So to do this, you hold ZR, then hold Up on the directional pad. This will bring up the menu with all your items that you can fuse to your arrows. When you have the item you want to use, let go of Up and Tears of the Kingdom will automatically assign that item to your drawn arrow, its effect activating when you shoot it.
