Players discover a strange Autobuild Sharing exploit in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, allowing them to summon in-game items with no limitations. The Autobuild Sharing exploit joins a long list of discovered glitches that have led to some incredible moments in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

Nintendo released Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom on May 12, 2023, as the direct sequel to 2017's highly successful Switch launch title, Zelda: Breath of the Wild. At the beginning of the game, Link is separated from Zelda after Ganondorf's revival underneath Hyrule Castle, and his arm becomes gravely injured. Fortunately, Link's arm was replaced by Rauru, granting him the ability to wield ancient Zonai powers like Ultrahand and Recall. Just over two years after the game's launch on Nintendo Switch, Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom received a Nintendo Switch 2 Edition release alongside Zelda: Breath of the Wild, allowing players to experience the critically acclaimed games at greater visual fidelity and 60 frames-per-second. The Nintendo Switch 2 games also support the new Zelda Notes app, which includes a useful Autobuild Sharing feature for Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

As reported by Dexerto, Reddit and Twitter users have discovered a bizarre Autobuild Sharing exploit in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom that allows them to summon essentially any in-game item, object, or character. Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom players like Formal-Code2341 and CanYouPetTheDog have been able to summon herds of Epona and dogs by simply utilizing QR codes for Autobuild Sharing. Formal-Code2341 also summoned multiple copies of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom antagonist Ganondorf, highlighting the absurdness of the exploit in its current state.

Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Players Discover Autobuild Sharing Exploit That Can Summon Any Item, Object or Character

Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom player Aster______ explained that the Autobuild Sharing exploit is possible now due to the use of an Autobuild editing website, which lets players access their save files and chance which actors, or in-game assets, can be used for Autobuild. When injected into a modded Switch, the player can perform a local save transfer to an unmodded Switch and then transfer to the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom to gain access to the modded Autobuild.

Players are surprised that Nintendo hasn't built any Autobuild Sharing verification to check for modded and illegal cheats in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. However, some players are cautious, as Nintendo could possibly crack down on the exploit if it runs rampant. Since the exploit utilizes QR codes, it can be easily shared around with friends playing the game on Nintendo Switch 2 with a Nintendo Switch Online membership.
