I love how this is like "pure" glitch hunting. It reminds me a lot of the difference between pure and applied math, where here instead of worrying about things like "speed" and "if there's any way this could ever be useful in a run" it's a journey to answer a question for no other reason than the fact that it's a natural question to ask, so it's interesting. And who knows, maybe these techniques will end up in runs soon, or years in the future, just like so many concepts in pure math finding applications decades or centuries after being developed.

[@huzzzzzzahh]

Also the comedic timing on introducing each new glitch was incredible

[@Timberwolfee]

Thanks!! Yeah I would love for this to work its way into being speed run viable. I actually cut out a section where I talk about it. I like to make things happen by any means and work backwards to try to make it fast. That's how I did the route for intro clip.

[@Vivigreeny25]

Not gonna lie there is something upsetting about how much Zelda’s absence is felt by the end. In the original game you’re looking for something that’s *right* in front of you, but here she’s… She’s really just not there. She’s really gone.

[@Timberwolfee]

I know! Talk about changing the timeline.

[@wild180]

Link: *jumps off* The wind: imma carry you riiiight over here Zelda: nah that's too far, im out

[@whodistoodis]

I can only assume that the reason Zelda appears in the final fight is that its actually a different NPC entity. Despite sharing a model, she has different behavior routines and and likely stored in a completely separate memory location. The regular light dragon that you removed from time and space is called for all the memory cutscenes, and since that particular NPC was never spawned in the world, the cutscenes fail.

[@sofienielsen4608]

That is what im thinking too

[@5MadMovieMakers]

Neat how you credit the people who discovered the various glitches!

[@Timberwolfee]

As much as I can. This ain’t all me. A lot of people put in some hard work to find the glitches I used.

[@Imperial_Squid]

​@@Timberwolfeerelatedly, thanks for crediting the music used in the corner too! Never before have I been so baffled while listening to such funky music

[@sirbirbton]

That's neat? I thought that was kinda to be expected...

[@Timberwolfee]

@@sirbirbton it should be imo. But after being an avid viewer turned video maker, you’d be surprised how many people just make a video about something and never mention anyone.

[@tactical_slime4608]

Really interesting how there is a flag/state that just disables her model almost everywhere. Kinda was expecting her model to have a unique cutscene version that would appear but it's probably good optimization to reuse the same exact model

[@Timberwolfee]

True! I just got the ultracam mod and Imma look into some of the cutscenes and see what happens when it transitions back to the game

[@Keanine]

@@Timberwolfee Did you ever get the chance to check if her collision is still loaded? Would be interesting if it was just the mesh that was hidden

[@professionallid]

The year is 2026. We use this glitch every day to get the master sword in 13 seconds to skip the light dragon cutscene and then ghost glue ourselves to ganon and 1 tap him. the any % world record is 15 seconds

[@Timberwolfee]

You can use a text dive to get into the well as young link in OOT. Very useful in randomizer runs.

god what a great video, i love the staggering quantity of intimate game knowledge it would take to even create a circumstance like this, and the payoff being an absolutely absurd and very broken game state, thank you for sharing this with us, it was really fun to watch!

[@Timberwolfee]

Thanks! I learned on the way to my goals. And maybe too many hours playing the game haha

[@cinthiaMP]

so this is how you play in an au where zelda never decided to become a dragon

At around 9:20 this video starts to sound like an alien ad from Rick and Morty :P "But how DO you zuggle it? Remember to pack your florgl ronter next time you attempt a ghost glue fuse entangle!"

[@Aretsyu]

Loved this vid! It's nice to see that the TOTK glitch-hunting community still active, and I loved your editing style (specially with how you showed the zuggle/fuse entanglement glitches)

[@Timberwolfee]

Thanks!! I'm still going to be working away at this game, I still have some large goals and I think I'll be able to reach them if I keep at it. Also there are still a ton of people in the discords doing the lords work.

A glitch is in fact a developer oversight. A glitch occurs when, the code works perfectly (as in no exception occurs), but it doesn't do what is expected to do, or at least not fully.

[@starflayers]

so glad i found your videos on my recomended page and decided to subscribe! i wouldve never thought skipping the intro could softlock a mainline quest for this game

[@Timberwolfee]

Right! That’s what I do it for! I love learning what happens when you do stuff like this. Even if it’s nothing!

[@ferruscube]

I saw you commentate around the TotK SR discord that you managed to got this, it's nice to see now how the whole process works. My mind inmediately jumps to the idea of how would this impact low%. There's been a little debate whether cutscenes should count as game progression, we were mainly thinking in stuff like the cutscenes in the prologue (which you skip anyways if you want to go fast) or someting like the captain construct cutscene inside In-Isa (although that one will play again if you reenter the shrine even if you have already triggered it). I lean more towards the position that cutscenes shouldn't count, although I can't deny that skipping the Title Cutscene is something pretty big. For that to be even useful we would need to be able to perform the skip without having more items than the ones we already use for the run, which is just MNFs, so even if all the ZLOTing could be done with the MNFs which I have no idea if it is possible, we would need something else to textdive since the korok gives us the poopy, but that also gives us acces to the inventory so that alternative for textdive should also allow for that, so I doubt something like that exists. Anyways, great job, really interesting find, and such a well made video!

[@sinteleon]

Perhaps, but you do get a korok seed for the effort.

[@xthriteenx]

I love the evolution of this video like 5 months ago you tried skipping the cutscene and could never get it to work, but months later you did it :)

[@ghoughh]

Comment for the algorithm, love how thorough your glitch explanations are! Great work!!

[@Timberwolfee]

Thank you!

[@casualbird7671]

I just adore how glitches can be combined together to do complex tasks like this. Your step by step process of involving more and more elaborate glitches all at once is truly brilliant

[@mulberryYT]

Awesome video! Super interesting to see the consequences of skipping the setting of a flag in a save file. It might be useful toggling some of these flags and checking the effects to decide what would be worth pursuing in vanilla.

[@Timberwolfee]

I don’t know much about the flag stuff but I’m always down to test and collab.

I had to rewatch the "'bye-bye', he says" scene like four times before I could continue without cry-laughing. What spectacular fucking comedy. The way it just zooms the fuck out like the game itself is going "whuh, where the fuck did he go??". The way Link didn't even land in water. The cheer of the Korok. It's so good

Totk community and Celeste community should have a ridiculous tech name contest "I ZLOT the fuse entangled zuggled sword"(forgive me for ignorance) Vs "Oh, I did a gultra into a spliped droost"(??????)

[@Timberwolfee]

lmao, are those celeste glitches real? they sound made up! hahah

[@ShockMicro]

@@Timberwolfee Yeah! A "gultra" is short for a grounded ultra, which is a tech that (simplifying here) lets you build up extra speed by grabbing something. A "splipped droost" is mostly a meme name, but it's a special way you can dash through a spiked dream block without actually entering it. Honorable mentions for tech names are "bubsdrop", a very specific tech involving vertical screen transitions, and the "cassoosted fuper", another meme name short for "cassette-boosted feather super". The Celeste wiki actually has a nice page on all the different techs, and it's a very interesting read if you like the game. The best part is, you only ever need four of the ones listed on the page to actually beat the game in its entirety.

A shaky minority asked, "Why the hell did we go there?" The answer is not in the result. The answer is in the journey. The act of going there turned out to be the important part. In that same vein, your act of performing this title cutscene skip is the important part. The results? Who cares. Very well done and very well explained. You're an easy presenter to like. I wish you the best and 10g subs will be easy for such an awesome talent.
