Call it a humble brag or whatever, it still makes me happy knowing that I was the person who donated $5 asking him about the barrier skip, and then this happened afterwards. Really takes me back to a better time in my life. I miss this stuff :/
I'd prolly get world record and then share it so that I could have world records for at least 1 day. Having a world record in anything would be amazing, even for 1 day.
Windwaker Development meeting Shigeru Miyamoto: How's the Hyrule Castle Area coming? Eiji Aonuma: Going great. We(dev team) just put in the barrier you wanted It goes super high above and below the castle. No one will get through it! Shigeru Miyamoto: Great! Now put an invisible wall behind it. Aonuma: But why Miyamoto-san? The barrier knocks you back infi- Miyamoto: (glares) are you questioning my judgment? Aonuma: No, Miyamoto-san we will put that invisible wall in there right away! Miyamoto: Excellent! While you are at it remove those Hyrule Castle doors, the monsters destroyed them in Hyrule's invasion, it makes no sense to have them there.
the devs must have noticed how much you can skip in ocarina of time, so when they came up with wind waker, they probably said "fuck this, those glitch abusers will not pass this barrier". it wouldnt surprise me if they put up another barrier beyond the first ones.
FailVideosThatFail even without wrong warping, you can still skip a fair bit, i just watched cosmo's MST run and Marco Fernandez i believe it was 2011 or 2012, somewhere around there
Marco Fernandez Skips were thought of even during the design of OOT. For example in the Gerudu fortress if you're caught by the guards and you don't have the hookshot, you won't be thrown in the jail, you will be thrown in the river or somewhere near it.
This is one of the coolest videos I've seen. This community gets together and tries to break through this wall that I myself always believed could be passed when I used to play. Maybe one day a method will be found. Just look at the OoT skip that takes you from Gohma to Ganon; that wasn't found for years and years after the game was made. One day...
***** more like they knew every flaw in their software and prevented sequence breaks, at least major ones. "we know about the knockback cancel glitch, so lets put an invisible wall behind it," "we know about the zombie hover, so lets put a cap on this place," "we know about the storing door glitch, so no doors anywhere in this area." plus one to nintendo programmers
not really. they finally got it and it's implemented in any% speedruns these days. sad thing cosmo isn't here to go along with is. his career died with his "transistion" he completely stopped doing wha people liked hi mfor and now all he does is complain.
+Angry Norwegian Man As of right now, the compliments to Nintendo developers of the original release still stand because the glitch through the barrier only works on their HD release, not the original :)
I remember that you do the HD with the Grappling Hook or some way it slides. Unless I look it up, I don't know to remember the SD way was found after this to skip the barrier for what it was over the hard Fairy hover heal after Zombie without having the Hookshot to finish the game but it looked hard
Oh, so, that was the trick. I could always look up what ways since Linkus 7 I saw helped and first discovered a way after the new version came out but I finished SD version 100% just not HD since my past for what I played. I wasn't one for the glitches and skips over realizing to watch others though that is. I was TTYD successful once with Miss Mouse but it was hard for the Flavio game but it was so funny 😆 though.
I wish Narcissa was as interesting and passionate about gaming as Cosmo was. Look at the smile as he is explaining it. That just doesn't happen anymore.
Does Forest Water expiring grant the knockback invincibility? If it did, then possibly you could die, start a zombie hover, get knocked back by the barrier in mid air, and when you get back up and resume your zombie hover, have the Forest Water expire on the same frame as the invincibility frames end, granting the knockback invincibility, then zombie hover underneath the physical wall, through the infinite knockback wall, and into the loading zone for Ganon's castle. Do we think this could work?
It would require insane frame-perfect timing. Definitely not consistently RTA viable without save-resets, but might work. Whoever would be the first to do it RTA would easily get WR, even if everything else in their run was sub-par.
Wind Waker HD can skip the barrier, however due to HD having one unique glitch, we can clip past the barrier. If we could gain 5 more units of speed in SD, we could clip through the barrier.
Curtis Lynch A few things. Cosmo came out as transgender and she now identifies as female with the name Narcissa. She also has had really bad hand issues that have prevented her both from speedrunning and playing smash. Now she mainly has been working on her art because that doesn't aggravate her hand issues.
