Glitches in Hyrule Warriors

These are known glitches which are possible to perform in. Please read the Glitch Disclaimer Notes before attempting any of the glitches on this page.

Undead Enemy Glitch

 * Effect: Enemy stays alive.
 * Prerequisites: Defeat an enemy just as a battle is won.
 * How to: If you damage and defeat an enemy just as the VICTORY banner appears on the screen, the enemy will stay alive after the match has ended, or will remain for a longer amount of time compared to the rest of the army.

Max Rupees Glitch

 * Effect: Obtain nearly unlimited Rupees.
 * Prerequisites: Defeat a giant boss by depleting its Weak Point Gauge, but without performing a Weak Point Smash.
 * How to: The player must have a weapon with Rupees+ slot and head into a battle with a giant boss (such as King Dodongo, Gohma, Argorok, or Manhandla) and deplete their Weak Point Gauge, but without performing a Weak Point Smash. Instead, the player must defeat the monster without entering the yellow ring which activates the Weak Point Smash. Once done, the player must immediately attack a small foe as the boss disintegrates. This will transmit the max Rupees glitch, sending in 9,999,999 Rupees to the player’s data. This glitch works continuously.

Living Defeat Glitch

 * Effect: Lose a battle due to a playable warrior dying without the warrior dying.
 * Prerequisites: Be killed in battle nearby a healing item.
 * How to: The player must be defeated by an enemy during a battle while next to a heart. If aimed correctly, the warrior's "corpse" will fall onto the heart as the defeat message pops up. Despite the battle already being over, the game will still heal the warrior, and a few seconds later the warrior will stand back up. However, the battle will still be lost.
