New Breath Of The Wild Glitch Lets You Harvest Infinite Korok Seeds

A new glitch has been discovered that makes it possible to keep collecting the same Korok Seed over and over again in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. It’s not the easiest trick to pull off, but it’s nothing compared to trying to locate and retrieve each Korok Seed in the game individually.

Discovered by Breath of the Wild player Bot_W and demonstrated in a video posted yesterday by YouTuber Gaming Reinvented, the glitch requires tricking the game into giving you one of the Korok Seeds without the full animation playing out and thus registering that it’s already been collected once.

Doing this requires making use of another recently-discovered glitch called moonwalking, which allows the player to do an infinite number of mini-jumps. This step can itself be a bit complicated, relying on a combination of the “hold smuggling” and “walk on horse” glitches.

The first part is accomplished by dropping an item, getting hit by a bomb or jelly, and then teleporting at just the right moment afterwards. The player then needs to trigger the text box for finding a new item and quickly pause the game to select an item for Link to hold. This makes it possible for him to ride horses while standing, which in turn makes it possible to kill the horse he’s standing on and unlock infinite jumps, resulting in the ability to “moonwalk.”

Once it’s active, the player can moonwalk over the Korok Seed hidden in a tree just outside the Ya Naga Shrine on Lake Hylia, at which point the button prompt to collect the seed will momentarily appear. Instead of triggering the normal animation, snagging it then brings up the text box for collecting the seed and adds one Korok seed to your total. But the Korok itself will stay in the ground, letting you keep collecting seeds from it.

It requires a lot of leg work and some degree of technical precision, but this glitch offers an alternate route to collecting Korok Seeds, which unlock upgrades for Link, without having to scour the world for all 900 like normal. Of course, messing the trick up even once will ruin it forever, so it’s also necessary to save after every successful attempt.

This glitch may not stick around forever. Back in the early days of Breath of the Wild, there was another way to infinitely harvest Korok Seeds (and items and chests, too) by resetting various parts of the game world. Nintendo ended up patching that exploit in the game’s 1.3.1 update.

Lisboa Board Game Review

Designed by: Vital Lacerda Published by: Eagle Gryphon Games Players: 1-4 Playtime: 60-120 Minutes Review copy supplied free of charge by Asmodee UK Jesus Christ, I have absolutely no idea where to even start with Lisboa, the latest table-hogging, mind-destroying eurogame from the highly respected Vital Lacerda. I’ve reviewed one game from Vital previously and utterly adored its lavish production values and stellar gameplay, but damn was it hard to review simply due to the way every mechanic tied to everything else. To explain one thing meant having to digress into about a billion other things before stumbling back to the original topic like a drunk emerging from a pub lock-in. It was confusing. Lisboa is just as complex and tricky to discuss, so please forgive me as I muddle through talking about Lacerda’s latest attempt to turn my already worryingly overheating brain into a melting pot of pink goo. The entire game is based around Lisbon, which is actually Lacerda’s hometown an...

Seriously Lazy Colonists

Platforms: PS4, Xbox One, PC Reviewed On: PC Developer: Mothership Entertainment Publisher: Team17 Singleplayer: Yes Multiplayer: No Review code provided free of charge by the publisher. My love of sci-fi mingles with my enjoyment of ruining people’s lives through ineffectual planning and general stupidity in Aven Colony, which takes the joys of constructing a city and then throws a thin science fiction theme at it in the vague hopes it’ll stick. Coming from a small team of just five people I wanted to be very clear about my feelings before we even jump in; it’s a good game, and such a small team should be damn proud to have built it from the ground up. They’ve got a bloody good future ahead of them. At its core Aven is a very safe city-building/management game where you’ll be juggling your people’s desires for a short commute to work with having enough farms to feed them all, power to keep everything running, a constant water supply and even policing to ensure crime is kept t...

Fans Are Trying To Remake Dino Crisis In Unreal Engine 4

Screenshot: Team Arklay (YouTube) Debuting 20 years ago this month in Japan, Capcom’s short-lived Dino Crisis series asked, “What if dinosaurs instead of zombies?” Now, some fans have taken it upon themselves to remake Dino Crisis using Unreal Engine 4. The first Dino Crisis game remains a bright spot in the PS1 catalog, and despite the longing of fans eager to see it reemerge all these years later, it wasn’t part of the PlayStation Classic’s library and isn’t available as part of any HD collection. Given the anniversary, this seemed like as good a year as any for Capcom to announce some sort of remake similar to Resident Evil 2, but E3 came and went without any news. No wonder, then, that the modder group Team Arklay has taken it upon themselves to try and give Dino Crisis a second life in Unreal Engine 4. As first spotted by DSO Gaming, the team has been releasing videos of its work on YouTube in recent weeks. The latest includes a deep dive into eerie, steel-plated hallways. There ...
