Breath of the Wild Glitch Lets Players Break Metal Treasure Chests

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is the debut title for the Nintendo Switch and still remains in the console's top five bestselling games of all time. Despite the game being out for over five years now, players are still discovering various details and secrets hidden in the vast open world of Breath of the Wild.

Nintendo tries to combine realism with the fantasy world of The Legend of Zelda to create an authentic, yet still fantastical experience.

However, a video on Gaming Reinvented's YouTube channel shows off a glitch in which players are able to use the Goron cannons around the area of Death Mountain to break these metal treasure chests. However, instead of just breaking and revealing the actual contents of the chest, this slight glitch actually has a few weird effects.

Clearly, the developers did not expect players to move the metal treasure chests into position and then blast them with the Goron cannons. In the video, we see that this glitch causes the game to load in random items, including clothing items, that wouldn't otherwise be in this type of treasure chest, and sometimes it does it so that the items are floating in the air, unable to be retrieved.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is a revolutionary game that
