Hey guys, sorry it been such a long time, this one was a real project, some tricky stuff. But its a long episode, so hopefully that makes up for it. Check out some to these guys from the Link's Awakening Speedrun community, they are really breaking this game down. Amazing to see!

Omg! I remember back in the 90s on the original version on GB when I was in grade school I accidentally did this glitch that freaked out the screen. It was a hole filled version of those occasional old Mario (vertical) screens, and it would send to various random spots. I didn't know how to make it happen purposely then, but would try to explore as much of the glitch room(s) as I could. It's actually pretty dope how some of the other old glitches like the Bow Wow skip still work.
@@michaelbytner9346 A lucid dream is a dream in which you're aware you're dreaming, and commonly have special powers, such as being able to fly or run extremely fast. If Link's Awakening is Link's dream, then using glitches is like using your special powers in a lucid dream.
Really surprised they programmed this game in a way that allows for walking on top of trees. Also interesting to see the skips that come about when a 2D game is remade in 3 dimensions.
I assume you're able to walk on top of objects because it's a required mechanic in Eagles Tower with the colored switches. Still a bit strange that it works for other objects, and honestly it might have been a way for them to just need to program object collision generically and use it for all the trees, walls, and other obstacles.
@mateus53415 The question is, did they program the hitboxes this way in preparation for Echoes of Wisdom, or were they inspired for the EoW mechanic by these glitches?
7:45 "and with the correct timing on this, you'll actually knock the fox off the ladder with your shield"... just imagine how damn weird that sounds in real life! XD
Yo, if you ever go to college, don't forget that you can glitch the algorithm that determines the amount of money you owe in student debt by placing an office chair on top of a desk, standing in it, and spinning! The developers never intended for you to do this and for some reason, spinning while your Y coordinate is so high up compared to the floor causes an overflow and a jump in memory that messes with the values that determine your cost of tuition. Try it!
There's also a glitch in most libraries. If you shimmy against a bookshelf, physics get confused with you touching so many physics objects at once that you can clip through the bookshelf and any adjacent walls to the other side! I don't recommend this one though as there's a chance you could end up in the BackRooms with no way out.
I've been watching son of a glitch since I was young and now that I'm older I just want to say thank you for all the glitchy goodness that you've been making for years. *thank you!*
Hey A+Start, are you okay? It might just be me but it sounds like you’re straining your voice to be louder or peppier. You can really tell this in the first glitch segment where you change from strained peppy voice to normal with the line “why not”. Personally it sounds too strained or forced and I prefer the more normal voice delivery.
Amidst all the panic going on the world, nothing calms the nerves more than some old fashioned Son of a Glitch. But in all honesty, I hope everybody stays safe during these times.
It’s really not just a slightly worse flu. It’s much more infectious than the flu and is new, so it doesn’t have a vaccine or anything like the flu. Additionally, symptoms become noticeable only after the virus has infected some of your body, letting victims still infect others while not knowing that they have the virus. It also lasts much longer-a few weeks, maybe more, maybe less with worse conditions, such as a fever of 103-104, nausea, shortness of breath, and a terrible sore throat. So yeah, it really isn’t a slightly worse flu.
its nice to see you putting detailed credits for the glitch hunters who discovered all these glitches. being recognized for your contributions to a game's speedrun route or pool of strats is a great feeling, and i reall hope you'll continue to be this diligent when crediting glitch hunters moving forward!
A lot of the random/useless glitches were a lot of fun, thanks for keeping them in. While speed running and skipping is cool, I enjoy the random stuff too.
Actually, if he actually had an actual script, he actually should have searched for the actual word actual and replaced or actually removed at least an actual three quarters of them... actually.
So, when I played through Link's Awakening DX, I thought you were supposed to walk on top of the orange and blue panels that are triggered by the crystal switches to get to other areas. This was the first time I ever played Link's Awakening, so I thought it was a normal mechanic of the game. Cool to see that it's a glitch, or at least part of one.
I just wanted to say you’re one of the best and most dedicated TH-camrs I’ve ever seen. Your content is always the highest quality and super enjoyable. Keep kicking ass!!
Neat to see you back! Seems like there's plenty of glitches, but not too many that are too new. I look forward to the next crazy glitched game people end up routing. Somehow, LoZ games often end up as those sorts of games....
It’s pretty neat that some of these exploits-most notably, getting atop the trees-were made into intended gameplay mechanics in Echoes. After BotW and Tears, the development philosophy very much seems to be about giving you as a player general tools that can be combined in powerful ways, and letting you explore and solve puzzles in ways the team could never have foreseen.
This is amazing, those trees definitely didn't need tops, the collision could have just extended upwards infinitely. It's oversights like that that make for great speed runs :)
Hey, this is TotallyNotT3mmie. A really fun way to use that power holding glitch is to get it in the Evil eagle fight! You can see a bad video of it in my channel back when I thought that it was useful in that fight. Now it’s just kinda a way to make the fight harder.
Fun fact for the original links awakening on game boy/Gameboy color Hold the left right and down key, then charge a spin attack. Results vary depending on which version
@@timohara7717this vídeo is way too focused on Speedruning, the series is supposed to be about bugs and glitches in general, not just Speedruning ones

