Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom And Breath Of The Wild Updates Now Live, Here Are The Full Patch Notes

Seeing as I just learned my first successful item duplication glitch, I'm sure this is the patch where they get rid of it haha

When is the Zelda notes update releasing for WiiU so I can use it on the GamePad instead of my phone while playing the game?

I just checked the app and it appears as if Zelda Notes now gives more clarification on when a specific set of data started to be collected. It now says if it started in the original version or the latest version

@HugoGED my preferred way of playing BotW is on the Wii U, so I second this!

They still didn't fix the shadow render distance issues in handheld mode. What's with Nintendo charging for a game upgrade that doesn't actually fix the visual issues?

@parkerdeal, I hope they never patch it out, that glitch sounded really fun!

@Sambuc I only own BOTW on WiiU so I don't have any data to compare to the switch version. Why do you prefer Wiiu?

Something that I always admire about late life console games is seeing the console working at full power. What about you?

@HugoGED that would be bomb, it was the lamest thing when I got BOTW day one on WiiUand I looked down and didn't have a map on the game pad.

What was changed for Switch 1? That’s what I have and I did get an update for both of these games just now, on the Switch 1.

@Koda1000, it seems like Nintendo wants to update the Switch 1 versions of games, even if it's just for Switch 2 version stuff. For example, Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, as well as many other games, got updates on the Switch 1, even though those updates mostly only upgrade them a little on the Switch 2 hardware. At least, that is what I've noticed.

How about fixing the annoying rain + storms that would happen at the most inopportune moments (i.e. Akkala blue flame tech lab was just annoying as F* with it raining so damned often, blowing out my damned flaming torch). I also didn't appreciate getting hit by lightening so damned much. Sure, I dropped all the metal stuff... but then the lightining obliterates my weapons / shields (or at least, hits them a million times to a point where I cannot find them).

Yeah, playing game for first time on Switch2.... damn it's just as annoying as it is fantastic. GAHH!

@Nambit you don't need to drop your metal weapons, you can just unselect them so you are not holding/carrying them

@Patendo you serious? Thanks, I am gonna try this next time. You have no idea how many storms I had to endure.

Betcha theyve patched the ganon qr codes

@Nambit I think this is for save file comparability.

If you ride into any of the stables in Hyrule now as the music starts playing something seems a bit different, I don't know what it is exactly it just feels more stable.

@HugoGED I once read that the original intention for the Wii U version was to include a map and hud to the Wii U gamepad - but it was nixed because this would make the Wii U version superior, in terms of features, to the Switch. Which could push people towards the Wii U instead of the Switch. Very dissapointing.

@Nambit you poor guy, I've got images of the sheer panic at those thunderstorms!!!

@parkerdeal My first thought!! 🤣
I'll take the damn Zelda notes glitches if I could find a working dupe glitch again! Do you have a vid for me or something how you did it?

So, in Zelda Notes I had 4 glitched QR codes, one to summon a lot of horses, one to summon low gravity, one to summon a wind current, and one to summon the final phase of the final boss, all four do not work anymore, they can be transferred and selected, but they do not summon anything, the "create" prompt doesn't appear either, they do make my game lag and the camera/Link's rotation is funky, the last one though still has its thumbnail in the autobuild menu interestingly.

The dupe glitch using a bow, fusing the item you had to the arrow and then eating something you only had one of, and the one abusing the quick item menu while walking off a ledge to drop and an item as well as throw it, both still works.

@garfreek both glitches I mentioned, (the first one is when you have more than 3 items and dupes 4 of them at once, the second is when you only have 1 and can only dupe 1) are explained perfectly in this video: https://youtu.be/VKRfxj2wZeg

edit: This method of dupe is a variant of the first one, but can duplicate 5 items at a time instead of 4: https://youtu.be/CLBkn-ujCFM

I'm still playing through Pokémon Violet on my switch 2 currently. I'll be playing donkey Kong after that but yeah I'll definitely be playing TOTK after that. I didn't actually finish it on the switch 1 so will be nice to continue from where I was with the upgrades. I might even go back on BOTW and finish getting the Korok 'seeds'.

@Nacil Thanks!!!!

@garfreek Yup, @Nacil got it! That's the one I've been using. There's a few tiny caveats with it, like was mentioned, but generally, it's been great for farming diamonds to make enough money, because I'd like to upgrade all of my armor pieces and any of the current methods of making lots of money are fun for a bit but would take forever to really rack up the funds lol So this is a nice little subsidy

I hope this doesn’t take away the ability to duplicate items using Zelda Notes…

I wish they would have just patched in the map on second screen feature like we had when dual screen gaming was a thing. I would literally buy a Switch Lite just for that feature when it makes sense. (Maybe I would use it from another room as well- it has a proper dpad).

I’m on switch 2 and this update really seemed to break my game. Now there’s a lot of pop in on the distance, untextured surfaces etc. idk what happened it was running just fine when I first started it up

@_xXharmless_yigaXx_ aaaaaand it did

@_xXharmless_yigaXx_ yeah it did, I saw it happen.

@HugoGED As soon as I saw the announcement, I thought, "Here's the kind of idea that the gamepad was invented for, and yet..."
