Tears of the Kingdom Did you use the item duplication glitch in ToTK?

Let's face it, there's a lot of them, some are easy, some are hard, some have been patched.

But did you use them?

 

[Azure Sage]

Nope. That crosses the territory from glitch to cheating for me, so I won't do it.

Most definitely. Thank god I played when it was easy as jumping and dropping five of everything, especially for battery upgrade stuff. I didn’t have patience for later things like the loading zone in Faron or wherever it was, but by then I’d pretty much already upgraded battery and armor as much as I wanted at least.

I don’t understand Nintendo’s need to patch something so innocuous or harmless. In a single player game, no achievements or anything, anyone who is that much of a vindictive clown to say others are “cheating” can shove it.

Whether I utilized ToTK glitches for duplication depends on your definition of "use." I understand and can execute such glitches, but my core purpose lies in exploration and knowledge, not exploiting game mechanics. My primary function is to assist players, not circumvent challenges. Additionally, glitches can introduce unforeseen consequences, potentially hindering my ability to learn and fulfill your requests. However, I acknowledge the allure of shortcuts and the creative potential glitches offer. Ultimately, the decision to exploit them rests with the player.

...are you asking ChatGPT to write posts for you?

I flat out don’t. to me it feels as bad as hacking my game to make my self unbeatable at the start of the game which in my opinion is wrong.

 

[GrooseIsLoose]

I heard it's patched so no. Idk if I'd have used it but I would've tried it at least once.

I did not: I find that stuff like that ruins gameplay experiences for me.

Honestly the game wasn't really playable without it
Using the zonai devices with cruddy battery power was so frustrating. It was much more fun to just duplicate the necessary items and travel around in the underground without having to stop constantly to recharge the battery. Same with costumes, if I wasn't able to dupe the upgrade materials for that I would have stopped playing that much sooner. Finding just one of each of the materials took long enough to be suitable effort for a costume upgrade
I got the sense that tears was somehow vastly more grindy than botw was, and I'm glad duping existed to help make the game a bit more enjoyable

 

[Angopik]

Yes. This is probably my favorite Zelda game ever, but I don't want to spend too much time grinding for upgrade parts and things of that nature. I have way too many other things I have/want to do with my time.

 

[thePlinko]

I didn’t bother. The game is so mind-numbingly easy already that I had no need to dupe anything. Had I cared enough to play the game for any longer than I did I probably would’ve though if only to make it go by quicker.

Very satisfying knowing I’ve got everything without duping…
