- Zelda: Breath of The Wild was known as one of the most glitch heavy Zelda Games.
So what glitches still work in Tears of The Kingdom? Well, let's take a look at all the major glitches to see which ones still work and which ones are patched.
I forgot to mention this in the video, but due to the new menu system, Inventory Glitches also seems to be patched, as well as Smuggling Glitches.

#Linkus7 #Glitches #TearsOfTheKingdom
I will be streaming my entire Playthrough of Tears of The Kingdom, Speedruns, Glitch Hunting and much more on my Twitch Channel Starting FRIDAY! Be sure to check it out if you haven't already! (Link in the Description) ^^
Please post those to UA-cam after, I want to watch them after I'm done
I think i know how to btb in totk in theory you could Just use a bomb flower instead of an enemy i dont know because i dont have the game but if you could test it please do and make a video on it please
New Linkus7!!!!!!
it's not patches, it's running on a whole different engine, it's using same engine as splatoon 3
spoil me please. (no sus) just play it
Wow, they really patched out nearly everything. Hopefully speedrunners can break TOTK as much as they did with the first game. Looking forward to the next few years of glitch hunting
Well, the first runs have been already out. We're at 1 hour 34 so far. It's a solid start.
it's not patches, it's running on a whole different engine, it's using same engine as splatoon 3
It's a 3D game with a physics engine. There will be something. Whether it's Link slingshotting himself through the sky under his own power, or some weird physics interaction that propels objects much faster and farther than intended, there will be some way to move long distances quickly, and there will inevitably be some sort of clipping found (though then we get to find out of the game just kills the player when they're inside geometry or something). Memory corruption is likely as well, though it usually takes a few years/might get patched if found too early.
@@davidagostinho1807 a different engine doesn't cause animations to cancel if you perform a specific action, sprint to drain twice as quick if you tap sprint, shield menu to not open until you're about to land, disable enemy hitboxes when shield surfing, etc. these are patches.
@@gaming99927 Exactly really intentional stuff.
Man, the Upheaval really did a number on Hyrule. It even changed the laws of physics!
and the weapon bars are just so damn slow too, it takes like half a second for them to close
Wind bombs being gone hurts the most I spent way too long perfecting that glitch just because it looked so fun. Here's hoping that any new glitches will be as fun
I know right, one of the most useful bugs in the game
At least I don’t even know how to do it so I don’t need to
The worst part is that it made sense to not be a bug too. If you put an explosive that produces no heat next to another one of those explosives, the energy of the first explosive will send the second one flying, which would also send whatever that second explosive hits flying.
Yeah it's at the point where in my head it's not a bug it's a mechanic
@@drhody4229How can you call a mechanic something that breaks the game and is exploited in speedruns?
From a developer perspective these are quite smart patches, because they basically didn't have to change anything in the engine at all, they've just took a little bit more control over what inputs player can do at certain states of the character
Also the "double-patch" for sprinting seems that way because the initial tap of the sprint gives Link a little more boost than just sprint's movement - so he burns a bit more stamina to start running, and because of it can go up the slopes a little bit more reliably
For what it's worth, they are apparently using an entirely new engine under the hood. It's apparently based on the Splatoon 3 engine.
@@hassam363who told you that bro 😭
@@actualatom a lot of different data miners?
@@hassam363that's a nice argument senator, why don't you back it up with a source?
Seems to be the same engine. Though, Nintendo modifies or "updates" it as they need to, so obviously it's not exactly the same as it was on Wii U in 2014. Tears of the Kingdom also still uses the same physics engine (also updated since 2014 of course.)
Starting from scratch is good imo. It makes the two games feel more distinct
@Drew Mast If the old glitches stayed in totk the speedruns for both games will be identical with no creativity I see this as a win tbh
I wish some of the glitches stayed
@@gabrielstrong7322 Don’t worry, there will for sure be new ones.
@@gabrielstrong7322 shield block reset is still there so
@@Cye_PieI wouldn't really, would it? Because at most the movement speed would be enhanced much, but the game is far more than movement
The fact that BLSS was found so late in BOTWs lifetime gives me plenty of hope that we’ll find some crazy movement option at some point
I thought blss would survive since it was found so late but surprisingly it didn’t
Nintendo is just butchering the speed running community I hate having to walk everywhere without whistlespritning lmao
You hate having the game work as intended?
