Days after Nintendo patched out a handy item bug, fans have already discovered a new, easier Tears of the Kingdom duplication glitch. YouTuber Kibbles Gaming posted a video showing the glitch in the process (thanks, Nintendo Everything), and you don’t even need good timing to make it work.
It only generates one extra item at a time, though, and it takes a bit longer than the last set of glitches that Nintendo removed. It also seems limited to items you can throw, which is pretty much everything except bows, arrows, and shields. You need to have at least four memories unlocked in the Zelda game‘s memory compendium as well.
Here’s what you do to make this one work. Save the game first. Equip the item you want to duplicate or grab it from your throw menu. Hold the throw button, but don’t actually throw the item. Instead, press the “minus” button to open the map or quest menu. Watch four memories – press the “X” button to skip them and save time – and then load your last save file.
When the game picks up again, you should see your duplicated item on the ground, as if you’d actually thrown it. The original will remain in your inventory as well, and you can repeat the process as many times as you have patience for.
If you want more diamonds without the fuss, need some extra Zonai devices, or just can’t bear the thought of parting with your favorite, weird fuse weapon, make the most of this glitch before Nintendo patches it out too.
