Tears of The Kingdom is Completely BROKEN! (Infinite Durability, Noclip, Corruption and MORE!) 

All aboard the Honkai: Star Rail! Download here: hoyo.link/c7RmCOAd Stay tuned for Part 2 where we cover even more glitches and tricks that have been found. And just like the last video, a FAQ is further down in this comment that I will update: Q) What version was this on? A) The glitches shown works on version 1.0, 1.1, 1.1.1 - Unfortunately 1.1.2 Patched these glitches. Research is being put it to see if a new setup on 1.1.2 works atm. Q) I am struggling with the Weapon Duplication, any advice? A) The thing's that you can try to do differently are: Swap the weapon you are trying to duplicate/transfer over, change what is fused to it, or drop the 2nd weapon after the unpause/pause, then load the save. If neither of these things work, you're timing is simply off and you can try to either be faster, or slightly slower on the pauses. Q) I can't get the Weapon to drop into the corridor, any advice? A) First, make sure the position is correct. You want to be roughly at the height I am at in the video, and at that position. You can try to use a different rock setup if you cannot get it with mine, the rocks are not important to the setup, only the position value is. So if using a different lineup let's you have about the same height and position, that works too. This is just what I found to be the most consistent. I have also heard that certain people switched the type of weapon that they were using, and then it fell into the right spot and not out of bounds, so you can also try that. Q) I did the Zuggle Glitch but I lost my fuse after leaving the Shrine, any idea? A) We are not 100% sure about this one, I was able to leave the shrine just fine, certain other people also were, while some people said it lost their fuse. My guess is something related to how the game loads or unloads the "donation weapon" on the ground that we used to fuse the Master Sword, or something with Shrines, or what is equipped when you leave? Some people have said that after fusing the Master Sword, before leaving the shrine, that saving, returning to main menu, then reloading the save makes it permanent. Like it said, this one is a bit more strange. You should never lose the inf durability Master Sword, but fusing things to it seems to be a bit strange.

As a game developer, I love those video step-by-step instructions for reproducing programming errors

for anyone having trouble on getting the timing for the weapon transfers: when you unpause and pause again, make sure you are not pausing *too* fast. the timeframe for pausing again starts when the weapon *appears* after dropping it. if you unpause and pause again, and don't see the weapon behind link, then it won't work and you need to try again.

I don’t see the problem here… a well crafted Zelda game with an easy mode

This glitch is hilariously cool because its like link went back in time to get his sword before ganondorf can destroy it.

The most busted glitch in the game: pausing and unpausing

One thing I’ve noticed playing this game, the menu for loading prebuilt structures actually takes enough time to load to swap into another power. I’ve once swapped to ultra hand before the menu popped up. I quit out before I could fool around in it but I feel like something weird might come from it.

I love how we went to "well, everything got patched" to "here's noclip and infinite bugged out master sword" in a week

The glitch hunters got very good at their job from botw I see

Just did this and wanted to add an addendum If you zuggle the MsgNotFound sword you'll notice you will have the glitched version and the regular version. Dropping the regular version will "break" the glitched one, turning it back into the regular one, from my experience.

The dupe glitch at the start required you to drop the second weapon after you paused and unpaused before you reload or nothing will happen

At least this game is super broken in a way that will never affect a casual gameplay, and only if you know exactly what you're doing (unlike literally every other big game to come out this year)

I think it was obvious that this game was going to be UNBELIEVABLE broken

When your doing the master sword glitch you can also save inside the shrine and use the autosave that happens after you beat the bats that attack you it works just about the same as doing it the way your doing it. It is also removes the risk of losing your main save if the game decides to autosave a lot during the new game.

Just a little tidbit for anyone having trouble getting the Master sword to respawn in your auto save(the shrine save), it is possible to pause and unpause too fast, I have noticed that whenever I got the sword to drop vertically behind link it would respawn but if I did it too fast the master sword would be at a diagonal angle and it would never respawn in the shrine.

These are really cool glitches so far. Hopefully we get some cool movement glitches too. I want to see Link get launched across the map in crazy ways in this game as well.

If someone has trouble transferring a weapon to the start of the game, try to ultrahand 2 boulders on each other instead of 1 boulder and 1 stone. You get more height by doing so, making it easier for the weapon to spawn.

it only took a week but here we are again, a sandbox of glitches in the zelda games.

Linkus, me and my brother were playing and we discovered a new glitch! In the quest where you save the trumpet player from the hole, if you start climbing the wall before the screen goes dark, you will lose the ability to fall, and can only go up. Falling off of something just keeps your movement speed until you hit a new object on the same elevation if that makes sense. Kind of like the glitch where you pick up a bow and a pot and float, but much easier. If you start climbing again though, it gets disabled. Hope this helps!

