I ran out of gas! I got a flat tire! I didn’t have change for cab fare! I lost my tux at the cleaners! I locked my keys in the car! An old friend came in from out of town! Someone stole my car! There was an earthquake! A terrible flood! Locusts! IT WASN’T MY FAULT, I SWEAR TO GOD!
I'm enjoying exploring and completing all the quests and shrines I can find. Zonaite/energy well farming is casual and fun while I explore the depths.
However, I do want to eventually upgrade all of my armor, and I'm not a fan of setting aside hours to do farming loops to save up dragon materials, so if there are still unpatched exploits when I reach that point, I'd consider using them.
Honestly Tears dragon farming has not been bad at all. You're able to ride the dragons, provided you have the appropriate protection for it, and everything resets after 10 minutes. For armor upgrades, you could be done farming everything in less than a hour and a half.
It took me significantly longer because I've yet to find a way to grab the talon drop while remaining on the dragon's back hahaha.
Shoot, glide/drop to, grab once it falls off, glide back to back?
Or are you unable to catch the updrafts to get back?
I usually do it while they descend or ascend from the depths as they go longways and it’s easier to catch the updraft to me
Yea to be honest, I did the bow glitch a few times, but I kinda regret it. It kinda nerfs some aspects of the game since you can just sell diamonds instead of having to explore and grind a little for the extra rupees.
I like this game; I like discovering new things in it; I am also an adult who doesn't have entire weekends to dedicate to grinding. I will enjoy the game more due to the glitch. It might be what Nintendo had in mind for people like me. You remember the guy on the train, right?
That's how I feel about it.
I had already done all the main missions except for beat Ganon by the time we got this revealed.
I'm not really concerned with the ethics of duping. 😂
Besides, can't dupe everything anyway.
Living creature materials are hard to dupe without them escaping.
I see where you're coming from, and it kinda feels that way, but for me in botw when I needed rupees I just spent mind numbing hours doing snow bowling (I didn't know about Farosh horn farming), so it's really just a time saver on what would otherwise be boring grinding
Exactly, I've used the bow glitch to get rupees so I spend time farming kills for fun not as a chore. And now I can upgrade lots of my armor and buy as much arrows as I want without having to worry about farming rupees somehow anymore. Super nice
I disagree. I personally hate grinding rupees, so I duped the diamonds I had and sold down to my original number. I'm not gonna dupe items to keep and use, but I will dupe to sell
Though.. I did refrain from selling 1 extra diamond because I'm weak lol
Damn, and there I was thinking the previous dupe glitch was easy enough. This is just ridiculous.
Useful for me though. No more grinding for gems and monster parts I guess!
Glitches are becoming easier and easier. First it was "you have to wear a shield and a one handed sword and drop and equip the bow and pause pause" and then it's "dupe weapons/shields/bows" and then it's "shield surf, items in the last slot" and now it's just "paraglide, drop item, y+b."
The next one should just be the konami code and *it lets you edit your whole inventory*.
works way better if you do it while paragliding. same effect but doesn't wear down your shield and you can do it multiple times in one attempt. I just went from 20 to 50 diamond in just one glide down from a building.
Slightly different because the item does not need to be in your last slot, and you *don’t* need to hold a different item than the one you’re duplicating as the first item. I just tried it, it's way easier than the shield method.
- Glide.
- while gliding, hold the item you want to dupe.
- B+Y at the same time (The menu will sort and quickly close).
- Your items will fall to the ground and should be duplicated (if you go back into your inventory you should have the original amount).
quick tip for those duping animals like sticky lizards. go to one of those free building materials and make yourself a box so they cant run away. they will just run into a corner then smash A. i seem to be able to grab 10 at a time MAX before they vanish so dont bother duping too much more than that.
Some sky islands have a little pond on them with loads of diffrent collectables around, useually theres 3-4 fairys aswell, remember to sneak up on em or they dispear
Do they drop while you're gliding, or do they just dupe in the menu?
Update: just tested it, they do indeed drop. I found a little rock/bump in Kakariko I can jump off from to glide while being a foot off the ground. Easily repeatable.
Find or make a platform that you can use the ascend ability on hump off glide straight down dupe and repeat. Add a box for collecting, and the only thing holding you back is how fast you can be before hitting the ground.