What if you went on the exact opposite side of the cylinder (away from Ganon's tower) somehow? So that the knock back is hitting you towards Ganon's tower when you leave the barrier on the other side, and then somehow got that knock back to send you flying further so much so that you can launch yourself out of the top of the barrier. What you'd be able to do after that God only knows but usually the trend I see with the really hard stuff like this is that the speed runner usually figures out a way to use the world's physics against itself. What if the answer to this one is simply extremely counter intuitive and we're all looking at the challenge from the opposite angle?
I bet if the enemies past the barrier were loaded, it would conserve memory for the barrier. I mean that collosal barrier must need lots of memory to be loaded. That's why they thought of removing the enemies when the barrier is still supposed to be there. Maybe if there was some way to make the area have too many things loaded, maybe the additional invisible wall wouldn't be there. Like kinda similar to what Cosmo showed with the stacking lasers in OoT Ganon's Castle. That'd be a cool way to Barrier Skip, but I doubt something like that exists in Wind Waker anyway
Forest water is just a different way of making storage possible. You still need a cutscene mode that helps you get past the barrier (like a door cutscene, of which none are in Hyrule)
What about using storage or other glitches at forsaken fortress in order to manipulate the loading zone that leads straight into Ganon's Castle to be used? It's only activated from the inside of the castle but if there's anyone that can find a way around that it's gotta be you guys.
I agree. Trying to find a way to activate the Forsaken Fortress/Ganon's Tower portal from the outside might be the place to focus efforts at this point.
Okay, I may have a piece of useful information here. On WWHD at least, Idk about the GC Version, using the WWHD Helmaroc Skip, done improperly, you can clip the wall and fly in a certain part without void warping. My question is, is this the loading zone for Forsaken Fortress 1 or 2 that "leads straight into Ganon's Castle"?
Will Kamins it would be past fortress 2, since in a normal gameplay you unlock this passage before getting the light arrows in ganon's castle. So I don't know if it's even possible to go through that loading zone from the outside of the castle. I think if it's possible, it would only be done in the gamecube version since there are many more glitches to be exploited. The best bet would be during forsaken fortress 2 since you can use the hammer's chest to exploit the storage glitch. although, it's just an idea thrown out there, I'm doubtful it could work.
I've thought of something, but it might be TAS only. You could get on the ledge, damage yourself with bombs to a quarter of a heart, set down two bombs, have one launch you to the barrier, then get the glitch to stop knockbacks and do a wind waker dive with the bomb on the same frame. Then you could get under the invisible wall and void zone and zombie hover into the loading zone of Ganon's Tower.
A lot of people seem to misunderstand what forest water storage is. Think about it this way: Storage is actually a two step glitch. Step one is desyncing your cutscene state integer (which tells the game how many layers of cutscene you're in) by doing two cutscene changes on the same frame. The first way is forest water storage - you enter wind waker cutscene at the same time forest water runs out. The second way is dry storage - you exit wind waker cutscene at the same time you land. -cont-
Could you perhaps complete the Wind Temple early to trick the game into thinking that you have an enhanced master sword? Of course you'd need to also get the ToC.
What amazes me the most is the fact that a single door combined with storage would've broken this wall. The devs for once did an incredibly good seal-off which can't even be broken by a glitch like zombie hover and what not, but a freaking door would've been enough xD
precisely, for instance link could do an item switch glitch replacing the ocarina with a bottle while frame glitching the sword to be replaced with a door for door storage enabling link to walk on through
Whoever the guy was that they picked up after Ocarina and Majora but before Wind Waker that came up with the idea of insanely redundant sequence barriers was a genius.
There are two ways: 1) pull the wind waker on the same frame dry storage expires (obsolete, forest water storage) 2) stow the wind waker on the same frame you land from a wind waker dive (dry storage)
Even if the barrier could be skipped, there would be two possible roadblocks. During the final fight with Ganon, you need to use the Mirror Shield during the second phase, but you don't have it at this point if you were to skip the barrier, and the game might not think you have the Mirror Shield. There's also the fact that you use the True Master Sword during the final fight, not the Hero's Sword you use before getting it, and the game might not register as you having the Master Sword, both for when Ganon knocks it out of Link's hand during the cutscene, and during the actual fight. If both of these were true, it would be impossible to kill Ganon. Another possible wall would be if the game still didn't let you access the last part of the game because you don't have the Triforce, something along the lines of the game checking to see that you have it before letting you move on.
