Breath of the Wild Glitches

There are many glitches found in Breath of the Wild. Some glitches can be used in order to perform speedruns, and others for useful effects. Some of the glitches and how to do them can be found below.

Speedrunning Glitches

These are glitches used by many speedrunners in the speedrun category "Any%".

Whistle Sprint

Main article: Whistle Sprint

Whistle Sprinting lets you sprint without using stamina, and is probably the easiest glitch to perform. To do it, just hold the d-pad down while repeatedly pressing B, and run around. You will see that Link is going the speed he does when sprinting, yet his stamina wheel doesn't deplete.

BTB (Bullet Time Bounce)

Bullet Time Bounces let you paraglide extremely quickly in a particular direction.To do it, open bullet time while shield surfing and land on a ragdollable enemy.

Wind Bomb

Similar to Bullet Time Bounces, Wind bombs let you paraglide extremely quickly in a particular direction.

SKEW/Shield Clipping

Shield Clipping lets you go through the wall and floor of almost anything, letting you enter shrines without activating the Great Plateau Tower.

Shrine of Resurrection Clip

The Shrine of Resurrection Clip lets you clip through the wall of the Shrine of Resurrection, allowing the weather to always be sunny, the time to always be 5:15, and allowing you to not watch the opening cutscene for the game. You spam the scope while running into a corner to clip.

Infinite Horse Stamina

Main article: Infinite Horse Stamina

Performing this technique fully recharges a horse's stamina while riding.

Fall Damage Cancel

Main article: Fall Damage Cancel

Performing this technique will allow Link to fall from any height without taking fall damage. Since the Paraglider performs the same function much more easily, this technique is only used on the Great Plateau before obtaining the Paraglider.

One-shot Windblight Ganon

If aimed in the exact right spot, Windblight Ganon can be one-shotted using this glitch.

Other Glitches

Care to do so?

Moon Jump

Moon Jump is a glitch that allows you to jump infinitely, meaning by repeatedly pressing X you could go up as far as you want. You get it at the Mounted Archery Camp. To perform this glitch, you start the Archery Minigame at the Mounted Archery Camp. Next, you get off your horse, and when the timer is nearly up, you mount a different, untamed and unregistered horse and try to tame it. This will screw up the game, allowing you to infinitely jump by repeatedly pressing X.

Getting the Master Sword Early

This is pretty self-explanatory, it lets you get the Master Sword with less than 13 hearts. To do this, you build a campfire as close as possible to the Master Sword as you can, then look straight up and open the campfire's text window. Select "Sit until...Morning" and wait. When link is exiting the sitting animation, spam A. It is difficult to do, but if done correctly, you will get the Master Sword. Unfortunately, this glitch is fairly difficult and may require multiple attempts.

Item Duplication

Item Duplication lets you duplicate weapons, bows, and shields.

Arrow Duplication

This is technically not a glitch, but it's explained here anyway. To perform this glitch, get any multishot bow (the more shots the better) and load it with an arrow. Before drawing the bow, move link by a campfire or cooking pot, and shoot the arrows into a nearby object, such as a tree. When done correctly, none of the arrows will have despawned, and you will be able to collect them. Essentially, this glitch allows you to use one arrow to collect two or more extra.

Durability Transfer

Durability Transfer allows you to transfer the durability of one weapon to another weapon.

Infinite Guardian Parts

This lets you collect as many guardian parts as you could ever need. Essentially, each non-functional Guardian has a certain area that it is expected to stay in. If you use magnesis, a metal box, and a dead guardian that is loose from the ground, you push it as far away as possible until the bottom of the Guardian releases a fountain of parts. Disclaimer: Although you can get hundreds of parts, you shouldn't use this on your main save file, as it will crash your game after a certain point.

30 Hearts

This glitch allows you to get a full 30 permanent hearts, rather than the 28 the game allows you to have.

Infinite Koroks

This lets you get infinite Korok Seeds.

Panic Blood Moon

Panic Blood Moons are normal blood moons, but happen randomly, such as during the day.
