Some of the glitches relating to dropping weapons, shields, and zonai devices is due to a way how the game handles dropping items into the overworld from the inventory menu (this also includes the mini menu). When Link drops an item from the pause menu and unpauses, across multiple frames, the game attempts to find a place to spawn the item without placing it inside a solid object or terrain. When the game is then quickly unpause and paused again and another equipped item is dropped, this interrupts the process handling the placing the first object on the map. | |||

While many of these glitches have been tested by editors, we cannot promise that these glitches won't harm your game data or game console. We ask that you please read the Glitch Disclaimer Notes before attempting any of these glitches.
The following is a large list of all the known glitches that can be performed in Tears of the Kingdom. Each glitch will come with instructions on what the glitch does, how to perform the glitch, and if the glitch has been patched (i.e. fixed) or not.
Duplication Glitches
Some of the glitches relating to dropping weapons, shields, and zonai devices is due to a way how the game handles dropping items into the overworld from the inventory menu (this also includes the mini menu). When Link drops an item from the pause menu and unpauses, across multiple frames, the game attempts to find a place to spawn the item without placing it inside a solid object or terrain. When the game is then quickly unpause and paused again and another equipped item is dropped, this interrupts the process handling the placing the first object on the map.

Instructions Place them near the wall, stand on top of one of the rocks, and do the Save/Load Duplication glitch with any weapon. Load the autosave from the prologue. You'll find the weapon you dropped on the stairs leading to the Ganondorf cutscene. Pick it up to access to the inventory. Now, do the Save/Load Duplication glitch again with the Master Sword here, and load the file from inside the shrine. The glitched Master Sword will now be present near the Fire Fruit trees, and can be collected like any other weapon. | ||

Instructions 1021, -2261, -0156 Equip a multishot bow Then fuse the material you want to clone to an arrow, and shoot it upwards into the tunnel you came from. If done correctly, the arrow should despawn mid flight, leaving the materials hanging in mid air. Just go over to them to make them fall to the ground, and collect them afterwards to get as many copies of that material as arrows shot using the bow. | ||
Notes
|
In both Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, watching a memory causes the game to advance by 1 frame, despite being in a pause screen. This causes things in the overworld to perform actions: Enemies moving and/or attacking, NPCs moving around, etc. Certain actions like cutscene, triggers and Link taking damage are disabled since such events should not occur during a pause screen.

Instructions Then, take the enemy's HP, and divide it by the number of damage your weapon does, taking into account any bonuses added by food or armour, if there's a decimal, round up. Watch that many memories and unpause, and the enemy should drop dead the second Link exits the menu. Each time the memory is being watch, a damage is registered to the enemy. The same can be done with a bow and arrow by shooting an arrow at an enemy, pausing right before it hits and watching the relevant number of memories. This will let Link defeat almost anything with a single arrow, provided he watches another memories in the process. | ||
