Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Update 1.2.0 Patch Notes
General updates
By starting the game from some articles posted on a specific Switch News Channel (accessible via the HOME menu), players can receive a number of in-game items. Depending on the state of the game progress or the location where the data is reopened, there may be cases where items cannot be received.
Additional fixes
Fixed an issue where players could not advance beyond a certain point in the main quests “Mystery of the Depths” and “Secret of the Ring Ruins” and the side adventures “Hatenu Village Research Laboratory” and “Laurelin Village Restoration Project”, shrine quest “Dye to find” and the side quests “The Village Attacked by Pirates”, “The Unfinished Settlement”, and “Find the Pirate’s Hideout”. Downloading the update will allow players to continue after this point. Fixed an issue preventing fairies from spawning under certain conditions when they were originally supposed to. Fixed an issue preventing the meals served by Kiana from Lurelin Village from changing under certain circumstances. Several issues have been fixed to improve the gaming experience.
This is the fourth patch for Zelda: Kingdom’s Tears. So far what we’ve seen has mostly been small updates to fix small issues and make general improvements. but, Nintendo has also gone out of its way to remove some of the duplication issues.
We’ll let you know if more updates are available for the game in the future.
