Poll: Will You Be Updating Your Copy Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom?

Turned off auto-updates. I haven't used the dupe glitch, but if I put 400 hours into the game and don't feel like grinding macguffins anymore I feel like I should at least have the option of using it.

I’m not into cheating in games, so…

Already updated.

Never needed to use the dupe glitch.

I wasn’t interested in duplicating items since it messes up the intended balance of the game. Plus, I’m sure at some point in the future we’ll discover another way to duplicate items.

It got auto-updated and frankly I don't care. I haven't used the glitch anyway.

I updated because I don't care. Updating games to remove exploits is not new and is not the controversy the internet wants to make you think it is.

Why should I have to suffer because all the news outlets decided to cover the glitches and thus got it brought to Nintendo's attention. Hell no am I updating until I'm done goofing off.

Yeah, I don't see it as a huge cheat in a single-player game. Sometimes the grind is just brutal. I have cloned some precious items that I have, though I am so early I don't have much variety - they will at least be good for cash. It's not that different than getting a bunch of stuff from amiibos, which I also do. I have not updated yet, but it is asking me to. I figure I will at some point.

Might update it soon.
Do genuinely feel the duplication glitch was needed to make the game flow better, enjoying it a lot more now. But now I've got going could do without.

I haven't used a duplication glitch since like first gen Pokemon. Lol. Didn't even know there was a glitch in TotK, TBH. Did not use it and updated. Not much lost for me.

Didn't really bother with it. Seems like a nice little shortcut though if you want to upgrade your gear but honestly I don't mind running around the world, taking different routes through the same areas and finding new stuff in the process.

Honestly love the game but grinding is my least favourite part. I see using the duplication glitch is the same as using YouTube videos to figure out shrine puzzles. Like will I watch them beforehand? No. But am I going to waste three hours on a shrine when I only have a few hours to play each night? No.

I’d you’re a purist, fine. But most of this armour I fully upgraded last game, I see no reason I should t speed through what I’ve already done before.

This game is gonna get so much new content rolled out over the next year or more. I dunno seems like a silly thing to miss out on for an exploit.

Where's the option for "No because I haven't actually closed the game since launch day"?

@everynowandben i love your avi

I never even used or cared for the glitch so even though it auto updated i would have updated it regardless.

I let it update and will continue to do so.

I haven't had any desire to dupe any items in my 55 hours of play and don't imagine I ever will really care to do so.

No shade to anybody who wants to do it. Doesn't make a difference to me, it just isn't a thing I'm interested in doing.

I update everything ASAP. It’s like an OCD thing or something 😅

I disabled auto updates so I still have the dupe glitch on my game. I can see why people don’t want to use it but it saves the hassle of looking or grinding for materials

Legitimately don't understand the issue some people have with the game's "economy" as I've never ran into a situation where I couldn't afford something in the game or didn't have random gems or meals to sell for loads of rupees.

Just another outcry from people who don't know what they're doing, sounds elitist, probably is elitist, but this seems like an...ahem

Skill issue.

I had to throw out my new zelda totk theme switch because I forgot to turn off auto update(kidding, but refuse to play totk on it for now). Luckily I have my old switch with auto update off. Have the old switch on 1.1.1. Once I beat the game I will duplicate all my items to at least 100 or 200 each. Then be ready for the the dlc to drop in the near future. Eventually I will replay the game legit.

I will always be a trainer activated kind of person. I don't normally get much joy from playing games as they are intended. I like doing stuff my own way. Of course I don't play online games with this mindset. But single player games I like a little bending of the rules.

Not until I've got a proper stock of a few rare-to-get items.

When you can make a crazy amount of vehicles why do you need a glitch for more fun? I just saw something release mini drones from a flying machine. I am trying to see how to do that. Not some item glitch.

@Dom_31
For most I don't think dupingis a money issue but rather because the grind to catch butterflies or mob drops that are on the rarer side can take a while. Basically they dupe to upgrade their clothes with less hassle.

I never had any intention of using it anyway, so I don’t mind that my game updated.

I updated when prompted because my whole game experience wasn’t depending on exploiting glitches. I don’t need instant gratification just to get endgame gear at the quickest possible moment as if I have a deadline to be done with this game in under a month. Not to mention these patches DO other things besides getting rid of the exploits.

Fixing quest bugs in latest version alone to me is more valuable to have then keeping exploits available in older versions.

Not to mention you are gonna HAVE to update at some point when Tears gets the inevitable dlc. You just know they are not gonna miss an easy opportunity for more $$$ and that definitely won’t be worth missing for glitches.