The game actually gives you Mirror Shield when you enter the loading zone after the Puppet Ganon fight (or you do Puppet Ganon skip, doesn't matter), which is why Mirror Shield isn't skipped in Low%. I'm pretty sure it gives you the true Master Sword aswell, but I'm not sure on that. The Triforce is not a thing that matters. The Triforce is only important for entering Hyrule for the 3rd time.
The game gives you the fully charge Master Sword and the Mirror Shield when you enter the Puppet Ganon from Hyrule 2 or 3. If you enter the Puppet Ganon fight from the first visit to Hyrule, the game will crash.
Maybe instead of clipping the barrier, you should try to trick the game into thinking your Master Sword is maxed out. Do you think that may be possible?
RandomTalkingGamer yeah but what DarkLink's saying is if it were possible to make the game think you have an upgraded master sword when you dont, you could just break the barrier with it (and by proxy break the invisible wall)
NobodyEvenReadsNames It's not the Master Sword that the game keeps track of with breaking the barrier, it's the triforce. It's not possible to break it without all 8 shards.Now, if you could somehow juke THAT out, we may be able to get somewhere...
Isaac Platt A guy a year ago received the triforce and master sword early(he skipped tower of the gods and then went to forsaken fortress 2) since he never drew the real master sword he could not progress further in the game. The game does keep track of the master sword. we need either wrong warp or find a way to skip earth temple and beat wind temple without Makar. then the game MIGHT think you have a full master sword.
Both of these step ones - dry storage and forest water storage - have the same effect, which is to set your 'cutscene state integer' to -1. Now when you enter a cutscene, it is incremented by one to 0 - and the game immediately thinks you should not be in any cutscene, so it does all the hard work of preparing for the cutscene (changing Link's hitbox, wind waker mode camera, fading to black or white, etc) and then decides NOT to start the cutscene at all. Forest water storage offers nothing new.
Yeah. Use text storage on the Tingle Tuner, then go through a door (it has to be a door that you have to use to open). Two things could happen: The game might try and load the data for the Tingle Tuner as soon as you store the text, which means you might be able to run around while it's loading. Or, if it only loads once you play the stored text (by using a door or talking to someone for example), you could load it while opening a door which would possibly make it work with the next room.
+Marth of Altea (The_D0ct0r) Somebody found a glitch where, by abusing how objects in the game are loaded and unloaded, it's theoretically possible to have the barrier simply not load. Research is still being done, as it's not feasible to use the glitch yet for barrier skip, but the glitch is only a few weeks old.
That was a TAS. He had to modify the game to not only have a door ina location where a door shouldn't exist, but he also had to turn on Wireframes to see what he was doing, neither of which are possible in cosmo's standard speedruns. But yea, he did it.
I'm surprised that the barrier goes all the way around like that. Plot wise it makes sense cosmetically. You can SEE it going all the way around, but I always just assumed it was all just background design. Yet it has collision properties all the way around?
If you have a cylinder in your game engine, you just stick a collider component on it. Done. What you're failing to realise is - it's infinitely MORE work to make it that only one little section of your cylinder would repel you. You'd have to model a chunk of the cylinder separately, sort out the UVs, place that down invisibly with a collider on it perfectly on top of your other cylinder which is there for graphics, and then at the end of it all you'd end up with a collider which is massively less efficient. As for the barrier behind it, they probably added that because they were worried the first barrier might glitch out and push you forwards, so if you hit a straight collider you still wouldn't be able to get through.
In the English version, you have to press B and hit the barrier with your sword. In the Japanese version, the cutscene happens automatically once you get close enough to the barrier. By timing it so that he activates the cutscene right as he falls off the bridge with the leaf, he skips it.
I love that at the end, "If there was a door, this barrier wouldn't even matter". Doors confirmed all-powerful. If only there were a way to emulate Door Storage, but unfortunately there isn't. Yet.
