How to use the Shield Hop duplication glitch to get infinite items in The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom

Crafting and cooking resources and ingredients are core to some of the survival mechanics in The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom. However, the land of Hyrule is quite unforgiving, and players often find themselves running out of key resources in the game, with their favorite weapons sometimes even breaking in the middle of combat.

While not holding the player’s hands is part of the Zelda experience, there are some glitches and exploits that many in the community have come up with to make things easier for those who are struggling with resource management.

Using the Shield Hop duplication glitch to obtain infinite resources in The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom

According to the Redditor, while it’s one of the simplest duplication glitches to exploit in the game, it does, however, come with a trade-off. The catch is that you will be breaking your shield in the process as Sheild Hopping chips at the item's durability. Hence, it’s only recommended to try the method if you have a lot of shields to spare.

Here's how you can use the Shield Hop duplication glitch in The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom:

• Press and hold the ZR button on your Nintendo Switch and then tap X and A at the same time, which will make Link do a Shield Hop.
• While executing the hop animation, you will be required to quickly open the menu by pressing the “+” button, and then select the items you want to duplicate. You will need to make Link hold these items.
• Once done, tap Y and B again at the same time, which will close the menu, and you will drop all the items that Link is carrying. However, you will notice that the number of items has not decreased in your inventory.
• Now all you will need to do is to pick the items up from the ground, and you will have successfully duplicated what you wanted in the game.

Do keep in mind that you may not get the process right all the time due to the tight timing that it requires, so keep trying until you get this duplication glitch right in The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom.
