    My Guess about the Gerudo Mask:
    In the ROM file for Ocarina of time, there is an unused text hint for the Haunted Wasteland called "Desert Hint 2" which reads:
    "WHAAAT!? Look at all those flags! Can you figure out which ones are real?"
    Seeing as how it's the desert right after the Gerudo Fortress, and the mask shows the flags, it's probably a safe bet that there were fake flags at one point in development, and no Lens of Truth, and this was the solution to the puzzle.

      oh dangles, that is cool.

    • @cullenlatham2366
      @cullenlatham2366 3 роки тому +7

      i am doubtful, especially with the label of hint *2*. if it is the second hint, then that means hint one was likely written first. In that case, it makes it hard to believe there was no eye of truth for the solution.
      such a theory also bring into question why it is the mask, specifically? the absolute best answer i can come up with is that the gerudo training grounds was not as optional in early development, and the mask was the reward needed to progress. Even then i have some doubts, especially because the same hint gives 0 direction towards needing a mask in particular, and if there was a third hint that DID imply it, it would be too conclusive of evidence for you to leave it unmentioned.
      With everything considered, the lens was likely always the intended solution to the puzzle, but when the puzzle was scrapped, they had to scrap the function of the lens as well to avoid confusion. In doing so, the code got lost in the process, and ended up getting attached to the mask to avoid complications that removing said code could cause. Since the masks were only worn as a child and the feature was a solution to an adult puzzle, normal gameplay would never come across it.
      Now i am thinking about the world in which the puzzle was scrapped, but the mechanic remained. That blasted sandstorm can make it difficult enough to see the flags as is, and you already need the lens to cross (without insane dedication to memorize the path), so in a world where the flags glowed with the lens, the desert would be far less annoying. As for the doors, the answer to the place they fit comes in the form of the fake doors found in places like the fire temple. fake doors dont glow, so blow them up. It also leaves room for the doors to be far more punishing, as if the doors can be seen with the lens, then they dont need another tell. either risk opening the door and take damage, or flick the lens in front of your face for a second to check. slashing the wall next to or behind the fake door wouldn't do anything. The only problem in this world is that the lens is unlocked relatively late in comparison to the fake doors. Yes, it is technically possible to have the lens before the first instances in the fire temple, but you need to know it exists and go out of your way to get it without any such hint from the game. spirit and shadow temples coming sooner in progression? well, they are balanced around being the last 2 dungeons in the game before the assault on ganon's castle. To us experts it might not seem it, but the puzzles are more complicated and the enemies are more difficult or at least placed in spots more convenient to the enemy's role. All i really need to say to prove that point is iron knuckle, the most powerful non-boss enemy in the game, even if they move slow.

    Ah, the toadstool trick in Link's Awakening. A classic. I remember finding that one out on my own, and it was hilarious to me then. I always positioned myself to the boss to try to hit it with the shroom like it was a sword, just kinda shoved it in the guys face.
    The ONLY explanation I can give for that is that the Gameboy version of the game only had, like 16 active items you could have in game, and the toadstool took up the magic powder slot, so, in order to not soft-lock anyone at the final boss who had the sleepy toadstool instead of magic powder, they just gave it a pass.

    • @marhawkman303
      @marhawkman303 3 роки тому +1

      the funny thing is that form of the Nightmare is what I always thought of as the easy one anyways since after a few goes I could basically insta-kill it with the powder. IIRC while you technically had to hit the boss more than once, it had no i-frames and thus I could rapidly sprinkle it and kill it before it got a chance to retaliate.

      best guess on the discovery was that someone had too much blue fire after the ice cavern, but was too lazy to empty the bottles immediately. when they found the need to empty the bottles in question, there just happened to be a valid bomb wall nearby.
      the other option was that someone went out of their way to try breaking blue fire, which is otherwise exclusively used in frozen domain, ice cavern, and ganon's castle.

    I definitely didn't know that toadstool trick in Link's Awakening! That's pretty awesome! I don't really know if this counts since it's more of a glitch, but I distinctly remember there being a trick in certain versions of Ocarina of Time where you could get a deku stick to break during a jump attack off of a tall ledge and it would be invulnerable until it's put away and deal something like 4x more damage than the Kokiri Sword, essentially being a child's Master Sword. I also remember doing this glitch would sometimes break other things in the game, but I can't exactly remember what right now.

    • @Trianull
      @Trianull 3 роки тому +2

      The Ocarina of Time trick you might be thinking about is the Infinite Sword Glitch, usually abbreviated to just ISG, which makes the hitbox for swords and the stick constantly active. It also disables hopping from ledges and falling in general if I remember correctly, which allows you to gain height by having something (usually a bomb) hit your shield in the middle of a backflip.

    • @QuasarEE
      @QuasarEE 3 роки тому +2

      It specifically happens if you break the stick on a wall at a particular angle and distance. There are setups to do it reliably but I still find it difficult regardless. It's a weird remnant of a beta feature, as at one point you would have always been able to wield broken sticks. At some point in development this was overridden by canceling the transition animation and having the stick fly out of Link's hands instead. When done at a certain angle this animation hack gets skipped by the game and that's why you get to keep the stick.

    It's quite likely the glowing effect from the Gerudo mask in OoT was from a scrapped use. Perhaps, being the Gerudo thieves, wearing the mask would highlight treasure or goods. The objects highlighted in that clip seemed to be specifically interactable objects, so maybe they only got as far as making it react to anything interactable and scrapped it before the function was made any more specific.

