This was really helpful! Just yesterday I was able to completely skip work, using Storage. Clipped right through the walls and leafed over to the loading zone for the end of my shift. Thanks!

[@wildingorchid]

+Alexx1083 wow this comment is hilarious! XD

+Alexx1083 You little genius!  Made my day :D

[@MarioFan587YT]

Okay, that one was good.

[@supershinystar5515]

Alexx1083 genius!!! Why didnt i think of that!!

[@AStartShow]

Thank you guys for your patience on this one. This concludes my most ambitious episodes to date, and as such they took a while to finish. Your support means the world to me and I wanted this to be as perfect as it could be. Hopefully now, the show can return to its weekly schedule, more episodes are already planned for other games, but I won't reveal what games they are till they're ready to go. I have taken into consideration all the suggestions that you guys give me on games you want to see, and I will hopefully cover all the major ones people request daily. Anyway, thank you for supporting the channel and for over 65, 000 subscribers. I hope you enjoy this episode, it really pushed myself on this one and I hope it shows. Andy

[@kylecampbell565]

Thank you so much for uploading this i was starting to get board!

[@AStartShow]

***** It's been up 5 minutes haha, let it process!

[@ezriahblack8770]

I fine with waiting a while as long as you keep up the good work.

[@kylecampbell565]

Also does the helmerok skip also skip the heart container?

[@holy_lettuce]

It showed I'd been waiting awhile and it was the best it could be this is the best glitch channel I know of!!

[@mickkelley3776]

The reason storage turns the world black when you open a chest without storing anything else, such as dialogue, is because when you open a chest the brightness of all the textures except for those which change brightness on their own (such as torches, the reflections off the mirror shield, Link's eyes and fire) gets set to zero by default, and is adjusted as the chest opening cutscene plays. It's easiest to see this when you open a chest with an important item inside, such as the skull hammer that Andy skipped in the video.

[@CodyRockLee13]

I'm so glad I discovered this channel and this series. After watching the Wind Waker HD SoaG video, I instantly subscribed and went back to watch all the previous videos in the series. You've done a great job and I look forward to what game you break next. Thanks and keep it up, man!

[@AStartShow]

CodyRockLee13 thank you, up next is another great game but not as big a project as these last two episodes :)

[@sanicpl1499]

A+Start man i love you *YA KNO NO HOMO 100%* and its because of all this funny gitches! i love it!

[@hardkvass5454]

Hey Jecht, we're still waiting for a Dissidia episode

[@AbbiXIII]

These glitches is why i love Wind Waker speedruns so much

[@bythewayisay]

You should do a Sonic Boom episode. There would be a looooooot of glitches. xD

[@smazelsp6423]

It would be an hour

[@ragedplague6128]

True

[@waltmyman]

Sonic Boom? Meh, Sonic g l i t c h B O O M !

[@rychu6101]

That last glitch is actually pretty common among Zelda games. I have done it so many times in Skyward Sword. Once, I did the glitch in SS, and I had the practice sword from the beginning of the game. Only thing was, it could do Skyward Strikes! The next time I tried it, I just got the Goddess Sword. It's in Twilight Princess too. Also, this is THE BEST glitch tutorial series I have found yet. It's not dry and boring, it thoroughly explains the glitches, and also, you can ask questions and A+Start will actually respond. Thank you, A+Start, for being a good KZbinr. :)

[@Xanman22512]

See, this is what I love about this channel! Any other KZbinr would've just shown you the effect of the glitch with minimal explanation, but he takes the time to slow it down, add extra info, and even give some simple glitches after all of the complicated ones to keep the viewer interested. A+Start, you are the best!

[@l-boi8173]

One can only ponder how much of your time you used up to make this happen. Much appreciated.

[@AStartShow]

Leonard Ababio I've spent that past 8 weeks playing WWHD and WW, so a long time haha

[@jrw630]

2 qmonths

[@xX_Thaddeus_Xx]

Johnathan Winters Jr See that's not a misspelling, it took him two Quantum Months, where he both was and wasn't working on this episode.

[@jrw630]

I meant months

[@cubedude8690]

@@jrw630 just edit your comment..

[@DuskArgentum]

Great video! A lot of people have covered Zombie Hovering, but no one I've watched has covered the massive amount of Storage glitches! How about Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald or Colloseum/XD Gale of Darkness to celebrate the release of ORAS?

