How to beat A Link to the Past in under 3 Minutes

This is a tutorial for how to beat The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past in under 3 minutes! It's a really easy glitch, so give it a try!
The video here performs it on a SNES, though I do believe it's possible on Virtual Console as well. It does not seem to be possible on the GBA version, however.

How to play A Link Between Worlds before it came out.

[@shepherdstar14]

you win XD

[@MXGaming378]

And how to play a link between worlds on switch

[@SSZaris]

Can you imagine how cool this would've been back when it came out. You'd be like the coolest mofe on the block XD

[@SSZaris]

I meant to say mofe. It's how I say it :)

[@rainer-heikohelmelaid6496]

Oh kay then

[@SSZaris]

Rainer-heiko Helmelaid Hehe :)

[@GodOfTheeGames]

SSZaris Either way, it was still incorrect. Many people on the internet usually don't care how people say certain words, for as again, it would be usually wrong and somewhat confusing. NOW GET BACK IN THE CLOSET! :P

[@SSZaris]

GodOfTheeGames You don't know who Gav is do you? :P

Sorry for the huge delay on the Glitchfest guys, I really do feel bad about it, I promise I'm working on it. Been in a bit of a rut lately so I haven't been able to bring the enthusiasm I like to bring for my videos and I can't bring myself to make a sub-par quality video. Hope you all understand, it'll be out eventually

[@Scykoh]

I mentioned near the end that I tried this on the GBA. I couldn't get it to work, though I can't confirm if it DOESN'T work. The problem I had was the enemy that you need to hit you through the wall is in a different spot, so I couldn't get it to line up properly. Feel free to try if you want, but don't get your hopes up! (Also, side note, the GBA version has a long unskippable intro cutscene, so even if the glitch works you can't beat the game in under 3 minutes)

[@Scykoh]

Yup, my next video will be the Glitchfest for this game! (Unless I do another highlight reel from the live stream, but that doesn't count)

[@mike_zoni]

Damn it scyhoh 9 years later and I still love coming back to your videos and reliving the good memories I had when I first found your channel

[@Scykoh]

As mentioned in the video I tried in the GBA version and couldn't get it to work, not sure if it's impossible or not. Keep in mind the GBA has a really long intro cutscene though so even if it did work it wouldn't be under 3 minutes.

i think a link bettween worlds was inspired by this glicth

Is the "walking along walls" thing where the idea for Link Between Worlds came from?

[@mickledatpickle7346]

yes maybe no

[@gabrieli7774]

Scykoh made a video about how to beat this game in under 3 minutes.. This video is also under 3 minutes long... Triangle has 3 sides and there are 3 triangles/triforces in Link to the past...... ILLUMINATI CONFIRMED

l just discovered your channel an hour ago, and I'm already hooked on all of your videos. You've earned yourself another sub.

[@RetardedEmotions]

Scykoh! I'm so glad I found this channel. It's really awesome! Keep up with theese glitch videos.You explain them really well and makes them easy to understand! Also, you have a great voice ;) Keep it up man!

[@akrylic_]

Loving these consistently high quality videos glad I subbed

[@TestTest-hu1gj]

This video is 9yrs old and with the even more rise of youtube, the glitch community has grown even bigger since then. Good to see the OG vids!

[@Scykoh]

Some of these videos take longer than 24 hours to make, it would be literally impossible for me to upload daily, sorry. :(

[@fearlesprobe]

I have to say your voice is like a golden announcer's voice it's cool and fun to listen to while you are going through these games. Look forward to that glitchfest!

[@GamingPlayer123]

Tried this on my SNES Classic Edition, and it worked. The glitch is intact. Like many others on this comment section, I got it without a problem. Suspend Points really help.

[@Swifter2001]

Awesome! Keep up the good work scykoh! You sure will hit, someday, the 1 mil Milestone!

[@Shandrazel_Michael]

I subbed to you today and i have to say your videos quality is superb, i had to laugh so many times, i love all your current videos. Great voice, great entertainment ^^ cant wait for more :D

[@MisterTipp]

Dude! You got so much potential! I'm so happy I subbed fairly early on, as I feel your channel is going to grow very fast! Good luck! :D

[@andres89c]

Your videos are amazing! keep up the good work!

[@Scykoh]

It's a pretty common glitch to see in speed runs, it's an old glitch which I take no credit for discovering, I'm just laying it out in a tutorial format so others can easily follow along. :)

[@TimeBombGage]

OMG You are! Dude, You made it, congrats, Haven't heard from you in YEARS! I was subbed to your old channel 3 or so years back, at the time that I subbbed you had like 100 subs and now look at ya, Congrats man!

