mechafriend He wants to tell players on Twitter that you don’t need a boat to cross the river, because bridges are better!
the boat? What is this..? I just built my wooden bridge, I think it’s neat #KingdomTears pic.twitter.com/sDvc6RhZUk

Bridges can also help bypass the security of a location like the Hyrule Field Skyview Tower and @TheAndyCortez This shows that you can even use Ascend to get to a bridge that you can’t just walk on.

@AlexLaverde16 It shows the power of the “long bridge” that makes it easier to cross the islands of the sky.

@AndresPlays93 shows how you can build a high bridge to make a climbing platform where you can’t normally climb.

Not everything is perfect in the world of bridge building, but players need to be careful @KenjxXz and lose the beautiful bridge where you have to watch it fall from hundreds of feet to the ground.

@DanceGaming also shows the dangers of misplaced bridging by warning others to be careful where they place their new creations!
