Also, yes! I'm not the first person to make a glitch video of Tears of the Kingdom. Been planning this one for months now, super happy to bring it to you all and proud of the twist I have on it. This is an ongoing series I already have consisting of the titles: "x is a stable game with no glitches at all" -- I've done it with breath of the wild twice in February 2020 and pokemon violet in 2022. Hope you enjoy!
epic! Do you think you will ever go back an talk about breath of the wild now? Like its glitches we know of now
Awesome!

GLITCH IT MORE👺🩷
My favorite Zelda glitch is in Twilight Princess where speed-runners make Link stare at a rupee for 17 hours so they can clip through a locked gate... I'm not kidding.
Same!
the total run is 17 hours
@@Aspivient1that’s the point. It is all spent looking at a blue rupee.
Actually, the run is only 14 hours now and the slide through the gate takes about 9.5 hours
Yes, my favorite
Nintendo devs watching this: "Aww s***, here we go again."
They’re furiously at work patching out every fun discovery so the game can be less enjoyable how nice of them 😊
@Ninon__ To be fair, they usually only patch out the stuff that really breaks the game, like the duplication glitch. In BotW, they never patched out wind-bombing or item smuggling or any of the other niche speedruning tactics that were relatively hard to pull off.
@@et3rnal_sage437bro, I DID THE SAME
Every game has glitches
Nintendo Legal Team: *Classical Villain Music slowly becomes audible*
Imagine being Zelda/Ganondorf watching Link literally start breaking reality for fun. I'd be terrified if I were Ganondorf.
Ganondorf duping bokoblins
Tears of the Kingdom is a stable game with no glitches at all
Ganondorf is just chilling in his sanctuary under the castle, suddenly Link just falls through the ceiling perfectly still holding nothing. Ganondorf is shocked but prepares to fight, only for Link to one-shot him with a glitched-out spear.
chilling on your demon throne, minding your own business, suddenly a head, an arm, and 30 floating weapons fall through your ceiling
I like to imagine that the glitches are canonical. Makes the whole series a lot more, ah... 'interesting'.
This game is kind of like a kitkat in the sense of it being better when you break it, or worse depending on if you are “peculiar” and eat it whole
This deserves to become one of the top comments Edit: Thank you random people on the internet for giving this comment the likes it deserves
Agreed
I don’t break the kit kat

2:40 I love how every single weapon in his inventory is fused with meat (other than the one he just picked up, of course)
Don't forget the legendary icy meat claymore

I discovered a glitch today: if you hit an enemy on the frame that the blood moon cutscene activates, it deals a whole ton of damage (like the arrow on waterblight) and I was able to insta-kill a Hynox.
so another way to deal infinite damage

Sounds like the same glitch as the infinite damage glitch but with slightly different execution. The blood moon pauses the game just like picking up a new item.
PLEASE post your discovery somewhere so you get to name it something ridiculous. preferably before it becomes "moon method infinite damage"
Please call it Blood Moon Murder or something
Videos like these make me wonder if sometimes a minor, not game breaking glitch gets found during development, but the devs choose to leave it in like "Oh the internet will love that if they find it" instead of using extra resources to fix it lol. I always enjoy your game glitch videos! They're so much fun
This is actually the case with sonic frontier's homing dash cancel, now also made official by the game noting if it was used in a timed sequence. (With no penalty other than that note)
Given that they usually get patched out... Sadly I don't think that's the case with Nintendo
They kinda did that with keeping whistle sprinting in botw but then ruined it by removing and punishing you for it now in totk sadly.
I hate it when people abuse the game with glitches so hard that they blame the developers when it gets patched
It's usually a matter of development resources. "This glitch is funny, but we have another game breaking glitch that's more likely to occur. Let's focus on that for now."
For the glitch at 6:07 - A duplex bow does not work as the arrows are not next to each other, the 2nd arrow from a duplex shot removes the first one. The best results is a Lynel bow 3 or 5 shot, but only a maximum of 4 shots before moving up to collect. It duplicates anything you can fuse to an arrow.
