    Looks Like Tears Of The Kingdom’s Best Rupee Glitch Is No More

    [ad_1]

    The most recent The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom patch seems to have done away with a few popular glitches, a Reddit post suggests. Nintendo issued update 1.2.0 on July 5 in order to “improve the gameplay experience,” it wrote in its patch notes, and to burn through your infinite money reserves, apparently.

    “The autobuild frozen meat glitch was patched,” a Reddit user said. “Good thing I turned off automatic updates on my Switch a few days ago.”

    As Kotaku senior editor Luke Plunkett previously reported, the “frozen meat glitch” allowed you to “trick the game into giving you loads of valuable resources by turning big hunks of meat into a weapon, then taking that weapon with you to the snow.” That’s the short of it.

    The elaborate process involved attaching meat onto sticks and using “autobuild to ctrl+c, ctrl+v until you’ve built 21 meat clubs (the most the game can remember and place at any one time) and fused them all together,” Plunkett writes. Then, once you’ve retreated to and rested in a snowy area with your meat, it would freeze. You’d wake up to a beautiful bundle of frozen meat, or a 39,960 rupee value.

    Not anymore, though. Say goodbye to your grill plans.

    A ToTK duplication glitch might be gone, too

    Update 1.2.0 also seems to remove the Tobio’s Hollow glitch, which let players duplicate their items in the late-game area Tobio’s Hollow Chasm.

    Officially, 1.2.0 makes one general update and a few bug clean-ups. According to Nintendo’s patch notes, players who downloaded the update can expect these changes:

    • “Starting the game from within certain articles released on a specific Switch News channel (accessed via the HOME Menu) [will give players] a number of in-game items.”
    • “Downloading the update will allow players [experiencing bugs] to proceed past […] points” in quests like “A Mystery in the Depths” and “Lurelin Village Restoration Project”
    • “Fixed an issue preventing fairies from appearing under certain conditions when they originally should have appeared.”
    • “Fixed an issue preventing the meals provided by Kiana of Lurelin Village from changing under certain conditions.”

    The Switch News channel update seems intriguing, though it will unlikely be a true replacement for 21 pieces of free meat. But while Nintendo is aggressive in bandaging every possible glitch, bug, and exploit, glitch hunters are determined. And Zelda has more secrets to offer, I’m sure.

  • Nintendo Patches Tears Of The Kingdom’s Duplication Glitches

    Nintendo Patches Tears Of The Kingdom’s Duplication Glitches

    Nintendo just updated The Legend Of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom to version 1.1.2, and while the company’s official patch notes don’t mention it, users are reporting that many of the game’s notorious (and handy!) duplication glitches have been removed.

    As we’ve reported, there have been a few ways found for players to get easy access to loads of resources and items in the game and even stack power-ups, but it appears that at least some of those are now gone as part of the patch.

    Nintendo’s official notes only mention:

    Ver. 1.1.2 (Released May 25, 2023)

    Audio Bug Fixes

    – Fixed an issue where the sound would play at an extremely high volume in certain conditions.

    Additional Fixes

    – Fixed an issue in the main quest, “Camera Work in the Depths”, where players could not progress beyond a certain point. Downloading the update will allow players to proceed past that point.

    – Several issues have been addressed to improve the gameplay experience.

    Anyone used to Nintendo’s vague patch notes won’t be surprised by this, but that “Several issues have been addressed to improve the gameplay experience” line can sure cover a lot of ground.

    Users are reporting in this Reddit thread that various duplication glitches are no longer working, while our own internal testing has found that the paragliding one in particular has also been affected.

    Because more of these glitches were being discovered seemingly every day, we don’t yet know if all of them have been patched out, or if there are still some lying undiscovered in the game waiting to be exploited. But if using these workarounds has made life easier for you, and you want to keep doing it, you might want to disable auto-updates for your console/game if you still have time to do it (if you hadn’t already by the time you’re reading this you might be too late, sorry!)
