When you think of Breath of the Wild, you probably know it as that popular open-world Zelda game that everyone compares everything to, but you might also know it for another reason. Failures over the years. This wholesome game has slowly fallen apart and been reduced to kneeling before glitch hunters to the point where duplicating weapons, breaking reality, obtaining impossible weapons, insta-killing bosses, crashing through walls, and dashing across the map has become in something common in Hyrule as a precursor, let's keep in mind that we will cover the

That being said, let's take a time machine back to Breath of the Wild's humble beginnings in the early days of Breath of the Wild. This first major trick allowed Link to move quickly at all times by holding down. whistle button and crush sprint, you would not only use no stamina but also recover it and easily climb steep hills. There were rumors that whistling running was possible on the day of the game's release, and the first video was posted the next day. as well as a less consistent but quieter launch sprint which was also discovered on the day of the game's release, it is still used to this day in both speedrunning and casual games, believe it or not, this technique was found literally two days after the game's release, but the potential wasn't fully understood until it resurfaced al

a year and a half later, the shield cutout completely changed the game with its flexibility and ease of use by hitting the shield on an angled surface, length position is stored at that angle and will swivel back when you unequip your shield again by doing this bunk with the shield during bullet time, also led to the discovery of the skew bounce, which led to aggressive skews that launch towards up to facilitate bullet time in combat.

This concept led to many massive speedrunning discoveries, including skipping all sorts of shrines and skipping the sword trial altogether and has been in use since the base idea for stasis casting was technically done as early as July 9, 2016 in a wild demo before the game's release, but it officially made its way into mainstream speedrunning within the The early days of Breath of the Wild's release by spinning attack a stasis object and then grab it or hit yourself with it in the air, this link is launched at high speeds while people argue that it is just a physical manipulation and not a technical problem, what matters is that.

It paved the way for a multitude of general throwing techniques that would evolve over the years. This advanced technique was found literally a week after Breath of the Wild was released, but it was also ruled out as something useful in sprinting because it needed the Hylian Shield. a year later user yuda repurposed it for something completely different, combat, hitting your shield while jumping without breaking it would launch you upwards and allow you a second jump that would give you enough height for bullet time. It's amazing to see a movement that was initially ignored become one. One of the most useful combat techniques ever created One of the first major speedrunning techniques to get you off the big plateau tower.

This allowed you to fall from any height without the paraglider and not die on impact by launching and changing equipment at the last second beforehand. you hit the ground, you nullify the fall damage completely, while this becomes unnecessary once you get the paraglider. This remains invaluable to this day when combined with modern launching techniques to accelerate safely on the great plateau before obtaining the paraglider, shortly after the discovery of stasis launching. people started making random throws with double speed and distance without knowing why this throw seems very fast. Look at this, how did it launch so fast?

Almost two weeks later, players began to understand why these super launches were happening and it was because it opened up. paragliding, as the game drops frames late due to loading multiple objects on the screen, caused Link to greatly increase its momentum. This was further investigated and players developed ways to forcefully induce this delay to make super speed throws a constant speed running technique to this day. It was used in conjunction with many throwing techniques to greatly increase throwing capabilities, while the flying machine was quite useful for traversing the map without using any resources. People fondly remember this mistake more for the sheer spectacle of flying across a map in this ridiculous contraption by attaching a metal. box or mining cart on top of another mining cart magnesium upon seeing the bottom cart it will lift the cart between you and it will link and levitate the link upwards infinitely, it's hard to forget once you've seen it, one of the most popular glitch to date today due to its high utility menu overhead has gone through several iterations over the years to an optimized setup that now takes about 10 seconds to perform when having multiple multi-shot shock arcs active in a given area, The game's memory becomes overloaded, allowing the player to desynchronize inventory items in beneficial ways.

The ability to double and transfer equipment durability and leverage a certain NPC to perform the best groupie farming method in the game has made this one of the most valuable glitch in wild history. There weren't many major combat discoveries in The First Year of the Game, but one of the biggest feats at the time was the bow spin by pressing attack and bow fire while spinning a heavy weapon, I would place the active weapon on your back, put the bow in your hands, was initially passed off as a trick until I found its secret combat effects with great ice swords and great thunder swords to perform ice and thunder chains soon after I discovered the real freeze chain, which is still the only technique in the game that keeps the enemy locked in a completely frozen state and never breaks it.