Lol I was just about to say this
The max arrows in air is actually just 20. The amount of shots in your bow changes how many shots you can get before it breaks.
who do u get where he did to do the glitch
a duplex bow does work! I just tried it myself- the first couple tries did collide, but aiming closer to the ground helped with making both arrows freeze in place
I've got v1.1.2 using a Savage Lynel Bow - 3 shot and it is not working for me.
The best thing about these glitches is that they don’t affect your game unless you actively seek them out.
that’s probably why they patched the original duping glitch, it’s so easy that it’s something a casual game player could stumble onto
@@Emily-xr6ny whos gonna be paragliding, holding items and sorting their inventory then immediately closing it? Or whos gonna stand 1 link away from a wall, selecting zonai devices then sorting and closing their inventory? Idk about that
@@Emily-xr6nyare you talking about the seared steak one where it dupes the effects to all of them you buy? Cuz that one is definitely the most likely to be encountered by accident that I’ve seen, it’s not much more than just buying steak with an effect active. But idk for sure which glitch you’re talking about so maybe there’s one that’s even more casual
@@KevinCollins-co7zz if it’s easy to do then it’s easy to do accidentally 🤷♀️
@@KevinCollins-co7zz how is it SO unlikely someone could drop something whilst paragliding or on mineru, then sort it their inventory (which a lot of people just do when they’re there anyways)? it’s not the most natural thing ever but it’s not exactly in the “stare at a rupee for 17 hours to clip through a wall” category
NGL I'm actually glad about the glitches. It gives the best of both worlds. It makes the game less daunting for newbie gamers like me, while allowing veteran gamers the option to not exploit it, & play the game like the way it's "supposed to".
I love the fact that there’s glitches easy enough even I can do but it’s really an internal battle about whether I should. Somehow it makes me feel (and presumably others) feel guilty?? Like as if it really fuckin matters to anyone whether we personally use exploits. But ya gotta draw the line somewhere or else it’ll literally get too easy it’s not even fun
@@monhi64 The answer is your last sentence - the barometer is fun.
@@monhi64yeah many people think the ToTK glitches are the same as a multiplayer game glitches. They are not giving you an advantage in climbing the ranks. It is just something that exists.
*correction you cannot use duplex bow at tbio's hollow chasm for duping. The arrows are too close together so anything fused will collide and both will disappear.
Aw, that's a bummer.
This might just be me, but the duplex bow worked completely fine for me! You just have to be standing at a depth of about -162 in the chasm to give a chance for the arrows to spread out more! You should keep backing up (assuming you're facing the slope) until it starts working for you.
They go one behind the other rather than a sort of shotgun formation
Does waterboarding activate the water warrior effect for Zora weapons? Because if so, that unironically has some real potential lol
It likely does, since it's shown keeping him from burning alive in the death mountain depths which means he actually has wet status so the zora boost will activate Damn!
@@rubellite4480 Maybe, but there are far more powerful ways to deal damage. Imo, the real benefit is in not having to purchase the flamebreaker set. Pretty useful if someone's doing an all-sage run.
7:31 legitimate use for the waterboard glitch right there! Combine Springdolling with Waterboard, and you can consistently ragdoll into a spring.
infinite link torture
Its crazy how speedrunners beat totk in under an hour so soon after the game was released.
He laughed like a yiga clan member 8:15
I really hope there are still glitches left after they’re done with this game, I fear that so many being discovered is just gonna mean they’ll be patched, which makes me sad
there will definetly be a good amount of glitches left, just like what happened with BOTW, they might not patch a lot but they might patch the more significant ones
there'll always be a few left, promise. no game is updated forever, eventually they'll shift focus to the next project and only patch major gamebreakers. we'll have plenty of weird little glitches to play with, they'll just change a bit over time!
