This Overpowered Weapons Glitch Changes BOTW 

If you have any questions, go ahead and comment below! I’ll also post some frequently asked questions! Q: I wanted the more powerful Dragon Horn recipes, but how do you get them without arrows? What should I do? A: It’s a little tricky, you’ll have to dedicate some time to grab these separately. The most efficient way is to save your setup file and don’t touch save again, then pick up some arrows, and talk to Impa to spawn dragons. Save Naydra, and find Dinraal and Farosh, and hit their horn (Also, the first dragon part you hit is 100% scale, so you’ll have to hit the first dragon twice). Once you have the three horns, Inventory Slot Transfer just those dragon horns back in time onto your setup file. Just make sure arrows didn’t transfer over with them, then save your game, close and restart. You’ll now have the dragon horns on your setup file to cook with and no arrows still! Q: I did a different method of Weapon Smuggling during the Arrowless Offset, is that okay? A: Yup, either method works the same, this method just picks up the bomb and smuggles at the same time, it saves some time. Q: I want to keep making more weapons, but the weapon I just made is between my meal and my equipment I want to corrupt! I want to keep it too, what do I do? A: Bolson is the answer! You’ll need to get some rupees and some wood first, but once you unlock your house, mount your equipment on the wall of what you want to keep, then you can freely keep working while keeping previous equipment!

The glitches in BOTW are literally just mods of their own at this point, it's insane.

BotW glitches are getting so complex that they sound like those old gaming myths like “If you run around Lon Lon Ranch in OoT 69,420 times then unplug your N64 you’ll obtain the Triforce.”

Hey I just want to say I can tell it took a ton of time and effort into making this so thank you for doing that. Most youtubers probably would’ve made a half-assed video that’s over-complicated and under-explained. But you took the time to make it fully replicable and understandable for the average person. So thank you for doing so!

At this rate, we're going to be able to do literally everything except skip the Great Plateau.

Actually insane. I appreciate the clean and simple explanation of the glitch, especially showing the theory behind it in order to make your own modifiers, resources that people can use, as well as examples.

Amazing video. Hopefully this should answer people's questions about what's going on behind the scenes.

I love that probably one of the biggest reasons these glitches have been found is because Nintendo just can't get the sequel out and so the community just continues to break the original game more and more.

The fact that this series exists, and that people still play this wonderful game, brings me such joy. Thank you for these videos.

I love how immersively Rin explains these glitches. It feels like watching a pannenkoek video!

Wow, I’m not surprised it took this long to figure out this glitch. That is one of the most random and complicated inputs I’ve ever seen for a glitch

Thanks for explaining the technical details like which values transfer, and how they cause different modifiers. Not only is it very interesting, but it makes the glitch a lot easier to understand for me.

Finally a proper yet concise video summarizing and giving clear direction about these glitches. Was tiring watching 4 hour streams to see the short story. Thank you

Wow, this new glitch is insane and super complicated! Thank you for this amazing video! Super helpful and informative!

That's insane, I only wish I had the patience to go through with it 😅Amazing job on the explanation Rin, that was incredibly clear and easy to understand.

I love all the glitches in botw that people discover, they’re like using weird spells to do whatever you want

For anyone that doesn’t know, I find it easier to go towards the right of Hyrule castle to get at least 62 apples, especially if you are going to corrupt the master sword, as it is on the way to the sword

Wow, this is awesome. Technical file/coding descriptions, straight forward visuals and step-by-step guide. There is no room for interpretation or misinformation, and I love it

Somewhere in me I feel glad that there are passionate individuals out here working on this sort of stuff in immense detail. Massive respect!

I really hope you guys go deeper into making a video about the #1 cooking recipe, the one that uses the "dark arts" as they referred. Alot of the recipes use already roasted ingredients and I have no idea how to do the glitch that lets you hold or use those wacky things

Thank you for making this video! Very informative and much appreciated! :D

Great video! I’m new to IST and BOTW in general but one thing i would suggest to any other unfamiliar people trying this glitch specifically, if some of the materials you’re using are creatures (frogs, fireflies, darners, ETC) I would do those first so that if your timing is wrong for selling they don’t run away. had that problem about halfway through the offsets and was 1 short to finish and had to start over

From easy bow of light, to custom weapons modifiers, this year has some INSANE glitches.

Thanks for the lesson Mr. Spot!

I don’t think there’s a video I haven’t watched on your channel 😆 it’s so cool

this is equally awesome and terrifying. thanks for making it so easy to understand!!

