I managed to get to the secret Chris Houlihan room one time when I was playing this as a kid. I freaked out and tried forever to find the room again but never could. It was one of the most amazing gaming experiences of my life, I remember thinking that I had stumbled upon something really rare & exceptional. I remember telling my friends about it and nobody believed me :[

[@King-tk5bg]

@@OfficerHotpants Most likely when Mental Slime show them the video and tell them that's what he's been talking about, then don't even remember it and don't believe he found the secret room years ago.

Out of curiosity, when was this? Do you happen to be one of the few who saw this room before the rise of SNES emulation at the outset of the millennium?

[@ZorotheGallade]

When you think about it, ALTTP is where the Zelda's more dark and grimy chapters started from. Link's uncle tries to stop Aghanim from taking over the castle, and dies. Link rescues Zelda and entrusts her to a priest...and just as he's ready to retrieve the Master Sword, the priest gets killed and Zelda gets taken. Then he storms Aghanim's tower just a hair too late to see Zelda get sacrificed and the world shifting into the Dark World. Sure, it only gets better from that point on, with Link finding all the artifacts and rescuing the maidens, but...heck, isn't it ironic that everything that happens in the Light World is the darker part of the game?

[@christophermilton5873]

ZorotheGallade his uncle doesn't actually die, if you watch the credits at the end it shows link and his uncle sword training

[@Vyroz]

@@christophermilton5873 Because when Link gathers the Triforce he wishes for everything to get back to normal, reviving his uncle and priest.

[@Neags]

@@Vyroz When did the uncle die, I thought before the credits the last time you see him is links takes the sword and shield from him in the dungeon?

[@dennisteufel9938]

Agreed! I just started playing the game again on Switch. ALttP was one if the first SNES games I had back in the early 90s, and playing it again through adult eyes I've begun to notice how dark the game gets. I realized this as a child, but ever so more as an adult. I can't help but wonder what an updated version would look like. Hopefully, it'll be as dark as my imagination makes it.

[@leonidchorkov1254]

@@Neags he gives the sword and the shield to you, *because* he is dying and dies after that. (It's hard to see because pixel animations aren't that clear)

There are 2 game breaking glitches, one I found on my own, and another was found in "glitch picnic". The one in glitch picnic lets you enter an area from behind, it is best to do it on death mountain, you need the hook shot for this, you aim the hook shot down to see if you line up in the middle of the rock that you see at the bottom or nearly the bottom of the screen, but you should be on the spectacle rock, if you are lined up perfectly, look up, charge your sword and jump off the edge, if done perfectly, you should enter the cave which will make you stuck. You can't move, and you MUST reset to escape the glitch, I believe if you save your game, you will permanently be stuck, so don't do it unless you want to troll your friend that they can't move. The other glitch was discovered by myself, do the exploration glitch, head into a blank room, or a house room that would normally have the floor assets set to house, (hint, if you don't know what I am talking about, Link's house is an example) then what I did was travel to the room you will go into when you enter Ganon's tower, don't jump in it, instead travel to the right said it, with the camera showing the entrance, travel a room to the right, and you should see the 2nd fight against Agahnim, then what I think I did was go to the room to the right and the game crashed, and you could hear the snow sound. Reset the game and on the file menu, ALL of you save files will be gone. This game breaking glitch is extreme! The one that was on glitch picnic forced you to delete a save file to escape if you saved your game after the glitch but the game breaking glitch I discovered is more deadly. Avoid doing either of these game breaking glitches if you have or are doing it on a completed file.

I've been glitching alttp for so many years now, I'm actually pleasantly surprised that you were able to explain a lot of these glitches that I didn't fully understand, which helps me in my glitching quest, but not only that, you actually knew about a glitch or two that I didn't. Much props, you are awesome.

[@CrimsonMoonM]

We've all heard about the Death Mountain descent glitch plenty of times but I've never seen the way it screws up and mixes around sprite assets between the worlds. That's really neat. Kudos for going much farther with the glitch than most people have documented.

