another note: the dirt trail won't spawn them either, even without the hood. that's just that hey won't spawn more after you've landed, if you're a few seconds late you'll have to fight at least the first round. some say it's a throwback to the 2nd NES game where bad guys would only spawn if you walked off of dirt roads in the overworld.

​​​ Zelda 2 needs a remake sooooooooo bad, ffs Nintendo. They keep pulling from it but its so horribly inaccessible these days, even for folks like me who regularly visit games even from the 80s. Romhacks help though.

[@stungunnotapplicable1953]

The Goron Tunic provides a protective effect against *all* damage floors in the game, raising the interval between damage 'ticks' by about 5~7 times. This applies to every form of damage floor: The shallow lava in Dodongo's Cavern, spikes in the Water Temple and Shadow Temple, the poison water in the Royal Family's Tomb and Bongo Bongo's boss arena, etc. If you know this, it can be potentially useful in more areas than expected. It can be helpful in speedruns or randomizers for sure, though the use is quite situational.

Well Dampé does flee when you're wearing a mask he is afraid of but that's not ocarina of time, that is Majora's mask and it only applies to Ikana theme masks like the Gibdo mask, Garro mask, and Captain's hat. Which makes sense considering he's afraid of those 3 monsters

[@brandoncampbell7274]

The Fire Temple segment at 11:30 is actually false because in order to get to that part you have to go through the boulder maze. You can't skip the boulder maze. In fact the area that the elevator goes to is there by Nintendo's design and it just leads to two gold skulltulas it doesn't go anywhere else or bypass anything. If anything, it actually sets Link back because the big hole in the center goes down to the big room with the bridges over lava in the beginning of the dungeon. It's not a shortcut in any way. Also there's nowhere on the floor in the boulder maze room where you can use the scarecrow song either, until you come back to the boulder maze room through the door up by said elevator. That's the absolute ONLY spot in that room where the scarecrow song works.

[@ZeroXionXZ]

and even throught you can summon from there, without the longshot that spot is the only one you can use it

[@Levacque]

Can confirm, that frigging scarecrow spot is the hardest to summon and can only be done in a tiny space. I'd love to see somebody go into the dev files and see where Link can stand and actually summon scarecrows, because they are pretty hard sometimes.

[@rtyuik7]

​@@Levacquetheres a tool that (i think) is called GZ, and it lets you do a lot of nifty things...speedrunner ZFG uses it to test out route ideas, because he can see Link's XYZ Coordinates and Facing Angle, or see the Collision Geometry to navigate an unloaded room, or even set up input macros to be played back like a TAS...theres probly some kind of option to toggle that would make "Ocarina Triggers" visible (like in front of Darunia for Saria's Song, or in front of Zora's Waterfall for Zelda's Lullaby), so maybe theyd also show where to stand for Scarecrow Songs...

[@drwily]

[@KainaX122]

Useful tip for when you get eaten by a Like-Like: They can only consume certain equipment -the tunics and shields you can purchase in shops. So, if you quickly change to your Kokiri Tunic and Mirror Shield while you’re being consumed, it won’t eat these because you’re only ever meant to get one of each

The hookshot still works on the Spirit Temple statue's nipples in the 3DS version as well. Surprising that they never got rid of it. 😂 You can also hookshot the chain of the platform that descends into that room to get back up there. Not sure if you already knew, but figured I'd say it just in case.

[@drwily]

wow didnt know about the chain

[@Lonewolf3515]

Not sure if you knew this, but you can one shot boss octorock in Jabu Jabu with a deku stick. As far as a glitch goes, you can enter the bottom of the well early before ever turning into Adult Link. All you need to have is a Navi prompt, and then you need a deku stick. To make this work, you need to do a mid-air strike over the well and land on the other side while holding the deku stick and repeatedly pressing up c. It'll make Link talk to Navi and drop to the bottom of the well through the water, allowing you to get inside. It's not easy to pull off though haha. Also, back in the day, I figured out a weird trick in the bombchu bowling alley to guarantee wins everytime (with good timing). I remember positioning Link in the far left corner of the aisle and on top of the stripes, pointing him straight forwards (just pressing up), and then letting go of the bombchu. It makes it so easy it practically guarantees wins. One last thing, not sure if you knew this, but if you were to wear the hover boots in the shadow temple, it makes you immnue to the invisible spikes on the ground.

