Given the incredible scope of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and the many ways in which the game engine can pushed in different directions, it should come as little surprise to learn that it's possible to totally break the game if you so wish.
One Japanese player has discovered that if you use the flying mine cart trick during the "Bird-Man Research" mini-game challenge and you enter the battle with Calamity Ganon, the game goes a bit mad. You're returned to the Tower from which the Bird-Man Research quest commences, but the game world is devoid of NPCs and it's not possible to re-enter the battle with Ganon at Hyrule Castle.
Have you found any other ways to totally break the game? Let us know by posting a comment.

Not... yet...
I laughed so hard when he rapid fire shot that Hinox on Eventide Island.
This has been going round for the last couple of days... I've seen a few people experimenting with what you can do with it.
There's also another one where you can clip out of the final Beast Ganon fight by dismounting your horse against the boundary... causes a similar situation to this.
I have come across a weird glitch where a group of Bokoblins were all sleeping on the floor but doing that dancing animation at the same time. Been trying to replicate it, but no luck so far.
Hahah this article is soo funny.
Lol only possible with the japanese, these things never happen when i play.
This is a crazy glitch. I wonder how easy it'll be to patch it. I wonder if they're going to take out the minecart trick.
Is there anything you CAN'T do with minecarts in BotW? Seriously.
Wow...
Wow.. these exploits are silly!
Posted this in the forums on Saturday.
Some of these folks have waaaaaaaay too much free time on their hands!
@RupeeClock Save Mipha...
I only mildly broke the game. Was fighting some bokoblins on horses (I didn't have my horse with me) and decided to steal one of their horses. I got pelted with arrows and knocked off quickly. I tried to climb back on but mid climbing animation the horse got shot with an arrow and died, and suddenly I inexplicably fell through the ground. Apparently there's water far below the map, but just endless water, I could see up through the ground awkwardly and ultimately had to warp to a shrine because there was nowhere to go other than eventual drowning.
Hahah these glitches are so funny!
The last Link on Earth!
And...why would you want to break the game?
It's rather the same as when you exit the Ganon Boar fight using a trick with the horse. Obviously during these Boss fights, some resources are unloaded.
Yeah, I saw this like a week ago. It's pretty funny!
The Fourth Day glitch for a new generation!
You break a game... for 100 RUPEE!!!??? WTF!!!
Came across a group of 3 Bokoblins dancing around a floating campfire near the ruins just south of the Northern Icehouse. While not exact, I'd say it was hovering about 15-20ft in the air... So not really something I did to break it myself, but did find it amusing
"Have you found any other ways to totally break the game? "
Pick the game's cartridge and smash it with a hammer. Never tried it tough.
Thank goodness there are several saves! Load a older one and everything is a-okay?
By the way: Am I the only one who noticed that the tower also looks a bit off?
@DragonEleven With that certain barrier, you can get in again by doing the same dismount trick again from the other side after calling your horse when you're a decent distance away from the barrier (perhaps the horse teleports slightly closer to you when you call it from a great distance, putting it outside the barrier? Just speculating...).