I found another mushroom one: if you make a sparkly portal adjacent to and right next to the mushroom, then you walk into them both at the same time, Link will appear in the dark world holding nothing above his head at all and he'll be completely frozen XD

[@Lawlietho]

You can also use the exploration glitch in the GBA version to enter the extra dungeon you unlock after finishing Four Swords, withouth actually finishing Fourd Swords

[@schwartzbwithu]

The no-clip glitch is alot of fun. It seems like when you do this, you can access all the dungeons as well as all the caves in the game. I was able to get the bow, keys, Master Key, and several pieces of heart containers by jumping off a ledge in the Gargoyle's Domain and exiting the dungeon which puts you in Dark World Kakariko as regular link. It is raining though and there are no enemies and other characters. I am curious though how many dungeon items can be obtained this way, before you rescue Zelda the 1st time. You can repeat the no-clip trick each time you obtain an item, but the dungeon has to have a jumping spot to where you can clip back into the regular game and grab the big chest item. You can also do this and go to the room with Aganim and defeat him. It is odd cause you get to see him banish Zelda to the Dark World while Zelda is also following you. After defeating Aganim you are banished to the Dark World as bunny link with Zelda following you. This essentially breaks your game though cause even though you can then perform the no-clip again in the Dark World, without the Moon Pearl or the Mirror, there is nothing more you can do.

[@schwartzbwithu]

I am finding out now, that when you grab keys from the Gargoyle's Dungeon in no clip mode, when you actually visit the dungeon those chests will be empty. This breaks your game since this is where I grabbed the Master Key, and I am now unable to get it from the actual Gargoyle's Dungeon.

[@Mashukoria]

Matthew Schwartz If you're using an emulator you can enter in a code for the level 2 lifting glove.

[@occamania2262]

I've been playing this game since it came out, and this video blew my mind! Thank you for this!

[@anthares96]

i think i just accidentally discovered a glitch that i haven't seen featured anywhere else yet. when you're in ganon's tower on the third floor right in front of the stairs to access the fourth floor, use the pegasus boots to dash against the wall on the opposite side of the stairs. if you do it often enough, lanmola, the boss of the palace with the pendant of power, (which you should have just fought again), will glitch out of the floor and his sprite freeze in midair. everytime you bump against the wall, then, he's gonna move some more (it only works if you bump on the wall in front of the stairs, not on the others) in his usual pattern. you can't attack him, he's just gonna move a bit everytime you bump against the wall. if you leave the room, it gets back to normal. i have the gba version in french, so i don't know where else it might work. it's not as epic as glitching through walls, but i'm kinda proud to have found it :D

[@Fighter_Builder]

That's pretty cool!

[@adripin13]

+anthares96 wait... that's a glitch? i used to do it long ago thinking it was programed to do that xD

[@anthares96]

Adripin when i first saw it i thought it was gonna be another miniboss, but then i noticed that the sprite does nothing so i figured it must be some graphical glitch :p

RurouniZel Hey, welcome :) Thank you!

[@Nyarth128255]

Great video XD I found a variation of the mushroom glitch at 5:51. First off you would need to find any spot in the dark world outside, where there is a ledge you can jump off sideways. 1. Stand at the ledge 2. Jump off and use the Mirror at the same time 3. Link will warp back to the light world in mid-air 4. Now he is one level above everything including enemies. He can get their attention by making noise but neither can damage each other 5. You can't use the sparkly portal you created, so find a blue portal to the Dark World or go to the Hyrule Castle gates to return to dark world. (DO NOT jump off any cliffs or dash against anything during this time. You need to keep Link one level above everything.) 6. Go to the spot where the mushroom is, then warp to the light world. 7. This is the most important and easy to mess up part. Look at the portal and the mushroom. You didn't get the mushroom when you warped to the light world because you're still above everything (as long as you haven't jumped off any ledges or dashed into a wall). Now back off and look at the portal and mushroom. Make sure they are occupying the EXACT SAME SPACE. Down to the last single pixel. 8. Dash into a nearby wall, then walk into the mushroom and portal. Link will pick up the mushroom AND warp back to the dark world, simultaneously. 9. Now he is standing, holding air above his head forever and you can't do anything else. I imagine an annoying Chao floating above Link and saying "You got: nothing!"