to be fair it isn't like they're in the wrong for patching them
Nah, they only seem to patch easy to perform glitches. They want the average player (including more chaotic ones admittedly) to never run into a glitch essentially. But we know from BOTW that they won't try to patch all of them. The whole point of games is to have fun and a lot of people find these glitches fun, but they want to make sure that encountering glitches is basically a player choice lol
Wacko boingo is one of the many classic gaming moments brought to us by tears of the kingdom and shall be solidified in gaming history
Yes, the devs did pretty good at fixing bugs of the big new mechanics like ultrahand but somehow many of the old mechanics got more messed up. Still gotta applaud that the glitches are interesting and don't really get in your way in normal gameplay.
in 1.1.1 a glitch was found to be able to carry the indestructible master sword (msgnotfound) from the intro to the game. adding zuggle to it allowed it to do 95 base damage if you got a +10 mod on the zuggled item on the sword. unfortunately its now patched and now you cant get it. i was lucky to get a 94 one. it should work if you did it with the inf damage glitch.
another glitch is when you're fighting the ice gleok in the hebra region at the ruins and you hide under one of the ruins while the gleok is on it's second phase then once an ice chunk pokes through the ruin you have to use ultrahand and lift it out and then you'll notice that the camera doesn't follow link anymore until you close the game
I’m an amateur rivals of aether commentator and “monkecopter”, “yoinky sploinky”, and “the ray William Johnson” are all real tech names so I can appreciate “wacko boingo”
The best thing is, TOTK glitches don't make the game bad, they just make the game more fun :D Edit: I meant TOTK glitches, some other games have _bad_ glitches. Also sucks my TOTK auto-updated to 1.1.2 💀
Preach!
Yeah, that's what everyone says about Bethesda games, right? How about Pokemon? No? Only the ones they like?
@@TheDapperDragon It's almost like people don't like when glitches/bugs make the game worse and also happen during normal play. Both those examples you just used (pokemon/bethesda games) have game breaking bugs.
@@TheDapperDragon You have to go out of your way to experience 99% of these glitches. Are you seriously comparing that to bethesda games with thousands of game breaking commonly occurring bugs? Are you an idiot?
@@thechiliman500 Yeah, game breaking bugs like Tposing, or, gasp horror, a wonky walk cycle. Oh, I'm being unfair, sometimes in Bethesda games, objects will launch into the sky. Nothing like running on air, getting infinite damage, having items glitch out of existence, having items become un-interactable, or literally leaving your body behind. Look, you can just be honest. 'When we like a game, we see it's flaws as quirks. When we don't, those same flaws are ammuntion.' It's not hard.
Nintendo: Spends six years intricately crafting unique systems and new gameplay mechanics. Community's first instinct: How can we break it?
Fun fact: you can do zuggling in 1.1.2 (only with bows, the damage don't stack, but you can still break link and use descend when you use a steering stick) all you need to do is to save the game, then take out a shock emitter and activate it, then you take out a bow and put a shock resistant set (rubber armor) after that you get Infront of the shock emitter and you pause, then you take off a piece of the armor and you open the map, then you need to watch 2 memories, after you watched those press + and open the menu, then drop the bow, after this, you go to the map (without closing the menu) and watch 1 more memory, now you close the menu and if you did everything right you'll have a bow that just stays in your hand. To hold a bow together with the first one you need to select recall on the menu that pops up while you press L, then spam right on the pad (to open the bow menu) while you hold ZL and then you select another bow, now if you want to zuggle like 50 bows you need to select the map in the L menu and right before it opens spam right on the pad while holding ZL and then drop the bow you equipped previously, after the map opens you press + to go to the menu and then you load the save you did at the start. To zuggle more did everything i said except for saving.

I love how half these glitches are just the game mechanics working *too* well
8:15 bros got that yiga laugh
I love the way pointcrow explains glitches
finally, context for the stream. I love your videos PointCrow, I'm sick and have been binging ur vids for a few days. Keep doing what makes you happy dude
appreciate you putting the version number and credit on screen for each glitch!
agreed
For the fuse entanglement spring glitch, it stops working when you get out of range of the spring and it despawns. However, you can increase that range significantly by attaching a dragon part to it with ultrahand.
