Because "botw update 160 upd" is such a specific search, many forums spread myths. Let’s clear them up:

| Myth | Reality | |----------|--------------| | Adds new weather patterns | ❌ No change to dynamic weather | | Nerfs Durability Transfer | ❌ Durability transfer (via menu overloading) still works in 1.6.0 | | Removes Trial of the Sword Skew Glitch | ❌ Skew clipping is still possible – Nintendo only patched the "infinite hearts" variant | | Improves frame rate in Korok Forest | ❌ Korok Forest on Switch still drops to ~20 FPS. This is a hardware limit. | botw update 160 upd

Nintendo deliberately left most non-game-breaking glitches untouched. The 1.6.0 focus was stability and future-proofing, not killing speedrunning.
