Zelda: Breath of the Wild version 1.3.1 removes Trial of the Sword glitch
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch, Wii U | 0 comments
After Zelda: Breath of the Wild’s first DLC pack arrived, players eventually discovered an interesting glitch. It involved entering the the Trial of the Sword and warping to a Divine Beast that you haven’t finished in order to duplicate items.
With the new update released this week, the glitch has since been patched. So if you’ve downloaded version 1.3.1, it’s impossible to recreate the glitch in the same exact way. We wouldn’t be surprised though if players manage to find another way of duplicating items with a different glitch in the future.
Thanks to Jake for the tip.

The Japanese ARMS Twitter account has teased a new character that will be available with the next update. New ARMS will be included, too.

Zelda: Breath of the Wild – News channel on Switch now live
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 4 Comments
Yesterday, Nintendo issued a new update for Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Part of the patch included the groundwork for some new functionality. Nintendo said it would be opening a News channel on Switch tomorrow that allows players to obtain unknown items when launching the game from messages that are delivered.
That channel is now open for business, but you won’t find anything there just yet. Nintendo will likely begin sending messages sometime this week. We do at least know that director Hidemaro Fujibayashi will be sharing “useful tips”.
With all that said, you can follow the new Breath of the Wild channel. Doing so will ensure that you receive Nintendo’s messages about the game, and you’ll be able to nab those mystery items.
Thanks to GIANTBOWSER for the tip.
