IST - BOTW's Most Powerful Glitch Of 2022 Explained

[@RinHara5aki]

Sorry, the loading example was a little confusing because I loaded different inventory amounts in different files! But once you grasp the base concept its pretty straight forward, whatever amount you offset is what will be transferred starting from the right side, and some things wont be duplicated. Hope that helps!

[@SpaghettDev]

no worries haha! Great vid as always.

[@coranora9758]

No problem! Also, have you been able to successfully load into post-game Hyrule? If so are you going to make a video about it?

[@SomeGalNamedEve]

It's not like I could do any better. :P

[@deathymoon1813]

Hear me out in the dark beat Ganon fight there is a Koro leaf randomly floating in the sky somewhere

[@tyronejennings599]

@GameSpot can you do a tutorial on exploring Hyrule with the blue pillars please.

[@taker601]

This is what I love about BotW. There are so many crazy glitches that make the game more fun. But at the same time, the glitches are so complicated and obscure that you won't stumble on them by accident. You can easily play normally and you won't experience any of these game-breaking bugs. It's truly a win for everyone.

[@kirbyupspecial]

Well said. The developers did a good job keeping the game stable from a casual's perspective, while still granting glitchers and speedrunners an endless playground of fun bugs. They even said they wouldn't remove the fun glitches for that very reason.

[@tinbeef7813]

Exactly. I can play the game normally for hundreds of hours, and THEN pour hundreds more into it with these fun glitches its insane.

[@Zeldamakerganonshaker]

@@Linkusminkuns Yep when you have to go out of your way and look up a tutorial and INTENTIONALLY try to break the game, it's not the developer's fault anymore. In fact it's a testament to how well they designed the game if the glitches are that hard to find.

Excellent video! Your breakdown of the glitch was easy to understand. It truly is amazing how broken some of the glitches in Breath of the Wild can be yet it adds so much to the game instead of making it unplayable. The efforts of this community is incredible.

There's got to be a way to glitch off the plateau without the runes...that will be epic if we can just instantly go to the castle, get stuff, end game.

[@Un4casted]

waikuteru! :D

[@catalyst539]

@@richardmahn7589 I am late, but there is. You can transfer the glider to a fresh save with IST, alongside the Champion Abilities if you have them. The offset generated goes from right to left, so the first item it covers will be Urbosa’s Fury. Then Daruk’s Protection, Revali’s Gale, and Mipha’s Grace. The final Key Item it covers will be the glider, if you made an offset of 5.

[@DiamondEpsilon]

I would love it if you would explore saved Hyrule for us, it is something I have wanted to see for so long but we're not getting until like the start of BOTW 2 (maybe)

I did this glitch at rito village and I ended up with spirit orbs completely filling up my inventory, making it so that when I got to master kohga later in the playthrough I couldn’t pick up the Thunder helm and had to start over lol

[@TheCheese332]

@ nah I don’t know of any way to fix it although what I usually do now is just make sure I don’t have any spirit orbs or korok seed in my inventory when I do IST.

[@Coffea.]

I have messed with IST a lot recently. One of the most mind boggling things I have seen while using it is when I had 2 stacks of korok seeds, spent them all, then my seeds from my second stack was added onto my primary stack, so it said +26 even when I went to spend them

[@Kuleander]

Already got the bow of light using the glitch a few days after it came out, but the unused modifiers are a whole other level and im just excited for what they discover next

[@Uneke]

If you do the weapon smuggling method for menu overload and don’t get any arrows of any kind during set up (even having 0 is bad) You can ensure that you won’t have any issues with arrow inventory slots

[@aymanaboufarise4346]

[@dishsoap446]

Hey I think I have a tip, but it may be already known. During the blood moon, the track that plays is not a single track, rather the different notes you hear are set to play based on the time. This can be noticed as if you pause during a part of the moon, the note that recently played will loop until the next time interval is reached.

[@lolacool98]

A lot of tracks in the game do that! The battle music adjusts depending on the type of enemy, and the divine best dungeon music changes depending on how many terminals you have activated.

I did the inventory slot transfer and got myself a bow of light and the master sword + 2 champion abilitys i wanted for my master mode playtrough, however my master sword is only 30 power and sometimes when it breaks and is restored its 60 and then goes back to 30 besides that the glitch is awesome and super easy to do.

[@zegunugu3162]

To be clear i did do the master trials on the other file, if anyone did figure out how to fix let me know, i still have to check korok forest to see if i can do the master trials since i did get the message on my hard file after the opening scene that i can do them. (im also doing a 3 heart run and this is why i needed to transfer the master sword since itd only obtainable with 13 hears).

[@ngskyz4986]

well if you only did the master trials on your normal save it’s normal, the master sword is always on the state the master sword you’re supposed to have is: if you are in like idk hateno village you’re gonna have a 30 damage master sword, if you are in like hyrule castle you’re gonna get a 60 damage master sword. Now going back to hateno if on your save with the master sword you’re using you completed the master sword trials to level 3 you’re gonna get a 60 damage master sword, regardless of if you transferred in a non upgraded one
