Fuse was was of the new mechanics introduced in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, but it turns out that Nintendo originally had grander plans for the feature. Details about its development were shared during the CEDEC 2024 presentation that took place a little while back.
According to director Hidemaro Fujibayashi, one of the original ideas for Fuse in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom let players combine multiple objects. The team also considered an option for the pattern in which the result of sticking the two things together would change into something else. Additionally, while Nintendo thought about having the ability to select the orientation of the fused materials, it was cut as sword orientations in this game were not a feature, making the angle meaningless.

In what has come as a surprise to many, a number of hardware prototypes were added to the Nintendo Museum just days before the official opening date.
One of the key complaints brought up with the location prior to its opening was that based on what was shown in the Direct and to the press, Nintendo didn’t delve much into its history here. However, this has been rectified a bit. Now that the museum has just started to open, fans have discovered that many prototypes are on display, including the earlier times with the Super Famicom and Virtual Boy, extending into the Wii U era. Some have been shown publicly before, but many have not.
