You can access your inventory by pressing the (+) Button on your controller/right JoyCon. From there you must select the item you want to equip by pressing Y or X depending on which button you want the item to be set to.
If you hold B button for a few seconds it will make Link hold his sword forward and charge up. Letting go will make Link do a spin attack, dealing additional damage. In many cases, this is the only way to damage a particular foe.
If you raise your shield before attempting to do the dash attack, Link will hold his shield while dashing. This is extremely useful when closing the gap against distant enemies.
If you equip both Bombs and the Bow on the Y and X button, pressing them the same time will allow link to fire an arrow with a bomb that explodes on contact.