I think it’s incredibly interesting that this game is super broken but pretty much all of it is in a way that you would never find if you were playing casually
The title is objectively correct. As you can see, everything works as intended
Indeed
An alternative title to this video: Eric Causing Link Greivous Bodily Injury While Scaring NPCs For 20 Minutes
My friend said he was able to do this in a previous version (probably 1.0.0) but apperently, meat attached to items still register as meat when in the autobuild preview. So you can make yourself like frozen meat or cooked steak in hot or cold places respectively. And I think it only works with food thats been ultrahand attached not fused attatched.
And then in 5 years there are going to be 10+ step glitches to finish the game within almost seconds
16:05 Finally, D E S C E N D
I love seeing you have pure fun, it really brightens up my day :)
Omg his laugh at 8:16 sounded like a yiga laugh!! ❤
This game is a stable as my mental health
8:41 springlock failure.

14:20 IVE BEEN ON THE GROUND DYING FOR 20 MINUTES AT THAT T-POSE.
The water hydrant on a spear thing might be really good for the mucktorok boss in the water temple
im so happy with how easy dupe glitches are here
9:38 OOOOOHHHHH SO THATS WHAT THAT WAS. I WAS SO CUNFUSED WHEN I BOUGHT THAT EXACT STEAK AND THEY EACH GAVE +25 HEARTS, like no cap i discovered this and assumed it was an easter egg you get for actually buying the useless steak
12:38 being able to equip one of each type of weapon would be really cool it could have a quick equip of its own (swapping with the whistle command when in combat in a shrine or if you don't have a horse in range) the order is like this none/earth wake (slot 0) (none > earth wake if you have it enabled) master sword (Special slot) (must be found and not be on cool down) sword/dagger/club (slot 1) claymore (slot 2) spear (slot 3) katana (slot 4) boomerang (slot 5) rod/guster (slot 6) torch (slot 7)
Umm dude, so I know about Zelda, but others don't! 😶🌫️
When PointCrow makes a video with a title like (Game) has no glitches at all You know it’s gonna be a good video
Love the vids keep it up
14:40 gotta love it when you do a glitch exhibition and discover a new glitch lol
now if you combine the zuggle with the broken master sword as the weapon your holding you got infinite durability there
Link's best ability is B & Y thank you Nintendo you truly made the best game ever
0:22 It hurts to see ultrabroken (previously wacko boingo) undersold like this
When the chatter at 11:35 said "she wacko on my boingo till I zuggle" I felt that
I was just playing the game normally and this happened I was in shock I was like “I found an glitch!!”
Why do I feel like I’ve seen this video before
If you stand a far enough distance in the Tobios hollow chasm you can dupe larger items with a 3 shot line bow instead of a 5 shot line bow
you‘re so funny!!! i love this series and been trying out some of the glitches! it’s so much fun, but some of them are too hard for me to do haha
The way the Wacko Boingo / Ultrabroken glitch apparently works is that in that cutscene, they turned on the flag that moves items out of the way of the cutscene, and forgot to turn it off. So the item always tries to "move out of the way" from Link.
I like how much this game has been broken in less than two months
Great video! The glitches in this game are so interesting lmao
dude thanks for the huge unsolicited spoilers at 1:45 thats like super cool of you n stuff. especially on like a tips and tricks glitches video where nothing like that should be in there. just like super chill and not super unwarranted or anything keep it up man. :)
why would you watch a video containing gameplay for a game you've not played, and then get annoyed when there's story in it..
@@RtsShrtFrRtthw you do realize there is hundreds of hours of content right. when watching this video i had put around 120 hrs into totk. just hadnt focused on story stuff., saw a video showing glitches and figured maybe i could try for fun and less than 1 minute into the video he spoils a major event that has nothing, and i mean nothing to do with the glitches he was showing off. your comment makes zero sense
@@YourBudHeart i was in the process of playing totk when i first came across the video and i thought "hm. i want to watch this, but i don't want to risk spoilers. i'll save it to a playlist for later." to me, your comment makes no sense either. many people have warnings for spoilers, but many people do not. in the future, if you are bothered by spoilers, try avoiding content related to a piece of media until you've finished it.