@@stickpfp6347 it makes traversing the game more convenient they should’ve at least kept whistlesprinting
@@domin8tion651 meh seeing the same glitches in totk would be less interesting, I don't want totk speedruns to basically be botw 2.0
They also patched the magnet flying machines. BOTW prevented you from flying if you were on a metal piece and tried to lift it, but this was exploited by just standing on a movable object that is above a metallic object, and lifting it, the game allowed it because Link wasn't directly in contact with the thing being moved.
Now the physics makes anything Links stand on behave as if it was ultra heavy in respect to other objects you try to move around, and even considers indirect contacts.
Sure but you can actually build flying machines now and they're way easier to control so--
Yeah but instead now flying machines are a feature
Ok with that logic weighted puzzles should not exist. Fuck Nintendo
Magnesis can lift object far heavier than link. So can ultrahand and whatever other ability totk has that messes with the world. How is it that link can’t lift himself but a massive metal boulder?
@@MontananMusician same reason you can't lift yourself in the air with your arms, even if you can lift something heavier than you
If you fuse a bomb to your shield and activate a shield surf down a lower surface (Ex: Slope) then when you hit the ground the bomb will explode and launch you very far and fast
not a glitch, but a speed trick that could help.
ROCKET JUMP
@@arcticfluffyfoxy no, sticky jump
what bomb? i thought they removed those
also im a lot less exited to play this game cuz these glitches are so fun to mess around with also I don’t think we will find any new glitches that are as cool as the old ones cuz the engine is the same so its not like there is gonna be anything new
@@nateyingling9063 there are bomb plants instead
As a glitch hunter, I relish the challenge of finding new glitches
Just wondering what glitches have you found?
with the new powers it should be rlly fun to find new bugs
Have you found a duplication glitch yet?
Most of the new glitches in totk might work on botw
@Coda57 really nice pfp
Linkus is such a gigachad. Not only has he uploaded a new video so shortly after the game's release, but made sure that it's totally spoiler-free. Can't wait to see what else he has in store.
Me too, stay strong soldier!
ikr im so glad he didn't reveal anything important. if he said that the yellow and blue dragon is zelda i wouldve been sooooo mad
@@daft8090 I really hope this is cap...
@@mikel.jordan6029 😀
Are you 6?
Whistle running being gone is genuinely heartbreaking though, once you learn it, it's ALWAYS used
i definitely feel that fuse will be the catalyst for initial glitch discoveries. hundreds of different items and even more fuse combinations, it's impossible that they tested absolutely *everything*. I'd very well like to imagine that maybe fusing a weapon to your shield will get BTB to work again, or fusing a bomb flower to your shield. with just how much they added, the TOTK content will definitely have holes in it, unlike the BOTW content which has been thoroughly patched.
it'll also be interesting to see what new physics based exploits will be backwards compatible with BOTW, assuming the engine they run on is the same/similar. I'd very well imagine the speedrunning scene for both games will directly benefit from new glitches that are discovered in TOTK.
Shield + Bomb works kinda like a rocket jump. If you try tho shield jump while having a bomb fused it will explode and launch you in the air.
There's also a few new abilities that definitely alter world physics, that are likely going to be able to be exploited - Like everything freezing in place when you go to target something with recall.
I also wouldn't be overly surprised if there's multiple non-physics/movement glitches from botw that aren't patched - I know the botw glitch list is a lot longer than just what was mentioned in this video, and that there's even a few weirdly nearly unusable in botw glitches that... might actually end up useful here.
The main thing I'm sort of looking at atm though is there's very likely some form of glitch you can perform with the gliders. They completely react to link's movement on them, and well... we all know how buggy physics engines in games can be. Between ultrahand and the gliders, there's gotta be some sort of insane physics launch glitch potential there.
it almost feels like they fixed botw glitches to force players to discover new ones around the new features
@@Imthefake honestly i don't mind that but they could have honestly at least kept whistle sprinting as you run out of stamina so fast and can't build a moving vehicle or get a horse yet before going to lookout landing as the world is so large. Plus when doing some stuff your horse despawns such as the great fairy with the musicale troupe which makes it a drag to tp back to the stable to get the horse out again. Like even with a full 3 stamina wheel it still depletes so fucking fast
There's actually one more trick you didn't mention: Fall damage cancel is also fixed in the funniest way possible.
