The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Version 1.1.1 patch notes

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom The Closed Door main quest — The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom's The Closed Door main quest was bugged and keeping some players from advancing. It should now be fixed in Version 1.1.1.

Nintendo released The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Version 1.1.1 and its accompanying patch notes via the Nintendo Support website late on May 18, 2023. The headliner of these patch notes is a fix to The Closed Door quest. Where many players were reporting having their progress blocked because a certain part of the quest wouldn’t trigger, this fix should allow them to advance as intended now. There’s a few other fixes involved in this patch, but Nintendo doesn’t go into exact details on what’s been changed. Nonetheless, the full Version 1.1.1 patch notes are below:

    Hasn’t that been a thing since BOTW? If so, why would they patch it now.
    
    Also… I’m dying to play this game but I’ve just hit NG7 on Rogue Legacy 2, trying my hardest to power through or I’ll probably never go back to RL2 (im having a blast but I have no delft control when it comes to going back to games I’ve “sorta” finished)

    I tried that a bit this morning, and man, it's hard to pull off. That's a miniscule window to close and reopen the menu.

      I hit it every time. I find it easier at an area with lower fps like the beginning lookout tower
