Zelda Tears of the Kingdom update 1.2.1

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom just got a new update with Nintendo making version 1.2.1 now available.

The patch notes indicate that a few key issues have been addressed. These include screen flickering on the map, obtaining the contents of treasure chests attached to Flux Constructs, and an event trigger for collecting all Bubbul Gems. Other unspecified issues have been addressed as well, Nintendo says.

Here’s the full rundown straight from the Big N:

Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom update version 1.2.1 patch notes

  • Fixed an issue that sometimes caused the screen to flicker intensely when large amounts of stamps were placed on the Map.
  • Fixed an issue that prevented players from obtaining the contents of treasure chests attached to Flux Constructs when the treasure chests vanished as a result of the Flux Construct’s attacks.
    • If the treasure chest vanished, reloading the save data will either restore the treasure chest or cause the chest’s contents to automatically appear in your Pouch.
  • If a certain event does not trigger when talking to Koltin after collecting all of the Bubbul Gems, downloading this update data will fix it so that the event triggers.
  • Several other issues have been addressed to improve the gameplay experience.

This is the first update for Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom in nearly two months. Version 1.2.0 dropped at the very start of July, and you can read more about it here.
