The newly released update 1.2.0 of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has already drawn complaints from gamers regarding the fix of the widely known frozen meat glitch. This glitch, which allowed players to duplicate frozen meat, was a popular way to acquire resources for the creation of powerful weapons in Zelda. Players would exploit this bug to procure infinite Rupees, making it a favored method among gamers. The frozen meat glitch involved dropping meat on the ground, transforming it into a weapon, and combining Meat Clubs until reaching the limit of 21. By freezing the club in the snow, players could continuously obtain frozen meat.
The recent update seems to have fixed the popular duplication glitch, according to gamers like CrowdedBeans on Reddit. While the 1.2.0 Zelda update only claims to improve gameplay, it appears that Nintendo also addressed some of these popular glitches. The reception to the changes has been largely negative, with some Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom players speculating that a duplication glitch in Tobio's Hollow Chasm may also have been fixed. Many players are now opting not to update their games in order to continue exploiting the glitch. Dogman15, for example, disabled automatic updates on their Switch a few days ago. However, this approach may prevent players from benefiting from other positive changes that could enhance their gaming experience.
However, even after patching one glitch, other issues still persist. Recently, a player stumbled upon yet another glitch in the game, allowing Zelda players to acquire an unlimited amount of items by visiting the West Necluda Sky Archipelago. A device dispenser in this area constantly generates never-ending Zonai capsules. Unfortunately, for those who enjoy exploiting these system flaws, it appears that Nintendo is actively working to rectify all such glitches. Hence, there is no certainty as to how much longer this particular loophole will remain accessible, as it may also be addressed in a future game update.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is now available for Nintendo Switch.
