Spring Water Restoration Kaztalek 2022-08-05 | Didn't really know what to call this, but you can change your c-button item to spring water on-the-fly without pausing, which I'm pretty sure is a new concept. Steps:- catch hsw in a real bottle that you can equip swap over- equip swap something over that hsw- when the timer expires, the c-item from the last step will become spring waterNote that this only works if you don't overwrite the hsw in that bottle slot (ex: equip swap a bottle over hsw, then catch a fish. the fish will overwrite the hsw in that slot, so when the hsw would've cooled, nothing happens).

Oddities of Termina 4 ~ A Compilation Kaztalek 2022-02-08 | Oddities of Termina playlist: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLhidzeZ496C-x51lQ9Uf-F0UKLEJIyIQNAs usual, this is a compilation of tricks that are neat but don't deserve their own video.Ordinarily I release these every 100 videos, but my activity slowed way down. I figure I should upload these now instead of waiting, and think of a better way to document these clips in the future instead of holding on to them (for the past few years I've been posting information as I come across it on Twitter, though I don't think that's much better). Meaning this is most likely the last Oddities of Termina, though I won't say that with 100% certainty.I found these clips on my old hard drive in a folder labeled "oddities4". They're named 001 ... 025 and from 2015-2017. I present these clips in order, completely unedited. I forget the context for some of these, but here is a brief breakdown:00:00 - Get Snowhead ice rupees with Zora00:16 - The camera slowly rotates on its own here00:38 - Unsure what this is; the video was a black screen so I assume I was supposed to record that video again when I wasn't lazy00:42 - You can ascend this slope using only pound01:16 - Collection delay the wallet (idr why this is here)01:31 - Just a long deku flower descent. classic oddities time-wasting clip03:52 - Epona in Snowhead exterior shenanigans05:21 - Infinite Fish05:44 - This clip was how I accidentally discovered Goron Missile. Originally I had no idea what happened and added it as an oddities clip05:51 - Same info as last clip05:57 - Goron action swap on Epona07:01 - Showing off sad Gorman bros during the horse race (normally impossible, but I use any-items Epona to put on the mask during the race)08:23 - Smithy shenanigans08:44 - Jump thing08:50 - Cool Goron Missile way of exiting GBT09:24 - Can pound Gekko to avoid damage and get magic drops09:43 - Showing off weird geometry in the unloaded SCT section of ECT10:03 - Get Goron stuck (since curl height is a shorter hitbox)10:27 - Cool Goron jump10:36 - Showing there's no way to break rocks underwater, then breaking it11:01 - Infinite Deku Hookshot Void Thing12:27 - Pounding the flower changes your color and makes the flower bob up and down12:56 - Really cool big octo skip13:29 - Sirloin + WFT shenanigans15:15 - Weird Guy Cutscene

Goron Only Lullaby Skip (No Wolfos/Tatl) Kaztalek 2021-04-06 | LOTAD (cam is a meme based on twitter.com/mitsukianatoshi/status/1301809802016894983). This was theorized possible by adruck after my video yesterday, so I went ahead and proved it with a single, continuous goron roll and normal magic. I'm very pleased this version is possible; no clever tricks or anything needed.

Majoras Mask in 2 Pauses, Remastered [Commentated] Kaztalek 2021-02-22 | This video is tool-assisted.Run length:- File select to last hit on Majora: 2:17:19- Power on to last input: 2:21:38.9Frames: 509934Rerecords: 30758This run aims to complete Majora's Mask while pausing to equip items (or for any other reason) only twice. In fact, this can be considered "Majora's Mask in 2 Start Presses" since the start button was only pressed twice, for a single frame each. This run does not use SRM/TO (zeldaspeedruns.com/mm/srm/srm-primer), which would trivialize the challenge.I published the original 2 pause LOTAD on this date, 6 years ago. I've received many requests to remake this run (and wanted to myself) to both see how the route would change and to have a version with more bearable audio quality. With a more optimized route and gameplay, this version saves over 35 minutes. I consider this to be a great glitch showcase and a labor of love.This run is a stream highlight and was premiered live on twitch.tv/zfg1.