You don't need the first 3 medallions to beat the game you only need the light spirit and shadow medallions

If you wear the bunny hood as a child in hyrule field at night, it stops the stalchildren from spawning. I've never heard of the skull mask stopping the stalchildren, but it was interesting to see you try because i usually ignore the masks in most of my play throughs.

The Bunny Hood prevents Stalchild spawns! It's pretty handy. Another neat trick to avoid Stalchildren spawns in Hyrule Field is to stay on the paths. As long as you're on a road, they wont spawn; but if you step off the road and make one spawn, not even the road will spare you. I've always considered this a slight reference to Zelda 2, where as long as you're walking on the roads, enemies don't spawn.

[@drwily]

both will be covered

Pretty sure staying on the path is true that it keeps them from appearing if you haven't fought them already on that night

It's interesting on the myths that end up false to try and figure out where the idea or memory came from. Like the one about Dampe fleeing, if you grew up with Majora's Mask and Ocarina of Time being played interchangably you may remember him running in MM and attribute it to OoT. No idea where the pictobox idea came from though.

[@storymaster21]

Here are some funny things I personally found recently: - The baby Dodongo larvae that spawn in Dodongos cavern can be instantly killed with the Megatonn hammer by simply hitting the ground. - If you have a mod allowing any item as any age, characters in the game and cutscenes will not load right if you are equipped wrong (Gerudo not recognizing adult link equipped with Deku shield and Kokiri sword, child link talking to King Zora with the adult tunic equipped, etc.) The game treats link based on his tunic,shield, and sword rather than actual age. - Also Redeads will literally never get off you if you do not press anything, even if you have infinite Fairys in bottles. - You can use ice arrows to freeze Bongo Bongos' hand during his fight in the Shadow Temple, and he will use his other hand to repeatedly smash the frozen hand till it is free. - Using the Song of Storms while also using the Lens of Truth prevents magic from being used til the rain stops. This also works in Majorras Mask.

[@randomdude581]

The skulltulas on walls will only attack you if you are consistently moving, so if you climb the wall, but only move one step at a time, you can fully climb past them without having to defeat them first. You can use this to get to the upper level of the deku tree before getting the slingshot.

The best way to farm money, is to catch a fish, and sell it to the man in the market/ village who rocks back and forth. He buys it for 200 rupees every time, and the fish respawns. [As a kid, there is a hole where you can catch one just outside the castle. I think it is to the left when facing the castle.

There's a grotto in Kakariko with a fish and the guy moves there as an adult, so you can farm hyperspeed at that point. Fill all your bottles and sell every fish.

I SEE YOUUUUU and yeah i bet she mixed the two up, i mean both n64 titles with similiar looks after all

[@rtyuik7]

the Skull Mask keeps Keese away from you (and i think Guays as well) but the Stalchildren are repelled by the Bunny Hood...you do take damage from the Gerudo Cauldron, even with the Goron Tunic, its just much-slower damage (like walking on the lava-floors in the Fire Temple-- the 'tick rate' is quartered or something, so it takes four times as long to 'hurt' Link)... ...as for the Fish before SariaSong cutscene, i have no idea...but considering that you can use the "Bottle Catch Animation" to skip the Forest Temple's Poe Sisters introduction (and make it to the Elevator before it lowers), i can only imagine what kind of shenanigans would happen if you did the same trick in different places... oh, and regarding the Thumbnail's question-- yes, "Giant Enemies" will occasionally spawn, but only after youve killed a certain number of their Smaller counterparts...it works for Stalchildren (though Night Time is kinda short, so you have to spawn AND kill them quickly), Guays (but not the LonLon Ranch ones; they drop a bunch of Rupees instead), and as seen in the picture, Leevers...the key point is that it has to be an Infinitely Spawning enemy

You can skip all the trials on ganon tower by pushing one of the statues on the shadow trial near the starting door and jumpslashing diagonally upon it, the statue will push you out of bounds back into the main room and walking carefully can help you go throught ganon tower without the barrier loaded You dont ever need the bow to finish the fire temple, its only use is to open the room containing the map or compass (I dont recall which one) and you can get it by running all the firewall room until the end and jmping into the jail containing the chest, in fact the fire temple can be done first with no tricks at all As a child you can get the piece of heart from the dude on the roof on kakariko village, you just need to climb the tower near it and upon climbing it, z target, walk to the norwest corner on it and jump left, you will land n the fence and can climb to the house easy The scare dampe is real but in MM, using any of the specter masks (gibdo, garo or captain mask) and talking to him will scare him and run all of his programmed path superfast Projectiles reflected with the shields can hurt any enemy

[@Levacque]

When we were kids, my siblings and I thought it was so weird that the guy on the roof says, "Hey, welcome back!" no matter whether you're a child or an adult. I don't think the developers expected people to side jump like that and only gave him one dialogue.

