    When you think about it, ALTTP is where the Zelda's more dark and grimy chapters started from. Link's uncle tries to stop Aghanim from taking over the castle, and dies. Link rescues Zelda and entrusts her to a priest...and just as he's ready to retrieve the Master Sword, the priest gets killed and Zelda gets taken. Then he storms Aghanim's tower just a hair too late to see Zelda get sacrificed and the world shifting into the Dark World.
    Sure, it only gets better from that point on, with Link finding all the artifacts and rescuing the maidens, but...heck, isn't it ironic that everything that happens in the Light World is the darker part of the game?

      Agreed! I just started playing the game again on Switch. ALttP was one if the first SNES games I had back in the early 90s, and playing it again through adult eyes I've begun to notice how dark the game gets. I realized this as a child, but ever so more as an adult. I can't help but wonder what an updated version would look like. Hopefully, it'll be as dark as my imagination makes it.

      There are 2 game breaking glitches, one I found on my own, and another was found in "glitch picnic". The one in glitch picnic lets you enter an area from behind, it is best to do it on death mountain, you need the hook shot for this, you aim the hook shot down to see if you line up in the middle of the rock that you see at the bottom or nearly the bottom of the screen, but you should be on the spectacle rock, if you are lined up perfectly, look up, charge your sword and jump off the edge, if done perfectly, you should enter the cave which will make you stuck. You can't move, and you MUST reset to escape the glitch, I believe if you save your game, you will permanently be stuck, so don't do it unless you want to troll your friend that they can't move. The other glitch was discovered by myself, do the exploration glitch, head into a blank room, or a house room that would normally have the floor assets set to house, (hint, if you don't know what I am talking about, Link's house is an example) then what I did was travel to the room you will go into when you enter Ganon's tower, don't jump in it, instead travel to the right said it, with the camera showing the entrance, travel a room to the right, and you should see the 2nd fight against Agahnim, then what I think I did was go to the room to the right and the game crashed, and you could hear the snow sound. Reset the game and on the file menu, ALL of you save files will be gone. This game breaking glitch is extreme! The one that was on glitch picnic forced you to delete a save file to escape if you saved your game after the glitch but the game breaking glitch I discovered is more deadly. Avoid doing either of these game breaking glitches if you have or are doing it on a completed file.

    The no-clip glitch is alot of fun. It seems like when you do this, you can access all the dungeons as well as all the caves in the game. I was able to get the bow, keys, Master Key, and several pieces of heart containers by jumping off a ledge in the Gargoyle's Domain and exiting the dungeon which puts you in Dark World Kakariko as regular link. It is raining though and there are no enemies and other characters. I am curious though how many dungeon items can be obtained this way, before you rescue Zelda the 1st time. You can repeat the no-clip trick each time you obtain an item, but the dungeon has to have a jumping spot to where you can clip back into the regular game and grab the big chest item.
    You can also do this and go to the room with Aganim and defeat him. It is odd cause you get to see him banish Zelda to the Dark World while Zelda is also following you. After defeating Aganim you are banished to the Dark World as bunny link with Zelda following you. This essentially breaks your game though cause even though you can then perform the no-clip again in the Dark World, without the Moon Pearl or the Mirror, there is nothing more you can do.

    • @schwartzbwithu
      @schwartzbwithu 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I am finding out now, that when you grab keys from the Gargoyle's Dungeon in no clip mode, when you actually visit the dungeon those chests will be empty. This breaks your game since this is where I grabbed the Master Key, and I am now unable to get it from the actual Gargoyle's Dungeon.

    Holy Crapola, I've heard of this bloody, dark world/light world mirror and bridge, glitch both by mouth and by written word, but I've never witnessed it demonstrated in game until now. It goes a lot deeper than I ever thought, no wonder everybody I actually talked to in person about it were surprised off their "assets" about me never making an attempt at it or seeing the darn thing done. Though now, I see I've been missing out and all those friends of mine were right, it looks like a whole lot of fun, and I'm going to get right on it as soon as I'm done watching/liking your video and subscribing to your channel. It's good to see there are still Legend of Zelda ALTTP enthusiasts still around like you mate. It IS quite possibly one of the top ten console games of all time, I know it's in my top ten!

    i think i just accidentally discovered a glitch that i haven't seen featured anywhere else yet. when you're in ganon's tower on the third floor right in front of the stairs to access the fourth floor, use the pegasus boots to dash against the wall on the opposite side of the stairs. if you do it often enough, lanmola, the boss of the palace with the pendant of power, (which you should have just fought again), will glitch out of the floor and his sprite freeze in midair. everytime you bump against the wall, then, he's gonna move some more (it only works if you bump on the wall in front of the stairs, not on the others) in his usual pattern. you can't attack him, he's just gonna move a bit everytime you bump against the wall. if you leave the room, it gets back to normal. i have the gba version in french, so i don't know where else it might work. it's not as epic as glitching through walls, but i'm kinda proud to have found it :D

      I had a pretty consistent setup for getting into it; I'd usually visit it before heading to Kakariko Village the first time, so I'd have enough money for a bottle, but if I got the right drops in escape, I'd delay going in until it would give me enough rupees for the flippers. I always used the hole next to the river to the east of the graveyard. I mostly played it the year after it came out.
      I didn't actually know the whole story (though I did read the message in the room) until I got on the Internet, though. It did confuse me why I'd only sometimes fall into it.

