How to Use Ascend in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom
Luckily, Ascend is very easy to use in Zelda TotK. Once you have unlocked it, place your character underneath the ceiling of a structure that you want to get to the top of. Go into your abilities tab and select Ascend. Now that you have it selected, press L. If you have positioned Link correctly, this is going to activate a green indicator on the ceiling. It indicates that you can use Ascend. If the indicator is red, you can’t use the ability. Press A to begin to Ascend upwards. Alternatively, you can press B to cancel. Link will then emerge through the floor on the top of the structure. Press A and he will exit the hole. Or press B to have him go back down.