[@gobbitybobbity]

I said it last video and ill say it again, VERY well made episode! Very clear explanation of the glitches and great on screen displays. As a wind waker speedrunner, i am super impressed with this video. Keep up the good work, man.

[@AStartShow]

GobbityBobbity thank you, I appreciate that dude :)

[@Cluskerino]

You are by far the best youtuber for glitches because you do so many! I thank you sir for putting so much effort into your videos!

[@AStartShow]

Daniel Cluskey thank you for watching :)

[@cvnixaur3737]

16:43 They're going to platform nine and three quarters...duh...

[@razielblack4739]

i would love to see more back in time glitches! i love how you explain how glitches work

[@retrogamer6986]

Hey , thanks A+Start for making this video . It helped me skip nearly a quarter of the game which is good because I want to complete this game and prove to my friends that I can complete the game in under 48 hours. Much appreciated . Also great work on the HD version XD

[@ZedEdge]

Great job putting these things together, Andy. Top-notch quality.

[@Engineer12798]

I believe that their is certain situations in which you can perform a zombie hover and survive without the tingle tuner by collecting a heart. From what I remember this is used in one of the ways to skip the Helmroc King fight.

[@saucedo121]

I just began watching these series and MAN!!! freaking awesome!!! thanks for all your effort!!!

[@MCMelonslice]

I really like the effort you're putting in making this series. Great job from my side. Can't wait to see the next episode :D

[@AStartShow]

***** Thanks dude, I really appreciate that :)

[@Zakuzu]

I love your Son Of A Glitch series. You make it so that even if I didn't know the game, I'd still watch it. It's that good ;P keep it up!

[@PlantedWave5190]

Can you make a video of glitches for Super Mario Sunshine?

[@OblivionWalkerVerified]

+DarthSoi fuck syckoh. I want Andy. I can't stand the American accent.

[@justarandomnerd9889]

Yes plz do this I've been trying to find some glitches in that game forever!

[@wimpywater]

I think Space Chicken made 3 videos on it

[@FlatHeadScrewDriver-d6g]

in the earth temple when flying over the fog if you have the chest storage you can get into a corner and the effect from the fog will go away, you can then use a bomb and it will knock you on to the ledge, but this is only if you mess up and you won't have to save warp

[@eerdag96]

Dude your videos are awesome! Youre doing an excellent Job : ) You really deserve more subscribers!

[@AStartShow]

SSJ Kyuubi thank you :)

[@CJCWIS]

I got sick of the word 'storage' after this video...

[@holy_lettuce]

I'm gonna try these on my GameCube I've tried almost every glitch on the games I have that was uploaded to this Channel yet help out a lot hahaha

[@blazeruby767]

That soup glitch really reminds me of the Pokémon Colosseum Master Ball glitch.

[@buildinasentry1046]

This is a very good video, I can tell you put a lot of effort and time into it and it has paid off. I'm new to you're videos but I'm enjoying them very much. Thanks for the information :)

[@joelgoldson1542]

This series is so awesome I had to watch it twice!

[@TheCp022]

Love the series, how long did you practice for all these glitches O.o I tried to learn the super swim, it took me like 5 hours practice! Keep up the good work

[@Noncod]

I enjoy this series taking time and analyzing them takes time so if you.upload late you might do a huge video and so far i own all tge games you've talked about but keep up the series

[@matthewross810]

The fairies going into the bottle: No, I got caught by some random kid... AGAIN!

[@gabrielletchford3793]

On LEGO Marvel Superheros go to the statue of Liberty as Thor , go under the dock and fly user it, get some space for speed and then fly forward. As soon as you get though stop flying and fall down. If you want to go out of bounds and explore the background fall for about 1 minute and you can go out of bounds, some weird things happen. You can also use it to go places that are lock, just fly there during the map and fly up at the exact spot and boom you got it

[@KitsonHeart]

coming back to this episode hearing glitch without the special effects was somewhat unsettling xD

[@purplwithnoe]

Holy macaroni, I didn't expect this to come right now.

[@tart6296]

If you go on the couch perfectly to the left pause and resume you will clip into the couch then pick up the tv remote hold a bomb throw then side hop to the right fly to this pixel get the tv remote to move a pixel to the right and then pause then the bomb will push you into the cutscene to skip school

[@pokono3764]

[@Kafei2006]

Did you use a second gamecube with gameboy player to record what's displayed off the Tingle Tuner on the GBA screen :P?

