Game: bugs and becomes unbeatable zfg: beats it anyway like a boss Dry: turns it into a feature-length film

[@the_bookworm8281]

Oh, I remember this seed. This was a legendary seed that is truly one-of-a-kind. The discovery of the absolutely borked Inverse Stone Tower 14 hours in, into a herculean hovering up Fire Temple not once, but TWICE. The will of one rando player to never accept a seed unbeatable.

[@briansilva3765]

ZFG randomly threw some budget to Dry.

[@rtyuik7]

yeah, that Chest-Open Transition is one of his favorite tricks... ...well really, Any camera-controlling animation is a potential target for Dry's edits-- reading a sign, opening a door, jumping off a really high cliff...dude can turn a 100%-NoSRM run into an Entrance-Shuffled Temple-Chaining "fake Rando" highlights video, if he could only afford to...

Usually, I prefer the vod to the highlight reel. There is always a lot of context missing to everything ZFG and chat says. But when the highlight reel is two hours, I don't think I dare even look for the vod.

Okay, 6:27 is a classic Dry transition, and it's awesome. But I also really love at 37:32 how salty GuildedDragon gets at chat over gamba. Knowingly putting Stone on gamba when it's easy to get it fantastic, and I agree with him, chat had the facts, so no refund LUL

I always love to watch these supercut vids in the day, and have the uncut lives play at night while I sleep. I have become a true KZbin Frog.

[@scatlinksean]

Inverted Stone Tower chests becoming corrupted made the Fire Temple a complete nightmare. As if the Fire Temple wasn't bad enough already. Farore's Wind alone would've allowed to skip the hover after doing it once.

[@TheHonestL1ar]

1:54:40 Don't worry, Dry, your editing pain does not go unappreciated.

[@viovenus992]

The blank "you got !" Is surprisingly jarring, why did everything else get replaced with junk while Farore simply got deleted?

[@rtyuik7]

apparently, something in a recent change to how things were named in that-version of the Rando corrupted all of that temple's checks...something like changing "StoneTowerTempleInverted" to "InvertedStoneTowerTemple", when trying to shuffle the items, means that some items were sent to [NoLocation] while an entire dungeon was loaded with [NoItem]s

[@viovenus992]

@@rtyuik7 oh that makes sense, interesting that it was the only one there though. Unless there were more blank items on stream

[@rtyuik7]

@@viovenus992 oh there were quite a few Blank Items in that dungeon lol...some chests were just "wrong" (like Gomess having a Heart Container instead of Romani's Mask) but others were completely borked ("You got !") ...to me, whats funny is that theres also a recent addition of "literally nothing" items (as in, instead of ice traps or blue rupees, the textbox says 'You got *literally nothing* !') but these "glitched checks" arent supposed to be Nothings...

[@viovenus992]

@@rtyuik7 yeah, my only thought on that is maybe the game simply ran out of things to put into chests since everything in ISTT was basically deleted. Tho ofc I have no way of knowing for sure

14:05 The video of ISG is on a channel called TheHeroMX, and MX is the abbreviation of Mexico, so I think it's safe to assume that ZFG is correct here :)

I remember tutorials mentioning ISG in MM back around 2004 or so, though the method it mentioned was using a postbox in clock town, which limited its applications.

[@neros_soren]

I appreciate the editing effort at 6:25. Just sad, that close to no one ever notices, when an editor actually enjoys what they do, and that shows with small things like those.

[@smittyk.werbenjagermanjens4914]

25:28 chat "et tu Darknut?" 😂

[@SvelaPrisera]

Regarding the glitched chests in the Inverted Stone Tower Temple, the chests can spawn when you are in normal STT just upside down, and the player can actually open them up while they are so with some speed-running shenanigans. As such, if they were opened while in normal STT would the checks be the same as inverted or would they be how they should have been, namely the key ring and the hammer? I figured that Normal vs Inverted would technically be different game states so maybe the checks would change with said game states, similar to Hidden Owl Statue. Visible, but normally inaccessible to the player. Obviously, it's likely too late to check this since the chests were opened already and, more importantly, ZFG moved on from the seed (so it's long been deleted). However, I wonder if it's possible to intentionally make both Normal and Inverted Stone Tower Temple generate with two separate seeds in one game.
