What's The Strongest Attack in Ocarina of Time?

[@thomaswawrzyniak118]

1:18 the rumor is, one of the devs tried to kill a spider in their office with a hammer, and kept failing miserably. They programed the immunity into the game simply as a joke

[@trunkit8749]

The dev was also jumping around, which is why the jump attack doesn’t hurt it.

[@Tezomondo]

Great video! With the hammer jump attacks, I'm sure I watched another video where it explains that one of the developers tried to kill a spider in the office by jumping around with a hammer (I think), missing and completely failing to kill it, so one of the other team coded this in as they thought it was funny. I don't think any type of spider in the game can be killed by a hammer jump attack for this reason!

[@dannyb21892]

I'd never heard this before but a couple people have mentioned it to me now since this video. I really hope it's true, it's much funnier than a random damage table typo.

[@insentia8424]

Considering we are working with garbage data, and they had to conserve memory on consoles, it's probably a number and flags bit manipulated into one single number. So it reads the garbage in the damage bits as damage, and every other bit set as a true for a damage type. *probably*, I don't know how it's actually coded, mind you, but this is very easy and for processors very quick way to compress and decompress data and would cause exactly what's happening here if fed a randomish number.

[@EltaleLibrarian]

If you look at the structure of the damage values in code, the hammer jump slash is not only at the bottom, suggesting it was added last, possibly after the skulltula was finished, but it is in a sea of removed values, so it may have been missed.

[@SeedyZ]

I never knew empty jumpslash was a thing! I thought it was just QPA that gave that glitched damage value.

[@dannyb21892]

It's a super common misconception since everyone just calls it QPA, but QPA is just an ingredient in one of the ways of getting empty jumpslash. You do QPA, then break your stick so that it immediately disappears before the grounded part of the jumpslash (whereas without QPA, it wouldn't immediately disappear). But there are other ways of getting empty jumpslash also, like jumpslash with a burning deku stick RIGHT before it burns out, so that it's gone by the time you land.

[@MetroAndroid]

@@dannyb21892 It's crazy that all it would've taken to discover it in the past 25 years was someone jump-attacking with a burning deku stick right as it disappears, then using crouch-stab on anything it interacts with in a unique way.

Since this topic of damage included weaknesses and resistances, it's applicable to state here that the Flare Dancer's weakness/resistance table is weird. Even just looking at swords, it's weak to Master Sword jump slashes and resistant to Biggoron's Sword jump slashes. A single Master Sword jump slash is enough to advance a Flare Dancer to its next phase (or defeat it if it's on green), but a Biggoron's Sword jump slash does the same amount of damage to it as a standard slash.

[@dannyb21892]

Yea it's a weird example, it actually shares it's damage table with Ganon, which is why it appears to be resistant to everything but master sword

[@Adventureruler]

Greatly edited and informative 👍

[@homerman76]

Regarding the Iron Knuckle being especially susceptible to the glitch damage; there is a rumor that the ability to pick up enemy weapons Toon Link receives in Windwaker was something that Link was supposed to be able to do against the Iron Knuckle with their axe. Since the Iron Knuckle would have been the target for this programming, the Iron Knuckle is likely susceptible due to actually being programmed to take damage from the unused items that are mixed in with everything. That would be me theory on why anyways 🤔

[@Sonnance]

Clearly the most powerful attack was that one Iron Knuckle slash that killed my friend twice in a single hit. Dunno how, but it killed him, he revived with a fairy, and his hearts kept draining after. Never saw that happen before or since, so I assume that slash was personal.

The strongest single damage attacks are Iron Knuckle's and Ganon's Axes/Swords, dealing 4 hearts. The strongest direct damage is Ganondorf's giant energy blast, dealing 5 hearts, one for each ball. The highest overall is Koume's fire, dealing 5 1/4 hearts if you stay in the AOE field the whole time. Honorable mentions to Phantom Ganon's spear dealing a surprising 3 hearts that early in the game and Redeads/Gibdo dealing technically infinite damage if you don't mash out.

You can use this to use your sword as a bomb. I'm not sure if I'm remembering it correctly, but I think it's the Hammer jump slash that has the bomb/explosion property, which you can then use with a regular stab - making you able to hit a few things that you can't hit with a jump-slash.

I always reasoned that the hammer jump attacks didn't work because of the skulltula's dexterity. Long ass swings to try and get insects often have them moving around you.

Could you check, if attack properties are a simple bitmask in the damage type array? Because you show 13 items + 2 unused would turn into 15 bits of 16. So the value of -2 underflow in the damage type array could be 0x7FFF or rather decimal 32767. Well, it might be using 0xFFFF as well, indicating another unused damage type. Unless the first two bits of that mask is the raw damage itself. 2 bits damage + 14 damage type = 16 bits

[@freestalkerdotfr6391]

I played a little bit the Stronghold hack and noticed some unpredictable damages. I know why now because the game engine isn't logical enough for me in term of coding. Where I can play Wind Waker, TP and Skyward Sword in a more predictable way. The logic is more present. For example if I cut an artery IRL, I'll now that the person in front of me will die. If nothing is done to heal him of cours. In fact if I lose an heart I can say that's not my fault ?

[@dannyb21892]

The most common way is to first do a glitch called Quick Put away (QPA) where you try to put away your deku stick, but interrupt it right beforehand with damage, or a ledge grab or something. This puts you in a state where the next time the stick would be put away, it will disappear instantly instead of going through the normal animation. Once you have this prepared, you jumpslash a wall so the stick breaks midair. It disappears instantly from your hands before hitting the ground due to QPA, and then you get the empty jumpslash for the ground hitbox when you land. A less common, but easier one is to light a deku stick on fire, and jumpslash JUST before it completely burns out, so that it's gone before you hit the ground.