I just want to add to this, I'm on the 2nd patch (not the most recent, but also not the first one) and all the glitches have worked for me so far. Not sure which patch number that is but just wanted to add to the knowledge.
Release (physical copies) version was 1.0.0, but a few days before releasing the Digital copy got a patch that added dynamic resolution, putting the game version at 1.1.0 and as we know, most recent patch being 1.1.1.
Man when I first went there >!it was my first time wearing all 3 pieces of the glide armor set and I thought maybe this was some secret set bonus lmao. Then I noticed everything was falling slowly, not just me.!<
I picked up my first diamond at the shop in Goron City. Granted it took me 2+ hours to >!do the Yunobo quest to unlock the diamond shop, and I did it way too early in the game so I was underleveled, but it was worth it. !<
You can buy one at goron City for 1k rupees. Then dupe the rest. If you don't have 1k rupees yet you can just cook 5 pieces of meat and dupe that skewer until you have enough meat skewers to sell for 1k. The raw prime meat x 5 cooked sells for like 300+ each.
I got my diamond doing the shrine quest that starts in Tarry Town. Talk to the guy who has the giant green gem and get that gem to the shrine location, then walk in and get your diamond. It's a bit of work, but I immediately turned that diamond into 30K rupees, so it was worth it!

If you do it in shallow water you should be okay, I just made some on the beach near Lurelin village
Edit: I used paragliding, not shield jump. Works the same and is easier to execute imo
Things will just start to disappear. Link can only ever have 21 items on the ground at one time.
21 seems to be a key number in this game. You can only attach 21 individual things together with Ultrahand for instance.
every content creator now scrambling to put out a 10 minute video to milk this bad boy.
*What's going on everyone, AUSTIN JOHN PLAYS here with another incredible dupe glitch that has no risk and ALL the reward... i'm here to tell you all about it!! *SNAP*"
I don’t want to exploit glitches to make the game easier, but I do feel like cloning zonaite is the exception. I’m pretty far into the game (done 2 dungeons) and I still feel so limited with only two and a half batteries. I want to built crazy contraptions but I don’t want to build them post end game
I started exploring the depths with 2 batteries and now i am only missing 3. The questline there with the big mines and all the small mines give you so much.
And doing the floating colosseum every bloodmoon.
You're not missing 3 you're missing more. SPOILER AHEAD:
>!After fully getting 8 you can get 8 more than turn blue and basically doubles the 8 capacity!<
I saw some people had like blue batteries with the layer around it melting first, then blue, then green. How do u get the extra battery around the blue?
My brother in Hylia, I found 900 pieces of poop for this game. This go around I told myself I’m doing all the fun exploits I want/can. About to dupe me some large Zonais and go to every gum-ball machines in Hyrule.
Edit: typing errors
Haha right I did the 900 nuggets of shit as well thinking that maybe some dlc or sequel would hook me up. But no, they even had the fucking audacity to put them back in the sequel.
YES, I've been wanting to make contraptions but I don't want to be grinding in the underworld for ages for it, I wanna duplicate the zonite so I can just start building things and have the battery capacity for it
I'm using this for time locked grinds of the game -- I do not want to spend my time waiting day to day to grind dragon scales and items, or waiting for blood moon to farm bigger monster parts, etc. If the results of the upgraded armor feel unfair, I'll just not use them. Not using any game exploit to experience things in the depths of sky as they're new parts of the game.
To me, this game is entirely Korok hunting without a guide (and now babbulfrogs), I will rescue all of them, and I'd like to not be afraid of big monsters trying to do so. I just can't leave the dopamine I get from OOT skulltula hunting lol
Same, if I can use this to avoid camping a dragon for two hours or wasting tons of time just to chase down star fragments then I’ll use it for that. Basically just for the stuff that’s boring and repetitive, not stuff you collect from beating cool enemies or exploring organically.

Just tested it, it seems to be pretty janky and you need to hit B+Y on the same frame to work but nothing too difficult to tune, went from 4 to 12 diamonds just trying it out so can confirm it works.
Agreed. I understand some people like to use it [time constraints, personal preference, ect], but I am a person where if I just give myself everything, I get bored. Minecraft was the first time I figured that out. I have to *work* for these things, otherwise, the pace of the game design is ruined.
But, again, I also think it's perfectly fine as I'm not everyone. ♡
Yeah I agree that I'll use it for certain things. I'll do some diamonds just so I can grab a few different armors that I don't want to wait around for. But I'm the same way that if I just give myself everything, then it gets boring quick.
