BotW New Glitch FAQ

BotW New "NG+" glitch FAQ

This new glitch was found by BlueHarvey. It works on both Wii U and Switch, but Wii U needs 1.2.0 update and language DLC. The reason why is because you need to exit to the title screen from within the game for the glitch to work. It seems dying and returning to title doesn't work.

To do the glitch, you load an old save file, exit to title screen, start a New Game, then you can watch cutscenes and collect items. After watching cutscenes, return to title screen again and this time load any old save file again. Instead of loading the old save, a New Game is started that has all the triggers set from the previous New Game.

This lets you skip the Shrine of Resurrection cutscenes and also getting the Sheikah Slate. You can still use the Sheikah Slate and activate Shrines with it, but it appears invisible.

It seems if the game autosaves, the glitch doesn't work for whatever reason. The reason for the initial old save file load is to skip an autosave from the New Game right after entering Shrine of Resurrection.

If the glitch is done again twice in a row without restarting the game completely, the game will softlock when loading up an old save file.

If there was some way to disable autosaves, this glitch could prove to be really useful, but there's no way to do that as of now.
