The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom will surprise you at every juncture, not only in terms of exploration but also in terms of combat. You will encounter many enemies that employ varied tactics to defeat you. Fortunately, the game consists of several intricate gameplay mechanics that will aid you in beating them.

The adversaries get blinded for a while and are unable to retaliate, giving you a much-needed breather during a hectic combat situation. You are then free to use any other tactics to beat them, like using Flower Bombs to blast your foes.
