Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Item Duplication [Glitch]

Don't want to farm for items? Check out this item duplication Tears of the Kingdom guide to duplicate any item quickly.

A bug occurs in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom about Item Duplication. This glitch lets you duplicate items, weapons, shields, and materials. In short, you won’t have to spend your time farming for the materials as you can duplicate them. However, it could be possible for Nintendo to fix this bug in the latest patch, so make sure to take benefit of it as much as possible till then. So, let’s see more about Item Duplication Tears of the Kingdom. 

Key Takeaways

Item duplication is an ongoing glitch in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom which lets you double any item, weapon, or shield.

  • There are two methods to duplicate the items.
  • The first one is to duplicate most of the materials the other one is to duplicate weapons and shields.
  • If item duplication is not working for you, you need to master instantly pressing the plus button, as I also had some trouble with it.

What Is Item Duplication?

Item Duplication is not an official ability you can acquire. This glitch has been found in the game, which lets you double almost every item, weapon, shield, and material in Tears of the Kingdom.

If you want more rupees or more materials of any type, you can use this glitch any time you want. However, there is no assurance that Nintendo won’t punish you for using this trick, so make sure not to use it consistently. Just use it when you really want to; otherwise, do some farming.

The process is not complicated, as it requires just a few clicks and takes only a couple of seconds. This way, you can duplicate hundreds of copies within an hour, which would mean an unlimited supply.

How To Duplicate Items In Tears of the Kingdom

First, remember that you need four things in order for the glitch to work. You will need two bows, a single arrow, and an item you can infuse with the bow. The material you are going to fuse to the arrow is the one that is going to be duplicated. When you have all the items, then just follow these steps:

  1.  Tap the ZR button to pull out the bow. 
  2. Don’t try to aim, as you just need to fuse the material you want to duplicate to the arrow.
  3. Press up on the D-pad to fuse the material.
  4. Press the plus button to pause, and then move to the Bows and Arrows tab to drop your bow.
  5. Now, equip the different bow and press the plus button twice as soon as possible to close and then instantly re-open the tab.
  6. Drop the currently equipped bow, too, and exit the menu.
  7. You will see both bows with infused materials on the ground, so pick them.

When done correctly, you will gain an extra copy of the item that you wanted to duplicate. If the glitch didn’t work, then you might not have pressed the plus button twice instantly. So, to make it works instantly, press the plus button; otherwise, the glitch won’t work. If the glitch still doesn’t work that then go to a place where the ground is plain, as sometimes the glitch doesn’t work in areas that are not plain.