I love how breath of the wild was completly broken underneath the hood, and then they patched all of our glitches, only for us to find EVEN more powerful glitches. Still, I'm super excited for movement tech, that's what made breath of the wild speedruns cool.

For anyone having issues with the duped sword and reverting damage; Save your game immediately after you pick up the fused master sword, and then reload. This will despawn the item you're discarding, Then, youll have a 30 dmg, and whatever you fused with. Drop (or keep) the 30, if drop, save and reload again, (to discard the duped sword) and then fast travel out. Your fused damage will stay. Edit: the fused item durability is *not* infinite for gibdo bone or ancient blade, they will still break after one hit, reverting your sword back to MsgNotFound

halfway through the video so far, beautiful explanations! thanks for showing off these glitches, it was great seeing them develop live

If anyone is having trouble with the weapon not dropping high enough in the corridor, I tried using the chest in the corner of the shrine instead of the small rock and its working really well

8:14 if you go right and break the pillar instead of going left and grabbing the small rock. You can grab a chest which if you flip upside-down is both a slightly higher platform when fused but also mostly stable ground. It seems to still slide link but it's way slower, to the point where it's almost unnoticeable

Something I will note, when you fuse the infinite master sword, make sure you don't have it equipped when you enter a loading screen. If it is equipped when doing so, will cause the sword to reset.

So, when pause+unpause+pause, I think you need to make sure you can see the item you dropped during the second pause. It only worked for me when I could see the weapon I dropped. Like, it has to be off your body. Sorry if my explanation sucks, might try to explain better in the morning

use a weapon with a big hit box like a cobble crusher, works way more consistent (at least when i tried) edit: you can find a cobble crusher at the bokoblin camp with the one silver bokoblin and two black bokoblins at the bottom of death mountain (just head east from area with all the building stuff, it should be the first small camp on the outer edge of death mountain)

What an absolute god send from the community ❤ thanks Linkus for show casing and spreading the info with us! Can’t wait for part two!

An ultimate tip for anyone else not being able to transfer the first weapon to the start of the game, let’s go higher. I combined the three boulders forming a triangle and placed it diagonally where it’s shown on the video, then on top of that put the small rock to have somewhere to fit nicely as the video describes. Got it first try after this, hope it helps you too. ❤ Just imagine a pyramid of boulders with a stone at the top.

As u see in the video, the weapon is stuck in the wall for a second. Some weapons glitch out of the map instrad of inside. So be quick if you see the weapon and pick it up. Some weapons shape isnt very good for the Transfer in this position, so try different weapons. Also, u want to see the weapon u transfer behind ur back after u double + on that rock.

The one thing about the smuggled Master Sword is it doesn't seem to get the double damage bonus that the regular Master Sword gets against glooms enemies (i.e. most thing in the depths and Phantom Ganon) so it feels much better to just dupe the champion weapons or Royal stuff with Silver Lynel Blades for fighting anything stronger than a Black Bokoblin.

I was waiting for this. I knew thiis would be absolutely crazy. I'm sure that you'll come up with some insane speedrun tactics for this game as time goes on, as well. Best of luck to you! :)

I need to hurry up and beat this casually so I can do all this busted stuff without feeling somewhat guilty.

Release the 2 part asap, this content is goated Linkus, you do a great job explaning the glitches

Does anyone else have an issue of the fused master sword reverting back to the msgnotfound, and then having two 30 damage msgnotfounds?

I have an answer for the Q) I did the Zuggle Glitch but I lost my fuse after leaving the Shrine, any idea? A) If you teleport to the same shrine in the overworld while inside the shrine, the Fuse will stay 100% of the time. Then save, and it will be permanent.

Clear explanation, you made easy to accomplish something quite complex for the average user like me. Great content

absolutely perfect walk through, worked like a charm, thank you sir

Hyped for part 2! Linkus is the best glitch explainer

for some reason the duplication glitch does not work for me?

having an infinite durability master sword feels so right, it's how the game should've been on release.

