  • It's an old and well known glitch, but no one seems to be able to say why it happens, until now. I think I might have solved it, the mystery of why this door magically unlocks in the original Legend of Zelda

    Ok, this just completely blew my mind. This is one of those little quirks about the game that I've always known about and used to save an extra key. But it's always bugged me that it seemed like nobody really talked about it and I've always wanted to know why. Now I know and I thank you!

    Ahhh that makes sense now, thank!
    When you first started explaining how it might work, my brain immediately started thinking, this is probably related to how the Lost woods unlocks after travelling North, west, South, west. That must be handled elsewhere. 🤔
    Nicely explained!

    Honestly, I'm assuming Nintendo hasn't fixed it because... well, why would they? This is a bug that seems, for all the world, like a secret. And everybody likes secrets in their games! Since there's literally no harm caused by this, and it arguably adds a little extra easter egg to the game that some fans would miss if it weren't present anymore, it really seems like the sort of bug that's better left unfixed. You could call it a "happy accident."

    I really was geeking out of this when you were going through the code b using the emulator to figure out how this worked.

      Thanks Fuzz! I swear there is no actual explanation of the 'why' of this glitch that I could find. Lots of how it's done, but no explanation of the code behind it.

    Not setting a direction makes more sense for single-screen caves, which were probably implemented first.

    I remember figuring this out waaay back in the early 90s accidently about this where i would enter level one and for some reason id leave to come back in to find the first locked door gone

  • @ebonysable6093

    So that's what a breakpoint is and does, hey? Thank you for providing this information, I believe it will be useful to me in future, and I suspect it will be easier to remember/understand from your video than from reading about it in a dry guide somewhere.

  • @gwgux
    @gwgux 2 місяці тому +4

    Huh, so that's why it does that. Given that it would normally only trigger on the first dungeon of the game, maybe Nintendo left it there on purpose? An Easter egg to have an extra key on hand to help out people who found it? Developers have intentionally left things like that in games before so it's really not that much of a stretch.

    • @3rdalbum
      @3rdalbum 2 місяці тому +2

      Maybe, but it could just have easily been an oversight and a legitimate bug. No other dungeons have a locked door in the North direction in their first screen.

    • @fehoobar
      @fehoobar 2 місяці тому

    Definitely makes sense. I didn't even know about this glitch though, I don't think I ever triggered it.

      This is a well known glitch for so many years. I've seen other videos before explaining the glitch. So this video is just a repeat of other videos. This glitch is a great thing to save a key or for speedrunners.

    What happens if you unlock a door, but walk around it instead of through it? Is it still locked on the other end? Does it unlock the other side when you open a door making the unlock when you enter a room pointless? Do you just automatically walk through after unlocking a door, making this impossible? Does the game not have any locked doors you could go around?

    • @Sharopolis
      @Sharopolis  2 місяці тому +4

      You can't unlock a door without going through it. Later on there are some doors you can go around without unlocking first, but in that case the doors stays locked until you unlock it by going though. If you cheat and walk through walls the doors stay locked too, you need to go through to unlock a door.

    This glitch happens when you enter the sceeen level 1 is on from above using a game genie. The reason it happens cause the game assumes you must have entered thru the locked door and thus removes it.

    • @fehoobar
      @fehoobar 2 місяці тому

      Yup, this is the right answer. The rest is just technical details.

  • @disparityband
    @disparityband 2 місяці тому +3

    Maybe he retitled the video, Maybe you are all a bunch of whiny know-it-alls, Maybe it's some cynical ploy (and not an obvious necessity of even surviving in YT's algorithm) to deceive you poor misguided clickers, or Maybe the original video he was talking about said "This should not exist" which is a much bigger and overt falsehood than "Glitch explained in detail" and provides totally adequate context for the production of this informative "response" video, or Maybe, just Maybe this a is really interesting topic for a video that is 100% in the boundaries of normal acceptable and reasonable content.
    Just maybe.

      Does everyone really encounter it? If you are playing through the game normally, you don't usually exit a dungeon immediately after entering it.

    Err, this trick (the pirouette) is commonly used in speedrunning (especially the Z1 randomizer), and has been understood for years (I don't even remember how many years ago it was I heard how it works).
    Though don't let me discourage you from reverse-engineering. It's my favorite pastime.