[@TepidBlack]

You've basically given a low-level speedrun tutorial for the game lmao

[@RayAkuma]

Why does the king of red lions text has such an great impact of games data?

[@solidlink97]

Love this video!!!😃

[@lynnenew]

Keep it going! this is awesome!

[@cozycozes7137]

XD I LOVE the zombie trick with link flying up with pressing b and a rapidly. But, while I do that, do I have to hold L too? My bro did this trick and he flew all over to the dragon on dragon roost xD

How did he get to Northern Triangle Island before Forbidden Woods? I was trying to use a super swim from Windfall, but I don't know.

[@oopdoop44]

Hey, what happens if you super swim into a Big Octo area or a Cyclos cyclone? Like, a cutscene that starts a battle? For instance, if you super swim to Seven Star Isles and run into a Big Octo spawn area?

[@WheremyPoptart]

Woot part two

[@Johnakers101]

Remember guys, if they remake a game, that means they're porting it and updating it, not making the entire game again. Same game means same glitches :D

[@thesaucypickle9866]

thats not the optimal place to do a zombie hover in dragon roost cavern but I see what you're saying

[@not_so_prohenis4881]

15:00 i acually new about this one i figured it out randomly.

[@ButWhyWasTaken]

Great video! And highly entertaining. Does someone have a link to a good speedrun making use of these techniques?

[@ViviBlue-db2br]

Wait I have a question about chest storage after doing it do you still get the item just no cutscenes?

[@alexmagneispokkenchannel7332]

I will never forget the glitch I pulled off in this game. Okay so I was using action replay (does it count?) and I had the superswim code activated (considering superswim is a glitch within the game itself? Yeah anyone can pull this off) and it was during the triforce quest. So when you normally enter the circle of light King of Red Lions tells you to get the rest of the triforce pieces right? Well, I made King of Red Lions wait at the very opposite end of the Great Sea, and superswam over to the ring of light. When I got there, the camera snapped to King of Red Lions and he said his thing, but then the camera SPED through EVERY PART of the Great Sea between King of Red Lions and Link, it was a real sight to behold! I wish someone would recreate that glitch and post it, I found it absolutely hilarious back in the day XD

[@Dean444ful]

+Alex Magnei hahah that's awesome. Wish I could see that xD

[@SincradTB]

Alex Magnei's Pokken Channel glitches out replies

[@creeperfacekao]

When they first announced the fast sail for Wind Waker HD they said they planned it for the original but it wouldn't have been possible, as the increased speed would keep the ocean from loading and Link would just fall into an abyss. So then explain why the Super Swim, the fastest movement in both games combined, doesn't do that? Nintendo be lyin'.

[@warv6552]

CreeperFaceKao Lazy asses.

[@arielcerecer142]

CreeperFaceKao Yeah, you are right. But maybe it would drop the fps. Which is a very well known problem that Wind Waker has. The frame drops. Idk

[@Icalasari]

Considering people hacked the game to add a Swift Sail to the Gamecube version... Yeah, they be lying

[@Dean444ful]

"I know, I've lost it. Hear me out" hahahah aahh too good.

[@therealstarMoses]

21:10 WOAH LINK. THIS ISNT SUPER MARIO 64, YOU CANT WALLJUMP.

[@roshandarucker3417]

moses mckeon I KNOW RIGHT!? LIKE IF U THINK LINK SHOULDN'T​ WALL JUMP.

[@name2865-n2y]

Wall jumping is epic, so I disliked your comment that you begged for likes

[@arachnidz7750]

Darth Rothschild superswim = BLJ (backwards long jump)

[@demjanickjoe]

Thank you! I appreciate your thoroughness. That is a trait that too many KZbinrs are forgetting the more that they grow and lose touch with their fan base and start looking at the cash flow.

[@AStartShow]

Joseph Demjanick it's you guys who put me here, least I can do is talk to you :)

[@PapayaJordane]

Just so you know, you can store getting the Deku Leaf, and if you leave the area and come back in, you get the leaf, but the leaf is still there. If you get the leaf again, your magic bar will increase to the maximum amount. Wind Waker is a fascinating game to glitch around with. :)

[@jean-simonplourde9446]

Where do you get storage?

