Update 160 Upd — Botw

— Hyrule Historian Tech

Five years after its initial release, Nintendo rolled out update Version 1.6.0 (often searched as "BOTW update 160 upd" or "Ver. 1.6.0" ). While the gaming world had largely moved on to Tears of the Kingdom , this patch surprised the community. It wasn’t just another bug fix—it was a quiet but significant update that bridged the gap between BotW and its sequel.

If you’re a or plan to transfer data to Tears of the Kingdom (the sequel recognizes certain BotW save flags like the Master Cycle Zero), update to 1.6.0.

If you’ve seen the cryptic search term floating around forums or your Switch just downloaded a 62 MB patch, you’re likely wondering: What actually changed? Is my Master Mode save safe? Did they patch the Trial of the Sword skew glitch?