[@yashpatel350]

You're doing some pretty awesome videos ! You, and The Game Theorists are my favourites right now ! :)

[@mickkelley3776]

I can imagine a mod un-patching the item dash. That would be so useful, especially when combined with a patch that implements the dashing from Ancient Stone Tablets.

[@YokiDokiPanic]

Oh, god that last one... My sister bought this bootleg version of it. And I don't know how it happened exactly, but it happened anyway! And of course it happened to 11 year old me who stole the game from my sister's room when she wasn't home when it was way past my bedtime... Let's say Amnesia ain't got shit on the pants-pissing fear I experienced that night.

Holy Crapola, I've heard of this bloody, dark world/light world mirror and bridge, glitch both by mouth and by written word, but I've never witnessed it demonstrated in game until now. It goes a lot deeper than I ever thought, no wonder everybody I actually talked to in person about it were surprised off their "assets" about me never making an attempt at it or seeing the darn thing done. Though now, I see I've been missing out and all those friends of mine were right, it looks like a whole lot of fun, and I'm going to get right on it as soon as I'm done watching/liking your video and subscribing to your channel. It's good to see there are still Legend of Zelda ALTTP enthusiasts still around like you mate. It IS quite possibly one of the top ten console games of all time, I know it's in my top ten! Thanks for the excellent video, even though I'm about 5 years late in watching it, I hope you're still around. 😊 -Cryo

The dark/light world glitch is the earliest foreshadowing of the twilight realm.

[@Nyarth128255]

I'm happy someone else did that Mirror Reset Curse glitch finally (nickname I found for it) the last one in the video. I researched it so much and did it for ages XD I restored Link to his normal sprite, I got the normal Mirror Shield and normal Gold Sword, I also got about 7.5 hearts too (and once you start collecting heart containers, they fix the hearts problem...kind of. The rainbow armor Link is wearing is literally just that -- it's a buggy suit of armor that wasn't supposed to exist. The hex address, if I remember right, has been changed to a value that it shouldn't get. 00 = Green Mail 01 = Blue Mail 02 = Red Mail 55 = Purple / Ghost Mail (one I found, basically an upgrade of the Red Mail) and this rainbow mail is some other two digits that the game randomly entered when the screen exploded. Now soldiers will steal full hearts from Link, and all the enemies that took 1/4 of a heart (like bees and bats) as well as enemies that took two hearts (like crabs, pikits, green bomb droppers and brown arrow-shooting monsters) will not hurt Link, he just bounces off of them. Enemies that took three hearts (like the bomb cyclops and the blue muncher things) will only take a 1/2 heart (as if getting attacked normally by a soldier or something). If you toss items into the Waterfall of Wishing, you can lose them forever. A couple of them can be regained and / or transformed into Pieces of Heart, and when you get them back, their sprites in the menu will be fixed. If you make the Lamp disappear forever, for example, then the shining light sprite will be frozen in a random location in dark rooms. You won't actually lose the item you threw; you'll lose a dIFFERENT item. Like, throwing a "titan's mitt" sprite (which is really the Fire Rod) actually makes Link lose the lamp, and restores the normal Fire Rod sprite. It also gives him a Piece of Heart, which becomes a Heart Container (this glitch automatically sets Pieces of Heart to 3/4) Anybody want more details, let me know, kuz I'm all typed out XD

[@Anticloent]

The number of glitches is wonderful!!! Three cheers for breaking the game through glitches!