@@RtsShrtFrRtthw ok cool. you done?
@@YourBudHeart 🤣 what even?
IT AUTO UPDATED AND THEY PATCHED THE TOBIO CAVE MULTISHOT DUPE!?!!??? AHHHH
Love seeing how happy you are pulling these off.
Been waiting for this video since the game came out. Thanks Pcrow and yes, I do have collectors anxiety in open world rpg games especially with no glitches at all :)
Great content always 🔥🔥
just imagine how many op glitches we will have in 6 years
I can’t wait
Love these kinds of videos, amazing.
been waiting for this, hell yeah
What glitches? I see none
real
Thank you for all your amazing content PointCrow!
First😊
@@waindoahyep hehe
@@totallyronan says what?
In the tobios hollow chasm dupe glitch duplex bows do not work because of the way the fire. They shout 2 arrows on the same path causing them to break when they hit eachother
I'm always amazed how people find those, like what is the thinking route of those guys to do those things lol
He totally didnt need more then 2 tries for the damage glitch at the Hinox. First Try!
Biggest spoiler 🥲1:51
The food glitch works with literally any effect, not just timed effects, too. You can do hearty stuff, sundelion gloom healing, etc.
3:04 Crow getting ahead of himself with that 2 mil 😂 Can't wait tho
911
Love the video, but those who have bot completed the dragons' tears quest may be disappointed if they were to find out about the light dragons identity. Though that group may be a minority, you could put a spoiler warning, bleep it out, or take out a couple of seconds of footage in future videos. I'm not trying to dictate what you do in your videos, but I felt like someone out there watched this video and got a major plot twist spoiled. Xoxo
I was a victim lol It’s my fault for not finishing story quest despite playing since midnight release but side quests/adventuring/or just IRL duties not giving me time to play has delayed me. Games been out for a lil while tho so it’s whatever and bound to happen. But ya as you said, a warning totally would’ve saved the spoiler hitting me fo sho
@@Snitzky not your fault at all. dipshit thought it was a good idea to include a major spoiler in a glitch showcase video
BEEN WAITING FOR THISSSSSS
Nice video man!
Dude. He adds on to the video and does it in an entertaining way. And he also covers many more glitches. (Not to mention the content creator he "stole" from has 1 million more subs than him. Do your damn research and critical thinking)
balls
"our last line of defense will be link" "link!?"
in botw and totk shield surfing before hitting the ground cancles fall damage, and in totk gliding and ungliding over and over makes you not take fall damage while still letting you fall at a normal rate
Atleast this game is not broken to the point where allot of glitches appear inside a normal playthrough
Which means for the dupe glitch, you could use this to get max battery very fast, by duping Large Zonaite
I see it wasn’t how it looked from stream yesterday🤣 nice vid!
Nintendo: “So everything is all good and ready?” Developers: “Totally” The speed run community a day after release: TOP 500 glitches in Tears of the Kingdom Nintendo: “hmmmmmm… Strange its probably fine”
love that the map in the wheel gets some great use like for a glitch rather than people wondering why the devs even put it there (i know some players prefer that)
The thumbnail is exactly what I did not expect to see
ur my favorite youtube thingie. i can watch this shit at 3 am and literally experince every single emotion idek how:}
Such a shame you can only do the subscribe glitch once per save file
ive been waiting for this video for ages
11:25 LMAO THAT PHINEAS AND FERB CHAT
BRO IM TRYING TO SLEEP BUT NOW I HAVE TO WATCH YOUR NEW VIDEO
The waterboarding might be useful for Zora weapons being double damage when wet
18:40 I can officially say "you got mad hops".
hey, just so you guys know. the load zone dupe works best at y level -156 or -157. its close enough to the load zone that you can shoot anywhere, and it'll dupe, and in a good spot that the items wont slide off the ledge.. but some larger items will break so if that happens go lower so that the arrows have some more space between them.