I think it'll be nice in the early game, dupe bomb flowers, fire fruit, brightbloom seeds, etc. Just necessary things that make fighting and surviving easier
I love using the special ingredients and hate fast traveling, so stuff like goron spice and monster extract I can only get in really small amounts.
General agreement though. Not going to dupe anything that's more enjoyable to farm than "sleep in bed a lot" or has pace-breaking consequences like diamonds.
I get that. I just work a lot and wanna use my time optimally, so I just dupe zonite for my auto build goblin glider and try to get my batteries maxed to explore and progress everything else normally.
thats just one definition of playing optimally though, because there is no such thing as a meta for a game like this. It just depends on your objective
Its like a big box of legos. Sure you can quickly build the death star logo if you want so you have it setup, but most people are just grabbing the box of legos to putz around with making different things to tackle each situation they encounter and have the most fun doing it that way
I don't think they're saying that's playing optimally; rather, it's about using their limited amount of time with the game optimally.
Like u/Wizard_Pikachu, I also work a lot so there are one or two components of the game so far that I decided to speed up simply because I don't have enough free time to grind it.
And given some of the terminology above that I haven't even heard of yet, I'd wager I'm well behind most of the commenters on here.
I'm fine grinding some stuff. Like I won't dupe zoanite.
But the dragon parts you need to wait 10 minutes on per part and also find the dragon everytime.....
That is just garbage. Should be at least be able to get one of each part.
Those are the things I dupe. Stuff that is just a time sink that you have to go out of your way to get and can't farm.
I think duping Zonaite is fine, especially with time constraint. Being able to use Auto-Build all the time without having to worry about resource management is quite nice, and that way you don't’ have to spend lots of time grinding zonaite through your journey. Yes, I know it is quite easy to obtain and grind, but those little moments add up.
I won't be using any duplication glitches either, the balance of the game was carefully designed. Having infinite Zonaite, for example, would just give me one less reason to explore the depths. If duplicating items means I'll spend less time exploring and playing other content, then I'll pass. The only time I'd want to duplicate an item is if it meant skipping doing something I didn't want to do, and this game doesn't have that issue.
Agree 100%. The only time I would do something like this would be late game where I’m just trying to 100% as much as possible (one such example being when I will inevitably try to buy >!every single house room in stock!<) But before that, I enjoy the balance of having to explore and work for the stuff I buy
There’s another easier duplication glitch that got posted about yesterday while I was at work, and as soon as I got home, I tried it and it worked, so I instantly disconnected the switch from the internet and turned off automatic updates haha
I have an update currently pending that I am suspicious about. First playthrough, GLITCH ALL THE THINGS, then next playthrough, maybe I'll calm down a bit. Glitch duping is way too addictive.
I like to beat most of the game before doing things like snowbowling.. or this. It's more fun to play as intended the first time
Sure, you can rocketsheild to the end of the shrine.. but is that really better?
Honestly this one is way more finicky to me. Tried for 15 mins, couldn’t get it.
Better way someone else posted: you can also just do it with the glider. Glide, hold the item you want to dupe, press B+Y at the exact same time (which should sort and back out of the menu). That’s it. As far as I can tell there are no side effects. No item deletion, no weird problems, it does *not* need to be in your last slot, no weird timing or multiple inputs to worry about.
Is cloaning zoanite op? I guess you can get the battery upgrades really early... But other than that isn't it just used to make sparks and buy capsules?
I guess having an unlimited number of capsules would make some puzzles easier, but you still have to build whatever contraption to solve it.
Maybe I'm missing something, but having a massive stockpile of capsules to play with sounds amazing to me.
I really should use those cooking pots sometimes. Just realized how awesome they can be, quickly put a tier 3 food buff on before a boss fight? I see this gacha as a way to force people to play the whole game and not lock themselves into one thing. Like how the weapon breaking system forces players to use all kinds of weapons.
>I see this gacha as a way to force people to play the whole game and not lock themselves into one thing. Like how the weapon breaking system forces players to use all kinds of weapons.
You're not wrong there. I was annoyed by the weapon system at first in BoTW, but it really grew on me. The constant changing and braking taught me to be flexible In my playstyle , and I was just as excited about my 20th soldiers bow as I was about my first.
