The Items You Need to Make a Stone Axe in Tears of the Kingdom

First of all, youā€™ll need to have learned the Fuse skill, and youā€™ll need to know how to use it. Use our guide for how to fuse weapons if youā€™re not sure. To make the stone axe in TotK, youā€™ll need two items: a stone and a stick, branch, sword, or some other compatible weapon.

You can use different items as the axeā€™s handle, but the stronger the base weapon, the better the axe. You can use a tree branch if you want, but your axe wonā€™t be particularly durable.

As for the stone, you may have to hunt around.Youā€™ll find stones on the ground, but theyā€™re not the same as a boulder or rock. If youā€™re in doubt, activate Fuse and aim the ability at the item on the ground. Thatā€™ll tell you whether itā€™s a stone, boulder, or so on.

Here is everything you need to know about how to create an axe in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, to make your tree-chopper.

Now, fuse the two items, the stone and whatever youā€™ve chosen as a handle, and youā€™ll have an axe. Your axe can be used as a weapon, but weā€™d advise you hold onto it and just use it on trees and logs. Once youā€™ve cut down a tree and got a log, use your axe on the log to get a bundle of wood.