Friend of JJgoneinsane here (the Tektite Space Program Glitch) here with another Just For Fun glitch that he and I used to do growing up. As some viewers might already know, when you bomb a Gossip Stone, after a short time, it will begin to flash blue and red before eventually taking to the skies like a rocket. As an additional bonus to that easter egg, if you strike the Gossip Stone while it is flashing one of these colors, it will stay that color until you leave the area!

[@caligena]

As another easter egg, in Dodongo's Cavern there is a hidden compartment behind one of the lavafalls where you fight the Lizalfos for the first time. It's not all that helpful, but it does contain a recovery heart, if you're getting too low on health during the fight, and they can't follow you in there.

[@caligena]

The Gerudo pot trick with the Goron tunic reminded me, the games coding treats most floor hazards as Standable Lava, which means that, for instance, you could stand on top of the spike hazards in the Shadow Temple room with the three redead and silver rupees for a while with the Goron Tunic on. It doesn't stop damage completely, but it does delay the time between taking damage considerably, granting immunity at first.

[@devonm042690]

You only need the Shadow and Spirit Medallions to get the Light Arrow, and you only need the Light Arrow to activate the bridge to Ganon's Castle. I guess it was easier to set the Light Arrow cutscene to have only two item requirements rather than half a dozen, and you already get one of those half a dozen alongside the Master Sword, and need the other three to get one of the two required ones the intended way. Considering how impossible it seems to reach the Shadow Temple any other way, it would have been a safe assumption to make. Considering the fact that the Shadow Temple is entirely basement floors, and Sheik says the Shadow Temple is beneath the Graveyard, I think the high ledge and thus high entrance to the temple was a late change.

@@QuasarEE omfg i never did that. But it hurts so bad if you fail for whatever reason on the third day. One of the first times i did it, i was pushing the cycle hard, and accidentally mooned myself. But it didnt matter cause i beat the poe and finished the quest >:D just barely tho xD

After reading patch notes for the newest update of the randomizer (8.1 of this comment), i wanted to test out half the stuff that they mentioned crashed the game. And thankfully this video did most of them. Theres probably some oddities from randomizer logic that could be tested like melting the bombmble walls in Dodongo's Cavern with ice arrows, and even doing all of DC as an adult

[@sonicking2004]

I thought I had commented on this before, but I couldn't find my previous comment so I'm putting it out here now. As you mentioned in your previous video In Ocarina of Time if you're swallowed by the Like Like you will lose your equipped shield and/or tunic unless they're the green tunic and Mirror Shield. However, as you probably know, if you kill it after you'll get whatever you lost back. On the other hand, if you leave the dungeon without killing the Like Like you will find that your swallowed items are unrecoverable and you'll have to buy them back from the relevant shops.

i just remembered something, it's not exactly a myth, but it's pretty obscure: in Ganon's castle, there's a secret room on the far side from the entrance, that you can only find with the "Eye of truth". i can't remember if it's on the top floor on the lower floor... inside the room are bunch of "business scrubs". what you said about the MIrror Shield not bouncing THEIR shots back reminded me of that room.

[@Animebryan2]

The secret room is just underneath the entrance, under the bridge leading to the central tower with the barrier.

You can skip the waterfall to zoras domain as adult too. You need hoverboots, a good angle and a well timed roll. I works the same way as the child skip, but is a bit harder.

The way the Goron tunic worked in the cauldron is the same way it works against lava floors in the fire temple. It will protect you from damage for a few seconds.

1. Killing Guay (crows) will also spawn a big crown (i think you can achieve this in lon lon ranch) 2. Using the Megaton hammer will deku-scrubs, mad scrubs, bussiness scrubs pop out when they're hidden 3. Using fire arrow/din's fire to a gibdo will transform it into a re-dead

[@drwily]

1 and 2 have been covered, so i am screenshotting for 3

[@TommyViper]

You were definitely on the right track but it's actually the Bunny Hood that will stop Stalchildren from spawning. You can also stay on the dirt paths on Hyrule Field as well and they will not spawn. And one other thing, if you stand on the ledge facing Kakariko Village and stand right up against the fence, the Stalchildren will still spawn but they will actually spawn on the ground below, effectively stopping them from attacking you since you're up high. But one thing that always made me wonder is how and why Peahats seem to activate at different levels of closeness. The one by Gerudo Valley seems to activate even if you're 19 miles away, but several other ones you have to be closer in order to have them launch out of the ground and start coming after you.

