Glitches

Copies any weapon, shield or bow, anywhere in the game. It works by dropping bows until the game loses track of what Link is holding.

You need: at least two bows that fire more than one arrow (multishot bows), and at least one Shock Arrow.

1. Equip a multishot bow and Shock Arrows. Tap ZR so Link draws the bow.
2. Open the menu, drop the bow, and equip another multishot bow. Close the menu and tap ZR again.
3. Repeat about six times, until Link starts to disappear from the inventory screen.
4. Use the quick-select menu to equip the item you want to copy, then in the inventory swap it for another item of the same type. Link should still look like he's holding the first one.
5. Drop the item he's holding. It drops as a copy of the item you wanted.

The same bow-drop setup, using the weapon displays in Link's house in Hateno Village. Empty a display, equip the item you want to copy, do the bow drops above until Link vanishes from the menu, then equip a spare item of the same type. Put the item you're copying in the display and take it back out, and you'll have two.

Open the same chest over and over. Move a chest a long way from where it started (about two map squares away), open it, then reload your save. The chest is back where it started, closed, with the item inside again. Carry it away and repeat.

Arrows shot into certain lit fires don't burn away. Fire a multishot bow (a five-shot one is best) into the cooking fire at the Kara Kara Bazaar or a lit torch in the Lost Woods, then pick the arrows up. At Kara Kara, stand beside the cooking pot and aim at the tent just right of the soup ladle so the arrows land in the fire under the pot.

Symin in Hateno Village gives you a free page of Hyrule Compendium pictures, normally just once. Before you collect it, talk to a Hateno shopkeeper, choose an item you have lots of, pick "sell all", then cancel. Now talk to Symin. The page you get depends on which Compendium pages you've already filled, starting with Materials.

Swap weapons one frame before your hit lands, and the hit doesn't wear down your weapon. Swapping your shield in the middle of a backflip does the same for shields. The timing is tight, but it's very effective once you have it down.

Run at almost full sprint speed without using any stamina. While moving, hold down on the D-pad (whistle) and tap B repeatedly.

Normal sprinting is still slightly faster, so mix the two. The game thinks you're whistling the whole time, so nearby enemies will notice you.

Freeze a boulder or crate with Stasis, hit it lots of times, and stand on it (or hold on) as the timer runs out. It launches Link with it. Open the paraglider as you fly to keep the speed (players call that "super launching"). Speedrunners use the boulder outside the Stasis shrine on the Great Plateau.

Jump, block an attack with your shield in mid-air, then jump again straight away. It's an easy way to slow down time from the ground for bow shots.

Jump again and again in mid-air. Start the mounted archery game near the Highland Stable and Lake Tower, and make sure you're riding a wild, bucking horse when the timer runs out (try jumping on one with 10 to 12 seconds left). Then warp anywhere. Link can now jump in mid-air, though he can't paraglide. Riding a horse or resetting the game ends it.

Works on any boss, even Calamity Ganon. Stop just outside the spot that starts the fight, fire arrows at where the boss appears in the cutscene, and start the fight while the arrows are still in the air. The boss takes the damage during the cutscene and collapses as soon as it ends.

With Moon Jump set up, warp to a shrine near the East Reservoir Lake, moon-jump out over the water without touching the ground, and talk to Sidon in mid-air. Start the battle, drown on purpose, then head to the bottom of the dam. Sidon follows you, and you can ride him anywhere in Hyrule.

The first time you meet Riju in Gerudo Town, walking up to the throne while she isn't sitting on it can stop her appearing in the cutscene, and the game gets stuck. The only way out is to close the game, so save before you meet her.
