Though older dupe glitches were patched out in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, there are still some pretty fast methods for duping in 1.1.2.
In The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, farming items like rubies, diamonds, and Lynel horns can be a pain in the butt if you want to upgrade your armor or just be a wealthy Hyrulean tycoon. Luckily, the Zelda gamers are hard at work finding duplication glitches that will completely obliterate your need to grind out the items.
As usual with these types of glitches, if you don’t want to duplicate items and you want to grind out materials on your own, all the more power to you. These glitches do not prevent you from doing so, but they do provide an alternative for folks who don’t want to sit and wait for rare ore deposits and enemies to respawn.
First and foremost, if you have a penchant for duping items in TOTK, turn off automatic updates on your Nintendo Switch. Nintendo has already patched out old duplication methods and the new alternatives are increasingly more complex. You can turn this off by going to your Nintendo Switch system settings, scrolling down to “System” and then toggling the “Auto-Update Software” button.
The methods we use below will work on patch 1.1.2 or earlier, but we cannot guarantee that they will work in newer patches beyond that.How to duplicate weapons in Tears of the Kingdom
