The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom players have a brand-new way that they can claim some free in-game items. Although The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom rewards progression in a variety of ways, claiming these items is a quick way to get ahead in-game.
Some players of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom are farming rupees early to buy armor and weapons earlier than they should be able to, and these free unlocks are just another example of a method gamers can use to gain an advantage.
As reported by Nintendo Life, the 1.2.0 update for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has introduced a new way for players to obtain the Hylian Shroom and the Soldier's Broadsword. Players who head to the Switch Home Menu and select the "News" icon should then head to the Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom news story, "Fun uses for Fungi." By then selecting "Play Now" in the news article and launching their game, players will find that they've received the two items free of charge. It's extremely low effort to do, so it's definitely worth the time taken for anyone playing the game at the moment.
It should be said that players grabbing these items must be playing on the latest update for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, or else it won't work. The update fixes issues with progression in several main quests, so ultimately there's no reason for players not to download it anyway.
The success of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom comes as no real surprise. Breath of the Wild was a mega-hit for Nintendo, and its sequel takes everything great about the original game and expands on it. There's no doubt that fans are going to be enjoying Tears of the Kingdom for a long time to come, but that hasn't stopped some players from already looking toward the future. Some are wondering what to expect from Tears of the Kingdom DLC, despite nothing officially being announced by Nintendo yet. Given the success of the game, it would be surprising if nothing was in the works.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is available on Nintendo Switch.