[@VanillaGamingCo]

Standing clap to who figured this out originally. Took some serious concentration and thought. Well played.

[@alakazamforever]

Just wanted to say I LOVE your videos :D I really want to see more GlitchFest!

[@biohazard2236]

When you were speeding through the walls, wasn't that the song that it plays when you race Johnny in Chrono Trigger?

[@sebbie_gonzo]

That is indeed the song!

[@Scykoh]

Yup, it's linked in the video description.

[@Scykoh]

This is a ROM though there are videos of it being performed on actual SNES hardware on Zeldaspeedruns. Speed running with this glitch has its own category, most categories don't allow it.

[@mouse7327]

Thanks! The tutorial for this couldn't be any better.

[@jaredai156]

Awesome, I need to go exploring now. I'm not big on "beating" a game really fast but I love sequence breaking glitches and going out of order. And thanks for actually replying, I love that about you. I always see dozens of replies from you in the comments and I really appreciate you responding to your viewers

[@seamusparker4550]

You are one of my fav youtubers you're hilarious and make great videos i hope you get tons of subs

[@ethank3958]

I was surprisingly able to do this on my first try on the SNES Classic

[@melo-7904]

Well it is a emulation of the original and almost completely unmodified (some flashing scenes have been slowed down in most games that have flashing for both the nes classic and and snes classic) so most if not all bugs And glitches will still work (based on the latest American revision for both America, Australia and presumably Europe based on the latest Japanese revision for the Japanese version of the console)

[@pheffernoose1]

thanks, your glitch fest videos are really good.

[@TimeDestroyer9]

Did it first go as always great tutorial scykoh!

[@timothyjones4682]

Ok how to do this glitch on the gba is you have to have the magic mirror and you need to have access to the thieves hideout in dark kakariko village. Here are the steps. 1. Enter the thieves hide out and walk to the ledge. 2. Jump off the ledge and hit the mirror at the same time. This is tricky and i think frame perfect. 3. After the mirror effects ware off turn left and use the pegasus boots to dash and crash into the wall left of the right. After this you will fall through the floor and be able to roam. I used this glich to get into the temple of the four sword. Edit: if you try this at least on the snes classic link will start moving up the room without input. After reaching a wall or a door he will go through dissapear for a moment then begin rising from the bottom of the screen once more. After one cycle of this your game will freeze leaving with only imputs that dont effect link ie. Opening your items menue, opening the map, and saving the game and quiting. After saving and quiting and after jumping off of a ledge my link was stuck underneath the floor making invulnerable and untargetable but obstacles will still impede movement . I think you can complete the game like this because i was able to jump to the light world after moving under ground

[@djeclipse8816]

I love your glitches dude =D

[@kryofgod187]

Iv never felt so accomplished of doing nothing but beating something at the same time this is badass

[@Nrver]

I have been subscribed since I think 1000 subscribers? I dunno but you have really grown on youtube :D

[@mrvinny985]

Man, do i love your videos :)

[@Scykoh]

It's a pretty simple glitch, something about saving mid-air makes it so if you're hit near a wall you fall down a layer, beneath the world, then you simply walk to the end cutscene trigger which just happens to be in the same castle, just by the games design.

[@elstupidproduction]

I just found this channel and now I'm addicted to watching his videos.

[@bobmarley2539]

Pardon me, but your voice is perfect for Let's Plays.

[@dejectedangel4970]

ScykohPlays.

[@Scykoh]

That's alright, it takes a bit of practice (and a little luck with enemy placement) I believe the record on the US version with this method is 2:53 or 2:54, somewhere around there. The fastest period is 1:41, but that uses a different method that is incredibly complicated and would not be easy to replicate, so I decided to use this method for the tutorial since it's one people would easily be able to do themselves.

[@Scykoh]

Thanks Kaitlyn, will do!

[@nightshademagia]

I did it! It WORKED! I know you and A+Start are the best at glitches!

[@cavemaster]

+Dario Gargano they are

[@gordonng4812]

DOSENT matter how many videos you have it just matters that you try your best on the video and make it the most AMAZING as possible! That's what Scykoh does...

[@That_Retro_Artist]

Scykoh you are going to be the next BIG thing! :)

[@RadioactiveCerealBox]

It actually worked. Thank you!