I'm not going to update until they add content. I haven't abused the glitch yet, but I'd like to have the option to dupe zonaite or charges for building crazy stuff easily. Also, I'm lazy and will likely use it to upgrade my armor

I've updated it as I've never felt the need to duplicate items anyway, same as with BOTW I just mark any resources I need on the map and you basically trip over zonaite in the depths, even star fragments are easier now as they often spawn when you dive from the sky. Plus on top of that there's still a couple of easy dupe glitches in the new patch if you really want to use them

Unless the glitches are funny/entertaining (like Smash Ultimate's famous infinite assist trophy glitch), I usually don't care too much about them.

So far the updates haven't impacted my ability to aimlessly wander. Carry on updating, Ninty.

Just let us import all the items we had in BotW and we will be good, including whole armor collection and upgrades.

Already found it and upgraded it once. Did Link lose everything?

I don't use glitches... glitches are like cheats... what's the point to use item duplication I a game about "explore and find"? It ruins the game.

I don't think about these things. Game says there's an update; I update. And I don't know what I'd use any duplication glitch for anyway. I like running around and collecting stuff and I like improvising when I'm out of items. Any duplication glitch would take away from what, for me, is core gameplay.

I never understood how it works, so... update away!

I forgot to turn off auto-updates so I'm stuck on 1.1.2. But there will be more dup glitches. It's still early in the game for me I don't mind restarting if it comes to that. I'm still in a blind mode so no looking up glitches or how to do things anyways

There's enough to do without the tedium of always having to gather yet another 10 -30 of ______ every fifteen minutes. I played the heck out of botw, never used a duplication glitch. The bombs rune was just enough to get by if you ran out of things. This time around, im 100 hours in and Im over gathering stupid bomb flowers or running out of rock smashers, gathering zonaite, or breaking good weapons every other battle, or backtracking across the map to find a rock octorock to fix a decent weapon, or running out of rockets. Im having a great time and I'm never updating.

I tried the glitch once with a Hylian Tomato out of pure curiosity, thought “wow cool” and never tried it again. Auto-updated.

I don't really care much for the duplication glitches, and the game updated automatically for me anyway.

My girlfriend and I have tested the glitches for fun and it was cool that it actually works! We don't use the glitches that much but we don't have many hours to play each day now that we have a kid and jobs to go to, so it doesn't bother me if we get a few extra items instead of using hours on grinding for resources.

I play with the game's rules so duping is out of the question for me never looked up how it works even. But I don't really see any point for going ham grinding for stuff either, level 3/3/2 Knight Armor which I immediatedly had 70 hours in when I finally figuredbout how to unlock the armor upgrades was more than enough defense for the rest of the game.

And besides I already beat the game.

Rolling with no update for the foreseeable future. It’s not even just about the rupees. It’s too much fun duping bombs and high level monster parts.

To the high horse folks, it’s a single player game and the only ones being hurt are the ones using it (not really because it’s fun).

@Zach777 Yeah, no kidding. I’m still trying to figure out how the Zora helm got in a chest in a floating island.

I’ve not updated because I feel that the weapon durability is ridiculously low and really just a means of Nintendo cheesing out of developing a decent inventory system. Also, materials grinding is the least enjoyable part of the game and doesn’t add anything to the side quests or story elements.

I only stared playing the game today so it was only today that I put the cart in and got my first update.

Either way I’ll always prefer to play fully patched, bleep fun killing exploits.

I used it to get 20 big hearty truffles then updated. I have never used them. But they’re there when I want.

Updated as I'm not an entitled cheat with no patience.

I'm just playing it how it's meant to be played, I guess. I'll be playing it for years, so I can take my time.

Id like the game to be played as intended. I even dont use amiibo for items.
The grinding in this game is a lot of fun.

I duplicated a single ruby just to see what the fuss was about, But I've updated as it's something I don't think I would use. If Link's mansion and ferrari need any maintenance, he'll just have to grind rupees...

(I'm being silly of course. I find the grinding motivates exploration.)

I don't have much time to play (I'm a bit like the guy in the ad for TotK lol), so if I wanted to finish the game I probably would've used it. But I savour every minute of playing this game, so the grind doesn't feel like a grind ever. If anything I find it a relaxed way of playing the game. I trust the update will improve the gameplay in general, so yeah update away!

