Apr 15, 2017 03:45 AM EDT

The latest patches for the blockbuster hit "Zelda: Breath of the Wild" has been released, and according to Nintendo, "adjustments have been made to make for a more pleasant gaming experience."

After releasing vague notes about what the 1.1.1 patch for the "Zelda: Breath of the Wild" will be doing, we can now see that Nintendo's patch 1.1.1 for Nintendo Switch's flagship game has a much-improved frame rate. It is said to significantly improve performance when playing in both handheld and docked mode.

The "Zelda: Breath of the Wild" had an issue with its frame rate dropping especially when the game is played in docked mode. However, with its newest patch, Zelda fans observed that the game was much smoother especially in the highly populated area where the frame rate is likely to drop.

Both the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Wii U had this patch available, though the Nintendo Switch version had more attention than the other. Both are said to have the same amount of frame rate improvement.

One of the major glitches of the "Zelda: Breath of the Wild" was also fixed with this week's released patch. According to Polygon, the 1.1.2 patch fixed the infinite arrow farming glitch in the game.

Nintendo removed the said most useful glitch from the "Zelda: Breath of the Wild" which allows you to pick up a total of 999 Bokoblin Archer arrows that were fired without taking damages. Users who are already on version 1.1.2 will only be able to pick up not more than 10 arrows. You could only add up more arrows by resting a bit to allow the counter to reset.

Since its launch, the "Zelda: Breath of the Wild" achieved a record sale of 1.5 million Switch copies in its first week as reported by IGN. This makes the "Zelda: Breath of the Wild" the best-selling standalone launch title in Nintendo's history in America, defeating Super Mario 64.
