Best Weapons and Shields and How to Get Them
You can efficientlly acquire a good amount of Stone Axes in the early game by fusing together stones and tree branches. These will allow you to get ingredients such as acorns and apples, as well as giving you access to logs which you can use for building and exploring.
The Rock Hammer can be used to destroy ore deposits found in caves. Ore deposits drop items like Diamonds, Sapphires, and Topaz, which can be sold for a good amount of Rupees.
You fuse together a one-handed weapon and a rock to get the Rock Hammer.

Fuse is one of Link's new abilities that he can utilize in the Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Players can now combine materials with weapons, shields and arrows to improve their effectiveness, as well as giving weapons new effects.
This ranges from making a shield that spews flames by fusing a Zonai Flame Emitter with a shield, making an ice arrow by fusing White Chuchu Jelly with an arrow, making a long range makeshift spear by fusing a Long Stick and Pitchfork, and many more. Link can also unfuse a Fused weapon by accessing his inventory.
Fusing can also restore the durability of a badly damaged weapon, extending its lifespan just a bit.
All Abilities and How to Unlock
Unfortunately, Link cannot fuse an already fused weapon with another object, making the maximum fuse limit to only two.
A message will appear stating Fuse has already been used on this if the player tries to fuse an already fused weapon. However, the player can access the menu, select the fused weapon and select Destroy Fused Material allowing you to keep the base weapon, resulting to the disappearance of the fused material.
You can also sort Link's available fusion material in his arsenal by choosing By Fuse Attack Power which as the name implies, sorts his materials by their attack power when fused.