@JackieCMarlow I've got the exact same mentality. I've put in so much hours already without any significant progress. In defense or attack. 1 hit still taking 7 and 3/4 hearts. With a full armor set on! I do have a f***ton of arrows, bombs and fire though. So that's how I've been getting around! 😂

For me the glitch ruins the experience so I was very pleased to update the game.

I've not updated because I've not closed the game yet and I'm too lazy to do that.
On the other hand, have I used the glitch? Yeah I did, when I needed a mob drop to upgrade an armor and after three hours I just got a single drop and I still needed for 14 more. I'm sorry for the ones who enjoy this, but most of the days I have no spare time (aka adult with job plus other responsabilities) and grinds like that kill my gaming mood. Have I used it after that? Nope. Will I use it? I don't think so. Will I update? Yeah, at some point. I don't care that much about the glitch.
Anyway it's a single player game, so every option is valid as far as the one is playing enjoys the game.

@echoplex wdym gamers have aged and have jobs and responsibilities ? Maybe the ones that were born in the 80s and 90’s but there are also younger gamers… as there always have been and always will be 😂. To be frank I don’t think the industry needs to take this into account. Actually I think TotK is a prime example of what a good director and team can achieve without compromising their vision for the sake of having to listen to the player-base. When they decided to work on a sequel they new they were going to receive backlash for using the same map and yadda yadda but they stuck to their guns and the game is glorious.

Never used this glitch.. literally best game ever contender, why would I ruin it for me by exploiting a cheating glitch.

Don’t wanna miss out on performance improvements that they’re likely working on. Not using any glitches anyway.

Still on 1.1.0 since I haven't closed TotK since launch day. I haven't used the glitch, but I also haven't done any grinding for materials. Since it's not essential to upgrade my equipment, why would I?

Of course I updated. Why would I want to exploit and thus play less of the game? I'm already drowning in materials from playing the game normally.

I duped a handful of diamonds and some of the dragon parts that I use to make ice or fire hammers. Pushed through the update then after that.

Its an offline single player game... it doesnt matter what I have in it and in what quantities, so yeah I updated it.

I’ve had auto updates turned off ever since I picked up Death Mark, since there’s an update that censors the game. No interest in the TotK glitch so I updated this game when prompted.

It updated and I'm miffed, but what can I do? I feel access to materials in TotK is lesser than in BotW, and that already wasn't exactly overflowing with stuff.

I have the game running, even when the system is asleep (I just want to jump right in where I left off without having to navigate menus and loading screens), so it will prompt me for the update.

I don't want to have to update, but if they release DLC packages like they did with BOTW, I might have to if it requires a specific version of the game.

I mean, I did use the Paraglider Duplication Glitch a few times to farm diamonds, so I could sell them for Rupees, but I am getting to a point where I don't really need to use it anymore, since I am acquiring better weapons and materials.

Plus, I basically have an army at my back now with four of the five Sages (I'm currently working on the fifth, Mineru), and they can do all the fighting for me.

@alasdair91 Part of the problem is that a lot of the weapons in TOTK are decayed, so their attack power and durability are lower than their BOTW counterparts, basically requiring you to use the Fuse ability. It's hard to find GOOD weapons.

But that's where the Hyrule Compendium and Google come in handy. I know some people are loathe to use walkthroughs, but they really can help if you're stuck on a particular area. Myself, I had to use it yesterday when I got stuck trying to bring the body parts for a golem back to the central area where its head and torso were located.

I want to update Advance Wars 1+2 Reboot Camp, but it won't let me!

@RubyCarbuncle Yeah, that was poorly phrased on my part. I meant that fully upgrading everything is unnecessary. I've got everything I currently own to level 2 without grinding. From what I remember of BotW, grinding was only necessary for level 4 upgrades (although maybe some rarer armour needed it for earlier upgrades).

Is it cheating to use Amiibos?

Nintendo will give you daily free items in Zelda if you pay them. I’ve never heard anyone call that cheating. What makes item duplication cheating but Amiibos not?

@AstroTheGamosian Same as me. I tried the different glitches when I found out about them, did them a few times just for fun to see if it worked. Don't really use the glitches that much because I tried it late in the game, so don't really need that much at this point. But I still use them sometimes because time/family/job is more important than grinding/farming in a game right now.

The game still gives me the same feeling as playing games when I was a kid with a NES, so much to explore and I love it!

@JackieCMarlow Nintendo will release a system update that will remove the option to disable auto updates, so you are forced to play the current version of the game.

@koffing There’s no absolute definition of what constitutes ‘cheating’, so really the only meaningful question is, “does the player feel they are cheating themselves?”. ToTK is a single-player game, so there’s so need to worry about one person’s gain coming at someone else’s expense.