    I APPROVE! I like how you portrayed the glitch I found, however there's actually a span of those rooms where that glitch works. You can do the glitch at the end between the room shown and a room below the right side of the room before the wizard fight near Ganon's tower

    @Metaknightkirby2 9 ปีที่แล้ว +16

    I'm sad to see you don't explain the technical reasons as to *why* these glitches happen in great detail anymore. (Especially that last one) :( Still a good episode though.

    • @AStartShow
      @AStartShow  9 ปีที่แล้ว +17

      ***** Sometimes there's no explanation for a glitch, so I'd rather not make ones up, and in those cases, it's best just to show rather than explain. Also the series covers a lot more ground than it used to, with 10 or more glitches an episode. Son of a glitch used to just focus on one glitch, so it was always heavily explained, but maybe that something to include in future episodes :)

    • @Metaknightkirby2
      @Metaknightkirby2 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      A+Start I'm really glad to hear that. :D But how can there be literally "no explanation" for a glitch? I mean it must happen for a reason, right?

    • @Gmrking91
      @Gmrking91 9 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      ***** Having a reason and knowing it are two different things. Without going into the games code I would imagine finding out why the game feels a palate swap or switching link into bunny form is the correct option for any given scenario would be impossible.

    Many of these glitches, notably the ones involving exploration, "super bunny", and walking on water, were originally documented on my site at davidwonn.kontek.net/snes.html back in the 1990s. You can also find them by plugging in geocities.com/TimesSquare/Maze/7751/snes.html into the Wayback machine at archive.org as well. I’d appreciate if you could add the proper sources in your description. Thanks.

    Great video XD
    I found a variation of the mushroom glitch at 5:51.
    First off you would need to find any spot in the dark world outside, where there is a ledge you can jump off sideways.
    1. Stand at the ledge
    2. Jump off and use the Mirror at the same time
    3. Link will warp back to the light world in mid-air
    4. Now he is one level above everything including enemies. He can get their attention by making noise but neither can damage each other
    5. You can't use the sparkly portal you created, so find a blue portal to the Dark World or go to the Hyrule Castle gates to return to dark world. (DO NOT jump off any cliffs or dash against anything during this time. You need to keep Link one level above everything.)
    6. Go to the spot where the mushroom is, then warp to the light world.
    7. This is the most important and easy to mess up part. Look at the portal and the mushroom. You didn't get the mushroom when you warped to the light world because you're still above everything (as long as you haven't jumped off any ledges or dashed into a wall). Now back off and look at the portal and mushroom. Make sure they are occupying the EXACT SAME SPACE. Down to the last single pixel.
    8. Dash into a nearby wall, then walk into the mushroom and portal. Link will pick up the mushroom AND warp back to the dark world, simultaneously.
    9. Now he is standing, holding air above his head forever and you can't do anything else.
    I imagine an annoying Chao floating above Link and saying "You got: nothing!"

    The Chris Houlihan room can be accessed simply by speed. Rather than it being a glitch, it's an Easter Egg put in by devs, because Houlihan won a contest put out by Nintendo. I don't think it requires a glitch.

      I remember finding this room multiple times just by falling down the same hole that was shown in the video. I don't think there's any special trick for it whatsoever. It's just there like anything else.

  • @MaskedMammal
    @MaskedMammal 9 ปีที่แล้ว +15

    I can't quite pick out what it is but in your intro, the way you say "glitch" really bugs me. (It always has but I just felt like bringing it up for once)
    It sounds muffled, like that one word was recorded in a different mic... possibly by a completely different person. And it still sounds more like "grinch" or "gunch" to me than glitch.
    Can it be... a glitch in your intro?

    • @AStartShow
      @AStartShow  9 ปีที่แล้ว +41

      Bitcoon That's because it's not me saying it, it's a spoken word program saying it with some distortion, because it's intentionally supposed to sound glitchy, because the series is called 'Son Of A Glitch'. So yeah…

    • @MaskedMammal
      @MaskedMammal 9 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      A+Start I've just always wondered why that sounds so strange, since the 'glitchiness' of that bit isn't quite clear. It just sounded like a bad recording. Glad to have that cleared up though~

    • @koopakape
      @koopakape 9 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Yeah i agree actually. I love these vids but the intro is tbh pretty corny and off. It'd be better if it was just a 'glitchy' version of your own voice, like as simple as you saying the whole sentence "Son of a glitch!" and simply editting the "glitch" to be all chunked up like a robot having an error or whatever, y'know? The random smooth girl-bot voice totally doesn't work lol.

    • @Sauraen
      @Sauraen 9 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      hip indeed
      Agreed. I love the series and this doesn't really take away from it, but I might recommend a bitcrushing or fuzz/distortion effect rather than whatever you used there.