The only way I can think of would be to unload it somehow, or trick the game into thinking that you are there the second time. Launching Link over it seems a bit far fetched. Trying to damage boost him using the damaging wall has probably been tried, too.
@@KaeraNeko Turns out you were right for Wind Waker SD. In HD, they just clip through it by getting enough movement speed using item sliding. The SD trick was just found today - there's an infinite arrow glitch that causes the arrows fired not to despawn, so they just keep shooting arrows until eventually the barrier unloads.
In response to this oddly popular comment, I wanted to note something else. The door barriers in the castle itself would still be up if you were trying the method I proposed, but if you went through and killed the enemies, and the last one you killed gave you an item, you'd get both the hypothetical storage, and the door barrier would be down, giving you access to the barrier outside.
You can get both forest water and dry storage in hyrule very easily. But there is a lack of things that would have interesting properties to store. In particular, there are no chests or doors (which change your hitbox) to store. KoRL text does not change your hitbox.
well yes, it would. like a zombiehover would work if you could use the tingle tuner. with bomb hover you would be able to activate the no damage glitch to get through the knockback part and fall down from the ledge and go through under the invisible wall. as cosmo explained, it reaches up until it caps, but on the bottom it is open. when bomb hovering up you need no revival. a problem would be, since there is no blasting mask like in MM, that you would run out of explosives on your way back up.
I miss the good old days of OoT and MM. You could fly anywhere you wanted, if you had enough bombs... Not only that, if this was as badly done as OoT, you could use a boss warp, in addition to either a bomb or a door, to allow you to wrong warp either to the credits, ganon's tower, or some other version of Hyrule, depending on what the area codes actually are... I miss those simple times... :,(
Call it a humble brag or whatever, it still makes me happy knowing that I was the person who donated $5 asking him about the barrier skip, and then this happened afterwards. Really takes me back to a better time in my life. I miss this stuff :/
As the Bill who initiated the #TeamBill #TeamNick crap that night, immortalized forever with the donations at the top, I feel you.

That’s so awesome!! I remember these old times,

Wishing you the best and hoping you feel better soon ❤
Whoever discovers barrier skip probably won't even tell anyone right away. They'll do a run so they can get WR first.
what would be the point of that.. the top players will get wr in like a day or so.
the general speedrunning community isn't that cutthroat.
Raddyator Exactly, everyone borrows glitches from everyone, and is not a douche about it.
Raddyator Which is why I love the speedrunning community :P
I'd prolly get world record and then share it so that I could have world records for at least 1 day. Having a world record in anything would be amazing, even for 1 day.

Does Forest Water expiring grant the knockback invincibility?

not might, it would be possible. Door storage let's you walk through the damage barrier and the invisible wall

There are two ways: 1) pull the wind waker on the same frame dry storage expires (obsolete, forest water storage) 2) stow the wind waker on the same frame you land from a wind waker dive (dry storage)
Gender Barrier Skip 101.
savage fuck lmao
Underrated comment

Miss this guy. Their streams were so chill back in the day
He’s a women now he still streams on a channel that’s called melancholy. Literally nobody knows cosmo still streams but like 20 people lol
They don’t speedrun anymore
man, i really miss cosmo :(
Even if the barrier could be skipped, there would be two possible roadblocks. During the final fight with Ganon, you need to use the Mirror Shield during the second phase, but you don't have it at this point if you were to skip the barrier, and the game might not think you have the Mirror Shield. There's also the fact that you use the True Master Sword during the final fight, not the Hero's Sword you use before getting it, and the game might not register as you having the Master Sword, both for when Ganon knocks it out of Link's hand during the cutscene, and during the actual fight. If both of these were true, it would be impossible to kill Ganon.
Another possible wall would be if the game still didn't let you access the last part of the game because you don't have the Triforce, something along the lines of the game checking to see that you have it before letting you move on.
The game actually gives you Mirror Shield when you enter the loading zone after the Puppet Ganon fight (or you do Puppet Ganon skip, doesn't matter), which is why Mirror Shield isn't skipped in Low%. I'm pretty sure it gives you the true Master Sword aswell, but I'm not sure on that.
