The update fixes some issues with story progression.
A freshly released update raises The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom to version 1.2.0. Once you’re connected to the internet, download the patch.
In the patch notes, Nintendo writes which errors are fixed with the update. With the patch, Nintendo is primarily addressing some bugs that have prevented progress on certain quests.
Zelda TotK: The Bauto ability should now be accessible to everyone
What are the quests? Some players faced the problem that at a certain point in the quests they “The underground temple” and “Mystery of the Wreath Ruins‘ couldn’t go on.
The Quest “The underground temple‘ is especially important because it unlocks Link’s Bauto ability. This allows Link to save construction plans and does not have to adjust the individual parts every time you want to build a certain object.
The Quest “Mystery of the Wreath Ruins‘ concerns an important quest at the end of the game. Without spoiling too much: the quest gives us a piece of equipment that we need to make it to the end of the game.
There are also some side quests that you can now continue. These include:
- Research Institute in Hateno
- Angelstedt’s rebirth
- Turn white into black
- Attack of the pirates
- The unfinished shelter
- Find the pirate hideout
What other bugs have been fixed? Nintendo has also set the number of fairies to normal. Fairies didn’t appear in some places when there should be. Now you should be able to collect the fairies regularly and get a few extra lives.
