[343iBot]

Nintendo has released a new patch for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom in the form of update 1.2.0. This update addresses many broken quests and removes numerous duplication glitches.

The official patch notes don't specify the removal of duplication glitches, but instead, vaguely mention that issues have been addressed to improve the gameplay experience. As reported by Eurogamer, this update has, in fact, removed newly discovered duplication glitches that involve frozen meat and throwable weapons.

Nintendo has been quick to take out glitches such as these, as the community has discovered new ways to exploit the game. Players wishing to continue utilizing duplication glitches should refrain from updating to the latest patch.

Aside from that, the latest update also fixes a number of quests that would previously block progression for some players. In addition, players can now launch Tears of the Kingdom from certain Switch News channels to special earn in-game items.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom launched in May 2023 and was the month's best-selling game in the United States. It's already the second-best-selling game of the year and will likely be considered for Game of the Year awards later in 2023. Likewise, it launched to critical acclaim, earning top scores from most outlets across the board.

Below are the full patch notes for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom update 1.2.0.