[@Missiletainn]

the Chris hoolahan room room isnt a debug room, it was meant to be put in the game because there was a nintendo of america competition to get your name in the game, Chris won, but this wasn't told to the people developing the game, and the room remained unused and was thought of as a joke

[@iKickBullies]

If the devs are the ones developing the game how do they not know what the room is?

[@MrOmegatronic]

It actually is a debug room, they were a common occurence back then. More specifically, it's a general-purpose exception handler, designed so that leaving it resets the game back to a valid state.

[@theHatted]

First To tell you that you spelt Houlihan wrong

[@brandonwithnell612]

you can also use the theives town glitch to enter the palace of the four swords in the gba version, its much more usefull than the one that completely destroys the game like in the video XD

[@SkyTheLeafeon]

That last glitch from the GBA version has to do with a pretty heavy case of memory corruption. It overwrites a *major* portion of the game's memory - specifically the values that determine how many Rupees, bombs and arrows the player has, as well as their hearts and magic meter, and it pretty much completely obliterates the player's inventory, replacing nearly all of the items with invalid (glitched) ones that don't exist. This also explains why Link looks so weird even after saving and resetting (invalid gear) - and the weirdness with the colors *before* resetting has to do with PALRAM, a portion of the GBA's RAM that handles palette and color info, which also gets completely screwed up.

[@IvanFranco120]

I found an similar glitch in the GBA version of Rayman Raving Rabbids, but dosen't corrupt the save file...

[@Mitsukara]

There's another glitch in the GBA version- the "fake dark world" works differently if you save and use the "Continue from Saved Place" option. You can explore a lot more of the actual dark world early that way, plus you can get an effect where everything remains dark world-ish no matter what you do, except that the light world music plays (and you have to use the mirror twice to get to the light world). Also, if you're in the fake-ish dark world and go to where the frog is south of the village, it'll load the behavior for the blacksmiths from inside the blacksmith house, and they can even temper your sword there. And they use pig guard heads for bodies / hammers.

That poor bastard Chris Houlihan won a Nintendo Power contest to be in a game, but they put him in a room that's completely inaccessible with normal gameplay and no one knew about until the internet. Yeesh, Nintendo is ruthless.

[@frankmyers8062]

[@KiyokaMakibi]

I found it by accident a few times but I never knew how I did it..

[@MrOmegatronic]

I can't remember if that was the only place they were allowed to put his name, or if they just didn't want to put it in but felt obligated to do so.

[@boydstephensmithjr]

I had a pretty consistent setup for getting into it; I'd usually visit it before heading to Kakariko Village the first time, so I'd have enough money for a bottle, but if I got the right drops in escape, I'd delay going in until it would give me enough rupees for the flippers. I always used the hole next to the river to the east of the graveyard. I mostly played it the year after it came out. I didn't actually know the whole story (though I did read the message in the room) until I got on the Internet, though. It did confuse me why I'd only sometimes fall into it.

[@TheChrisPutnam]

Cool video man. I actually found a minor glitch today while playing the SNES version with my son. In the area where you get the blue cane, just run across the spikes allowing it to damage your health. Pick up the big gray block that is at the end of the spikes. If you have a fairy in your bottle, you will come back to life and be carrying the block, but you can move around freely instead of being stuck in once place like you would normally when lifting a giant block.

I'm sad to see you don't explain the technical reasons as to *why* these glitches happen in great detail anymore. (Especially that last one) :( Still a good episode though.

[@AStartShow]

***** Sometimes there's no explanation for a glitch, so I'd rather not make ones up, and in those cases, it's best just to show rather than explain. Also the series covers a lot more ground than it used to, with 10 or more glitches an episode. Son of a glitch used to just focus on one glitch, so it was always heavily explained, but maybe that something to include in future episodes :)

[@Metaknightkirby2]

A+Start I'm really glad to hear that. :D But how can there be literally "no explanation" for a glitch? I mean it must happen for a reason, right?

