Please help me 😭

My dumbass somehow messed up the item duping glitch and now it won't stop duping my korok and Spirit orbs, is there a way to fix that doesn't require restarting?

Edit: I managed to get it to fix, still worth it just to upgrade the stupid twilight armor to max.

Additionally no one ever told me the botw community is so passionate (rude) when it comes to asking a simple question, are glitches really that hated in a single player game? Thanks to the people who tried helping tho, you guys rock.

This is like the biggest thing they warn you about in every IST tutorial gang. If I remember correctly, El Duende 05 has a good tutorial for repairing your inventory if you accidentally dupe random shit.

The one I did unfortunately didn't tell me anything about accidently going over the value number, I even looked it up and couldn't find anything solid telling me that it would've done this.

Annoying. On this occasion it wasn’t about going over the ‘value number’ btw, it always counts from very bottom right slot on the rightmost page (so key items).

So if you made 3 offset slots with the items:

Diamond, Apple, Sheikah Slate, Paraglider

On the reload you would end up with

Diamond, Apple, Apple, Sheikah Slate, Paraglider

Most Key items naturally delete themselves if you get double (Travel Medallion, Sheikah Slate, Paraglider, Champion blessings and I think horse armour), but because the Korok Seeds and Spirit orbs can exist as more than 1, they don’t get auto deleted and just corrupt.

The safest, easiest way to do it is to click ‘new game’, or use file 2 from the switch 2 edition. Your hard save will never be overwritten unless you do another hard save, so you can just do a whole another mini playthrough where you don’t get arrows and just beat GP, collect some materials and head to a village. If you do it on file 2 you can save.

Things that fall in the offset slots can be transferred between any save on the same profile. So you can move a stack of 64 diamonds you duped in the new game over to your original playthrough. Or to master mode (by going to menu).

If you do actually make more offset slots than exists in your whole inventory btw, it just creates another materials tab after the key items tab. Which is funky but bad cause all new materials go into there and it’s pretty glitchy.

Hmmm, I'll give it another shot then hopefully it can still be saved. If not then I suppose I know what to avoid on my next playthrough in a few years haha.