Normally it would work by throwing your weapon in midair and swapping it off during the animation which resets the player's fall height, so doing that near the ground let you ignore fall damage entirely. In TotK you can't throw weapons in mid-air anymore. In fact, pressing R in the air activates Dive, and holding it makes you dive much faster, so falling off a cliff and attempting to fall damage cancel not only makes you still hit the ground, but you'll hit it much faster and harder than you would if you didn't press anything.
Inconsequential for a normal playthrough since the Paraglider is a thing anyway, but for speedruns this might be big since you don't actually need the paraglider to progress anymore.
Wait don't you need it for the final phase of ganon?
You actually technically CAN throw weapons while in mid-air... but if you're falling fast enough to take fall damage the altitude gap between where you can initiate the weapon throw and where you land is too short to actually pull it off before you land.
@@alexstewart9592 so what you are saying is, if you can time it right to account for the gap it can be done?
I tried whistle sprinting out of habit and was SEVERELY disappointed in it being removed because it just lessened the chore of moving from point A to point B 🤧
I feel like it’s more of a chore on your hands spamming that constantly 😂 just my opinion though
same :(
@Pixelkip definitely, guess its better for my carpal tunnel that they took it out 😂
@@Pixelkip nah, barely an effort
@@Maxawa0851 it’s more of an effort to walk huh 😂😂
Their fix to bullet time bouncing just looks ridiculous tbh. It feels like more people who didn't know about the glitch will think it's a bug, just phasing through the enemies like that.
Why would anybody try to shield surf on an enemy?
@@StopBuggingMeGoogleIHateYou -to crack the enemy's skull with a shield-first "dive" attack
-to crack the enemy's skull with a fused rock
-to stun the enemy with a fused puffshroom
-etc
Why would you think it's a bug?
@@The_Endless_Now
Would they do it in bullet time?
@@The_Endless_Now There is no one in this planet that will think to do that nevertheless in bullet time
im glad that totk and botw are unique games in terms of speedrunning, it allows botw to exist on its own and totk can have its OWN unique speedrun despite being on the same map. cant wait to see how both games grow together
It might still be possible to do BTBs, just not with enemies. It's been done with cryonis for a long while, but I think (unless it's also been considered and patched) the recall ability could have much similar uses. Not only that, recall is MUCH easier to manipulate than both enemies and cryonis blocks, especially with the addition of ultrahand.
If this is the case, exploring the skies may be immensely fun for speedrunners and casuals alike if the trick can be perfected again.
Unfortunate that all the cool glitches are taken out.
But I kinda like it. Since I'm sure there will undoubtedly be new ones found in TotK. And I like the idea of both games having completely separate glitches. It will make the speedruns for them very unique. If you could do all of the same glitches, it would be like just doing the first speedrun with a new skin.
I'm gonna be honest, as soon as I had control I tried to whistle sprint out of muscle memory.
I kept hitting ZR for whatever reason, and since Link had no bow he just stuck his empty hand out, so the whole time i kept saying as Link "here's all the fucks i give" *pulls out empty hand*
Funniest thing was trying to pull out a non-existant bow while sky-diving
I've found that horses are a little weirder than they were in botw. Try riding horse at full speed around 45 degrees to a ledge and it will start accelerating beyond it's full speed. Not sure if this was in botw or not but if it wasn't, maybe some good glitches could come from it.
Guys I think we can use the “fix” to BTB against them. Imagine there is some type of enemy or malice blocking off something just shield jump in Bullet time and you’ll clip right through them.
nope, wont work against floor hazards (though you can just shield surf normally on top of them and not be hurt), and it only works against enemies if you are coming from above
@@MakenaForest He means more like a King-Zora-sitting-in-front-of-Jabu's-entrance type of situation. And I had the same thought.
I think it’s actually great to dissuade people from trying to run by tapping b. While it sucks it removes concerns for “optimal running stamina” and allows people to run without worry.
Another interesting thing I noticed is if you're out of stamina from gliding and land in water, instead of drowning you get back the amount of stamina recharged from the red wheel. (When normally you have to wait for the red wheel to entirely recharge.)
What I’m looking forward to most with this new game is the hope that we’ll discover new glitches that can be used in BOTW as well! Similar to how the Back in Time glitch existed across three separate zelda games.