[@Gmrking91]

***** Having a reason and knowing it are two different things. Without going into the games code I would imagine finding out why the game feels a palate swap or switching link into bunny form is the correct option for any given scenario would be impossible.

[@emhean]

***** its all just fucked up values in the memory. we need to look at the actual game code to understand, or just know how the game is made.

[@DavidWonn]

Many of these glitches, notably the ones involving exploration, "super bunny", and walking on water, were originally documented on my site at davidwonn.kontek.net/snes.html back in the 1990s. You can also find them by plugging in geocities.com/TimesSquare/Maze/7751/snes.html into the Wayback machine at archive.org as well.

[@YvngXero]

The Chris Houlihan room can be accessed simply by speed. Rather than it being a glitch, it's an Easter Egg put in by devs, because Houlihan won a contest put out by Nintendo. I don't think it requires a glitch.

I remember finding this room multiple times just by falling down the same hole that was shown in the video. I don't think there's any special trick for it whatsoever. It's just there like anything else. I don't think 6 yo me was exploiting many bugs for that to have ever been the case.

I APPROVE! I like how you portrayed the glitch I found, however there's actually a span of those rooms where that glitch works. You can do the glitch at the end between the room shown and a room below the right side of the room before the wizard fight near Ganon's tower

[@MaskedMammal]

I can't quite pick out what it is but in your intro, the way you say "glitch" really bugs me. (It always has but I just felt like bringing it up for once) It sounds muffled, like that one word was recorded in a different mic... possibly by a completely different person. And it still sounds more like "grinch" or "gunch" to me than glitch. Can it be... a glitch in your intro?

[@AStartShow]

Bitcoon That's because it's not me saying it, it's a spoken word program saying it with some distortion, because it's intentionally supposed to sound glitchy, because the series is called 'Son Of A Glitch'. So yeah…

[@MaskedMammal]

A+Start I've just always wondered why that sounds so strange, since the 'glitchiness' of that bit isn't quite clear. It just sounded like a bad recording. Glad to have that cleared up though~

[@koopakape]

Yeah i agree actually. I love these vids but the intro is tbh pretty corny and off. It'd be better if it was just a 'glitchy' version of your own voice, like as simple as you saying the whole sentence "Son of a glitch!" and simply editting the "glitch" to be all chunked up like a robot having an error or whatever, y'know? The random smooth girl-bot voice totally doesn't work lol.

[@Sauraen]

hip indeed Agreed. I love the series and this doesn't really take away from it, but I might recommend a bitcrushing or fuzz/distortion effect rather than whatever you used there.

[@MaskedMammal]

Sauraen I'd definitely go for something like that. I mean, it's not much of an issue regardless, but I guess I'm not the only one who couldn't even tell what that was supposed to be. Just recording the whole line and then bitcrushing+distorting the last word would make it a lot more clear. Intros aren't a big deal, but they are always the first impression someone gets of your video series and the first thing they see in each new video. Having a good intro helps reinforce the amount of effort that goes into all other aspects of these videos.

[@MegaLukas]

wtf? lol

[@BaileyIDK]

lol ?ftw

[@RoastedMarshmelon]

Very interesting glitches and video! I learned of the Chris Houlihan room when I was young, in an issue of Nintendo Power. Houlihan won a contest which gave him a room with his name inside the game. You can access it as soon as you have the Pegasus boots by running from either the church, or from Kakariko north entrance as fast as you can, and dropping into the Castle basement. If you were quick enough you fall in there. I've heard it also works by falling inside a specific hole in Ganon's tower. So, I wonder how it relates to what you said, that it can be caused by messing up the coordinates... I hadn't heard or seen that before. I know of another weird glitch inside the snes version. It's called *"The ghost of Misery Mire"*. I remember it had to do with an invisible enemy that doesn't actually have a sprite and acts in a different behavior than anything else in the game!! You can come in contact and be hurt by it, sometimes, when you walk in the Misery Mire, on one specific screen. You should look it up! I read that a long time ago on the web, and there was research done on it with "Hyrule Magic", with many pictures included. Really special.