Wow, i have seen a lot of speed runners using this glitch and this tutorial/explanation really cleared up my confusion according to this glitch. Thanks for the high effort video as always!

You can collect korok seeds and spirit orbs. You just have to use em all to get them out of your inventory. ie theres no thing thing as an x0 stack.

Thank you so much! This helped out a ton.

Dang, didn't even show off the insane glitched cursor and prompt entanglement exploits! The discovery of IST is so huge. (Not to mention inventory corruption to x999, shield durability transfer, and infinite meals)

The master sword in the thumbnail looks amazing.

The glitches in this game are fun and hard enough to pull of that it doesn’t ruin the gameplay loop

Awesome video!!

I have a question, when you create your first 4 offset slots do you then pick up the ‘check item’ (aka the hearty durian in this example ) or use another check item?

well, the fascinating things about this entire video is simply the Effort Values System of the Pokemon Main series for building the perfect Pokemon with move sets, Effort Values, IVs (back in the day for the Move Hidden Power), and others.

Jeez, the depths of the glitches in this game are pure insanity, and I'm loving every moment of it

It blows my mind that people can figure out stuff like this. Also, in all my playing, I have never seen a "critical hit" modifier.

this is why i love this game feels like ppl still discover something new and fun every month

would be cool if you made a guide on how to get into blue hyrule but a great video nonetheless

A channel called El duende showed how to do it in your main profile, it worked for me.

broken it down makes it seem so user-friendly and easy to use. I can’t wait to start making soft! Thanks again!

The amount of harvesting scares me away from utilizing glitches like this. I don't think I ever had that many meals in my entire playthrough.

this helped me sooo mush thank u

4:44 Actually, you don't have to hold ZL until after you hold materials.

This glitch is so cool it's like a mod and is more forgiving than other glitchs

can't wait for most powerful boomerang videos or most powerful sword videos.

I must thank you so much for this, but I have one last request, how to do this glitch in a file with arrows ? I want to do the glitch in my first account (I am conscious about the risk) and I really hope than that is possible, even better if without the dlc. Thank you again for the explanation

In botw you can do a version of throw sprinting but pulling out and putting away your bow

I don’t care much about the bow honestly but that shield ride looks insane!! I have to try it out for that!

amazing video as usual

what is the recipe needed to make a meal with a binary notation of 01100 or 1100?

Breath of the Wild glitch video that gets into binary code. That's cool.

What happens if you pick up the item droped on the ground when you the sold the item? Will it get rid of the offsets?

Did this on my existing profile, without bugging my menu, it's alot more difficult I would recommend starting an opposite difficulty unless your doing this with the bol

petition for RinHara5aki to open a MasterClass Course on BOTW at this point in time with the amount of explanation he has had over the course of these past few years xD

hey gamespot do you think you could put detailed ways to do the weapon and shield one

Q: So what determines how many the multi-shot is for a bow? (because there are 5x multi-shot bows and 3x multi-shot bows) I understand how the binary of the rupee value determines whether multi-shot is on or not, but what determines how much the multi shot is?

I just managed to do this, and kept reloading to try for my Eightfold Longblade, yet it was the one thing that didn't get corrupted. It took me about a week to pull off, but it's worth it for a 96 dmg boomerang. :)

Does this mean if you do get arrows, you just need to add an extra corrupted slot to the formula?

Max i need more. never stop!

Could u make a video getting the lightbow and giving it more attk. I just got the 135 mastersword. Thanks.

You can just convert a number in decimal to binary directly without going through hexadecimal. It's easier too!

The intro is basically Link in the cutscenes from the past

This glitch is pretty much the ACE glitch from Ocarina of TIme, except for modifying weapons and armor.

2022 just got a whole lot better and insane thanks to these amazing people

BOTW glitching at this point is just bananas and I am absolutely loving it!

So random thought but what if you use a recipe that uses something like a sheikah slate as your transfer modifier?

is it possible on a wii u?

5:30 bruh the clerk was so confused he just stood there

i started a new file for this when i saw linkuses vid but did not know about the no arows is there any way to do it with arows and armor and korok seeds?

If you make a meal with 1 raw whole bird, 2 gourmet meats 1 dragon horn(or star fragment) and 1 apple, you can sell it for 511 rupees to get every single modifier

hmmm... could we say that glitches are some sort of the new cheat code ?! I mean... doing a sequence of actions in a specific context and timing in order of getting access to modified parameters (often at the advantage of the player). Not far off a "secret code" in games intro or even a fatality in Mortal Kombat when it was still "a legend" without published codes etc... Thanks for the explanation !!!!!

