A player has accidentally discovered an underwater glitch that lets you light fires and more underwater.

Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?

the game is called breath of the wild, an open world game promoted to have limtless freedom of movement climbing , running with ehhhh..... climbing running ...and also ehh ... climbing running ...still Link cant dive/swim underwated or go fishing (one of the most known trademarks of Zeda series ) while all in all the game is based only on this --->survival in a wild world and huge potential for even more content/gameplay just left annoyingly unexploited because you know Switch/Wii U could nt handle underwater animation /effects /world/assets etcetc ....Nintendo ... overpriced glass and shiny things but inside there is just charcoal and trash

[_-EDMIX-_]

@nar-he can't roll in this game.

[EddieNX]

I thought about the lack of fishing and diving but no... Game is still absolutely f#£%ing incredible. You could dive in Ocarina of time, its not a technical limitation lmao.

This gameplay is king in this game, its the sort that makes similar games look simple by comparison.

Naruga if you don't like Nintendo why comment? I do find this new found keyboard worriers very funny Facebook is full of them and now N4G if it's not for you stay of the article that's what i do for games/hardware I'm not interested in.

10/10?

[Lon3wolf]

11/10 just for underwater fires tbh.

That attention to detail tho! /s

Sorry, couldn't resist, there's one video floating around that tries to compare Horizon with Zelda, which is silly in and of itself but one of their complaints was that fire can burn on water in Horizon and saying that Horizon doesn't have any attention to detail!

So odd that people can apparently only enjoy 1 game and 1 console *shakes head*

[Uglyday]

Considering the metals and other components required to make the robotic dinosaurs that arrows are made from and the other crafting component to make fire arrows being freshly harvested "blaze" the possibility of water putting out Horizon's fires is low.

Difference is this is a glitch and what you saw in Horizon is not a glitch . There are so many other things in those TWO graphic comparison videos actually, you should watch both, that are embarrassing to see in Horizon which is on a platform far stronger.

[Aenea]

I've seen them both. Sad thing is they are made with a very strong Zelda bias, am sure someone can make a video or two doing it the other way around.

Both are great games, but both are different as well, the focus of each is different so attention to details shift into another direction which totally makes sense. It's more embarrassing that Zelda fans feel the need to do such things.

Maybe they're getting ready for some underwater welding.

Nintendo games don't have glitches though. /s

[Stronk]

Considering that it took two weeks for someone to discover ONE glitch in what may be the biggest OPEN-WORLD game ever to hit a console... you're right. Congratulations on actually failing to be sarcastic, didn't even know that was possible. That's what happens when you chase low-blows and seek out everything negative i guess...

[yeahokwhatever]

^triggered

[Stronk]

@yeahokwhatever You should know how Nintendrones work by now. :D

[SR388]

Very bloody few, I see some here are chatting about HZD, that is chock full of glitches lol

[LucasRuinedChildhood]

Truth be told, I'm just making a joke. A lot of people pan and dismiss games if they have a handful of glitches and then point to Nintendo and note how their games don't have many glitches. However, a lot of that is to do with a lack of complexity on the technical side in most Nintendo games. They're quite simple (not talking about gameplay depth).

Breath Of The Wild is way more complex (open-world game with a lot of systems) than the average Nintendo game and so it has more glitches and rough edges. It just puts a lot of the rhetoric of the more hyperbolic Nintendo fans (more so, Nintendo fanboys) in previous years into perspective.

[yomfweeee]

FAKES NEWS, Nintendo doesn't have bugs.

[Altovoltage]

Glitch 10/10

[feraldrgn]

That looks very easy to do.
After you've done that & tricked the gravity, can you make a fire?

[Outlawzz]

Even the glitches in this game are amazing!! =p