The Triforce is not a thing that matters. The Triforce is only important for entering Hyrule for the 3rd time.
The game gives you the fully charge Master Sword and the Mirror Shield when you enter the Puppet Ganon from Hyrule 2 or 3. If you enter the Puppet Ganon fight from the first visit to Hyrule, the game will crash.
Maybe instead of clipping the barrier, you should try to trick the game into thinking your Master Sword is maxed out. Do you think that may be possible?
RandomTalkingGamer yeah but what DarkLink's saying is if it were possible to make the game think you have an upgraded master sword when you dont, you could just break the barrier with it (and by proxy break the invisible wall)
NobodyEvenReadsNames It's not the Master Sword that the game keeps track of with breaking the barrier, it's the triforce. It's not possible to break it without all 8 shards.Now, if you could somehow juke THAT out, we may be able to get somewhere...
Isaac Platt A guy a year ago received the triforce and master sword early(he skipped tower of the gods and then went to forsaken fortress 2) since he never drew the real master sword he could not progress further in the game. The game does keep track of the master sword. we need either wrong warp or find a way to skip earth temple and beat wind temple without Makar. then the game MIGHT think you have a full master sword.
Hero_of_Time_91 ah, my mistake. I was probably thinking of the mechanics of a more obscure game that I can't remember.
Both of these step ones - dry storage and forest water storage - have the same effect, which is to set your 'cutscene state integer' to -1. Now when you enter a cutscene, it is incremented by one to 0 - and the game immediately thinks you should not be in any cutscene, so it does all the hard work of preparing for the cutscene (changing Link's hitbox, wind waker mode camera, fading to black or white, etc) and then decides NOT to start the cutscene at all. Forest water storage offers nothing new.
GG Barrier
gg ez
Yeah. Use text storage on the Tingle Tuner, then go through a door (it has to be a door that you have to use to open).
Two things could happen: The game might try and load the data for the Tingle Tuner as soon as you store the text, which means you might be able to run around while it's loading. Or, if it only loads once you play the stored text (by using a door or talking to someone for example), you could load it while opening a door which would possibly make it work with the next room.
One day...
+Marth of Altea (The_D0ct0r) Somebody found a glitch where, by abusing how objects in the game are loaded and unloaded, it's theoretically possible to have the barrier simply not load. Research is still being done, as it's not feasible to use the glitch yet for barrier skip, but the glitch is only a few weeks old.
It's still possible if it can be done silly. Barrier skip is real now.
... Being today
That day is today my friend
Not the same game tho
That was a TAS. He had to modify the game to not only have a door ina location where a door shouldn't exist, but he also had to turn on Wireframes to see what he was doing, neither of which are possible in cosmo's standard speedruns.
But yea, he did it.

I'm surprised that the barrier goes all the way around like that.
Plot wise it makes sense cosmetically. You can SEE it going all the way around, but I always just assumed it was all just background design. Yet it has collision properties all the way around?
If you have a cylinder in your game engine, you just stick a collider component on it. Done.
What you're failing to realise is - it's infinitely MORE work to make it that only one little section of your cylinder would repel you. You'd have to model a chunk of the cylinder separately, sort out the UVs, place that down invisibly with a collider on it perfectly on top of your other cylinder which is there for graphics, and then at the end of it all you'd end up with a collider which is massively less efficient.
As for the barrier behind it, they probably added that because they were worried the first barrier might glitch out and push you forwards, so if you hit a straight collider you still wouldn't be able to get through.
Whoever figures this out...

Barrier Skip was just Confirmed and replicated in WWHD. We need a new meme glitch to go for
barrier op
+pyrojkl pls nerf
Tito, Dick Dickman baby! barrier was nerfed in wwhd
In the English version, you have to press B and hit the barrier with your sword. In the Japanese version, the cutscene happens automatically once you get close enough to the barrier. By timing it so that he activates the cutscene right as he falls off the bridge with the leaf, he skips it.
YOU SHALL NOT PASS!!!!!
Krypticsader apparently had money to give
The devs. are still laughing about not putting a door in hyrule to this day.
Out of all of the INSANE things that happened in this stream, this is what you uploaded?! XD
its funny really. because speed running is all about cutting off the things you don't need.