Thanks for this video and not putting in any spoilers! Can't wait to play the game!
W Linkus for actually having no spoilers so we can watch our favorite youtubers' playthrough the game or playing it ourselves
Another glitch that works is the shield block reset. You can use it off an enemy to get bullet time anywhere. However, Thunderclap does not work which normally can be done in combination with this.
I started whistle sprinting out of habit and it drained my stamina quicker than just running. 😭
Not to mention stuff like Menu Overloading was patched out cuz we no longer have Shock Arrows or E-Rods as single items; they're only obtainable through Fuse
Thank you SO MUCH for doing this vid.
I've had the idea for a couple weeks, but nowhere NEAR the reach you do as an established speedrunner.
Hurts to see so much lost, but I can't WAIT to see what we as a community find once we're free to explore the mechanics and take our time.
i personally think that most of these are good things to patch out because this will motivate the community even more to find as many glitches as possible
there's a new way found:
you can travel further distance by doing quick weapon draw/sheath while slow tapping sprint button during the draw/sheath animation. It only slows the stamina drain but no speed increase though.
Idk if this is really a glitch, but if you press attack and throw at the same time link attacks at a weird angle. It's most noticeable when using a spear as he attacks sideways. Idk if this can be applied to anything but I thought it was cool.
I’m gonna play with that a bit
Thanks, I'm not really far I to the game yet so I can't test it very well
thanks for putting the no spoilers cuz i just would’ve ignored it otherwise
When I first played I immediately tried whistle sprinting it really sucks that it’s patched it makes the movement so much slower
Massive W from Linkus here. As someone who hasn’t been able to get the game, I really appreciated this.
Thanks for being respectful by actually having no spoilers in the video!
I was expecting this video to be out soon after the game came out, but god damn this was fast
Ultrahand an object into the air for a short while, Recall it, then Ascend through it when it's not moving to go up where you're not intended to.
Alternatively, attach a piece of wood to an arrow, shoot it at a wall or ceiling, then climb on top and use Recall.
There's a somewhat complex horizontal movement glitch involving Auto-build that works kind of like Magnesis flying in BotW, though not vertically to my knowledge.
I wonder if moon jump is patched? I don’t know if the mini game exists in totk.
Incredible video I appreciate the no spoilers content
Kind of a big F imo, especially whistle sprinting ;-;
I'm excited to see what the glitch hunting community comes up with though!!
So many glitches were "patched", and yet one week later we are now swimming in ALL NEW ONE! And that isn't even counting the stuff that was simply incorporated into Zoani Devices. I've seen a four piece Milti-Stage Rocket for height, and a Rocket Board for diagonal movement. Combine all that with the new Gale and Stutter Paragliding, and One/All Dungeon Speedrunners will be eating good! And that isn't even counting all the stuff I don't know about yet. We are truly in a wonderful time.
as someone who doesn't have the game yet, the changes from botw to totk are really interesting. did they change the ragdolling physics on death in any way? it looked like link dropped down faster unlike how he falls down slower in botw, and the ui for selecting things with the arrow buttons/dpad looks different too (and i hate that i like it even if it does look like they just used an accessibility setting on it), not even mentioning the map having a more neon blue instead of a deep blue for unmarked areas and all the other changes noticable
Yes his ragdoll is different he's more floppy in death
If we managed to get some new glitches from ToTK and they are not tied to some of Link's new hand ability, I wonder how much this would affect BoTW since they roughly run on the same engine
Since all of Links abilities dont interact with the enviroment at all, ai lack the Imagination to find fun glitches with it, like maybe you can wrong warp with the updraft but even that is prob not very likely and unfun for casuals as well
It's a new engine for totk
@@KaitouKaiju it runs on the engine of Splatoon 3, which is based on, wanna take a guess? Exactly BOTW so no they dont which is exactly the reason why they resorted to this shitty BTB fix
I dont normally leave comments but props to Linkus for releasing spoiler free totk content in a world where every content creator seems to be speedrunning the campaign and posting ab it. loved watching your hitman stuff and now ill be watching your totk stuff as well
I’m kinda curious about other glitches now too, like menu overloading, duping, heart/stamina duping, moon jump, and things like that. Also I think they changed the way you enter shrines because of another glitch called shrine coordinate warp, although maybe they changed it for another reason
Duping is ridiculously easy as you just need at least two swords/shields/bows and fuse plus terry town to defuse the non bow method
Oh yeah i should mention that you also need at least 1 arrow using the bow method
@@JohnnyYeTaecanUktena when you commented this, it was even easier then that, literally just shield jump or paraglide, and you can insta dupe 5 items lol. I did 20 diamonds in like 5 seconds paragliding
Just wrapped up playing for the night as a casual. Kept thinking “why am I running out of stamina so fast while tapping sprint?!” Tried whistle sprinting too and thought for a minute maybe I didn’t remember the trick. After a few tries I realized they must have fixed it 😞 I even said aloud “oh speedrun bees are not going to be happy about this!”