[@drwily]

first one will be tested, and peahats, no clue why

[@deathsheir2035]

I like the different colored gauntlets. They behave exactly like the gold gauntlets, so performing the glitch after getting the gold gauntlets is viable. And the gauntlets only disappear after you receive a strength upgrade, as the new strength upgrade replaces the texture. I can't remember if it also disappears after saving and quitting though.

a simple trick i discovered: the Hammer can affect some things that would normally require a bomb. for example, you can use it against the second "flare dancer" miniboss in the Fire temple. or to open some holes in the ground. oh, and i've found that the Hookshot and Longshot can hook many Climbable surfaces. of of my favorite tricks i near the end of the Light temple, where you are expected to climb a very tall wall with moving segments that can throw you off, and lots of Skulltulas. BUT, if you destroy the two "Beamos" enemies, stand on the small platform where they were, and aim the Longshot at the top of the wall, you can instantly get on top!

I love the fact that the deku stick is so powerful. Does the "unbreakable deku stick" change its power since it'll stay in half? I'm sure you've done it, but if not, do it by having a cliff behind you and swinging the deku stick against something that'll break it.

[@drwily]

no it doesnt, a deku stick is a deku stick

[@Birdsflight44]

One I like is this utterly bizarre but convenient glitch where holding Z+R during certain dialogue while receiving an item from some NPCs that give you multiple items. Specifically, you can use this with King Zora and the Fishing Guy. While speaking to King Zora as an adult during the dialogue where you get the free Zora Tunic, hold down R, and you should get a different reward from his item table. Use this with him as an adult to swap the Zora Tunic for an early Eyeball Frog, skipping much of the Biggoron Sword quest. You can buy a tunic later, so its no big deal. (I thiiiink this just needs you to hold R? Maybe it is Z+R, But I can't recall for certain, haven't done it in years) The Fishing Pond fella is a bit more tricky, as its both more difficult to pull off, and if you aren't careful, I believe you can lock yourself out of a heart piece. (But I recently did this on Switch, so it should work on most versions) The most useful reward for this is to go in as child Link before you've broken any records, catch a fish over 6lbs but under 10lbs, (so you break a record but don't miss the heart piece) and keep the fish. Don't do any more inputs, just get into deep water, so Link starts swimming. Face the door, and make sure there's nothing you can actively target. Now, hold Z+R, (Again, don't Z-target anything) and while holding them the entire time, leave the water and walk up qnd what with the fishing pond fella. Weigh your fish. The reward should be the Gold Scale. If you have issues, there's plenty of speedrunner videos that demonstrates the process. Some really cool people figured out how this works- apparently, the little hamsters in the cartridge get delayed by the R input for some reason, and assumes you got the previous reward, and skips forward a few item slots. And in both of these cases, the items are really convenient!

[@Levacque]

The little hamsters in my cartridge?? Should I be feeding them?

[@QuasarEE]

I did a bunch of work trying to understand the code that's responsible for the fishing pond case of this glitch and it turns out it's some extra code that actually shouldn't be in there at all. Apparently at some point they managed to trigger this condition during development where he wouldn't give you any item at all due to you holding those buttons (the game in general is constantly checking against states like "targeting", "swimming", "climbing", "in a cutscene", etc to prevent various actions from overlapping in unexpected ways, and doing this in the pond causes one of those to happen). So what the dev seems to have done is just add an extra bit of code to specially give you the gold scale in that case. This is separate from the code that gives the gold scale the expected way. So in trying to make it more fool proof they still made it arguably more buggy.

You can go underwater in frozen Zora's Domain as an adult if you Hookshot to the top of the steel ladder used to climb back to the main entrance. You will clip inside the wall since link wants to grab to the ledge instead of grabbing the ladder. Drop down and equip Iron boots to Walk under Zora's domain, you can find a secret alcove that went unused and was theorized to contain the Triforce 😲!

[@drwily]

[@QuasarEE]

My understanding is that it's actually related to a cut area referred to in leaks as the "Zora Hotel". I know that sounds crazy and fake but it was really something that was planned to be part of the game early on. There's also a tunnel in the gigaleak (IIRC, either that or the F-Zero overdump) that may have connected to this area as the end matches up in terms of shape.
