The problem with making your overworld 3d/ freeroam is that it’s 3d/freeroam. Glitch hunters WILL find a way to break it.

[@ohno5559]

I mean, they could have pretty easily just disabled entrance to worlds you're not supposed to have access to

[@Aeduo]

@@ohno5559 It's a pretty unlikely thing to happen unintentionally through normal play, so it's probably not a big deal. It's certainly not a game-breaking bug, and one can probably just go back and play what they skipped if they want.

[@spimbles]

This is not a “problem with making your overworld 3D” bro it’s only possible because of how several other mechanics operate and their oversights, i.e. teleporting jank in conjunction with how unrestricted the collision is. This kind of thing has been done in 2D overworlds many of times, it’s not an overworld issue it’s a mechanics issue lmfao

[@gorgolyt]

This only works because they implemented collision etc. for non-free roam areas which didn't need it at all. If they hadn't done that the glitch wouldn't work.

[@CheesyLizzy]

I personally don't see a problem with it as long as it's a glitch you have to choose to do intentionally like this one

Day 1: Why doesn't this new game have any glitches? Weird. Day 3: Glitch compilation.

[@blazingice3365]

all games are glitchless til there not

[@Jobocan.]

If a game is well made enough you won't encounter any glitches until you find the specific thing that breaks it. Playing OoT normally you'd think nothing about it is broken at all, but looking into speedruns you find out the game is barely holding on the entire time because of how broken it can be. Modern games, especially in the west, are so outwardly broken, it's hard to realize that games that work fine are also broken in their own way. It's common knowledge now that Pokemon Gen 1 is a fucking mess, but no one playing it back when it came out had any idea.

[@chaotickreg7024]

@@Jobocan. But that's not really true, you just have had time tp forget.

[@alinkbetweengames4328]

3:55 I love how this chart begins with a check that isn't required for completing the quest. I skipped it by accident on my first playthrough, and it feels completely natural.

[@kingjO444]

i was there in the discord the night all this was found. It started at around 9 PM when a user BurgerWithFreys was able to skip the world 1 palace. then a couple hours later, a user name Roblox found a way to clip out of bounds anywhere on the map where there was a dotted line starting which begun all of this craziness! I was the first to theorize that only worlds 4,5 and 6 would need to be beaten to unlock the game, which was then proven true by a modder of the game. The next 4 hours into the hours of the morning were people optimizing and finding ways to skip the first 3 worlds and abuse the new out of bounds. All of this was in the span of 8 hours and was crazy to be apart of!

[@I_SEE_RED]

Yeah but no bitches

[@Skittle0Skill]

I can't get over how it's been lwss than 2 weeks and we already broke a lot of the game! Glitches like this actually make me wanna take up Wonder running!

[@Over0w0MeAmTheHotel]

Thank you so much for allowing us to just skip the sponsor segment with the chapters feature

[@quinndepatten4442]

Having a discord full of speed runners could probably help with QA. If you want to know if something can be broken, these are the guys.

[@DistractionsDaily]

Update: Patched. In 1.1, the game won't even let you pause until your character comes to a full stop on the world map.

[@Waikuteru]

Nice video! I think it's easy to fix (for Nintendo) since you can set whether an event will be executed only if the player is on ground or also while mid-air.

[@MeesterTweester]

This is the best thing that could've happened to a 2D Mario game, the run was over 2 hours without skips, and now the world record is 1 hour 30 minutes, a more accessible run length IMO.

[@OroborOSX11]

I’m definitely surprised Nintendo didn’t implement a bounds check for characters every other frame or so. If a character is OOB, snap them to the nearest in-bounds coordinate.

[@Exoleres]

The Switch's computation speed was never particularly fast, and that's true now more than ever. It might seem trivial to add something like that as a one-off, but there's literally just not enough headroom to design a whole game with such expensive calculations running constantly. It always has performance implications on such weak hardware, and to what end? Blocking a tiny minority from exploiting a game mechanic?

[@sirmoonslosthismind]

@@Exoleres it's absolutely ludicrous to suggest there's a "computation speed" problem here. the developers just didn't care. they don't stress about glitches in games that aren't intended to be competitive.

[@N12015]

​@@sirmoonslosthismindSpecially since they are Japanese, and see this as them making a poor job (If only GameFreak could do the same...).

[@Exoleres]

@@sirmoonslosthismind Say you know nothing about coding without saying you know nothing about coding.

[@Johncw87]

@@Exoleres The switch is only slow in comparison to competitor consoles, but it's still a pretty fast machine. People keep incorrectly using the "comparative slowness" as an excuse for why they couldn't implement something. Unless you are intimately familiar with the game's frametime budget, you really shouldn't make such assumptions.

[@aberrantreptile]

I'm always up for big glitches like this existing. If it's something completely out of the way that you actively need to look for to access, then it's like an unintentional secret that doesn't at all harm the core game for most players. Speedrunners and glitch hunters get to have fun with them and it doesn't hurt the experience for everyone else, it's a net positive.

@@Tinaphromadalso because its a game with a „fixed path“ level selector, theres no way to skip stuff.

[@TaxEvasion1452]

It’s so long right now because the game is new. Every other Mario game has been out for 5 years+ now, there’s been time to find skips in those. New games always take time to lower the any%. Give it a few weeks/months and it will be much shorter

Twilight Princess on GameCube also has a similar thing, where it only checks for the last shard of the Twilight Mirror to access the Twilight Temple

[@Wuerschtle]

Most games fo this, since usually you need to complete A to be able to do Part B, so the game assumes if youve done Part B, you also did part A. Some games, like the newer pokemon versions, dont even bother checking at all. They assume if you made it to the elite 4, you must have all badged.

Didnt even realize this was a linkus video at first cuz it wasnt zelda

[@jamicajuno9908]

I know that this will be unimportant for most players, but you can't move out of bounds with the d-pad while a character is one of the linear paths, because as soon as you press a direction that would let you a character move on the paths it will put your out of bounds character back on the path. This will not happen if your inbounds character is in an open world area.

[@thanderhop1489]

There's gotta be a speedrunner inside nintendo throwing us a bone like that. They just make the royal seed flags what they are and hope a gltich or skip is discovered to take advantage of it

[@Wuerschtle]

They probably dont think about speedrunners. It just makes programmatically more sense to just check the late game stuff, since you usually need to do the early game anyway to even get to the later stuff. The only problem is of course that implementing additional checks is usually easy, so it will probably get patched pretty quick.