This f you moment of over patching glitches sucks. I just want to flip over stuff without using shield durability and mitigate a painful stamina system
The speed runners will find new ways to overcome these things just give them a little but of time.
@@gamecavalier3230 No, but you can't unequip a shield once you do the shield flip until you touch the ground, so you'll always lose durability to a shield flip
Thank god finally a totk video I can watch without spoiling anything
I kinda wish there was at least one or 2 of the old glitches to start a foundation, but Im excited to see what wild new tricks we will find, and hoping nintendo wong patch them all
Nah I think this is better. Now people will actually try to explore new parts of the game instead of defaulting and sticking to older methods
@@MossyMoht Well shield surfing jumps are still in and give the same distance so at least that is one thing from the old that will be used
My favorite one so far for shrines especially is rewind bouncing, where you drop something, climb on top, and then rewind and jump after
would adding a weapon on the face of the shield make it so you can hit the target? And if so would that unpatch B.T.B?
With a weapon on your shield you'll just fall if you try to shield surf on anything
I really appreciate you making this spoiler free! Honestly I’m glad Nintendo patched a lot of previous glitches, it will be fun to see what new ones the community finds!
Can you still do a no damaage fall? I know you can't change the shiled mid air, but if it's close enough to the ground, I wonder if it's still possible.
try it
Can’t enter throw. Not even when low enough for diving to be disabled, I tried it (R bumper)
in the starting area, i found out that if you build the floating plats a certain way, you can get them to fly at mach speed in the direction they tilt, this is new to totk and is physics related
I also discovered the tap sprinting nerf, it's so odd.
We all expected them to patch all the best glitches, this is why i cant wait to see the process again, seeing what ingenious game breaks people come up with next!
Thanks for the no spoilers. I had to unsubscribe some channels because of the spoilers on the thumbnails and the titles
There is a rocket glitch where if you shield surf with a rocket fused to the shield and you put away the shield, you will be able to still use the rocket if you enter surf again.
But chances are it'll be eventually patch because Nintendo seems to not like it when people finish the game too easily and quickly, maybe they are collecting metadata somewhere to show to shareholders or data analysts?
There's also dupes you can do right now if you haven't updated yet, where you convert a item into another item, or duplicate one item into two. Chances are that gets patched as well.
man.... traversing the world is gonna be shit without these
If you're playing casually there's no point in using these anyways. Ruins the experience.
But yes it will suck for speedruns until new glitches are inevitably found
@@peeferin9476 i like to boom and zoom around, its fun, i dont like walking lol
@@mulchmulchmulchmulchgang4life Have you seen the new Star Ocean: The Divine Force? Even that is a little more fun to explore than here in that regard. And that's just repetitively dashing at a set speed and direction. In any case I agree, I love flying around at high speed.
@@mulchmulchmulchmulchgang4life Windbomb will be dearly missed :(
@@blubber0_0 o7 boomy zoomy mconeheart, youll be missed
something I'm curious about is if the bullet time bounce trick could be achieved if a bomb flower is fused to the shield, even if its restricted to specific environments, or if the bomb just wouldn't explode. I haven't seen anyone test with a bomb flower, only with unfused shields
4:11 That’s actually how mashing the b button works in BOTW if you don’t hold whistle so they didn’t change that specific part.
It looks faster here but maybe that's just Linkus mashing
Next can you cover all the combat glitches from Botw and if they work here? Magnesis boomerang, boomerang that infinitely spins around you, fall damage cancel, there's so many more glitches I need verification on.
