The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is a massive open-world game, and as with every open-world game released to date, it has its fair share of glitches and bugs, although far fewer than other titles. While some of these issues can get annoying, a few others can be exploited to do things that are normally not possible.

　　Among these normally impossible things to do is the ability to duplicate shields and weapons. As the game, like its predecessor, features limited weapon durability, having a decent supply of powerful weapons and shields can really improve the experience of those who don't like having their tools of destruction break up in the middle of a fight without having a worthy replacement.