I love that at the end, "If there was a door, this barrier wouldn't even matter". Doors confirmed all-powerful.
If only there were a way to emulate Door Storage, but unfortunately there isn't. Yet.
I guess this game is pretty dissected by now, so nothing I say as a newbie on the subject is going to contribute much.
Kaera Neko them feels
+Kaera Neko There's for sure a way to get past the barrier though, there are still glitches to be found.
The only way I can think of would be to unload it somehow, or trick the game into thinking that you are there the second time. Launching Link over it seems a bit far fetched. Trying to damage boost him using the damaging wall has probably been tried, too.
@@KaeraNeko Turns out you were right for Wind Waker SD. In HD, they just clip through it by getting enough movement speed using item sliding. The SD trick was just found today - there's an infinite arrow glitch that causes the arrows fired not to despawn, so they just keep shooting arrows until eventually the barrier unloads.
@@browncoat697 Oh-! That's great news!
"Another thing that was thought of, let's... die." -Cosmo 2013
Haha you thought
Tyloxs I just saw the video. Could you please explain what exactly was happening?
In response to this oddly popular comment, I wanted to note something else. The door barriers in the castle itself would still be up if you were trying the method I proposed, but if you went through and killed the enemies, and the last one you killed gave you an item, you'd get both the hypothetical storage, and the door barrier would be down, giving you access to the barrier outside.
Nintendo. Very sensible
Cosmo knows more about this game than I know about pretty much everything else...
chuck norris could get past it
I'm here to announce that Barrier Skip in Wind Waker HD has been discovered!
Troon
8/20
GG U CAN GET PAST IT IN TWW HD
TWW: Barrier Skip
cosmo is this real?
nethanproductions
i think its TAS only...
but i really wanna see what cosmo has to say about that video.
Didn't he already mentioned in the video that it would be easily possible using doors if there were any? I guess the video just shows that.
yeah i read the guys comments on the video more carefully and he put the door there himself.
Funny coming back to this now that Barrier Skip is in HD. New any% is 1:35:57.
it can be skipped :)
you were correct. a new glitch has broken the barrier.
Bobby Rare
i know the glich since the game were out but i dont wanted to public it =)
Darkblitz
Alright. Neat.
Bobby Rare neat?
Darkblitz
as in... I like your style. I wish more people were like you.
Just wanna point out that the Wii U Wind Waker barrier skip and a Original WW barrier skip are completely different.
Wish cosmo could come back. too bad he got possessed by that lunatic.
You can get both forest water and dry storage in hyrule very easily. But there is a lack of things that would have interesting properties to store. In particular, there are no chests or doors (which change your hitbox) to store. KoRL text does not change your hitbox.
Remnants of a better time. Such a shame to see how far you've fallen. You used to be such a cool person.
What are you talking about? Is he not still a "cool" person?
@@primalvelocity3811 nope
@@cc-nt5pl Why?
@@primalvelocity3811 i guess bc he transitioned
@@boxedog Transitioned? How does that not make him "cool" anymore? Maybe he just moved on. It happens.
"The barrier" is the group formed by the damaga wall and the invisible wall.
@James J Maybe if you watched the video you'd know why he can't do the zombie hover.
well yes, it would. like a zombiehover would work if you could use the tingle tuner. with bomb hover you would be able to activate the no damage glitch to get through the knockback part and fall down from the ledge and go through under the invisible wall. as cosmo explained, it reaches up until it caps, but on the bottom it is open. when bomb hovering up you need no revival. a problem would be, since there is no blasting mask like in MM, that you would run out of explosives on your way back up.
there's gotta be some kinda mindbending sequence break of doom that can get you through it
Barrier skip in WWHD confirmed, still no humanly possible way on GC though.
I miss the good old days of OoT and MM. You could fly anywhere you wanted, if you had enough bombs... Not only that, if this was as badly done as OoT, you could use a boss warp, in addition to either a bomb or a door, to allow you to wrong warp either to the credits, ganon's tower, or some other version of Hyrule, depending on what the area codes actually are... I miss those simple times... :,(
Getting the fully charged Master Sword changes some flags in the game and de-spawns the barrier.
