These glitches don’t forestall you from doing so, however they do present an alternate for folk who don’t wish to sit and look forward to uncommon ore deposits and enemies to respawn.
At the start, when you have a penchant for duping objects in TOTK, flip off automated updates in your Nintendo Swap. Nintendo has already patched out outdated duplication strategies and the brand new alternate options are more and more extra complicated. You possibly can flip this off by going to your Nintendo Swap system settings, scrolling all the way down to “System” after which toggling the “Auto-Replace Software program” button.
The strategies we use beneath will work on patch 1.1.2 or earlier, however we can’t assure that they’ll work in newer patches past that.

There are a few totally different strategies to dupe your weapon, however that is technique by Kibbles Gaming is our favourite method. It does, nonetheless, require fairly a little bit of prep. To do that technique, you’ll want the next:
After getting each of these issues, purchase show room for no matter piece of apparatus you are attempting to duplicate and place it.
Use Ultrahand to connect a shock emitter to a Zonai cart and set it up like so:

Activate the system, put in your rubber outfit, and use the d-pad to pick no matter weapon you’re making an attempt to duplicate. Stand on the horn of the shock emitter in order that the immediate to put a weapon on the show comes up.

It might take just a few tries to get this cadence down proper. It took us about 10 tries earlier than we obtained it, at which level we have been capable of duplicate simply after this.
In case you’re duplicating plenty of weapons, ensure that to eat some meals often, so Hyperlink doesn’t die by way of electrocution.
How you can duplicate objects in Tears of the Kingdom
To be able to do that duplication glitch, as described by Kibbles Gaming, you will have the next:
- Entry to Tobio’s Hole Chasm, which is a part of the fifth sage storyline, and can must be unlocked beginning at Thunderhead Isles. You possibly can entry it from above early, so long as you’ve at the least 10 hearts. It’s also possible to soar into Hills of Baumer Chasm (west of Popla Foothills Skyview Tower) and traverse by way of the Depths to the east to enter from beneath, to achieve the dupe spot. You received’t be capable of truly attain the floor this fashion, because it’s locked from the highest aspect, however you’ll nonetheless be capable of get to the place it’s worthwhile to.
- A bow that fires a number of arrows, whether or not it’s a Lynel bow, forest dweller’s bow, or duplex bow.
- A number of arrows.
Notably, you’ll be able to struggle a Lynel straight south of Tobio’s Hole Chasm at Kamah Plateau, so beat it down and seize its bow:

After getting these issues, you’ll be capable of duplicate any merchandise that may be connected to arrows. (This excludes bugs, frogs, lizards, and many others. Sorry, you’ll need to farm these little critters like a traditional particular person.)
You’ll wish to head down Tobio’s Hole till you get to round (1020, -2268, -0156). You’ll know you’re in the suitable place, as a result of fog will begin to envelope you — the identical method it does within the Depths. The fog will truly pop in abruptly. Your aim right here is to be just about on the road between the Depths and floor.

Stand at across the coordinates above and level your bow up this cliff ledge. Press up on the d-pad to choose the merchandise you wish to dupe and fix it to your arrow. (This duplication technique does devour one merchandise, so in the event you’re utilizing a three-shot bow, you’re gaining two objects, not three extra objects.) Hearth your bow in the direction of the aspect that has no fog, up the cliff ledge.
If accomplished accurately, you’ll see the objects floating within the air like this:
![Three diamonds float in the air above a cliff in Tears of the Kingdom](https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/UHrbAKjUFKWZR_WzrOtHj049T8U=/0x0:1918x1078/1200x0/filters:focal(0x0:1918x1078):no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/24698852/GameCapture_2023_06_02_11_54_14.png)

In case you’re not seeing this, strive utilizing a typical merchandise, likes apples, to follow getting the shot proper. Scoot again extra into the Depths if vital. Make it possible for there may be fog on the ground round you from the place you’re taking pictures, too.
Hearth off extra arrows, aiming at totally different spots. In case your arrows hit the objects already within the air, the objects will break and vanish. Do that till you’ve round 20 objects floating within the air. (When you’ve got too many objects, they’ll despawn.) It’ll look one thing like this:
![18 diamonds float in the air in rows inside of a misty cave in Tears of the Kingdom](https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/YOuDHBdxow2bTwX_brBPU602vnY=/0x0:1918x1078/1200x0/filters:focal(0x0:1918x1078):no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/24698854/GameCapture_2023_06_02_11_55_25.png)

Climb up the hill. The objects will drop out of the sky, ripe for the pickings. Gather your objects and return again all the way down to your spot to duplicate extra. When you’ve got a Journey Medallion, you’ll be able to place it for straightforward teleportation and placement marking as properly.
In case your duplicated objects are rolling down, you need to use Autobuild to put some picket planks within the floor with a stake to catch them, however you’ll must prep this forward of time, as there aren’t any platforms to work with on this space.

Be aware that when you have a five-shot bow, huge objects received’t duplicate as properly since they’ll hit one another midair and break. For instance, after we fired star fragments from our bow, the second and fourth fragments would explode and break, leaving us two duped star fragments. That is higher than nothing, but it surely’s simply value nothing {that a} three-shot bow will get the job accomplished effectively in the event you’re making an attempt to dupe larger objects.