…That said, if we were to define cheating in a semi-official sense, a good litmus test might be, “do the developers consider this a legitimate way to play the game?”.

In the case of the feature they deliberately included, the answer is surely “yes”. As for the feature they deliberately removed, I’d suggest the answer is “no”.

…Not that it really matters. Play the game how you see fit, and no-one else will be any worse off.

Updated. Don't need glitches anyway and want to play the game as intended by the creators. It's great enough to trust them.

I updated because I don´t want to »cheat« in any way. I even always fear that I might break the experience for me when I feel like I am exploiting some bug or oversight.

For example in the underground I managed to get a skeleton horse and since they are immune to the miasma I was easily able to reach a l lot of those tree shrines and lighten up the area. I immediately abandoned the horse as soon as I realized that his might not be intended.

Also through the sky islands you can often easily access remote areas and that also feels like cheating so I try to not exploit that either.

Am I weird?

There are enough programs on PC to keep track of in terms of version numbers across multiple operating systems. Never mind Android. And various firmwares for different peripherals and hardware. I honestly couldn't care less what version of Zelda I'm running on my Switch. It happens to be 1.2 though, because I manually did an update. I don't really care that Nintendo--gasp--actually fixed bugs in the game and pushed a bugfix update. That's, you know... kind of what they're supposed to do, right? Can't fault them for actually doing their job. And quite swiftly, at that.

There's definitely no need to dupe Zonaite, I've been exploring the depths, because I enjoy doing that every so often, and there's absolutely piles of it near every encounter.

And if a quest giver wants some specific items, I'll go find them at some point, if it seems worth it. Rather than stand Infront of them duping it

And I've made a bunch of rupees from side quests, caves with ore, and attacking Bubbulfrog sprites before they lead you off to a cave. They literally explode with small amounts of rupees lol.

But I'm still not updating the game, just incase, as I've put in so much time playing as intended, and if I reach a point where it suddenly takes me out of my enjoyment to go and collect 100 something's that I've already used or sold, to advance the fun parts, then I want that sweet backup as I don't want to end up giving up on the game, as I can do at times if they suddenly get grindy. This game is too fun for not finishing

I disabled updates. I’m married with 2 kids and a full time job. I don’t have time to grind and grind. I just use the dupe glitch whenever I need the items.

@KryptoniteKrunch I used it to upgrade my equipment because asking for 420 amber is simply RIDICULOUS. 100 hours, mostly of farming the underground and I only had 150 lol

I have never even once felt compelled to dupe an item in this game, I’m actually a bit shocked by this comment section.

@Johnion dam, for an armor upgrade??

I heard it's grindy, but that's insane.

Big part of the fun for me in BotW/TotK is the survival element, making sure you’re prepared when venturing out and the risk/reward of using or selling items with the somewhat scarce currency both games have. I wouldn’t care to explore everything I see if I could just duplicate everything. Where’s the reward in finding a new weapon or a valuable gem I can sell if I can just duplicate as many as I want and be good to go? That’s boring.

Fair play to anyone who does play with exploits though, enjoy it how you like.

I personally updated when I had the chance, not because I didn't care about using an exploit like this, but because I'm not in a rush to beat this game or become crazy op in such a short time. To me, it sorta feels like going into Minecraft creative mode, getting all your resources, then going back into survival. I'm a simple guy that likes to grind (strange I know) I do it with Pokemon, I've done it with Breath of the wild (having more than 500 hours in that) and I'm sure I'll be doing that with Tears of the Kingdom. I just want the slow burn in progress to feel natural. Granted, Link is always OP, but for me, I'm not.
It's simply how I enjoy my experience with the game. Others may have differing opinions and that's fine, everyone goes on a different adventure to reach their end goal, and that's not a bad thing at all.
To those that use the exploits, nothing wrong with it. They wanna to dedicate more time to having more survivability ASAP to have more time to explore all of Hyrule, or maybe you're the kinda person that wants to make the craziest machines. I respect that.

My Switch had the game open and was in sleep mode when it downloaded the update, so now it keeps telling me the update has been downloaded but gives me the option to keep playing or to install the update. I was actually avoiding duplicating anything but wanted to try it out since I was seeing so many posts about it. Rupees seem to be much harder to get in this game and the Hebra area was super annoying to clear without enough money to buy armors. I’m thinking of stockpiling some diamonds and then updating.

