- Press ZL to aim your arrow. You can aim it anywhere but try aiming it down to be safe.
- Next, press up and fuse any gem or item that you want to duplicate. This glitch should work for most items and gems but for me, it never worked with the King’s Scale for some reason.
- Now, Open your Inventory and drop the bow you have currently equipped.
- Next, Equip another bow.
- Now, Press the “+” button Twice in Rapid succession and quickly drop your newly equipped Bow. The goal is to leave and enter your inventory quickly you can even press “B” and “+” for it.

- Finally, collect both your Bows from the ground. This time when you open your inventory you should have an extra of that same item.