*Tell me why he actually explained sprinting to me, I'm out here tapping away like damn this year Link has no stamina not realizing I have to hold the button unlike every game lol*
no game other than SS, BOTW, and TOTK have had sprinting and in all three games you've had to hold down
Good job! I downloaded mine from Nintendo from a pre-order. I too went off just exploring and did not take on the big multi block enemy. I just left him alone. Wish I had known about his energy block
I hope they stay they really helpful
Another trick they seems to have patched is when you press up + b while climbing on a surface that is less than 90°:
In BOTW link will run for a few seconds before climbing again allowing him to recover a lot of stamina.
In TOTK Link will immediately slide and fall. The angle of the slope have to be much smaller for the trick to work.
I've definitely been able to run on slopes nearly 90 degree slopes to recover stamina
We can't have fun anymore 😕
I accidently found an Ascend spot on the lightning temple that brought me straight to the boss room early. Unfortunately, the boss doesn't trigger, and the trapdoor opens to let you back down. They definitely discovered that one during testing. That made me wonder if the other boss rooms in the other temples work that way, too, even though I haven't found any way to clip inside them early.
I'm excited to see what wonders this game brings in terms of speed run glitches/exploits.
Recall breaks everything and bomb jumps are super fun. Ultrahand catapults are great. Clever Ascend use is better than Ravioli. Speedrunners may find interesting things, but the physics engine is all the glitch us casuals will ever need.
I have some ideas for potential glitches (maybe spoilers):
Recall could be used to create some funky collision between two objects, I know in the wind temple I already managed to use recall on a spinny thing and a chest got repeatedly crushed between two walls and it was going kinda haywire, could be potential for some crazy glitches.
Ultrahand is definitely gonna have at least a few glitches but one I see as a possibility is getting launched by them, I was in a shrine and I was on a flying device, I turned it off and as it fell I somehow ended up on one of the balloons, when It landed I got absolutely FLUNG across the whole shrine at supersonic speeds so not really a glitch per se but definitely potential for some crazy shit.
I get the feeling that there is probably gonna be some crazy as shit collision stuff with fuse, for example from what I experienced the minecart shields already have some weird stuff.
The bomb-shield could maybe have something weird happen although it's not a glitch it just looks cool and might be exploitable.
Definitely ascend will have a ton of glitches, just weird angles to go through etc.
I also wonder if autobuild will allow you to get some weird creations into weird spaces and do some crazy shit.
Anyway I'm a little bit worried for TOTK, almost seems too solid tbh. I mean there's nothing wrong with a game that runs without problems and glitches that the avg player will find, but I just loved some of the glitches from BOTW. And oh my lord stamina is so valuable now with whistle springing, blss and wind bomb gone.
TOTK hasn't even been out for 3 days. (ok, a couple weeks if you count the leaked version) Give it time, it took 2 years to find wind bomb, 4 years to find blss.
In the floating mazes there is low gravity which lets you unequip your shield much earlier. Unfortunately you can’t get skew so you cant shield clip with it but it has potential.
Im happy to start from scratch but tbh im a little disappointed that theyve finally patched the instant horse stamina renewal in 1.1. It worked in version 1.0 of tears, and obviously worked for all of BOTW. Now, even with perfect timing , the action prevents him from getting back on the horse right away.
I'm sure someone somewhere will figure out how to not have power be used or something and suddenly Zonai structures become busted.
I've been playing for some 7 ish hours by now, and I am *still* trying to get out of the muscle memory of whistle sprint
Linkus - I'll show only the area in the first 10 minutes.
Also Linkus - Let me show you this horse glitch on the surface.
I recently joked that maybe TotK was taking so long in development because they were trying to figure out how to get rid of all the fun glitches. It’s starting to look like less of a joke now
Tears of the Community, imo it’s a meme game. I hate that parry cancel is gone too. So clunky, disgusting.
They got rid of all of those glitches with Link's on foot movement, but I think they've opened up a whole can of worms with the vehicle creation and what glitches could happen with that.
4:31 they discovered that steering stick glitch, that's great
In my opinion the whistle sprint is the worst because pretty much every casual player I know used that. One of peoples biggest gripes with BoTW was running out of stamina so having it where just navigating the world didn't use stamina was nice. In a way it was also sorta balanced since the whistle would alert enemies.