[@Scykoh]

I don't know the technical side of things, but basically save while in midair allows for the glitch where getting hit puts you down a level. My guess is that you save in the air, while the game is waiting to put 'Link' from the 2nd floor down to the 1st floor, then because you save/quit, he's stuck in a transition period. Then, getting hit triggers it and puts you down a floor.

[@pizzacat4489]

BEST CHANNEL EVER

[@itsvhek5295]

Cool glitch. I spent an entire summer as a kid trying to beat this game and figure out some of the cryptic stuff in it. Nintendo Power was my friend sometimes.

[@ZironOfTime]

What happens if you do this glitch with Zelda following you?

[@RusticClonepro]

Awesome video man

[@hannahfb]

not only did he beat the game in under 3 minutes, the video was also under 3 minutes. consistency.

[@iboggled]

i just found the best channel on youtube

[@Miles52431]

Lol this glitchy is pretty awesome, good job finding it

[@PhazonEnder]

Thumbs up for the Chrono Trigger music. BTW, great video, I'll definitely be subscribing.

[@Macarthurmaintenance]

Works on the SNES mini! You can even use save states and it doesn’t mess it up. Thanks!

[@simply_hawaiian]

Thanks Scykoh, It worked on Wii u for me! 😀

[@ShortMiao]

If you're wondering,yes,it works with Nintendo Switch Online: SNES. Just tested it.

[@ChickenfishOfDoom]

I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS AAAAAHHHH!!!

[@goobstergamez283]

You are honestly AWESOME!

[@pebble6087]

for those wondering. yes it does work on emulators even with restore states

[@landenestes8065]

I did this glitch many times and succeeded every time.

[@Scykoh]

Haven't explored the possibilities of those yet, but my guess is there's a good chance it's yes.

[@sephirothzelda42]

You can also see the prototypes for bosses and such, like if you go south west multiple times, you can find trinexx, and a lot of his forms that do and don't work. You also can find pieces of him, like his legs standing there by themselves.

[@avibrum7620]

This is so cool it accually worked

[@mudkivense]

i love your glitchfest :)

[@ethomoreno896]

If you download this game from eshop on the 3ds version, will the glitch still work???

[@Scykoh]

This is more just a tutorial, a full Glitchfest for this game will be out next week

[@Incubus_Killer]

You are awesome best commentary ever

[@Scykoh]

Wind Waker is my favorite Zelda, actually! I'll do a Wind Waker episode of Glitchfest eventually, but not for a looong while because new stuff is still constantly being discovered for that game, I want to give it time to settle down.

[@watermelonboba5221]

It looks awesome!

[@randomstuffwithjo4492]

6 years later and still works

[@tnbJimmy]

You beat it in 3 minutes... AND YOU STILL GET THE FRUIT BACK

[@KN13F]

keep making awesome videos like all your videos please! :D

[@PointThree]

Creativity can't be rushed. Take your time.

[@Scykoh]

Yeah, I try to :) hopefully people still find it easy to follow. I cut through stuff like getting to the castle very quickly, because it's literally exactly the same as a casual playthrough.

[@AidanRickard]

Oh sure, I have not seen much of this Scykoh so I was not aware of that!

[@thedivinityman]

it works on the SNES on the switch I just did it

[@0killerx]

I would like to state that it works on Virtual Console. It's actually easier to do the glitch in Zelda's prison room down in the holding prison. You can even bring Zelda along if you like if you do the jump midair save game with her. Just go back to the prison room and head straight up for a while and when you can't go up go left a screen until you hit the ganon room and just do what the video said from there.

[@Scykoh]

Awesome, not bad!

[@nicO98123]

He is right. This glitches very easy to do but also very fun. You can literary explore the entire map.

[@joshcantrell4720]

It works on the classic mini snes console. Did it on my first try It's raining in the end sequence, and the sanctuary is glitching, and the end credits shifted from red background to green all while still raining.

[@mustaachio867]

Please come back, Scykoh

[@Scykoh]

Got it, will fix!

[@CKru8789]

I was hoping someone would be able to take a 12 hour legendary game like this down to under 3 minutes. Happy 30th in NA LTTP!!!

[@copeland5348]

It works on the SNES games for switch. I just did it.

[@babysinclairfan]

If you mess around while out of bounds, you can find some interesting stuff. For example, if you go left after Ganon appears, you'll find another ganon room. It will even trigger Ganon's dialogue

[@cristinamarierosado10]

So basically Link’s a ghost 😂🤣 this is amazing

[@aguywithachannel9319]

wait do you have to do the bush thing to preform the glitch
