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. | |||

=== Zuggle === | |||
{{Glitch|version=1.1.2|patched=Yes|name=Zuggle|video={{Youtube|q6FyjPM4P14|350px}}|prerequisites=Have access to the map rune and weapons/shields|instructions=Stand in front of a wall (can be terrain or objects that can be manipulated by Ultrahand) with Link's back up to it. Make sure he is positioned so that when attempting to drop a weapon or a shield will result "You can't take that out here." message. This is so when attempting the glitch, the item will be re-added back into Link's inventory once the glitch is complete. | |||
# Equip the desired weapon/shield you want to duplicate. | |||
# Open the rune menu, and select the map rune. | |||
# Let go of the L button to close the menu, and immediately mash on the D-pad to go to the weapons/shield mini-menu. If the map screen opens, then the timing is too late. | |||
# Go to the weapon/shield you have equipped, and drop it. Then as the menu closes, immediately mash the D-pad to re-open the menu again. | |||
# Equip another weapon/shield. Then let go of the D-pad | |||
# The map screen should open. Now directly go to the inventory menu from the map screen by pressing plus. | |||
# Now drop your equipped weapon. | |||
# Unpause the game, and if done properly, a message "You can't take that out here." is displayed, and Link will now have multiple items on him at the same time. He will have multiple melee weapons or shields stuck on his hand even when none of these are equipped|notes=* The "drawn state" of the weapon/shield being held before performing the zuggle glitch will remain stuck (stuck on Link's hand or back). This can be bypassed by removing and re-equipping it in the inventory menu. | |||
* If there are multiple weapons drawn out at the same time, and is used on an enemy or a damagable object, the game will register each of them striking, effectively stacking the damage. | |||
* This glitch can be performed multiple times, further stacking the items on Link. However if a certain number of times have been performed (10-20 times), parts of Link's model after teleporting or switching armor will start to freeze (arms and torso T-posing, body parts missing, etc.), and several animations performed by Link will stop working properly (e.g. Using the [[Steering Stick]], mounting on [[Hyrule_Compendium#Creatures_2|on any ridable creatures]] such as [[horses]], [[Lynel]]s, and [[Mineru]] will cause Link to fall through the ground, sword swinging animations always performs the quadruple slash on the first swing etc.), as well as the camera zipping when using the ultrahand/autobuild. | |||
* If Link drops the equipped item from the menu, all the items on Link's model from the zuggle glitch will drop at once.|effect=Duplicates equipped weapons/shields on Link's model.}} | |||

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. | ||
