What is Recall in Tears of the Kingdom?
Quite simply, Recall is a new ability that acts as a rewind mechanic that reverse the actions or movement of an object for a brief window of time in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
So, if you’ve been messing around with a giant boulder and it rolled off a cliff, for instance, Recall will rewind time on that specific object and should be able to get it back onto the cliff.
How to use Recall in Tears of the Kingdom
Like any other Tears of the Kingdom ability in Link’s arsenal, our protagonist will need to be looking at an object and select the Recall ability to use. Make sure the cursor is on the object you want to rewind time on and push the action button to use Recall.

During the Official Gameplay Demonstration video that Nintendo did on March 28, 2023, they used the example of a rock that had fallen from the sky.
Link climbed on the rock, used Recall on it, and the rock zipped straight back up into the sky, allowing Link to access one of the game’s many sky islands.
As with everything, we’re sure that players are going to find innovative ways to use this mechanic and it’ll also play a big part in, presumably, the returning Shrine puzzles too.