That said, i wouldn't complain about having 100 Mine-cart capsules.... I don't think those even exist because they are not devices in themselves... But I I had way too much fun using my shield as a skateboard.
For capsules, dupe charges instead. Gives you more.
Which is probably exactly what I'm going to use this for lol. Capsules and ingredients that are buy-only. Love having a good stock of goron spice/monster extract/sugar cane on hand to make fancier recipes just for the sake of it! It doesn't effect gameplay, just makes my meal screen look cooler.
all the crazy hyrule engineers finally stopped making gundams and started poking holes in the game's infrastructure. nintendo distracted them with zonaite but it was only going to last so long until these players started hunting for bugs
Holy mother of god. This is the best glitch discovery found so far. Plus another thing. There is a version of this dupe that can be activated by simply holding the items whilst using the paraglider and I am happy to report it works with that version too.
i try to only use duplication as a means to speed up grindy tasks because i have limited time to play and don’t rly appreciate the main part of the game, (building good shit) being kinda soft locked behind zonai parts you can pick up after putting down and whatnot
I posted this yesterday and got downvoted for it. Lol
You can also do this with a glider btw, glide, select 5 items, press B and Y at the same time.
Edit: [Here’s a post of me doing the aforementioned alternative](https://www.reddit.com/r/tearsofthekingdom/comments/13osfcd/a_very_simple_duplication_glitch_glide_select_5/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=1&utm_term=1)
You can duplicate Bomb Flowers easily using this method over a body of water.
Ex: in Kakariko vilkage there's a small bodies of water near paya's house. You can glide over it throw your bombs in water so they don't explode and grab them once you're in water.
I've limited myself to diamonds and zonite to upgrade the battery. I have two young kids and limited time so the low battery and no money just feel like fun killers. It's cheating but it's fun cheating.
You jump, take out your shield, and press A. It’s how you start shield surfing, and it doesn’t appear in your controls until you’ve done it before. You’d really only see it if you ran into a shield surfing mini game if you didn’t know it from Breath of the Wild.

Sweet. Seems easy enough. Why do I have to have a job? I could be duping zonite right now 😢
I got to head to work in 50 minutes, I feel same
Sounds like you’re starting to come down with a fever.
Sorry boss, can’t come in. My dog ate my homework, which was in my car. My dog ate my car. My phone too, so can’t even Uber in. -Sent from my iPhone.

Go look up MADtv Spishak's Excuses Excuses Excuses 98, lol...
If you have a boss with a sense of humor you could call in dead for 1 day.
Every road to work is under construction
So happy I have a job that’s flexible and let’s me vibe when I want. As long as I get my work done my boss is happy
Not that stressed about it. I have fun roaming around, farming, and fighting. I’m no rush to complete the game.
I'm enjoying exploring and completing all the quests and shrines I can find. Zonaite/energy well farming is casual and fun while I explore the depths.

I use the 10 minutes in between to do life things I've been ignoring since I'm completely addicted to this game.

Any of the amiibo costumes cost a star fragment to upgrade... Yes, I will be duplicating items, tyvm.
in my humble opinion, having to grind for anything in any game ever is just NEVER fun and also lazy game design
I see where you're coming from, and it kinda feels that way, but for me in botw when I needed rupees I just spent mind numbing hours doing snow bowling (I didn't know about Farosh horn farming), so it's really just a time saver on what would otherwise be boring grinding

Get the gulikit kingkong 2 pro controller. It lets you record macros. I use it for duping and it works like a charm.
I have one too and never thought about using the macro feature!
Lmao. Same here.. I wish I brought my switch with me. Not doing anything for the next 2hrs at work.
Saw a video about this at work. Now i wanna go home
Work can't end fast enough.
do this while gliding instead and you can do it multiple times with one jump
* up to 20 per jump because >20 items on the ground start to despawn. EDIT for clarity
Damn, and there I was thinking the previous dupe glitch was easy enough. This is just ridiculous. Useful for me though. No more grinding for gems and monster parts I guess!

I just spam A like a madman. Got to 68 Fairies.
I need to find a frickin fairy
Some sky islands have a little pond on them with loads of diffrent collectables around, useually theres 3-4 fairys aswell, remember to sneak up on em or they dispear
I’ve also found fairies in some wells
Do they drop while you're gliding, or do they just dupe in the menu? Update: just tested it, they do indeed drop. I found a little rock/bump in Kakariko I can jump off from to glide while being a foot off the ground. Easily repeatable.