Genuinely great video. Although I do have a mild nitpick with how you explained the conversion- it mildly annoys me that you implied that the translation from dec->hex->bin is something the computer does, when the underlying data is binary, and conversion to dec or hex is done to help people conceptualize the quantity. Of course, anybody trying to figure out what modifiers a given value translates to will have to convert from dec to bin(hex stage is unnecessary), but the computer doesn’t actually do any of this. I think a -better- overly verbose and more technically accurate explanation would be this: Computers store all data using binary, which is essentially just a bunch of on/off values, and are written as 0s and 1s. For simplicity*, every item in botw uses the exact same amount of bits(1s/0s), but they’re used to represent different things. The bits used to represent which weapon modifiers are on/off happens to line up with the bits that represent the price of a meal. When a meal‘s data is applied to a weapon, the data is unchanged and the game doesn’t run into any errors, but each digit in the binary number for the price now represents if a modifier is enabled or disabled. Binary numbers work similarly to decimal numbers; in decimal, each digit is 10 times as significant as the digit to the right. In binary, each digit is 2 times as significant as the digit to the right. The decimal number 60 = 4 + 8 + 16 + 32, or 00…00111100 [there are 32 bits reserved for it, so even though only 6 digits are needed, the 24 leading 0s are still stored.] These bits now represent which modifiers are enabled, so just by altering the selling price, you can change the modifiers enabled on your weapon. For example, if you want ‘attack up’, the last digit must be a ‘1’. In binary(and decimal), a number ending in ‘1’ is odd and a number ending in ‘0’ is even, so all odd values give attack up, and even values do not. And,… sure enough, this matches what we see in the game. *I don’t actually know if all items have the same number of bytes, but that’s at least true for weapons and meals. I’d assume that’s true for all items since that would make the most sense from a coding perspective, and I doubt tricks like these could work with variable-width items.

I love to try and corrupt my Bow of Light to its most overpowered state, but can you use the Twilight Bow to farm Dragon Parts to create powerful dishes, as long as you don't have any arrows? And if yes, can you show me how to keep the Bow of Light as well?

So for a Bow with really slow draw spead i need a meal witch heals a lot of hearts right

No matter what I do the fifth item is still there and not grayed out. What did I mess up ?

this helped me understand it so much better

You all need to now combine this tutorial with a hold prompt entanglement video.

When i did IST on my main account, I wanted do try it on the master mode file. But then I saw a 5 shot savage lynel bow and I hav'nt fought any silver lynels. I think I did a type of item transfer

Kids won't spend an hour doing homework, but they'll do this...

I love how nice doing all this is Edit: Nice being easy after you learn the process.

Wait, why is multishot always 10 arrows? It's a modifier that isn't normally in the game, unrelated to 5-shot burst? And how come in the modifier table at 12:30 there's no spot for the game to track the 5 shot modifier?

If I wanted to corrupt the bow of light with attack up and multi shot zoom, how would I get it onto that new file? Would I have to use the method made by el duende before I can do anything else?

I don't understand one part. In part 15, how are u supposed to eat meals which u already ate? or do u have to just skip that step and got to step 2 in

Hey man how do I get the 10-shot burst without the zoom?

Hey question, is there anyway to get dragon horns without using arrows?

It's so entertaining that a few months ago seing someone to around with a bow of light was just a dream and now it's average

How do you steal the bow of light without picking up shock arrows ? I was thinking about using the fairy method

How in God’s name do you discover stuff like this without either being a programmer for Nintendo or having the source code? I can’t wrap my head around even attempting this.

How can you modify the master sword and transfer it to a file that has the master sword obtained already that could also been fully powered?

what about for the bow of light? how do you get it onto the new game file to corrupt it?

for this glitch, how do you transfer the item that you corrupted from the brand new profile to the main account?

So whose video do I watch to see how to make custom modifiers and to retain the bow of light? (Also you didn't detail how these changes positively or negatively affect shields)

How was new game+ found before IST?

it worked thank you so much

After you do the glitch and get the bow can you duplicate it and will it have to same effect

Is it possible to not loose any saved file if you start a new world and do the glitch?

can this be done on your main save so that i dont have to waste anytime going around collecting items

1:46 having korok seeds is fine, just corrupt to 999. having arrows is sort of fine, you need to corrupt them to 500+ and then create extra offset slots accordingly. having sellable armor is fine as long as you sell it right before, or unsellable armor is technically okay if you want to go through the pain of duping 60 armor pieces.

Can you get armor as long as you sell if later to make gathering materials easier?
