Just days after it launched, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom players have discovered a new glitch in the game that allows them to generate infinite resources. It’s relatively easy to pull off, doesn’t require you to have progressed too far into the game, and once mastered, it can fill Link’s inventory up within minutes. You can probably expect Nintendo to patch this exploit very soon as it essentially upends the delicate economy of Tears of the Kingdom, but if you have a quick trigger finger, here’s how it works.

Requirements

As of version 1.1.0 of Tears of the Kingdom, the patch that was installed on launch day, this exploit still works. As mentioned above, Nintendo doesn’t mess around when it comes to plugging this holes in its games and a future patch will likely see this glitch removed from the game, so if you’re intending to use it, you’ll want to be quick.

For game progress, you’ll want to have unlocked the Fuse ability, have at least two bows, and the item that you want to duplicate. Oh, and very quick fingers.