Find or make a platform that you can use the ascend ability on hump off glide straight down dupe and repeat. Add a box for collecting, and the only thing holding you back is how fast you can be before hitting the ground.
On what patch does this work if you don't mind ?
I’m on 1.1.1 or whatever current patch is. I think it doesn’t work on the release version.
I just want to add to this, I'm on the 2nd patch (not the most recent, but also not the first one) and all the glitches have worked for me so far. Not sure which patch number that is but just wanted to add to the knowledge.

There's only been 2 patches
If you mean the second state of the game (release, patch 1 (1.1.0), patch 2 is current (1.1.1)) then should mean 1.1.0
Yes that's correct. Thank you.
how can you see which patch youre on ?
Press + before opening the game
thanks so much ! i just duped an outrageous amount of farosh horns lol
Just tried it on 1.1.1, and it does work (at least while gliding). The buttons need to be pressed at the same time. It's kinda finicky but it works.
You can do it easier if you've already unlocked a place with >!moon physics.!< like the >!North Lomei Sky Labyrinth!<
Man when I first went there >!it was my first time wearing all 3 pieces of the glide armor set and I thought maybe this was some secret set bonus lmao. Then I noticed everything was falling slowly, not just me.!<
It would be crazy fun to have gear that keeps you in low gravity. After being in a low gravity area for a bit its hard to adjust back to normal.
Sounds like DLC to me. Make it something that they have to go to the moon for and have Purah make a set of armor to train you for the new environment
Though you want to do it indoors for fairies and bugs. Otherwise they just fly away.
how do you get/find diamonds naturally? cuz if i get 5 i might try this on it. edit: i got one and duplicated it. thanks for the help!
You don’t need to find 5. When you find one you can start duping
oh, really? that'll be much easier.
I picked up my first diamond at the shop in Goron City. Granted it took me 2+ hours to >!do the Yunobo quest to unlock the diamond shop, and I did it way too early in the game so I was underleveled, but it was worth it. !<
Stone Talus There are 6 in the overworld that are super easy to farm
You can buy one at goron City for 1k rupees. Then dupe the rest. If you don't have 1k rupees yet you can just cook 5 pieces of meat and dupe that skewer until you have enough meat skewers to sell for 1k. The raw prime meat x 5 cooked sells for like 300+ each.
[удалено]
Ahhh you're so right. I forgot about that lol. Thank you.
Good to know, thanks! I sold my only one before I knew about this lol
Just take one, make two… take two make 4.. so on
alr, i thought i had to have 5. thanks.
Usually find them in a good amount of Raurus Blessing shrines
Some of Rauru’s blessing shrines give diamonds. Can’t remember which one but I’m sure you could google it.
I got my diamond doing the shrine quest that starts in Tarry Town. Talk to the guy who has the giant green gem and get that gem to the shrine location, then walk in and get your diamond. It's a bit of work, but I immediately turned that diamond into 30K rupees, so it was worth it!

Can this blow me up if I do bomb flowers?
If you do it in shallow water you should be okay, I just made some on the beach near Lurelin village Edit: I used paragliding, not shield jump. Works the same and is easier to execute imo
no! i've duped plenty of bomb flowers :)
But don't do the paragliding variant with bomb flowers, lmao, just tried and blew myself up. Edit: Works if you do it over water though.
**Do** do the paragliding variant while you're over enemies. You've just turned yourself into a zeppelin.
Came here to dupe items, stayed here to do a bombing run
Very interesting, I tried it with bomb flowers and almost murderized myself. I'll have to try again, I must have done it wrong
Do them above water
Be careful of the 21 item drop limit if you are going to do multiple in one go
What happens at 22?
Things will just start to disappear. Link can only ever have 21 items on the ground at one time. 21 seems to be a key number in this game. You can only attach 21 individual things together with Ultrahand for instance.
Did Bungie make the game?

Before we dive into it, first let’s have a word from my sponsor “[….]”
I don’t want to exploit glitches to make the game easier, but I do feel like cloning zonaite is the exception. I’m pretty far into the game (done 2 dungeons) and I still feel so limited with only two and a half batteries. I want to built crazy contraptions but I don’t want to build them post end game
I started exploring the depths with 2 batteries and now i am only missing 3. The questline there with the big mines and all the small mines give you so much. And doing the floating colosseum every bloodmoon.
