Bind refers to the method of attachment, being bonded is the result, so you're reversing the direction of the bond when you switch who is in control. Reversing the bind would mean the other creature or object is doing the binding rather than the PC.

​@@TheFreddie306 I don't think so. We've already seen a lot of enemies I don't think a moblin would work on. Anything that flies, anything underwater, those carnivorous plants, redeads, anything that climbs (in the death mountain region mostly), or any amount of enemies that's stronger than 2 moblins. We can probably only summon 2 moblins, I mean, cause they cost 2 triangles and there's probably a maximum of five. Sure, you'll probably be able to copy most of the enemies, but quite a few enemy camps seem to suggest that there will be more monsters than you can summon, so you'll still need strategy to overcome their superior numbers

Still mixed on this one. Especially now that they've shown bind. On the one hand "puzzly" like you said, but on the other hand it does just seem like Ultrahand/magnesis, but 2D.

[@hododod246]

how is bind similar with ultrahand/magnesis? Even magnesis and ultra hand were completely different. Magnesis: Move metal objects. Ultra hand: glue objects together and position them. Bind: Bind an object to yourself. While moving, you are keeping your relative position to the objects same. There is no free positioning.

[@thelastwindwaker7948]

@@hododod246 They have differences between them, but they all do one thing the same, letting you move large objects in your environment around.

And bind still lets you move giant boulders out of the way, even if they're restricted to the player's movement.

[@dpackerman4203]

@@hododod246what he meant is you can use bind to basically cheat the game, making everything feel trivializing. That’s the problem with ultrahand in TotK.

Why stack boxes when I have a spider I can move around, why call the horse if the rolly polly will move me faster, why use most of the combat tools if I can just pick monsters up and throw them off cliffs or into a void whenever that is an option. Like why play the game like it wants me to? if it's not giving me scenarios where these interactions can be ignored in favor of a more optimal solution. You know why make cars or robot fighter machines when the hover bike is the best option for most mobility issues, and a wheel with some ice, laser and fire spitters will basically stun lock most enemies in the game.

I think it's a little bit ridiculous that you can straight up immobilize an enemy from range and throw it off a cliff, or heck, even a hole if you aren't near a ledge. Not to say I'm not still excited for this, but that really isn't doing much to do away with my concerns here.