I know that this doesn’t have anything to do with movement or speed run kinda glitches but you can still do the glitch where you hold out your shield jump into an attack (or bomb in botw) and jump back and get a second jump to get into bullet time and shoot your opponent so yeah that’s pretty cool (btw I forgot what that glitch is called so yeah)
Ps you can’t thunder clap rush anymore.
Incredible video, thanks for the information!
Just an FYI: Many old glitches will not be present in this game (but new ones will be) because ToTK is actually on an **ENTIRELY DIFFERENT GAME ENGINE** from BotW. Despite it looking nearly identical from a players perspective, the backend is a new engine. This is also why ToTK actually runs better than BotW did.
I really respect the developers knowing about all the glitches but only fixing them in the new game, not updating them out of the previous one.
I’m sure that when you try to shield surf with a fused item, the fact that you ragdoll could lead to some jank.
For some reason the very first thing I tried upon loading the game was that whistle running glitch. I tried it DURING the intro sequence, and i was disappointed they patched it out
i love that you didnt spoil and also put that in the title
I’ve found somewhat of a workaround for not whistle sprinting but the running up mountain advantage it gave. So it’s not to different than the original but it still has to be a somewhat slanted slope link has to be able to stand up one it but when you go to climb the slope climb it normally and then tap sprint and link will move slightly up and grab the slope again just repeat the process of pressing sprint as soon as he starts to climb it not sure if it works in rain just yet but if I find out I’ll edit this comment
Question about bullet time bounce, I saw on somebody's gameplay footage that if you fuse a bomb to your shield and do a shield surf you get launched upward. So what if you tried to do the slow mo bounce with a bomb shield?
And now for combat:TCR and anything related to it such as PDR is completely patched due to daruks protection not existing and you not being able to pull out your bow and weapon at the same time anymore.
On the bright side,shield block reset(SBR) still works in most cases.
Here is a speedrun technique idea (though it's not a glitch):
Get two flat objects that can be grabed by ultrahand and can be used as platform
Hold one object up high for a while and drop it
Use recall to raise it, and climb up on it with ascend
Right after climbing up on it, hold the other object with ultrahand as high as possible for a while
Rinse and repeat, and you can go as high as you want without stamina limit
One thing that I've discovered is, if you're gliding, say from a tower, and you stall your glider movement (let go of the stick) drop a wing, glide forward for a split second and jump attack, you can basically spawn a wing midair and ride it. It was only super helpful in the beginning with low stamina, but with the power you unlock later, could maybe be used to cover distance really quick, but this requires the paraglider, and at that point, you won't have a capsuled wing, and in any% runs would just forgo it since you can access the final boss immediately after getting the paraglider.
It is still helpful though for anyone that misses launching themselves with bombs.
As I've been playing this the last 2 weeks (sorry not sorry) I will also say, I think there is something to the "Stabilizer" tool. Basically can make a catapult so to speak, the only problem is distance and speed, which I think can be rectified in a similar way to stasis launching yourself, where you come into physical contact with the catapult as it's launching, but I haven't been able to really get it working, though I'm sure it's probably user error. This is also under the assumption that you can even get it easily in a speedrun, or would even want to. I think as far as speedrun glitches go, this game is going to be pretty straightforward. Maybe a skip here or there, a time save here or there, but nothing as major as BotW's glitches.
I wish you guys the absolute best of luck though. I really do miss bomb jumping.
I just realized something. It feels like you can’t pick up items as fast when mining, you have to wait until the weapon swinging animation is finished. I think this has to do with the BLSS patch, maybe they made it so it’s impossible to perform one action while another is being performed
thank you SO MUCH for making this spoilerless cause im so curious about this but cant afford the game yet
New tricks is good for a unique speedrun.
Bummed they took away the shield unequipping though, it was fun to see link ragdoll.
I'm not as optimistic that Ascension will lead to major exploits because it seems to me that Nintendo was very conscientious about how it affects movement in dungeons. You can use it to go up but not down, and most of the minidungeons outside of shrines are in underground caves. This means in most situations, you can use Ascension to leave caves quickly, but you can't use it in reverse to skip past obstacles. And I've only completed the first proper dungeon, but that one was also very clearly designed so that Ascension lets you get back to major crossroads easily after solving puzzles but doesn't have any viable options for skipping puzzles altogether.
That said, all it takes is one piece of weird geometry in a felicitous spot and Ascension could do some serious work...
thank you for keeping this spoiler free :)