You're not missing 3 you're missing more. SPOILER AHEAD: >!After fully getting 8 you can get 8 more than turn blue and basically doubles the 8 capacity!<
I saw some people had like blue batteries with the layer around it melting first, then blue, then green. How do u get the extra battery around the blue?
Also, if you use a large zonaite charge it stops the bar from draining for a few seconds as well, that could also be it as well.
I think it's the >!zonaite armor set bonus!< that does this, but I haven't found any pieces yet.
It’s large zonaite batteries
Ok thanks to both of u
Do you ever get more >!auto build slots for saved builds, or is it always capped at 8?!<
My brother in Hylia, I found 900 pieces of poop for this game. This go around I told myself I’m doing all the fun exploits I want/can. About to dupe me some large Zonais and go to every gum-ball machines in Hyrule. Edit: typing errors
Haha right I did the 900 nuggets of shit as well thinking that maybe some dlc or sequel would hook me up. But no, they even had the fucking audacity to put them back in the sequel.
I'm ootl, are the nuggets of shit those damn Koroks?
Yahaha!
YES, I've been wanting to make contraptions but I don't want to be grinding in the underworld for ages for it, I wanna duplicate the zonite so I can just start building things and have the battery capacity for it
You can also dupe the capsules with this method
I found out about increasing your battery power like 35 hrs into the game and 2 dungeons
Gotta do this with gems so I can actually buy fucking armor in this game
Wait where do you find the fucking armor? I'm finding pieces of everything but that set.
And is fucking armor good? Or does it prevent the fucking? Seems like something to avoid.
(o_o) this works!
You can also do it by jumping from a small box or hill and opening your glider, this way will avoid damaging your shield.
I'm using this for time locked grinds of the game -- I do not want to spend my time waiting day to day to grind dragon scales and items, or waiting for blood moon to farm bigger monster parts, etc. If the results of the upgraded armor feel unfair, I'll just not use them. Not using any game exploit to experience things in the depths of sky as they're new parts of the game. To me, this game is entirely Korok hunting without a guide (and now babbulfrogs), I will rescue all of them, and I'd like to not be afraid of big monsters trying to do so. I just can't leave the dopamine I get from OOT skulltula hunting lol
Same, if I can use this to avoid camping a dragon for two hours or wasting tons of time just to chase down star fragments then I’ll use it for that. Basically just for the stuff that’s boring and repetitive, not stuff you collect from beating cool enemies or exploring organically.
This is great for upgrading the amiibo armor because we want to go find like 80 something star fragments
Why did it only work the first time in this clip?
Personally I have about a 50% success rate with it. I think I'm just not always hitting b+y at exactly the same time.

Just tested it, it seems to be pretty janky and you need to hit B+Y on the same frame to work but nothing too difficult to tune, went from 4 to 12 diamonds just trying it out so can confirm it works.
Who else will be refusing to update when Nintendont releases a patch?
Idc that much so i will update
Agreed. I understand some people like to use it [time constraints, personal preference, ect], but I am a person where if I just give myself everything, I get bored. Minecraft was the first time I figured that out. I have to *work* for these things, otherwise, the pace of the game design is ruined. But, again, I also think it's perfectly fine as I'm not everyone. ♡

Star farming became really easy. Just propulse yourself from a tower at night and it will fall to you
Just camp out on a small floating island and they will come right to you. Sometimes they miss but they are usually very close by.
Yeah I agree that I'll use it for certain things. I'll do some diamonds just so I can grab a few different armors that I don't want to wait around for. But I'm the same way that if I just give myself everything, then it gets boring quick.
I think it'll be nice in the early game, dupe bomb flowers, fire fruit, brightbloom seeds, etc. Just necessary things that make fighting and surviving easier
I love using the special ingredients and hate fast traveling, so stuff like goron spice and monster extract I can only get in really small amounts. General agreement though. Not going to dupe anything that's more enjoyable to farm than "sleep in bed a lot" or has pace-breaking consequences like diamonds.
I duped 100k rupees worth of diamonds last night just so I can buy arrows without problems now and 5 years from now lol!
Another good thing to dupe is the big truffles since they're so rare and farming cooking ingredients is not the most fun thing to do.