I kept mine update off for this reason. This is a single player game not some online game. So glitch all the way for me. I don't have much time as before so glitches to me makes it more fun. They could've fixed other core issues but it's petty just to fix this.

Yeah, I'm not updating beyond 1.1.1 any time soon.

From my experience so far, there were far more lucrative ways to farm both materials and rupees in BOTW. I've yet to encounter anything like repeatable mini games that reward rupees or sizable numbers of materials in TOTK. The deer hunting mini game was my favorite way for collecting the rupees for buying armor or house upgrades in BOTW in an afternoon or two, and doing things like the distance gliding or golf mini games was also a nice way to switch it up once in a while if I didn't feel like doing that.

Also, selling meat or fruit dishes was reasonably profitable in BOTW, but for reasons I cannot comprehend they slashed selling prices by about 50% pretty much all across the board in TOTK. So, doubling the grind without lowering the prices in the stores, and with fewer ways to get materials for cooking to boot.

Before duping came along, I reluctantly sold some gemstones to get the Rito armors early-on while playing TOTK, knowing full well that upgrading all the armors would consume boatloads of gems later, and wasting them here would be setting myself back in resources, and increase the grind later. I wasn't feeling "rewarded", I was feeling annoyed.

And even then I was already doing the daily, boring, time-consuming process of scanning NFC tags to harvest amiibo materials to sell for rupees and to get decent shields and weapons (which is more or less functionally identical to duping in terms of application, only worse because it's "pay to win").

I was also doing things like wasting the already finite weapon slots to drag fused weapons back to Tarry Town to get them split to collect the materials, which worsens the impact of the breaking weapons, as I'd have fewer "usable" weapons at any given time in my inventory. The more constrained resources was actively ruining the pacing of TOTK for me, as the long term grind is always something I'm taking into consideration.

Also, the main reason breakable weapons weren't a deal-breaker for me in BOTW, was because there were bomb runes to fall back on. So taking away the solution to the issue, and then doubling down on making the issue worse, isn't great in my eyes. Bomb runes also solved the issue of needing to waste weapons for things like collecting ores and wood, so you could focus on using them in battles. I will say at least Yunobu's ability is a close enough TOTK "equivalent" for some things such breaking apart ore, once you have that.

At one point I thought the monster horns were free game for selling and fusing (as in, not consumed by side quests), so alright those are the moneymakers and primary weapon fusions, but it turns out those are used for equipment upgrades too (so unless you look up a guide or something to know exactly which are the "important" ones, it's most efficient to hoard literally everything other than common items like apples and meat until later).

Also, the money pits in TOTK are kind of ridiculous, compared to BOTW. Buying the full stock of dream home parts alone costs nearly 100,000 rupees, and upgrading a single set of armor all the way costs over 2,000 rupees each in addition to materials. I was fairly conservative in duping diamonds initially, building up 50,000 rupees, only to find out that wasn't nearly enough to get all the permanent items, even if I wasn't going to be purchasing the photos for the compendium.

Only reason I haven't updated is because I haven't closed the game.

@Clark2k its not a cheat, its a feature.

I always keep my games up to date. Have no intention of glitching or cheating during my play through!

@JackieCMarlow using MacGuffin incorrectly.

I'll update when DLC inevitably releases.

@TrixieSparkle 100,000 for all the dream room parts? Why would you ever buy them all as you can only put down 15 and it only costs 6700 to fill the plot of land. I did initially duplicate a few diamonds before the game auto updated but even so, after a few armour upgrades and building my house I've still got effectively all the rupees left from those extra diamonds. Perhaps it'll seem to be more of an issue later but so far I've never found it hard to get money even without cooking or farming

@carlos82
The reason to buy all the house parts, is just wanting the option of being able mess around with the house layout on a whim. Interior designing and all that. It's pretty much in the same spirit as building contraptions and vehicles. Or how someone might want all the armors upgraded to be able to switch up their fashion from time to time without repercussions, even though only one set of nice armor is really necessary for performing well in the game.

If the thing someone is most interested in from the dream house is to just have a few spots to store extra weapons/bows/shields, or to have a cooking pot and bed handy, then yeah, there's very little reason to buy all of them. Just like how building the hover bike alone will satisfy basically all vehicle related obstacles in the game (2 fans and a controller, which are very cheap to acquire, with low battery cell requirements), and over-engineering beyond that with all the other parts is pretty much just for the sake of doing so.

It forced it on me so... Yeah?

