Rewind Objects to Gain Height

Recall can also be used to gain height. Grab an object with Ultrahand and hold it high in the air for a few seconds. Let it go, and use Recall on the object to move it back in air.

This can be used to cheese most Shrine puzzles in the game or ride the Zonai Wing without using a runway.

Recall Objects to Use Against Enemies

You can use Recall to rewind objects and use them to inflict damage to enemies. As seen in the video clip above, Link uses Recall to push back the spiked objects to attack the Bokoblin and Moblin.

Each Part of the Fused Object Can Still Be Recalled

Certain objects that you can use Ultrahand with can also be used to recall its motion. This means that it is possible to make an elevator using two fused objects.

To do this, fuse an arrow with a piece of Wood, shoot it towards the sky, and wait for it to land down. Then, you can attach a wooden platform on top of the wood and use Recall on the material to create the elevator.