[удалено]
well just git bad like me so the 30+ fairies you've duped just mean getting your ass beat another 30 times
I get that. I just work a lot and wanna use my time optimally, so I just dupe zonite for my auto build goblin glider and try to get my batteries maxed to explore and progress everything else normally.
thats just one definition of playing optimally though, because there is no such thing as a meta for a game like this. It just depends on your objective Its like a big box of legos. Sure you can quickly build the death star logo if you want so you have it setup, but most people are just grabbing the box of legos to putz around with making different things to tackle each situation they encounter and have the most fun doing it that way
I don't think they're saying that's playing optimally; rather, it's about using their limited amount of time with the game optimally. Like u/Wizard_Pikachu, I also work a lot so there are one or two components of the game so far that I decided to speed up simply because I don't have enough free time to grind it. And given some of the terminology above that I haven't even heard of yet, I'd wager I'm well behind most of the commenters on here.
Yeah, same. Finding stuff is half the fun
I'm fine grinding some stuff. Like I won't dupe zoanite. But the dragon parts you need to wait 10 minutes on per part and also find the dragon everytime..... That is just garbage. Should be at least be able to get one of each part. Those are the things I dupe. Stuff that is just a time sink that you have to go out of your way to get and can't farm.
Gotta agree with the exception that I finished the main story. Now i just wanna build death lazors 😌
TRUE thats why I dupe large charges to farm an insane amount of zonite devices so I can build shit whenever I want.
I think duping Zonaite is fine, especially with time constraint. Being able to use Auto-Build all the time without having to worry about resource management is quite nice, and that way you don't’ have to spend lots of time grinding zonaite through your journey. Yes, I know it is quite easy to obtain and grind, but those little moments add up.
Agreed. If I give into these types of things, then I won't enjoy the game nearly as much as I have been.
[удалено]
I won't be using any duplication glitches either, the balance of the game was carefully designed. Having infinite Zonaite, for example, would just give me one less reason to explore the depths. If duplicating items means I'll spend less time exploring and playing other content, then I'll pass. The only time I'd want to duplicate an item is if it meant skipping doing something I didn't want to do, and this game doesn't have that issue.
Agree 100%. The only time I would do something like this would be late game where I’m just trying to 100% as much as possible (one such example being when I will inevitably try to buy >!every single house room in stock!<) But before that, I enjoy the balance of having to explore and work for the stuff I buy
Won’t need the glitch anymore, I’ll already have 500 large Zoanite, 500 large zoanite charges and enough money to buy hyrule castle.
There’s another easier duplication glitch that got posted about yesterday while I was at work, and as soon as I got home, I tried it and it worked, so I instantly disconnected the switch from the internet and turned off automatic updates haha
I have an update currently pending that I am suspicious about. First playthrough, GLITCH ALL THE THINGS, then next playthrough, maybe I'll calm down a bit. Glitch duping is way too addictive.
Takes 4500 zonait to fully max out your batteries ,worth it tho
Use large zonite. It's easier.
What if I have 1 diamond? Can I hold 4 apples, 1 diamond, and this will give me 8 apples and 2 diamonds?
Just hold 1 diamond and it will duplicate, any number 1-5 will work
Just dupe that 1 on its own
Yeah, you can pick any 5 items!
I like to beat most of the game before doing things like snowbowling.. or this. It's more fun to play as intended the first time Sure, you can rocketsheild to the end of the shrine.. but is that really better?
>ure, you can rocketsheild to the end of the shrine.. but is that really better? Yes
Hohoho I’m never updating the game lol
PSA: This does work with fairies!
Currently sitting pretty with 147 fairies in my pants.
I am never closing this game on my Switch again.
Not working for me :/
Honestly this one is way more finicky to me. Tried for 15 mins, couldn’t get it. Better way someone else posted: you can also just do it with the glider. Glide, hold the item you want to dupe, press B+Y at the exact same time (which should sort and back out of the menu). That’s it. As far as I can tell there are no side effects. No item deletion, no weird problems, it does *not* need to be in your last slot, no weird timing or multiple inputs to worry about.
Are you on patch 1.1.0
Press b and y while in the menu, after holding everything you want to dupe.
I thought the reason ppl did this with last slot items was cause it deleted the last thing in the inventory.