Watch this high as hell with no volume. Complete and utter mind blow.

[@ArcadeGames]

I love this channel, it takes a lot of dedication to find all these glitches.

[@DragonSmithEve]

THIS IS SO COOL A LINK TO THE PAST IS MY FAVORITE

[@Exiblade7]

Great video man. Got to see some messed up glitches that I didn't know that I is in the game. I'm going to try them out soon.

[@mattalevine]

I found a fairly small glitch by myself. I think I've only gotten it to work in the WiiWare version of the game (I haven't tried in other versions). The good thing is, it doesn't take long to attempt. Right at the beginning of the game, I got the soldiers directly south of Link's house in the rain to cycle through every single line of dialogue in the game somehow. I think it had to do with the speed at which I got to them. I believe I exited Link's house and grabbed the lantern in near the minimum amount of time possible, and made a beeline for the soldiers. After you finish going through their default cycle of 4 or so sentences, they continued to say every line of dialogue and every line of text from every sign. I don't believe the lines of dialogue that normally trigger the X's popping up on the map had the same effect. If you cycle through every line of dialogue, the loop will reset and you only get the 4 sentences the soldiers are supposed to say. Kinda cool.

yooooooooooooooo

In the GBA version, the exploration glitch allows you to enter the Four-Sword dungeon without completing the Four-Swords game requirement and even defeat all the bosses. It's perfect if you wish to beat the dungeon on emulators where playing the Four Swords half of the game is impossible. However dying or leaving in the dungeon forces you to redo the whole glitch. As it loads the npc blocking the entrance in the first room.

[@LucasBent]

Your glitch series is the best! I will suscribe! :)

[@beatrix1120]

If your playing on an emulator or using some third party controllers; if you press more than one direction at once link will moonwalk, tern invisible, start swimming on land or do other weird sprite things. This also works on most gameboy/gameboy advanced Zelda games

[@cactuscock]

Thx so much for making this. Lttp is my favorite Zelda!!

[@orbostghoul8792]

We could be best friends through that single reason

[@timsieverding6725]

I have tried the glitch and i finished the game less then 5 minutes. Thank you for that. Btw this is a good channel. Keep doing.

[@bananasundae7224]

Found the Chris Houlihan room accidentally, felt like such a genius. Favourite memory with this masterpiece

[@IvanFranco120]

LOL. 😅

[@ThrowbackGaming1]

I can't believe how much your channel has grown! Just 6 months ago you were at around 4k, congratulations man!

[@Andrew_G4CH]

Something else that can be done with Fake Flippers, if you have the moon pearl, go through the water portal below the fairy island, and make your way to the waterfall fairy. Swim back out then go right back in. You will be able to do the item exchanges. When you walk back out, you will have the ability to walk on water as long as you do not touch land. It will stop working when you walk on land. (Granted most people already have flippers by the time they have the moon pearl so this trick may only be super useful for those who play Link to the Past Randomizer and most of those players already know this glitch.)

[@sosoishero]

Thanks A+Start! One of the best games ever have the best glitches ever: Beating the game in 3 minutes.

[@B3nnettB]

I went from a minecraft video to this. Good job +A+Start

[@Tinotoin]

Another cracking episode! I'm really enjoying this series :)

[@kevinyoloswagscope9681]

2good4me have been searching for something like this for years, i love the series :)

[@bofje]

Oh wow, you actually showed a lot of glitches I didn't even know about! Cool stuff man!

[@myleshowell3501]

That last one cracked me up WAY to much then it should have!