Thank you for the easy explained glitches and steps to reproduce them. The weapon transfer between saves was relatively easy to do but the fusing weapons glitch was a bit of trial & error, since both the position and the pause speed can screw it up. But after about 5 attempts I saw my master sword and the other weapon held at once and I knew I succeeded. Thank you! I now have an infinite durability 85 damage Silver Lynel Master Sword. :D

Awesome pacing in the commentary, thank you my friend

Wow, that Master Sword glitch was so unbelievably easy! What a fantastic prize 😁 This will be super helpful. Thank you Linkus for the tutorial, and thank you Zelda glitch hunting community!

it keeps getting better lmao

Wow. This actually worked perfectly. I’m elated! Earned a sub. Thanks so much

For anyone struggling with the sword clipping through the map, I advise just sticking two of the large boulders together, then position the boulders at an angle against the wall so link is higher up. (be warned the weapon may roll down the stairs into the cutscene door though)

What I love is the fact that the only way to get these glitches is if you are trying to get them. So there is no way you get them in a casual playthrough.

For those who are unsure if it's still possible to get the glitched master sword, I just managed to do it after a good number of attempts. The small Boulder is optional, and a spear works great as well.

I was having trouble with the master sword smuggle and learned it seems to be possible to double pause too quick and also fusing two double handed swords (cobble crusher to a royal claymore) helped me pick up the sword even with imperfect alignment

Amazing job with this video. The explanation is informative as always!

Finally got it to work. I went ONE step higher than you did on the dark staircase. I went to drop the Sword and when it was VERTICAL behind Link, I loaded the other save for the shrine. Lo and behold it was there, resting in the water.

It's a shame that most of this is probably going to get patched. But I suppose that is the price to pay for finding a crazy glitch like this early on.

Love how crazy this has gotten already, looking forwards to how things develop

So excited for part 2, thank you for showcasing these glitches :)

Took me a while to get it, but finally managed to get it done on my main save. 85 damage infinite durability Master Sword makes me incredibly happy.

So, ive done the "zuggle" as instructed several times now and it works but the normal master sword stays in my inventory and when i leave the shrine the fused master sword just becomes... another normal master sword. Now i have 3 bootleg master swords. What am I doing wrong?? Lol

I can confirm that at the time of writing it does still work. It took me quite a few tries to get the weapon into the intro sequence, and then a few tries to get the msgnotfound to the shrine. But it does work. Stand correctly and time it correctly (version 1.1.1)

Thank you so much for these breakdown vids!! The material dupe glitch has been a GODSEND for upgrading all my armor sets. May just have to try an infinite durability master sword out 🤔

Hey linkus whenever I try to do the master sword trick, the item I’m transferring into that new game just is not appearing. Any tips?

I followed the instructions and everything worked as intended, until I left the shrine. At that point I had 2 msgnotfound in my inventory, both not fused, and was missing the original stick and lynel horn.

Thanks for such a great step by step tutorial! The second trick took me a few times but I got it, not as high damage as yours but it's nice having a reliable 56 damage weapon to help me out :)

This is awesome, great vid Linkus!! Did something happen to your stream last night? I cant find it on twitch, just the one from wednesday

Okay it's fun to have infinite durability + fuse on MS but since you can drop it can you have a buff on it too like a +10 with the octo ?

For the infinite durability glitch, can that mess up your save?

when youre sending the master sword back to your main save make sure of 2 things 1- when you pause unpause make sure you can see the sword appear. if you pause too fast without it dropping then it wont worl 2- if it doesent transfer over its prob bc it gets stuck in the floor and noclips out. try jumping when you drop it in the new game so it spawns a little bit higher in your main save

Thanks for explaining the way the glitches work. It makes more sense what's going on and that makes them easier to do.

For anyone wondering both glitches still work in 1.1.1 but the dupe is slightly different. You need to do it as normal but after pausing/unpausing you need to drop the second item as well and then equip a third item so you need to dupe two weapons into the start to get the msgnotfound

Oooo cant wait for the speedruns

You can still pick up the item you drop for fusing the fake master sword. Once you dropped the fused sword and weapon, you can pick up the other weapon FIRST, then pick up the master sword. I found that it works more often if you do use it, and gives the master sword a cool effect of what item you used

This is very awesome. Thank you so much!

When I leave the shrine, it resets my fused Master Sword to 30 damage.

Do I need to delete the patch data or anything like that? Nothing seems to work for me?

Quick note when you fuse a item the glitch master sword with zuggle don't leave the shrine, from the door otherwise it will unfuse warp to somewhere like another shrine or Lookout landing, or any fast travel point to be exact and it will keep the item fused to it entering a shrine will unfuse it so keep that in mind, you won't be able to get more hearts for stamina containers because you can't get more lights of blessing😊

you are absolutely the best at explaining things ❤

Interesting that after fusing at 17:11 it still says unter Master Sword: [30] Gnarled Long Stick + [37] Silver Boss Bokoblin Horn So it got the damage value [30] from the Master Sword but kept the name of the Gnarled Long Stick. Amazing what technology can do these days.

