While some people are still discovering new things to do in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, others are making the game do new things for them. We have reported on a number of occasions about the Inventory Slot Transfer glitch in the game and how it can be used to max out your materials or provide all the Korok Seeds (though good luck sleeping after using that method, Hestu knows your secret).
The popular glitch has come up gold once again this week as the YouTube channel Gaming Reinvented has discovered yet another use for this fiddly alteration. This time, instead of simply maxing out your materials to the usual highest quantity of 999, this method (involving a trip to our beloved Eventide Island) lets you bulk up your quiver to hold 10,000 of each arrow.
The full run-through of the glitch in action can be found in the video at the top of this article, but for those of you who want to perform this trick on the go, we have broken it down into the following steps:
- Make sure you have enough empty weapon slots to match the arrow type that you want to corrupt. The arrow count goes as follows: Arrow, Fire Arrow, Ice Arrow, Shock Arrow, Bomb Arrow, Ancient Arrow. If you want to corrupt, let's say, your Ancient Arrows, you'll need six weapon slots available, five for Bomb Arrows, four for Shock and so on...
- Equip the final bow in your inventory — this will provide the ability value for the arrow count, so make sure to pick a good one.
- Save the game.
- You need as many glitch slots as there are key items and weapon slots put together, calculate this to work out how many IST slots you will need.
- Set up the IST slots as usual (we recommend using this Gaming Reinvented video if this is new to you).
- Head over to Eventide Island and collect as many weapons as needed to fill the glitched slots - if duplicating Ancient Arrows, you'll want to collect six weapons.
- Reload the save from step 3.
- Don't open the menu or reload the game! Instead, run around until you hit an autosave.
- Reload the autosave.
Bah Bah Bah Baaaaaaa (wow, the Zelda chest sound really doesn't work well on the page), you will now have 10,000 of whichever item you chose to corrupt! Easy, right? Well, no, but it sure will make the game a whole lot more interesting when you can go about firing off arrows willy-nilly without needing to worry about the dreaded empty quiver.
Be sure to check out the full video above for a detailed rundown of the glitch process.

Random: Popular Zelda: Breath of the Wild videogame can get you 10,000 NintendoLife articles
(lol just kidding )
Does the item dupe only work for new games and you can only do one item? I’ve never really understood how this works but every instruction I’ve seen seems to have one make a new game and the item you dupe stays in the that.
The only BOTW news I want is the sequel's release date. These BOTW articles on NintendoLife are starting to get a little uninspiring.
10,000 of any Arrow is amazing. Archery is OP in BotW.
Still not quite getting this whole IST slots thing. This looks very complicated and difficult to reproduce without potentially futzing it up somewhere in the middle.
Some people say glitch, some say hack, most say cheating!
@dew12333 and others say fun! If you've already finished the game normally and want more, the glitches can be lots of fun.
When the extra arrows glitch got patched out thats when and why I stopped playing.
I remember the first time I saw how to get 99 lives on Super Mario Bros. 3 and New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe. It's memorable. I approve of people finding glitches like this: it keeps the game exciting
One of these days I'll have to get back into this game; use whatever glitches and play through.
Item breakage was the reason I quit (bad mechanic imo) but if I can cheese stuff then I'll just do that and play through.
I can't imagine that anyone would do any of this crazy stuff in order to use it to play the game. This is glitching as performance art. It's done for its own sake. Let's not forget that BOTW is still a wonderful game to play normally, with solid physics and rewarding balance even if you're not stasis launching yourself miles into the air or duplicating items just to show off.
That subtitle convinced me to lookup something I never considered… Legolas fired 55 arrows across the LOTR Trilogy. I’m disappointed he didn’t fire more arrows considering he’s an archer.
@Axecon I agree.
Glitches tend to ruin the experience if they occur during your first playthrough. After that, glitches make the game more fun!
Trying to do the Inventory Slot Transfer glitch is what I don't get still even when looking at the other link to IST how to do it. They are going way to fast.
