There's a new glitch in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom that allows players to make Link's Master Sword unbreakable. This involves loading the version of the Master Sword from the game's prologue into your main save file. In version 1.2.1, Nintendo patched this glitch out, making the unbreakable Master Sword, known as MsgNotFound, inaccessible. However, the community has found another complicated method to obtain it. A YouTube video by El Duende 05 explains the steps, but it's an hour long, indicating the process is very complex. The community's dedication in discovering this intricate glitch is impressive.
