We're not even a week into the release of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and sure enough, duplication glitches have already returned.
Compared to certain other video game glitches in the past, this one (utilising Link's bow & arrow) is a relatively straightforward process - allowing you to duplicate any inventory item. To perform this "easy duplication glitch", you'll need to have a bow, arrows, and the item you want to duplicate.
Zelda glitch enthusiast and Twitter user @ItsBenjaninja provides a quick and detailed demonstration, and there are also a lot of tutorials on YouTube to follow if you require further assistance. We've tried out the glitch ourselves and can confirm it works, but it might take a bit of practice.
So, there you go - that's how you can duplicate any item multiple times over. If you are interested in this glitch, you might want to try out it sooner rather than later as there's always the possibility Nintendo will patch this in a future game update. In saying this, you can set "automatic software updates" to "off" in the Switch's system settings.
It looks like some other glitches and methods may have already been discovered as well. Have you tried out the glitch above yet? Comment below.

I got it! Yay
Given how much people tore apart BOTW and now TOTK, it's a bit surprising it took longer than a day.
That was fast. I’m curious if they’ll decide to patch that out or not. People would probably just find another way to do it, then
I definitely don't have to worry about money now that I've made like 20 diamonds. One of the most annoying parts of breath of the wild was actually farming rupees I found so now I don't have that issue.
I love stuff like this. It's so specific it makes you wonder how one stumbles upon such things.
Tried this several times and only got it to work once... when I was experimenting w/ a different sequence (IE not following instructions)... and then I promptly forgot what I'd done.
For rupee farming, I'm thinking Zelda Amiibo will be more efficient, as their gear sells for 600 apiece.
Yes. It works well. I have a harder time duplicating items I've put on an arrow, but the weapon dupe works for me every time
Thank you NL! More cheating articles please!
I tried but my reaction times are shocking, so I'm always bad at glitches, will let my other half have at it when he's home from work, I just want it for money since rupees are so annoying to get in this game.
@MrLinkTathapast Just by trying everything, a lot of people are actively hunting for glitches.
Tempting to try but whenever I try stuff like this my enjoyment for games plummets. Last night while playing I happened to by sky diving at night and caught a star fragment as it was falling down. Pretty sweet.
@Jokerwolf it was super easy, barely an inconvenience to farm rupees in BotW.
Just stand in a certain spot for the snowball bowling and you get a strike every time.
@Chaotic_Neutral well I don't have to worry about it now, I've got like 10K rupees in like maybe 3 minutes.
Easy to do and useful in a pinch. Nearly ran out of Brighblooms in the depths so it saved me having to travel out to find more. But it's a pretty tedious thing to sit and there doing it.
I don't know if dragon parts are still a thing in TotK, but if they are, I hope I'm able to use this for those. Grinding for those wasn't really the most exciting part of the game.
Its never consistent. Very random when it wants to work
I think it's worth farming diamonds to keep as a back up. Nothing worse than reaching a point in the game where you need a lot more rupees and don't want to waste time farming them.
To be fair though... if you balance story progress with a fair bit of exploration, you do typically gather enough rupees and resources to make comfortable progress. You won't be picking up every item of equipment straight away though...
I bit the bullet and tried, I didn't want to at first, but then tried it and.... it didn't work! I guess the hands of fate have spoken! hahaha!
I'm on 1.1.0 so I'm guessing it been patched out on this update??
I got the MsgNotFound sword today. Aka the Unbreakable Master Sword.
There's an even easier method.
