As the great modern-day philosopher Steve Harwell said, the glitches in Breath of the Wild “start comin‘ and they don’t stop comin‘.” Or something like that anyway. Glitch hunter and Twitter user @iLegendofLinkk has discovered a way to prevent wooden and flammable weapons from being burned away. It’s a pretty simple glitch to pull off.…
Kids can get away with anything. Why? Because they’re cute. Especially when they’re an adorable fish baby. So it’s okay that little Tumbo says Link’s face is weird, even though we well-informed adults know that Link does not have a weird face, but an incredibly handsome, well-sculpted one. We forgive you, Tumbo, you adorable little…
