Unleashing the Secret: How a Glitch in Zelda Transforms Link's Horse into a Flying Machine

A player of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has stumbled upon a peculiar glitch that transforms their horse into a hovercraft while galloping through Death Mountain. Nintendo has expanded the range of tools available to players in the latest Zelda installment, including the Ultrahand ability in Tears of the Kingdom. As a result, the community has demonstrated remarkable levels of creativity by designing functional mech robots, vintage vehicles, and much more. This resourcefulness has enabled fans to devise innovative solutions for overcoming obstacles in the game, such as completing the various Shrines across Hyrule or defeating challenging foes like the returning Lynels. Nonetheless, not all the inventive content shared online has originated from players' imaginations. Tears of the Kingdom has encountered a few bugs and glitches, ranging from enabling players to duplicate materials to causing bizarre in-game behaviors.

A recent visual anomaly has surfaced on the Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom subReddit, courtesy of user vixnvox. The clip in question depicts the player riding Zelda's Golden Horse up an incline on Death Mountain when the horse unexpectedly rears up as if it hit a hidden rock. During the jump animation, the horse becomes frozen in mid-air, appearing to hover above the ground with its legs stuck in place. Despite this unusual occurrence, the horse continues to function normally. The Tears of the Kingdom community found amusement in the glitch, leaving humorous comments about the horse being a player-created fusion of Zonai devices or referencing similar glitches in Skyrim involving horses. One player even commented that the ability to hover would have been helpful in a difficult situation they had encountered earlier with a horse stuck on a cliff.

Players of Tears of the Kingdom were able to exploit a duplication glitch that enabled them to duplicate materials while in the air, leading to a surge in popularity. Despite Nintendo's swift response in removing the glitch, alternative methods were discovered, albeit not as simple to execute. The latest update may have left some fans feeling let down, but the game remains available on Switch.