[@PapayaJordane]

Jean-simon Plourde It's a bit tricky. Spam taking out the wind waker and putting it away while walking off the ledge right outside the potion room. You want to walk off right where the ledge creates a "v" shape. You also have to time canceling it just right.

[@NeonKatt13]

My brain hurts just trying to understand how much time he put into this video…This is amazing!

[@Feurns]

Just fantastic, maybe not 100k as I was a bit ambitious but, These video's are just so great.

[@AStartShow]

CHAINSWING91 thank you :)

[@OblivionWalkerVerified]

maybe you could have talked about the chest that can crash the game by jumpslashing on top of it.

[@AStartShow]

Oblivion Walker this is news to me….?

[@OblivionWalkerVerified]

When you go into the evil ghost ship (where you have to get the triforce chart and you hear that demented scream after opening the chest) if you walk upto it and jumpslash any where onto it. The game will crash. I think it is due to the chest not having a defined top area. Also grabbing storage on your home island and talking to someone who crouches and then storing the text the next person you will talk to will crash the game because they did not have a crouching action. Please make a mini episode showing this ;)

[@OblivionWalkerVerified]

wait so you have never heard of this? please may i link it too you in a PM?

[@OblivionWalkerVerified]

here you go /watch?v=Cl5WVW1bksQ had to take out the dot come because of youtubes auto spam andy put in place to avoid scams

[@OblivionWalkerVerified]

www.jaytheham.com/zcw/Wind_Waker_Glitches_-_Ghost_Ship_Chest_Crash

[@WillieManga]

A very simple one, but if you accidentally leap-slash the chest in the phantom ship, I imagine the great sea will be frozen in time by the cursed energy hidden within that chest... because the game will crash.

[@Nuttybuddyssssssssss]

Can’t believe my childhood was 8 years ago

[@jtbirdACC]

The funny thing is, the "endless dropping" mentioned at 7:48 isn't actually infinite. It stops around 30 minutes in and the cutscene finishes, but then you appear at the ocean floor softlocked. There's a video of this somewhere on "formerly, CosmoSpeedrun's" channel if you're willing to sit through 30 minutes of weird, unstopping falling and camera derping.

[@bluebeast1000]

who spends all the time to figure all this out? in the time it took people to find all these little glitches they could of prolly beaten the game a few times. i mean its cool but damn thats alot of work

[@Demindh]

+bluebeast1000 the people who find these glitches often have played the games hundreds of times already. most of these glitches come from the speedrunning community. check them out if you are interested (just do a google search)

[@TheAnimePlaceX]

Speedrunners. Their goal isn't to beat the story, it's to finish the game as fast as possible. They spend months trying to find new ways to beat it faster.

[@bluebeast1000]

i dont get how you can be that driven just to beat a game quick

[@TheAnimePlaceX]

+bluebeast1000 There are huge communities for it. Plenty of people do it for a living.

[@peterkristo4448]

Thank you, Andy. We all really think great of you. You're awesome

[@AStartShow]

Peter Kristo Thanlks you, I really appreciate that, you guys are awesome :)

[@TheDelStation]

HOW THE F**K DO PEOPLE FIGURE THIS STUFF OUT?!!

[@TheEgg185]

I was just about to post this. I don't get it. This is all over my head and I will never use this. I enjoy playing games they were meant to be played.

[@suckatash2484]

TheEgg185 Its useful in speedruns

[@jean-simonplourde9446]

Storage, I don't know. But other glitches make sense. For example, roll climping in the HD version.

[@TheDelStation]

Ok, your right. But just HOW? Are they just familiar with the games coding enough to know whats what?

[@jean-simonplourde9446]

Maybe, or someone could have discovered it by accident. There are a lot of people playing this game, maybe by luck, or if someone was messing with the controller... But looking into the game's files to find a mistake makes more sense. Or maybe they just know the mechanics very well. For example, in twilight princss, there's a glitch to get the master sword early. Watch an example and then read this: Maybe that they know when wolflink does midna's attack, the spinning action the neck of the beast. The neck is, I think the point where Link smashes when performing the attack. But, the beast prepares his attack, lifting his own arm (I don't know how to say that in english). So, the neck goes up too. so, wolflink targets the neck and then goes up, and then we just have to do the jump attack to get more distance and get on the ledge. Maybe people who have time to waste try things like that! I tried something like that for a minute and... I thought I had other things to do in my life.
