The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom got updated by Nintendo, and fans are happy to find out the new item duplication glitch hasn't been patched out.

From the second Tears of the Kingdom released, fans set out to figure out how to break Nintendo's open-world classic, and upon the release of the Switch 2 edition of the game, players immediately went back to work in an effort to break it further. They've succeeded, too, with some realising the expanded framerate allows for overpowered laser cannons and the Zelda Notes app can allow tons of dogs, Ganons, and whatever else to be summoned in-game.

Wind Waker on Nintendo Switch 2 made two tiny changes that break it wide open for Zelda speedrunners – a strategy so hard "only a few people in the whole world can do it" is suddenly a lot easier.
