While many of these glitches have been tested by editors, we cannot promise that these glitches won't harm your game data or game console. We ask that you please read the Glitch Disclaimer Notes before attempting any of these glitches.
The following is a large list of all the known glitches that can be performed in Breath of the Wild. Each glitch will come with instructions on what the glitch does, how to perform the glitch, and if the glitch has been patched (i.e. fixed) or not.
Makes Link sprint at almost top speed without losing Stamina.
Requirements
None
Instructions
While moving, hold down on the D-Pad and repeatedly tap the sprint button (B).
Notes
Ideally, the player should alternate between normal sprinting and whistle sprinting for on-foot traversal, since normal sprinting is still slightly faster.
Even when no audible sound is being made, the game still treats this as constantly whistling; because of this, whistle sprinting will alert nearby enemies and other wildlife of your presence.
A similar glitch — "Throw Sprinting" — can be performed by simultaneously pressing B and R repeatedly with a weapon equipped. This has the advantage of not making as much noise, but it is also more awkward to perform and gives less consistent speed.
Fast-Travel Softlock
This glitch has been patched.
Fast-Travel Softlock 3Cjj8oxKGgg
Effect
Softlocks the game.
Requirements
Must has a registered Horse and access to an Ancient Shrine saved as a travel point on the map.
Instructions
Position your Horse on the travel point in front of a shrine entrance. Then, travel to the same shrine as the one the Horse is positioned on. If done correctly, Link will show up at the travel point but will be placed on the Horse at an incorrect angle, softlocking the game.
Notes
To get out of the softlock, the game must be closed out of or reset, so make sure to save before trying this.
