Try at your own risk

Video games are meant to break – at least according to a certain subset of gamers. And with a game as big as The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, there's a lot to break. Usually, players exploit bugs to help with speed runs or tweak something in the game – say, add the ability to duplicate important items. Arguably Tears of the Kingdom's most important item is the Master Sword.

You can't duplicate the Master Sword, but innovative Tears of the Kingdom players have found an elaborate, kind of risky way to get an unbreakable version of the iconic sword. An hour-long video by YouTuber El Duende 05, discovered by ResetEra forum users, shows how to get the Master Sword from the game's prologue, breaking it down into at least seven parts: loading, saving, dropping and picking up weapons, playing with abilities, and a classic glitch hunting moves called zuggling (to put it simply, stacking or combining weapons).

Timing is also very important. Players must be precise with your button inputs, in addition to being patient. The moves eventually lead Link outside the boundaries of the Hyrule map to land right on Ganondorf below Hyrule Castle. At this point, there is one step that can go wrong, forcing you back to step three. Oops! (A good point to note: Players should do this at their own risk, as they may lose their save file.)