From the frozen state while getting hit Possibly the most

combat trick to this day The perfect tower parry allows the user to use the roof protection infinitely over and over again, but to initiate this trick you must release CL within two frames of the striking link attack or bomb which makes this move not only efficient for combat but also a demonstration of great skill in performing this specific timing trick. The versatility of this technique became more and more advanced as time went on with the addition of perfect smashes for rooting quick smashes throwing and landing towers.

On the roof, there were small advancements in launching techniques in a Breath of the Wild at this point, but none of them are game-changers in terms of speed and distance, as the bullet's timing bounces, although it was initially shown in August 2018, it didn't find an audience until another user posted it on Twitter and it went viral by hitting an enemy with his shield to turn him into a ragdoll while you're in bullet time. The link was propelled to unreal speeds with capabilities that even surpassed super launches. Settings improved as time went on and this became one of the most common ways to navigate the world during speedruns by performing a sequence involving a glitching camera state, holding an item, and viewing a memory, The game then leads to unique effects, loading into different areas, storing shrine gadgets led to several important discoveries, including exploration. a bottom of empty pits that kept the hot air effects of Death Mountain around you, leading to explosive combat techniques that ignore all elements and, most useful of all, the ability to steal the Master Sword early and doubling hearts and stamina, perfect for completionists who wanted a full row of hearts and stamina, another version of this

bug was technically seen as soon as four months after the game's release with the discovery of the world reset bug, but it was quickly fixed and then resurfaced years later when a player wanted to take pictures with the guardian and then accidentally found the bug again by pushing it into strange places.

Breath of the Wild's map is divided into a grid system and by pushing a dynamic item, two grid spaces above the guardian would spawn infinite parts of the guardian, which led to the best way to farm ancient materials. In the game, the moonjump provided entertainment and speedrunning value, giving players the freedom to jump to any height and go anywhere they wanted by riding a wild horse while you had a horse during the gunshot minigame. mounted bow, causing the link to get stuck in this moonjump state. shortly after brought the discovery of an incorrect warp to Breath of the Wild, allowing Link to spawn in certain predetermined locations, including new areas he had never explored before, as well as outside the bounds of all discoveries in Breath of the Wild. wild wind bombs, also known as Bomb impact drops are possibly one of the most important ever found by placing two bombs in a row behind the link in bullet time, the wind box of the furthest bomb pushed the bomb closest to the link and launched them at high speeds.

This new founding ability fully armed every obstacle breath of the wild built to puzzle and explore and tossed it aside providing the ability to completely bypass shrines and traverse the world at a multitude of custom angles, speeds and directions, This technique of traversing massive distances in any direction at any time with very little configuration changed the breath of nature forever. Rift hunters have always looked for ways to kill bosses instantly and on November 9, 2019 the exploit was found to completely bypass the wind plague or calamity ganon by shooting an arrow before entering an intro cutscene, the invisible suspended .

Arrow took continuous damage throughout the scene, causing the boss to die upon arrival. The breath of wild speed. Running speed was never the same since the introduction of thunder completely opened up a new layer of combat in the game by pressing attack and archery while in the air, this would force the game to start bullet time and bursts consecutively, which led to a much deeper understanding of the market chase mechanic, which is the backbone of how the game figures out where to place the link while he rushes if there is something. We've seen so far that shouting fails, this would take the cake.

This strange bug is exclusive to the Switch version of Breath of the Wild and was initially found to be a curse from Lizalfos, but for some reason it was fixed when the VR update was added. So far, this bug was seemingly lost forever until it was found again through the Henox Curse and the Boomerang Curse by bringing a hit or style to a waterfall or throwing a boomerang underwater while the game was overloaded, the entire game engine. interruptions causing rotation error and some of the creepiest physical

possible in the breath of nature. Finally, what many have considered to be the most difficult, complex and most rewarding glitch in recent discovery is the memory storage glitch when performing a perfect frame menu complex glitch that allows link to play a new file while you have a memory saved and then complete the new game without dying because the game will not save. this allows you to link to duplicate colosseum enemies obtain the unreachable bow of light jump over the great plateau obtain 80,000 arrows and Also, in a sense, this is the discovery of a true new game plus and, by far, it is one of the most discoveries colossals ever found in Breath of the Wild and that brings us to today, this game has been completely transformed in the last four years and While this may seem like quite a few discoveries, the actual list of glitches easily runs into the thousands and will continue to grow as people keep pushing Breath of the Wild.
