Alright, so there’s this really wacky thing happening in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Players stumbled onto this oddball Autobuild Sharing loophole that’s letting them conjure up game items without a hitch. Like, anything goes. It’s like this glitch joins a wild parade of quirky discoveries in the game that are just, well, bananas.
So picture this: Nintendo drops Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom on May 12, 2023, as the follow-up to that big hit from 2017, Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Right off the bat, Link and Zelda are thrown into chaos with Ganondorf waking up under Hyrule Castle, and poof, Link’s arm? Totally messed up. But hey, Rauru swoops in, swaps his arm, and now Link can use these crazy Zonai powers like Ultrahand. Fast forward, a couple of years go by and boom, we get the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition paired with Breath of the Wild. Better graphics, a smooth 60 FPS – the whole shebang. And – wait for it – the Zelda Notes app makes its debut, complete with this Autobuild Sharing thing.
So get this – folks over on Reddit and Twitter can’t stop talking about this glitch, courtesy of players like Formal-Code2341 and CanYouPetTheDog. Imagine using QR codes to summon Epona herds. Yes, plural. And dogs! And Ganondorf clones like there’s no tomorrow. It’s like these players poked a hole in the matrix.
One player, Aster______, breaks down the chaos. There’s this editing site for Autobuild, right? Lets you tinker with save files and play with what in-game stuff can be Autobuilt. It’s getting transferred from a modded Switch to one of those sleek Nintendo Switch 2 consoles, and bam! Access granted.
Now, players are kinda baffled why Nintendo hasn’t thrown a security blanket over this whole Autobuild Sharing to stop the chaos in its tracks. Though some are keeping a low profile, thinking Nintendo might bring the hammer down if this spreads. But given it’s all based on QR codes, passing these cheats around like candy seems just too easy with Nintendo Switch Online.
And there you have it, the beautiful mess in the land of Hyrule when you mix magic, technology, and a touch of chaos.