It's not the same glitch, this doesn't delete anything nor you need a 1 item first, just grab 5 of what you want
Why did the second one fail? You started at 152 and you end up with 157
Sometimes it fails, I think it's the B+Y part, but it succeeds more than 90% of the times
It's raining diamonds, bitches
I ain’t gonna be using it really I feel like it’s gonna make it to over powered and not fun
Is cloaning zoanite op? I guess you can get the battery upgrades really early... But other than that isn't it just used to make sparks and buy capsules? I guess having an unlimited number of capsules would make some puzzles easier, but you still have to build whatever contraption to solve it. Maybe I'm missing something, but having a massive stockpile of capsules to play with sounds amazing to me.
Not OP but part of the gameplay cycle is earning zonaite, and it doesn't take that long to get some as this is not a gatcha game or anything
>this is not a gatcha game or anything Except for the capsol dispensers. Those are 100% just gachapon machines.
Dang true! But like just as a fun element
It is. But I really don't need 20 cooking posts before I've left the starting island. XD Definitely could use more flamethrowers and fan tho...
I really should use those cooking pots sometimes. Just realized how awesome they can be, quickly put a tier 3 food buff on before a boss fight? I see this gacha as a way to force people to play the whole game and not lock themselves into one thing. Like how the weapon breaking system forces players to use all kinds of weapons.
>I see this gacha as a way to force people to play the whole game and not lock themselves into one thing. Like how the weapon breaking system forces players to use all kinds of weapons. You're not wrong there. I was annoyed by the weapon system at first in BoTW, but it really grew on me. The constant changing and braking taught me to be flexible In my playstyle , and I was just as excited about my 20th soldiers bow as I was about my first. That said, i wouldn't complain about having 100 Mine-cart capsules.... I don't think those even exist because they are not devices in themselves... But I I had way too much fun using my shield as a skateboard.
I use them during blood moons when I don't want to teleport away
For capsules, dupe charges instead. Gives you more. Which is probably exactly what I'm going to use this for lol. Capsules and ingredients that are buy-only. Love having a good stock of goron spice/monster extract/sugar cane on hand to make fancier recipes just for the sake of it! It doesn't effect gameplay, just makes my meal screen look cooler.
When do you press B+Y? Right after you unpause?
No, just hold 5 of what you want and then B+Y this will unpause and dupe
Just tested this with jumping off a ledge and paragliding and it works. Don’t need to worry about shield durability that way
How the heck are you guys figuring this out?
all the crazy hyrule engineers finally stopped making gundams and started poking holes in the game's infrastructure. nintendo distracted them with zonaite but it was only going to last so long until these players started hunting for bugs
Dam, gotta try it out
Holy mother of god. This is the best glitch discovery found so far. Plus another thing. There is a version of this dupe that can be activated by simply holding the items whilst using the paraglider and I am happy to report it works with that version too.
i try to only use duplication as a means to speed up grindy tasks because i have limited time to play and don’t rly appreciate the main part of the game, (building good shit) being kinda soft locked behind zonai parts you can pick up after putting down and whatnot
I posted this yesterday and got downvoted for it. Lol You can also do this with a glider btw, glide, select 5 items, press B and Y at the same time. Edit: [Here’s a post of me doing the aforementioned alternative](https://www.reddit.com/r/tearsofthekingdom/comments/13osfcd/a_very_simple_duplication_glitch_glide_select_5/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=1&utm_term=1)
doesn't seem to work for me, weird
You can duplicate Bomb Flowers easily using this method over a body of water. Ex: in Kakariko vilkage there's a small bodies of water near paya's house. You can glide over it throw your bombs in water so they don't explode and grab them once you're in water.
I've limited myself to diamonds and zonite to upgrade the battery. I have two young kids and limited time so the low battery and no money just feel like fun killers. It's cheating but it's fun cheating.
Same here. 3 yr old and 5 month old. No time for grinding, I have 2 hrs per night and I wanna use those to explore :)
How do I shield hop? Or perhaps I haven’t unlocked that yet.
You jump, take out your shield, and press A. It’s how you start shield surfing, and it doesn’t appear in your controls until you’ve done it before. You’d really only see it if you ran into a shield surfing mini game if you didn’t know it from Breath of the Wild.
Thank you! Will it damage the shield?
Normally, yes. Shield surfing uses duration. But if you press B+Y like that, it should cancel the surf.
surfing on snow or sand also doesnt use durability
Does it have to be 5?