    • @MaskedMammal
      @MaskedMammal 9 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Sauraen I'd definitely go for something like that. I mean, it's not much of an issue regardless, but I guess I'm not the only one who couldn't even tell what that was supposed to be. Just recording the whole line and then bitcrushing+distorting the last word would make it a lot more clear.
      Intros aren't a big deal, but they are always the first impression someone gets of your video series and the first thing they see in each new video. Having a good intro helps reinforce the amount of effort that goes into all other aspects of these videos.

    Cool video man. I actually found a minor glitch today while playing the SNES version with my son. In the area where you get the blue cane, just run across the spikes allowing it to damage your health. Pick up the big gray block that is at the end of the spikes. If you have a fairy in your bottle, you will come back to life and be carrying the block, but you can move around freely instead of being stuck in once place like you would normally when lifting a giant block.

  • @Nyarth128255
    @Nyarth128255 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I'm happy someone else did that Mirror Reset Curse glitch finally (nickname I found for it) the last one in the video. I researched it so much and did it for ages XD I restored Link to his normal sprite, I got the normal Mirror Shield and normal Gold Sword, I also got about 7.5 hearts too (and once you start collecting heart containers, they fix the hearts problem...kind of.
    The rainbow armor Link is wearing is literally just that -- it's a buggy suit of armor that wasn't supposed to exist. The hex address, if I remember right, has been changed to a value that it shouldn't get.
    00 = Green Mail
    01 = Blue Mail
    02 = Red Mail
    55 = Purple / Ghost Mail (one I found, basically an upgrade of the Red Mail)
    and this rainbow mail is some other two digits that the game randomly entered when the screen exploded.
    Now soldiers will steal full hearts from Link, and all the enemies that took 1/4 of a heart (like bees and bats) as well as enemies that took two hearts (like crabs, pikits, green bomb droppers and brown arrow-shooting monsters) will not hurt Link, he just bounces off of them.
    Enemies that took three hearts (like the bomb cyclops and the blue muncher things) will only take a 1/2 heart (as if getting attacked normally by a soldier or something).
    If you toss items into the Waterfall of Wishing, you can lose them forever. A couple of them can be regained and / or transformed into Pieces of Heart, and when you get them back, their sprites in the menu will be fixed.
    If you make the Lamp disappear forever, for example, then the shining light sprite will be frozen in a random location in dark rooms.
    You won't actually lose the item you threw; you'll lose a dIFFERENT item. Like, throwing a "titan's mitt" sprite (which is really the Fire Rod) actually makes Link lose the lamp, and restores the normal Fire Rod sprite. It also gives him a Piece of Heart, which becomes a Heart Container (this glitch automatically sets Pieces of Heart to 3/4)
    Anybody want more details, let me know, kuz I'm all typed out XD

    Very interesting glitches and video!
    I learned of the Chris Houlihan room when I was young, in an issue of Nintendo Power. Houlihan won a contest which gave him a room with his name inside the game. You can access it as soon as you have the Pegasus boots by running from either the church, or from Kakariko north entrance as fast as you can, and dropping into the Castle basement. If you were quick enough you fall in there. I've heard it also works by falling inside a specific hole in Ganon's tower.
    So, I wonder how it relates to what you said, that it can be caused by messing up the coordinates... I hadn't heard or seen that before.
    I know of another weird glitch inside the snes version. It's called *"The ghost of Misery Mire"*. I remember it had to do with an invisible enemy that doesn't actually have a sprite and acts in a different behavior than anything else in the game!! You can come in contact and be hurt by it, sometimes, when you walk in the Misery Mire, on one specific screen. You should look it up! I read that a long time ago on the web, and there was research done on it with "Hyrule Magic", with many pictures included. Really special.

    There's another glitch in the GBA version- the "fake dark world" works differently if you save and use the "Continue from Saved Place" option. You can explore a lot more of the actual dark world early that way, plus you can get an effect where everything remains dark world-ish no matter what you do, except that the light world music plays (and you have to use the mirror twice to get to the light world).
    Also, if you're in the fake-ish dark world and go to where the frog is south of the village, it'll load the behavior for the blacksmiths from inside the blacksmith house, and they can even temper your sword there. And they use pig guard heads for bodies / hammers.

    @SkyTheLeafeon 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    That last glitch from the GBA version has to do with a pretty heavy case of memory corruption. It overwrites a *major* portion of the game's memory - specifically the values that determine how many Rupees, bombs and arrows the player has, as well as their hearts and magic meter, and it pretty much completely obliterates the player's inventory, replacing nearly all of the items with invalid (glitched) ones that don't exist. This also explains why Link looks so weird even after saving and resetting (invalid gear) - and the weirdness with the colors *before* resetting has to do with PALRAM, a portion of the GBA's RAM that handles palette and color info, which also gets completely screwed up.

    For the exploration glitch in the beginning, just out at Aghanim's first battle (or right before it) and beat him and it displays a message about getting the moon pearl hinting at the dark world being more connected to overworld
