One thing I never get from my childhood is how that bird appears in the dark world transporting link to ganon in the end.

@ThyGreenKnight Жыл бұрын

I think that the barrier between the dark and light worlds continued to deteriorate and thus the bird was able to enter the dark world. Remember, you can access the dark world through the main gate to the castle after the first Agahnim battle. But that's just a theory... If not, then the eagles probably could have flown the Hobbits to Mount Doom or something.

@mr.mystere4999 Жыл бұрын

The GBA version has you able to use a glitch to force your way into the Four Sword Dungeon without ever playing Four Swords. I'm going strictly by memory, but it involves you getting into the Thieves' Town dungeon. I don't remember which ledge it is in the 4 big rooms at the start but you need to bomb jump off of it to be able to go through the walls. If you can meander your way through the glitchy mess of rooms, you'll find yourself in the Palace of the Four Sword slightly past the mook who blocks you from entering if you never played Four Swords. The dungeon isn't easy, as you'll face tougher versions of several dungeon bosses before facing off against a new final boss.

@knightsurda Жыл бұрын

This was the hardest game to beat in my childhood, well compared to Tom and Jerry on the NES anyway. The super bomb never appeared in my original playthrough on my cartridge. Years later, I load up the game on a whim. See the bomb and promptly get that rush of adrenaline. Nothing compares to the feeling you get when you overcome something a younger version of yourself struggled with. Ever since then every LoZ game that has a custom name available is always 'GOD...', in memory of that original save files name, to remind myself that it may take time but any problem can be overcome :)

I’m sure someone has already pointed this out, but if not… At Ganon’s Tower, if you mirror to the entrance from a conveyor belt the momentum is conserved and you can then use a Somaria block to clip into the left side of the wall to move past the loading zone for outside and transition down one screen. Ironically, the first screen of the tower is right above the last screen of the tower right before the Aganhim fight.

The first glitch I ever learned was a version of dark mountain decent using the broken bridge in the dark world. In my opinion it’s easier if you don’t know how to buffer into the walls. It’s a simpler version of portal shifting. But your way is definitely faster. Also, I’m surprised you didn’t mention the torch glitch for ganon. It makes you always be able to see him and it’s fairly easy with the lamp. Not saying your info or video is bad by any means. It was the first I have seen by you, and I very much enjoyed it. Very informative and well put together. Especially when talking about EG and key duplication. Great job.

A very minor glitch i use in Ganon, to make it even easier, is torch glitch. The torches go out after a few frames from each other, but if you light the first touch again, it skips the check on the second. In other words, only the left touch goes out. This glitch is nigh mandatory in master sword no silver arrows runs, as the window to hit him would be insanely small with the best rng. Compared to YBA or EG, it's minor, but still useful, especially with randomizers