    One thing in BotW that I surprisingly don't see many people ever mention, and I figured out on my own, is that fire and ice weapons can alter your body heat in extreme weather. For example, if Link is sweating in the Gerudo desert, rather than changing your clothes, just equip an ice sword. You can do the same in the mountains with a fire sword. I genuinely wonder if anybody else has figured that out, because I honestly never see anyone else mention it anywhere.

    Two of the masks from Oot can be used at a hidden stage in the Lost woods. The masks increase how many deku nuts and deku sticks Link can carry. However the upgrades aren’t available if the upgrades are bought from the business shrubs. So instead of upgrading twice Link can only do it once.

      No, deku nuts and sticks have 2 upgrades, each item has one from a business scrub and the other from the forest stage (with Skull Mask and Mask of Truth).
      The deku nut upgrade with the Mask of Truth can become unobtainable if you've already aquired the Poacher's Saw in the Lost Woods as an adult. This is a glitch and has been fixed in later versions of the game.

If you use the cane while you have no magic at all, and then swap to the mushroom slot in the inventory (still works even after you do have the powder), it will activate magic powder's effect. This comes up in item randos sometimes as it is a trick that can be put into logic.

    **THE TWILIGHT PRINCESS SKY CITY FETCH QUEST**
    I just remembered a part in another Legend of Zelda game that can be considered both a trading sequence, and also a fetch quest. It's also "not," a side quest either like other trading sequences or fetch quests either. In Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess, before getting into the Sky City dungeon, you are required to complete a massive trading sequence/fetch quest in order to even use the cannon. I mean, it leans way more towards a fetch quest than a trading sequence, but there's also some elements of that too.

  • @sageneodraconus
    @sageneodraconus 3 роки тому +5

    It wouldn't surprise me if the bunny hood thing is intentional. To deliver the hood you have to run through the field (or catch the running man when he rests at the ranch entrance). Having to fend off the skeleton baddies in the field would make it harder to finish that portion of the mask quest unless you caught him during the day. So the bunny hood not causing the skeletons to spawn in the field may have been intentional. Which then got exploited into a "hidden use".
    I didn't know about blue fire destroying bomb walls either. But that also makes sense from a programming standpoint. If red ice barriers and bomb walls were programmed in similar ways (like they share a portion of code that matches) then using the fire could glitch out and trigger the breaking of a wall as if done by a bomb. I'm pretty sure it doesn't go the other way. Meaning the blue fire and red ice code is the more complex version and requires more than just a line or two of code to trigger getting rid of it. It may have gotten overlooked in game testing too because who would waste their precious blue fire on anything but the red ice? Lol. Someone must have either known about the code similarities or had a shitload of time on their hands to figure that one out. But it is an interesting trick nonetheless

      makes sense for a game with directional blocking. IIRC in Zelda games the shield never protects you from the side you're not holding the shield on, so it sort of makes sense for at least in some game it to passively protect on the side it's held on.

    Some BOTW tips:
    1. Using stasis to highlight edible plants & mushrooms in woodlands can make finding and collecting them all much easier.
    2. Stasis can also be used to freeze the flying acorns found in some korok archery puzzles, making them much easier to hit with a bow & arrow.
    3. Stasis can also be used to highlight hidden or hard-to-see enemies in dark areas.
    4. You can create an updraft using 4 lit bundles of wood; this trick is especially handy in the Sword Trials (especially in Master Mode) where you can use the updrafts to evade enemies, shoot them repeatedly in slow mo and use for other tactics.
    5. Placing burning bundles of wood around a Hinox before you wake it up will give you an advantage in battle as they're prone to stepping on fires and getting distracted as they try to put the flames out.
    6. If you feed a monster its preferred food while you wear a beast mask, you can get behind it while its eating and go for an easy stab in the back kill (this only works on monsters below silver or gold rank though). You can feed lizalfos critters frogs instead of fish for a cheaper option.
    7. An easy way to take Lynels down is to fight them on horseback, leaping up in the air to strike them with a volley of arrows at close range and returning to the horse before the Lynel gets back up (& rinse & repeat this until it dies). If you do this efficiently you can take down a Lynel without it having the opportunity to strike once. An interesting thing about stamina recovery is that no matter how low your gauge is, it will be instantly restored once you jump back onto the horse.
    8. If you gently glide onto a Hinox's belly, it is possible to steal the weapons from around its neck and run off before it can wake and attack you. This can be an especially easy way to harvest much-needed metal weapons in the early stages of the game when decent weapons are hard to find (and certainly without a fight).
    9. It takes precisely 10 apples or carrots to tame a wild horse instantly.
    10. You can always tell what the best horse in a herd is because it will lead the herd as they wander around.
    11. 30 minute long lasting elixirs can be made using a dragon horn, 3 powerful foodstuffs and one lesser foostuff (for example 3 Mighty Banana's, 1 Mighty Thistle and 1 dragon Horn will create a 30 minute long powerful attack elixirs). Downing an elixir like this can give you a handy advantage in the Sword Trials.
    12. The diving korok puzzles can be easily completed by jumping off a Cryonis block into the Lily ring.
    (Etc)

    Using a bottle or bug net to deflect Agahnim's spell ball is another one in ALttP.

There's also the different things you can do with the Stones of Truth by bombing them, using the hammer, or using Din's Fire on them, aside from talking to them with the Mask of Truth. Also some of them have hidden fairies in them if you use Zelda's Lullaby.