Yo-Yo Glitch in Majoras Mask Kaztalek 2020-10-14 | This is reminiscent of the yo-yo glitch in SSBM, hence the title.You need to have ISG for this to work, and you need to use remote hookshot (drinking milk with anything else in your hand doesn't seem to work).I don't know that much about this. Would be helpful if someone could visualize or look into this.Stay gaming

Remote Hookshot: Woodfall Boss Key Skip Kaztalek 2020-10-09 | How to do:- have full milk, empty bottle, and hookshot on C- hold target and aim hookshot at torch 1- drink milk. this "stores" the hookshot position and angle. it'll shoot next time you take out hookshot- go to another torch (torch 2) and hookshot it before you get pulled to torch 1- you'll be interrupted towards your pull to torch 1 by going to torch 2, and can now move around freely while still being "pulled"- in this state, you can't really gain or lose height, so that's why you hover around, as seen in last video- if you do manage to lose height (like by going downstairs, you'll be pulled back to the y coordinate of torch 1. you can use this momentum to clip out of bounds and navigate to the boss room- take care of yourself
Double Hookshot Hovering Kaztalek 2020-10-08 | First, anonymous tipster found that drinking milk with hookshot in hand and empty bottle on C shot the hookshot and created a new chain: youtube.com/watch?v=7ifXExhT8ioThen, TheMasterZelda found that this trick just shoots hookshot in the same orientation and position it was in your hand (it was shooting the ground because it was held in Link's hand pointing towards the ground). So you can remotely connect to hookshot targets: youtube.com/watch?v=Kv97QhGvaZcThen, I found that you can connect to 2 hookshot targets at once, and once you do, you can freely control yourself and cancel at any time.This trick is still very very new and being actively looked into! Hope cool things come of this!
Remote Hookshot Kaztalek 2020-09-22 | Shoutouts to anonymous tipster.How to do:- have hookshot in hand, with full milk and empty bottle on C- drink milk- pull hookshot again and it will automatically shoot and create a new point- repeat as many times as you want (equip swap means you can do this infinitely)

Majoras Mask: All Fairy Rewards, No Human in Dungeons [Commentated] Kaztalek 2018-02-21 | This video is tool-assisted.Run length:- File select to last hit on Majora: 2:29:50- Power on to last input: 2:34:01.2Frames: 554472Rerecords: 27140This run aims to complete Majora's Mask, getting all fairy rewards, and never being human form inside of a dungeon. This makes for a great glitch showcase for the game as it shows off plenty of tricks you would never see otherwise. I've included audio commentary to help explain what's happening so it's easier to follow.If you're confused about anything you see still, I'm more than happy to explain it in a bit more detail.Continuing the tradition of commentated Zelda challenges uploaded every February 21st : )

Goron Ocarina Dive Kaztalek 2018-02-12 | Or, more aptly, "How to Ocarina Dive off Most Ledges".When you do Ocarina Items by holding ESS, hitting the bottled item, then your sword/punch, you'll actually fall off the ledge instead of snapping to it. This means that you can ocarina dive in way more situations, and not need a specific angle or ledge.

Goron Pound Clip Kaztalek 2017-12-03 | Inspired by Gigopler finding a way to clip here: youtube.com/watch?v=JUH_hnaXa9gI'm not entirely sure how this works, but it seems like if you have a real steep slope, and the powder keg pushes you, you can clip through the ground.This is really difficult, so it's hard for me to test where else this works. Hopefully we can do something cool with this.

