With this, link is now able to use the Master Sword with only 3 Hearts. To complete this glitch the player must have a bundle of wood on them, as well as access to the Korok Forest, by putting link right next to the Master Sword, and then lighting a campfire next to it, link can opt to rest next to the campfire, by resting, and then mashing A Link should pick up the Sword like it’s any other normal weapon. However, this new glitch requires link to not only touch the ground but lay on it. With link going so fast that game has to stop and load the rest of the world in, Link can make it all the way to Hyrule castle without having to touch the ground surrounding it. This sends link flying at ludicrous speeds through the sky. With a shield of any kind and an enemy in a specific spot, players can hop into a shield surf in the air, and by shooting the enemy as soon as they bounce off their head. Most speedrunners of the game don’t walk up to Hyrule castle however, they decide to catch a flight.

Glitches in Breath of the wild are not uncommon, and are actually used in speedrunning, as the game allows for players to take on the final boss without having to complete any of the divine beasts, the only caveat to this strategy, is that Calamity Ganon is going to become more than a single boss fight, turning the game into a boss rush instead, with link having to fight every single dungeon boss one after another before taking on Calamity Ganon. However, a botw player has found a new glitch to get the Master Sword without Link needing more than however many hearts he started with, while it’s not a legit strategy, it’s another one of Breath of the Wild’s laundry list of glitches. This takes a long time, and while players are willing to complete the many trials in the game, paying 3 trials per upgrade is something that not a lot of fans want to do. As Link needs to be strong enough to wield the sword. Or Link will be unable to pick up the sword. Although, while the sword that seals the darkness is something that many fans will end up picking up before taking the fight to Ganon, there’s a couple of hoops that the player has to jump through first, one of those hoops is having to complete enough shrines to upgrade Link’s health past 13 hearts.