Doing this immediately, I've always hated weapon durability.

Thank you so much! Tried another video on the zuggle fuse and it never worked. 1st try with yours!

9:25 something about this, if you see that the weapon appears behind you when you repause sometimes it won't work, for a 100% chance that it will work you would not want the weapon to appear in the world

I may give this master sword a shot. I do not mind durability too much, but it is as a pain as it is in the original to me. I just hope I do not fail too hard at it with my fat fingers. Practice weapon duplication first and see how that feels. I already use the Yiga special move for mining because I am tired of running out of weapons in the depth lol. Always end up with like a stick or two left and then bam Obsidian Frox or whatever up my ass. Can't wait for the movement tutorials. I want to sweep the sky islands before too long. I can use machines but they do not always work sometimes lol. I may do both. Hope you find a way to clone a stack of items at once lol. One diamond at a time for a few rupees is a pain, or for some bomb flowers.

I was watching your speedrun Breakdown, where the guy used some of these glitches, and as soon as he showed them, i wanted to use them in my Zelda save. And then... Oh God, you made a video about it! Thank you so much btw, your videos are pretty cool :)

Kinda cringe you can’t fuse msgnotfound to anything tho without glitches Edit: just remembered that the master sword does a *BONK* to specter ganon (the guy that spawns after killing the gloom hands, the name in Italian is spettro ganon which when translated to English is specter ganon so sorry if I got the name wrong) and thus probably does 2x dmg so am gonna check if the msgnotfound sword does the same

the master sword glitch reminds me so much of back in time glitch in zelda tp

Tips on weapon duping from my personal experience Stand with link facing the side of the camera -- the weapon drops behind him, so this makes it easier to see whats happening. You want to unpause then pause again right when the weapon apepars behind him. After you pause again, if you cant see the weapon or if its partially transparent, you paused too fast. If the weapon has started to fall even slightly (hard to tell when facing forward, but MUCH easier to see when facing the side) you paused too late. Obviously this is all too fast for reaction speed, but after using that to judge myself, i can rpetty reliably get a succesful dupe in 2-3 attempts (plus it helps me not have to waste time loading on failed attempts)

It worked! You guys are brilliant! Thank you so much! You deserve a like and sub!

Hey mate I appreciate you're work (:, just something that I noticed about the duplication glitch, i found it more consistent if you are in cramped place, like the village shelter, & also if u drop several items in sight there; I'm in no means a glitch expert nor have pro gammer hands, but in there I'm able to pull it off 7ish/10 times vs 1-2ish/10 when I was in a shrime... I feel it widens just a little the window for the + + to work... Hope it helps!

addition, if you do the zuggle first part normally with any weapons you can duplicate them

I'm gonna have to come back to this since I havent beaten it yet, but the sound of an infinite durability Master Sword is incredibly tempting

For the first weapon I used a royal halberd with the rusty claymore in the shrine, stacked two rocks and a chest to the left of the line in the wall, the halberd was actually stuck in the ceiling beneath hyrule castle, but I was able to pick it up and duped msgnotfound first try back to my main save

After practice and practice for 2 hours finally made it thanks man :)

9:30 - you need to drop the second weapon you equip as well and then load the save

love the Tears of The Kingdom content

For those on emulator yuzu has a tas function allowing you to essentially macro if you struggle to unpause and pause quickly

So I did the zuggle thing to fuse to the legendary MsgNotFound (used royal claymore + silver lynel horn) and it worked, but when I left the shrine I had two unfused MsgNotFounds instead. Did I do something wrong or is it a weird quirk?

i remember being in the speedrun server when zuggle was discovered, it was that popular we had to make a thread to talk about zuggle because it was flooding the chat and people couldnt talk about any other glitches lol

Great, first we had Ascend, and now we have a way to use Descend through the floor!

Woooot, infinite sword with light dragon horn. Never breaks, and it restores 1 HP on each hit. Super handy for exploring without having to worry about resource management.

while doing the master sword fuse glitch i got a different glitch i havent seen before, the weapon i equiped last became stuck on the master sword like it was meant to but without dropping that last unfused item and was perminately stuck on it. when i swtiched back to the msg not found master sword it dropped the weapon it was stuck to and when i opened my inventory i had another master sword

Thank you. You explained things far better than blaines and whilst it took a while, I now have a sword. Which is good too considering I lost my original game and had to start over, but this will help so thanks again. The only issue I have, is that it doesn't shoot lasers. 😢

I wonder if they'll make the repause delay after unpausing longer, since that seems to be the source of most of the glitches.
