Zelda Exploit On Switch 2 Lets Players Summon Ganondorf… Or Their Lost Will To Keep Farming Zonai Charges

by


As a dedicated fan, I can confidently say that the ingenuity of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom players has soared to unprecedented heights, potentially even breaching the boundaries set by Nintendo’s terms of service!

An unusual exploit for the updated Nintendo Switch 2 edition of the Autobuild Sharing game allows players to summon a wide variety of objects, characters, or items within the game nearly at will.

As a gamer, I can’t help but get excited about games that offer unique challenges, and this one certainly delivers! It features special items exclusive to shrines, areas with reduced gravity for some out-of-this-world fun, and if you’re up for an epic showdown, multiple versions of Ganondorf! And here’s the best part – no need to modify your console. The game itself is designed to provide these thrilling experiences without any need for external modifications on your end.

In the game Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom on Nintendo Switch 2, there’s an exploit called Autobuild Sharing that enables players to conjure up various items without needing to modify the game. By using the correct QR code, players can summon a multitude of new characters to join them in their adventure.

Autobuild Goes Off The Rails

A finding, initially shared by Dextero, has been widely discussed on Reddit and Twitter. This revelation appears to originate from the Zelda Notes companion app, a unique feature introduced for the upcoming Switch 2 version of Tears of the Kingdom.

The app allows players to share Autobuild blueprints via QR codes.

Initially designed for constructive use in building levitating vehicles and intricate physics challenges, enthusiasts soon discovered an unexpected workaround.

With the help of an online AutoEdit tool, gamers have the flexibility to modify their save files, allowing them to incorporate any game assets, not only those built by players themselves.

As a gamer, if you’re curious about this fresh exploit and what it’s all about, check out YouTuber 247MrNiceguy’s video where he puts it to the test!

By moving a modified game save file from a console onto an unmodified Nintendo Switch, and then migrating it to a hypothetical Switch 2, gamers can essentially transport any items or characters of their choosing, all while keeping their primary console untouched by modifications.

It’s Not All Shenanigans (But Mostly, It Is)

The options are… incredible. If you’d like to situate a Flame Gleeok in the heart of Hateno Village, it can be done.

Some are using it to summon hundreds of Eponas, Ganondorfs or dogs.

While many are using this exploit to summon chaos, some fans are getting sentimental.

One user shared their desire to leverage the exploit for summoning back the fallen Champions, allowing them to enjoy a tranquil reunion with Link.

No Modded Console Required (But Still Risky)

To be clear: you don’t need a modded Switch 2 to use these blueprints.

To begin with, edits for the initial save should come from a modified system. After transferring and accepting these changes on the unmodified Switch 2 version of Tears of the Kingdom, the custom Autobuilds function perfectly.

Still, it’s worth treading carefully.

Nintendo’s Reaction? So Far, Silence

As of now, Nintendo has not issued a fix – or a warning.

However, seasoned followers are well aware that the company tends to frown upon actions that even faintly reek of unapproved tampering.

Given the latest permanent bans on Nintendo Switch 2 for users detected using custom software, gamers are naturally feeling apprehensive about potential consequences.

It’s rather unexpected that Autobuild Sharing lacks an integrated system for verifying uploads, which could potentially be a momentary lapse in their setup.

Or maybe Ganondorf bribed the devs. Who’s to say?

Alternatives If You Want To Stay Safe

1. Save your work before starting the build process.
2. Take a break and let the autobuild feature do its job while you relax or focus on another task.
3. Use a dummy account for testing, so you don’t risk affecting your main account if something goes wrong.
4. Double-check your code or settings before starting the build to minimize errors.
5. If possible, ask someone knowledgeable to review your work before building it.
6. Be patient and wait for the build process to complete without interruptions.

  • Use Autobuild Sharing strictly for legit mechanical marvels, like flying mechs or anti-Korok catapults.
  • A Gleeok-slaying machine that finishes the job in under 18 seconds – as demonstrated here.
  • An electric Yiga trap (click here for reference of a banana-lover getting grilled)
  • A wrecking ball homage to Miley Cyrus (Shenanigans available here)

Apologies for any confusion, but the title of this piece seems to suggest that one can somehow revive their waning determination to accumulate Zonai Charges. Sadly, that’s not something that can be fixed. However, luckily, there are some glitches you might be able to exploit to get them instead.