[@chillydeathdude7610]

fun fact: the glitched out enemies after beating the game with the glitch shows are actually the light world enemies before unlocking the dark world loading IN the dark world map causing them to look scrambled and even appear in walls. this also explains why it looks like you start the game on damage. the game considers the electrical barrier as an enemy and loads it up along with the other foes. if you load up the glitched dark world with the moon pearl you can even fight back against the glitched foes. just be careful what you do because i haven't tested this place with the moon pearl.

[@EtheRenard]

There is also an "exploration glitch" in Minish Cap! ^^ I hope you'll make a video about this game, one day! ^-^

[@ZeldaDomination]

You're awesome, and deserve more subscribers. Speaking of which, just subbed :D

[@RagnarokiaNG]

I love it when games have a light and dark world that can be glitched together in whatever ways like this one does a lot, loading the incorrect graphics or enemy placements for the light world as it's loafing the dark world etc. It makes me wonder if such glitches exist in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes....that would be interesting.

[@chrisneary8538]

in the original SNES version, moonwalk up stairs or through certain doors in hyrule castle will trigger the exploration glitch, but you need ether an aftermarket controller or an emulated version of the game

[@blainefrickenchapman]

Ah the things I learned from the ALTTP Randomizer community. Also the Houlihan can be done in the graveyard and the fairy fall just to the east of the graveyard super easily.

[@c4os79]

this video is awesone !! thank you for sharing it and keep going

[@jayc5413]

What a super cool and interesting video. beat the game in 3 minutes? i would have never guessed that. awesome glitches.

[@shinsetsusha]

There is another glitch that also leaves Link with his hands up: Freeze an enemy and pick it up, but before doing so throw the magic boomerang in an opposite direction so that when the boomerang returns it will hit the enemy and cause it to fall off your hands, but your arms will remain raised.

[@Kyun9432]

That was so entertaining to watch and an epic video. Thanks!

[@SuperSensei]

Glad to see another Link to the Past video!

[@PuzzlePlaysMC]

I think there is a glitch (Probably in another Zelda Game) Where you go into a store, pick up what you want to get. you notice that the person standing at the counter (Storekeeper) Usually faces at you. If you quickly move around, you can exit the store WITH THE ITEM. The dialogue bar says something like "You just stole something. Feeling guilty?". When you actually feel guilty and go back in (Or you can be a BOSS and use it) to return it, The storekeeper stands at the middle of the store, talks to you about what you did, then SHOOTS YOU WITH A LASER BEAM!!! This is probably an Easter egg, and note that It might be in another game. :)

[@cadegaming6306]

You missed a glitch in the gba version, just found it today! In a dungeon if you walk backwards into a door you will start going through walls, bassicly the same thing the exploration glitch but can't make you finish the game quickly

[@snackasmversion2752]

Great vid guys! I remember the exploration glitch! It's fun not playing by the rules, +1 sub :)

[@blazingcadet104]

in the GBA version, do the same set up for the thieves guild glitch, but in one of the wider areas, go left to the other side, then keep going up,(Make sure you have beaten the first 3 dungeons in the dark world, but not more!)and then, you can get to ganon's tower early , and get red armor early. Do that in the dark world jumping off near the digging minigame, you can glitch the camera and if link is obscured going down, he will forever warp down

[@miniatureface]

seriously, VERY nice job with these videos!

[@nottuska1732]

Jesus: I can walk on water. Chuck Norris: I can swim on land. Link: Ladies, please.

[@Tdrummer888]

It must be awesome knowing that within a year, this channel will have over 100k subs

[@Draezeth]

The swim on land glitch can be done by pegasus-dashing up to the water's edge too, without having to step into the water at the last second. I believe it only can be done from the right side.

[@Lipidosos]

10:16 you literally made me spit the coffe I am drinking!

[@amylee9092]

Love how Nintendo referenced Lord of the Rings (9:05) 🤣

[@zoltier]

You deserve more subscribers. There so much underrated KZbinrs who don't have much subs.

[@zoltier]

Dang, forgot to put are after there!
