Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Players Uncover Unintended Autobuild Sharing Exploit, Unlocking New Possibilities

In a recent discovery by dedicated players of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, a unique Autobuild Sharing exploit has been uncovered that allows them to summon any in-game item, object, or character with no limitations. This exploit joins a long list of glitches that have led to some incredible moments in the game, which was released on May 12, 2023, as the direct sequel to 2017's highly successful Switch launch title, Zelda: Breath of the Wild. At the beginning of the game, Link is separated from Zelda after Ganondorf's revival underneath Hyrule Castle, and his arm becomes gravely injured. Fortunately, Link's arm is replaced by Rauru, granting him the ability to wield ancient Zonai powers like Ultrahand and Recall. Just over two years after the game's launch on Nintendo Switch, Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom received a Nintendo Switch 2 Edition release alongside Zelda: Breath of the Wild, allowing players to experience the critically acclaimed games at greater visual fidelity and 60 frames-per-second. The Nintendo Switch 2 games also support the new Zelda Notes app, which includes a useful Autobuild Sharing feature for Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. The Autobuild Sharing exploit is possible now due to the use of an Autobuild editing website, which lets players access their save files and change which actors, or in-game assets, can be used for Autobuild. When injected into a modded Switch, the player can perform a local save transfer to an unmodded Switch and then transfer to the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom to gain access to the modded Autobuild. Players like Formal-Code2341 and CanYouPetTheDog have been able to summon herds of Epona and dogs by simply utilizing QR codes for Autobuild Sharing. Formal-Code2341 also summoned multiple copies of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom antagonist Ganondorf, highlighting the absurdness of the exploit in its current state. While some players are excited about this newfound ability to summon any item or character they want, others are cautious as Nintendo could possibly crack down on the exploit if it runs rampant. Since the exploit utilizes QR codes, it can be easily shared around with friends playing the game on Nintendo Switch 2 with a Nintendo Switch Online membership. In conclusion, while this Autobuild Sharing exploit is a game-changer for players of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, it is important to remember that it is not intended for use in official gameplay and could potentially lead to negative consequences if used excessively. As always, it's best to enjoy the game in its intended way and explore its many other features and challenges.