Text Transfer Protocol Kaztalek 2017-07-22 | Some NPCs have a short cutscene of movement before talking to you. If you have text up (from a stored song, hot spring water cooling, etc.) before talking to them, you can walk while talking to them. Taking this a step further, there are some interesting side effects available from having dialogue up...This video shows just 10 clips out of a wide variety of possibilities opened up. The general idea is that while the text is up, you're put in this weird intermittent state where interacting with other text gives strange results (until the textbox is closed and all is right with the world again).With this glitch, it's possible to get a bunch of dialogues that are normally impossible in this scenario (as shown several times in the video). Once the textbox is closed, everything will go back to normal. Some textboxes do nothing, while others have very strange effects. It seems like multiple choice dialogues are most likely to have odd side effects.There is still much unknown about this and a lot of potential for crazy stuff to happen. If you have any questions on what's happening in the video, I'll be glad to answer!Music by jinsang ❤In order:Morning.Past MemoryGrowthAffection
Mikaus Descent Kaztalek 2017-07-18 | When you pick up and drop Mikau, he doesn't actually disappear like previously thought: he teleports to the location he's meant to walk to, but beneath the surface of the land on the water.After beating Great Bay Temple, the Great Bay map allows us to use Ice Arrows. With a weird shot, we can not only see Mikau under the surface, but also shoot an ice arrow to give him land. The rest is softlock history.P.S. Don't forget, since Ice Arrows requires entering GBT, which requires Zora Mask, you'll have to dupe a bottle over Zora Mask for Mikau to appear again!

Temporary Zora Hover from Woodfall Flowers Kaztalek 2017-07-02 | Here's something cool you can do with these flowers in Woodfall Temple.The flowers trap you the same way as Like Likes do, so by dying right as you activate them, you'll gain control while maintaining this "Zora Hover" state.However, if you do this as human, you'll lose control once the plant damages you again. Goron, on the other hand, doesn't have this problem since the flowers won't try to hurt him.With this, we can do whatever we want with Zora Hover, in a brand new spot!...except as soon as the flower explodes we lose this.Clip 1: Shows a way to die right as you activate the flower as Goron. After reviving, I Goron Pound, then let go of A. As soon as Zora Hover wears off from the plant dying, the pound that I stored will release and I'll gain that stored height, even though I was uncurled.Clip 2: Shows... Zora hovering. When the plant explodes, I just drop.Clip 3: Shows what happens when you use hookshot in this state. You're stuck until the plant explodes and everything goes back to normal.It would be super cool if someone was able to come up with a way to not have the plant reset the glitch.For the uninitiated, this is what Zora Hover is: youtube.com/watch?v=F1XdXM5PfR8

Start a File on 0th Day Kaztalek 2017-04-15 | Seedborn's Twitter: twitter.com/TVandSorry for the poor presentation, but I have a really bad habit of sitting on videos instead of giving the info outright. Instead of holding on to this info, I just wanted to get it out there."Endless Day" is a property you can get from Bottle Adventure (duping over hookshot). It makes it so that the day you're on never advances. A side effect of this, is that if this property is used on a file that starts from an owl, but doesn't load at an owl (starting a new cycle from somewhere that isn't Clock Tower, basically), the cycle starts at day 0 and doesn't advance to first day as the title card is supposed to make it do. This lets us stay permanently on 0th day, which can lead to a lot of fun things.The reason we can carry over this property is because Endless Day is one of a few addresses that persist at the file select screen from file 2's owl save. So the concept is: get Endless Day on file 2, save at the owl, and load file 1.Feel free to ask questions if you'd like an expansion on anything shown here. I know I didn't really explain myself well.
Garo (...) Freeze (...) Glitch (...) Kaztalek 2017-04-10 | Well,hereyougo.To do this, kill the garo and escape the flames (I use Goron Missile to achieve this in the video, but hookshotting a tree should work as well). The Garo will keep respawning and try to congratulate you on killing him. This continues until you either look at him (he then congratulates you and leaves) or unload him by any means (entering new area or something similar).This might open some potential doors for new cool things to do, as we now can lock our position on the go. One side effect of this shown is being able to do multiple consecutive hookshot megajumps.
Scene Flags Kaztalek 2017-02-25 | Mystery Bean Plant: youtube.com/watch?v=XRNovfWvamsExcuse my fumbled explanation, but the idea is simple. Each scene has a series of flags to keep track of which events have already happened. Due to developer error, there's a few cases of separate events sharing the same switch: that is, activating one is equivalent to activating both.Who knows what other scene flags might be shared? I encourage you to look out for them : )
