The newly-discovered glitch in Tears of the Kingdom is turning players into meat tycoons, as it allows them to sell frozen meat for thousands of rupees in the game. This glitch currently works across all versions of the game, so it would be a good time to employ it and make some dough before Nintendo patches things up.

As reported by Kotaku, the latest glitch in Tears of the Kingdom revolves around the idea of tricking the game into giving you loads of valuable resources, which you can exchange for plenty of rupees in the game, with players reporting revenues that are shy of 40 thousand rupees earned in under 10 minutes. Tears of the Kingdom is a massive game, and given that it dropped just recently, the small glitches that have evaded Nintendo’s testing team continue to pop up, and Nintendo keeps patching them up.

The frozen meat glitch in Tears of the Kingdom basically consists of attaching gourmet meat to two sticks and then combining the two using the ultrahand feature to make a meat club. Once you’ve made 21 meat clubs, you need to equip one as your primary weapon, travel somewhere cold, sleep there, and the meat club should freeze and drop off.

Use the auto-build feature to repeat the process, but instead of actually building it, just keep the meat hovering inside the purple circle. After a few seconds, all the meat will freeze and drop off to the ground.

Simply pick up the meat, stack it, and sell it—a full stack of frozen meat sells for nearly 40 thousand rupees in Tears of the Kingdom, so the faster you perform this trick, the more money you’ll be able to collect. However, we would advise players to hurry up with building up and liquidating their frozen meat empire.

While the glitch works with all versions of the game, including 1.0, the current version, and any version in between, it won’t be long before Nintendo catches wind of this and patches the glitch up.

Nintendo is notorious for a couple of things: its legal onslaught of anyone even thinking about its IPs, its urgency when it comes to patching up first-party titles, and its complete lack of urgency when it comes to reviewing and approving the patches of third-party titles for its handheld console, which is why most games that release broken on Switch, remain that way for weeks.

Fortunately, that isn’t the case with Nintendo’s first-party titles, especially massive releases such as Tears of the Kingdom, which sold more than 10 million copies in just three days after its release.

In fact, Tears of the Kingdom has become Nintendo’s fastest-selling game in the company’s history, with good chances of becoming the best-selling game of 2023 and quite possibly the upcoming game of the year, though it will face strong competition from Hogwarts Legacy and perhaps several other upcoming gaming titles.

As for the meat glitch, it will soon be patched out of existence, so if you’re struggling financially in Tears of the Kingdom, hurry up, the riches await.