I like to play new games straight. I was f interested in these duplication glitches or fake master swords from minute one. I play the game vanilla cause I’m vanilla 🤣

Duping is just cheating. I won't be doing it probably until I finish the main story and even then might not. I'm sure there'll be another method soon.

I've kept it on auto update. The currency collecting is a grind but I'll manage

Remember those very same people talking they play without glitches are the one using it. Just funny how people pigeon hole themselves and not hink why even mention it - making comments only clears they use it. Also no one on here can confirm those saying they don't use glitch updated or not - it's their word that they saying it only.

Game is pretty garbage, haven't turned it on in a week I believe. I'll update it when I decide to play again, I'm not a pathetic cheater who needs to steamroll through a game.

I'm about 40-45 hours in, and I haven't done any grinding yet or used any dupe glitches, have done 3 dungeons, filled in entire map, got the master sword, etc. There's plenty of stuff to do without needing to farm resources.

Why's Links hair longer in this game?

I fortunately already got infinite dragon parts before it updated so it’s fine for me.

Yeah I’m just going to update. Want to play the game as intended within the spirit of the game. 100% understand and respect those who want to dupe (I did this in diablo2 thousands of times)

I must add they’ve nerfed the drop rate of precious gemstones which were the main currency in BOTW. Mildly annoying. I guess they factored in that link looted them all in the first game hahaha

I duped 200 diamonds and a few dozen other materials, plus some Zonai devices. I'm 80+ hours into the game with tons left to do, so I don't feel bad about it. I don't want to play the game for 400 hours, which I think you'd have to without chatting a little if you wanted to Jax it your batteries, could a house, upgrade armors, finish all the quests, etc. I enjoy mining and collecting stuff, but I don't want to do it for 200 hours. It hasn't detected from the experience for me.

I haven't turned the game off once since I first turned it on, and I've been in airplane mode, so it hasn't even tried to update.

@RobynAlecksys You seem like a nice person

I haven’t updated but only because I haven’t closed the game for over a week 🫣 but I also haven’t explored the glitch because I don’t want to, but if people do want to then I see nothing wrong with that. Play how you like!

Some of the people virtue signaling about not taking advantage of glitches because they ruin the experience are the same ones hopping on YouTube for literally anything.

I'm a little apprehensive about it. I've held off on updating the game past the day one update as I would appreciate the option to exploit the glitch if I am so inclined to do so later on. I'll update the game eventually, but I am in no hurry to given that I've barely made a dent in the game (and I'm already about 50 hours in).

In the meantime, I'm getting by with my 26 daily amiibo scans.

I also turned off automatic updates back when so that I could take advantage of the Pokémon BD/SP cloning glitch (but I have since updated to the latest versions).

I like to play games as their creators intend, generally.

I made a few hundred diamonds and finally updated. I didn't want to give into the temptation of creating additional monster parts, but rupee farming for whatever reason I'm totally fine skipping out on.

I've loved playing with the glitches. Not really used for game breaking purposes but I love trying out different items in scenarios and fusing stuff without wasting any material. TLDR - you do you!

I don't have any desire to play the game beyond the boundaries intended so I will definitely be updating.

who cheats in a game? Why even play? Now you bored all of sudden right?

I updated my game, I am not interested in duplicating items, if I reached a point where I would want to do that, it means that I'm already tired of the game and will play something else.

I already have like 60k rupees and 100 large zonai charges, I have no need for the glitch anymore.

Dupe glitch is fun. It's a solo player game so who does it hurt to include it. I'm not even doing the dungeons and I begrudgingly do the shrines slowly because very few are actually enjoyable. The open world and crafting aspect of the game is the true meat and the dupe glitch lets you enjoy it to its full potential without having to grind or wait for blood moons for resets. Nintendo should bring back cheat modes if they are going to phase out glitches like this. Have them be earned or intentionally hidden easter eggs like in n64 games (Goldeneye, ExtremeG, Rampage, Banjo Kazooie, Mortal Kombat). It's a game, not to be taken so seriously. I don't understand the git guds and skillz L33tists who think this game is supposed to be competitive.

@Dark_Isatari but why? Is the game meant for the game devs or for the players?

@KingBowser A short supply of barbers and Cece only cares about clothing.

@__Link__ I get a few hours with my wife watching a night and she doesn't want to watch me grind out materials nor do I wish to grind them out when I can hop and dupe 20 hearty radishes to last me the next week in a minute.

@rokboxapopolis I guess with any art form I’d say it’s kind of for both. The voice of the masses usually doesn’t produce the best product, but creators do have to take their audience into consideration.
