heheh, awesome! We'll just 90 more years to figure out everything in this game. I still remember discovering octo-balloons for the first time and all the silly things you could do with them.
I played early on Wii U and thought I discovered the octo-balloon boat flying thing but I was just searching the wrong places and it had been found a day or two before. "Oh my sweet summer Kuranghi", etc.

The enemies called Octoroks drop "octo-balloons" when you kill them and you can put 1-5 of them in your hands and then dump them on almost any movable object/item in the game and it will attach, inflate and start making the object ascend into the air. You can use this for many things in the game like remove a dropped enemy weapon from the the fight if your inventory is full so the enemy can't pick it up again.
You can suspend items with balloons and then use a korok leaf to move them where you want, like on an explosive barrel and then waft it over to some sleeping blins and blow the shit out of them without waking them. I used to waft suspended meat slightly off cliffs and then lure bokoblins to see it and they try to grab it and eat it and fall off the edge to their death.

It'd be really cool if this was left in the game intentionally. Like a meditation vs strength kind of thing.

There are millions of whiny 5-year olds on Earth, and I AM THEIR KING.
I love this game. The depth of the open world distracted me from so many quests, but it always managed to entertain me. Some day I will finish it.

Genuinely one of the best games ever made.

Nice, using this right now lol
Doing a playthrough completing all shrines, but not leveling up link. This is perfect

Are you guys praising the game for a glitch?
Artemis click "triggered" if this triggered you.

It was #1 for me for a long time but I’ve settled at #2 now, behind Super Metroid. I think I’m at 400 hours or so, found all shrines but not all korok seeds. Currently going through it in master mode, it’s quite a challenge!

Will this break the game? I just started for the first time yesterday.

No, but the sword will eventually break.

Yeah, I can’t believe after 4 years this game is still so buggy and unfinished.

Master sword doesn’t break.

I thought it could but it just took a lot longer?

It can go “ineffective” and it takes a couple minutes to recharge after that, then you can use it again.
If you’re playing with it in the final area it lasts forever.

Nintendo patching this out in 3, 2, 1... They HATE exploits.

They'll make the guy who discovered it pay $50/month for 3500 years.

If you don't see the humor in a thread about a glitch reading of "amazing", "goat", "breathtaking", then idk what to tell ya.

Hmm Super Metroid is also my #1 game of all time. I'm going to try this trick out later.

Experimentation. Curiosity.

sometime it's chance, sometimes they research how the game code works and try various solutions that make sense.
like that guy that figured how to play as master hand in melee in very little time after the challenge was made just by checking the code

for what i read you don't get immediately some of the benefits from getting the master sword, but they can be recovered afterwards after yoou have the necessary conditions to get the master sword legit..with this method you just get the item

Nah, it's just another weapon that you have to recharge after a couple of hits, probably one of the most underwhelming "secret weapon" ever made in a game.

depends on the game, but in general they just deduce how it works (like how it renders objects for example) and look for ways to exploit it .
in the case of the master hands glitch for example, the guy noted that master hand was among the characters with an ID and actually had the first of the list.
from there he assumed that if he found a way to access a game without selecting a player, the game would default to the first character of the id list, master hand.
from there he just tried a couple methods that could allow him to bypass the "barrier" that the game puts, forcing you to choose at least a character before moving to the stage select screen.
and as he thought, once you manage to access a game without selecting a player, the game defaults your character to master hand.

Erm no. It has not been patched since 2019 which was for labo support. Nintendo loves the exploits in this game.
