Breath of the Wildis one of the single most impactful games ever made, so it makes sense that fans are still engaging with it five years after it was first released. As with all massive games, new secrets are often discovered even years after launch, be that an Easter egg or a glitch that has a massive effect on gameplay. Whileduplication glitches inBreath of the Wildare nothing new, a newly discovered one can have a big impact.
The YouTube channel Gaming Reinvented recently shared a video, spotted by Nintendo Life, that allows users to duplicate any material inBreath of the Wild,including the covetedKorok Seedsfound scattered around the world. While this decidedly falls into the “cheating” category, it’s a good way for users to get upgrades with a much smaller time investment than what they normally need.

The video dives fully into the process, but it effectively involves visiting a shop, dropping items the player wants to duplicate, firing shock arrows from a multi-bow, and repeating the process. It sounds complicated, but it’s much easier than trekking all over Hyrule playing hide-and-seek with tree spirits for hundreds of hours, if not more, just to upgrade one’s inventory capacity. Plus, the other materials are icing on the cake.
The internet will always be split on whether or not it’s okay to use glitches like this, but at the end of the day, it all comes down to the individual using the exploits. If they want to speed along the process, then more power to them. After all, it’s their time they’re spending, and life is short. For those with outside responsibilities, the investment in tedious tasks doesn’t necessarily make sense.

In fact, the system is so harsh that it spawned a conversation about whether weapon degradation should’ve been in it in the first place.
Now, however, fans can look forward toBreath of the Wild 2,though it’s unclear when fans will learn more about the new game. There are plenty of fans anxiously awaiting new adventures withBreath of the Wild’sstructure, and it’s difficult to find games to scratch that itch.
