General Updates
- By starting the game from within certain articles released on a specific Switch News channel (accessed via the HOME Menu) players can receive a number of in-game items.
- Depending on the state of gameplay progression or the location in which the data is reopened, there may be cases in which the items cannot be received.
Additional Fixes
- Fixed an issue where players could not progress beyond a certain point in the main quests “A Mystery in the Depths” and “Secret of the Ring Ruins”, the side adventures “Hateno Village Research Lab” and “Lurelin Village Restoration Project”, the shrine quest “Dyeing to Find It”, and the side quests “Village Attacked by Pirates”, “The Incomplete Stable”, and “Seeking the Pirate Hideout”. Downloading the update will allow players to proceed past that point.

- Several issues have been addressed to improve the gameplay experience.
How did you play without updating? My wife and I are driving through northern Canada with no service and her Switch didn’t allow her to start the game because the update was mandatory. I’m not even sure how the device knew there was an update needed.
The game is open – so I can choose to start the software without updating. I believe if I close the game, it will update automatically.
After 1.1.2 came out and mine auto update, I turned off automatic updates, removed my home’s SSID settings from the network settings, and turned it on airplane mode just to be sure.
All my gaming is local, anyway.
