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 with your shield out 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
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.
Getting the Master Sword Early
This is pretty self-explanatory, it lets you get the Master Sword with less than 13 hearts.
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.
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.
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.
