Something very weird just happened. I was playing Breath of the Wild, and... this happened.

I followed steps 1-7 of this video. I didn’t have the map on my other file, so I skipped steps 8-13 and loaded the save I made. Instead of putting me above the arena like it was supposed to, it instead put me inside the Shrine of Resurrection chamber that takes you to the final trial, and the door was closed and not opening up. I ended up interacting with the One-Hit Obliterator. For some reason, it put me below the room and let me fall. After it finished the intro cutscene for the Obliterator, immediately took it back. I tried interacting with it and teleporting onto solid ground before it could take it, but to no avail. I visited the overworld edition of the Shrine of Resurrection and found the Obliterator there-- long before it should have appeared. I took it and tried teleporting to a few locations outside the Plateau (Travel Medallion, Hateno shrine, Vah Ruta interior, Vah Medoh interior), but it always just took the Obliterator. Sometime during this process, some sort of visual glitch occurred. My Master Sword was flipping upside down when I was facing certain directions and when it was on my back, and the blue parts of its sheath were invisible.* I got Vah Ruta’s map and tried teleporting there again, but to no avail. At this point, I tried continuing with the quest normally, and died almost immediately. I got the obliterator again and noticed that it was stuck in its 1-damage state. I tried teleporting to my Travel Medallion again, and this time it actually worked. I teleported to Hateno Village, removed the Infinite Jump Glitch, and hung up the Obliterator. I triggered an autosave and reloaded it to see if the Obliterator would regain its infinite damage, but it didn’t. At this point, I reloaded the last manual save I’d made (the one made when setting up the glitch), teleported to the Shrine of Resurrection to see if the Obliterator was still there (it wasn’t), saved, and reloaded the save. I then shut down the game and started it back up. It was only then that the glitch mentioned earlier (apparently) deactivated. I have yet to see whether there will be any lasting effects.

*This happened with the other two weapons I’d equipped-- the Ancient Spear and the One-Hit Obliterator itself-- so I see no reason why this wouldn’t work on other weapons as well. I can’t remember how it affected bows and shields.

Additional notes (could be important?):

• I’d entered all Divine Beasts except Rudania, but hadn’t progressed in any of them, including obtaining the map.
• I was trying to get the Master Cycle on my Master Mode file.
• I placed my Master Mode Travel Medallion three times when attempting to perform the glitch-- once in a different flower field on the same hill; twice in the right spot
• I teleported out of the Final Trial either before or soon after the main room of the trial came into view (I can’t remember which one).
• My Normal Mode Travel Medallion was in Hyrule Castle.
• My Master Mode Travel Medallion might have been slightly off-- could be why I loaded in the wrong spot?

   

Anything in italics is something that I think might actually matter-- anything else is just in case.

This was the content of a doc I made to help me remember exactly what happened in case I want to re-create it. (If anyone else wants to try, just be sure to tell me of any findings.) I'll attempt my original intention-- getting the Master Cycle early-- again, though I'll see if I can interact with the Obliterator again as I do so.
