By starting the game from within certain articles released on a specific Switch News channel (accessed via the HOME Menu) players can receive a number of in-game items.
Depending on the state of gameplay progression or the location in which the data is reopened, there may be cases in which the items cannot be received.
Additional Fixes
Fixed an issue where players could not progress beyond a certain point in the main quests “A Mystery in the Depths” and “Secret of the Ring Ruins”, the side adventures “Hateno Village Research Lab” and “Lurelin Village Restoration Project”, the shrine quest “Dyeing to Find It”, and the side quests “Village Attacked by Pirates”, “The Incomplete Stable”, and “Seeking the Pirate Hideout”. Downloading the update will allow players to proceed past that point.
Fixed an issue preventing fairies from appearing under certain conditions when they originally should have appeared.
Fixed an issue preventing the meals provided by Kiana of Lurelin Village from changing under certain conditions.
Several issues have been addressed to improve the gameplay experience.
I’m still on the version they shipped out at release so I can keep my dupe glitch. Somehow I’ve put in over 200 hours in the game despite being a cheater, and I’m still grinding like crazy. Not sure why Nintendo set the economy the way they did tbh
There are several dupe glitches. I'm always running the latest version of the game and yesterday I gave myself 999,999 rupees using this glitch. It took me 5min since I already had a bit over a hundred diamonds on me thanks to this dupe glitch.
I play Zelda to explore and kick ass, not to worry about running out of money.
Yeah, I usually don’t mind grinding that much, but grinding thousands of ores by mining rocks that destroy my hammer for every dozen of ores is awful. You have to grind rocks to build hammers to grind more ores to trade them for other things but you can only do that a few times per day, and then you trade these new things for a battery cell. Repeat all of that 47 times to get the full battery. What were they thinking ?
Even if I enjoyed the game there is no way I’ll replay that ever again.
For me the armor sets aren't even that expensive, it's the upgrades that are stupid expensive. 760 rupees per piece is too much, it's 2200+ rupees per set which is stupid expensive considering how many sets we have and how little money we get. Not to mention some of the materials are just annoying to get. I got around 12 fire tails from doing most of death mountain region and the start of the gerudo desert area. You need 30 to fully upgrade the cold suit so I thought I might as well grind a bit to get the rest. About an hour later I got more 3 tails. I then proceeded to dupe all the tails I would need in less than 15 minutes. I've now killed plenty more but I still wouldn't have 30 if I wanted to do it legit.
I also didn't want to dupe and make it too easy. I grind a bit when I need rupees to upgrade my armor or add a room to my house. Hasn't been too much, but it's enough for a challenge.
Things that can make some money if you need it are selling the 5 meat meals. 5 Prime meats make meat skewers and they sell for a good amount. I forgot the exact amount. You can go down one step in the meats and sell that skewer for like 135, I believe.
Breaking apart the fire/ice/lighting Wizrobe weapons and selling the gems.
How did you play without updating? My wife and I are driving through northern Canada with no service and her Switch didn't allow her to start the game because the update was mandatory. I'm not even sure how the device knew there was an update needed.
After 1.1.2 came out and mine auto update, I turned off automatic updates, removed my home's SSID settings from the network settings, and turned it on airplane mode just to be sure.