A+Start I thought you were gone... thank god ur not cause I love ur videos. Keep up the good work!
It’s about damn time this series had another episode
Luke Murphy yeah
I’ve been waiting so long for another son of a glitch episode
The Legend of Glitches: A+Start's Awakening

Thank you this is amazing.

PUT YOUR HANDS TOGETHER IF YOU WANT TO CLAP AS WE TAKE YOU THROUGH THIS GLITCHY RAP
The transitioning between each glitch is amazing!
Beautiful
I've seen u on another comment section before
Yusuf Rahman no that was actually Gamer 0207
I still can't get over those clean transitions. It feels official!
Why not man?
I prefer the old way for me it feels weird.
23:12 "Did you die?"
Link, holding his shield: Unfortunately, yes... *_but I LIVED!_*
But i (it) refuse
@@olegultra5672 But it refused*
If you're everywhere, does that mean I am too?
@@rysea9855 I would like to recreate 2 references at the same time
Hi AgAiN
Still can't believe they made a remake of this game and didn't call it something like *_Link's Reawakening_*

*yes*
That would be a good name for a sequel

I just like to watch.
Same here
@@zachatck64 Have you met Christopher Moon?
@@red_gentleman5091 yep, multiple times
Wow, this game isn't too old, you've already got half an hour of glitches? That's incredible! Great job.

Yeah, I noticed that too.
This voice sounds somewhere between his normal voice and the stereotypical “WUSS POPPIN my gamers, welcome back to another EPIC FORTNITE VIDEO!”
Came here to see if anyone else noticed lol
Yeah, I had to lower my volume by like 50%
Agreed. I find it really off-putting, almost obnoxious, just how _forced_ his voice sounds in this video.
Amidst all the panic going on the world, nothing calms the nerves more than some old fashioned Son of a Glitch.
But in all honesty, I hope everybody stays safe during these times.
COVID-19 is literally just a slightly worse flu. We will live.
Hi there again, Luna.
Don’t worry, we gamers are always safe.

11:05 "Wallriding Glitch"
*Outlast intensifies*
Sounds like a Tony Hawk's Pro Skater glitch.
Yay! Finally! We can bring out Marin’s dark side!
Is it just me, or is Andy yelling his dialogue for most of this video?
Spike Contrairadox yeah kinda weird I don’t like it lol
That's what I was thinking!!
For real, what the fuck is he doing?
It feels like he's reading a script to me from across the street.
Actually, if he actually had an actual script, he actually should have searched for the actual word actual and replaced or actually removed at least an actual three quarters of them... actually.
Nice to hear your voice again and see Son of a Glitch continue
Love the new visuals for introducing every glitch!
2:00 "On top of the tree, obviously not something suppose to happen usually"

'Is surprisingly very simple'
We were on the verge of greatness. We were this close.
It's time once again...
To bring out my switch and start to pause the video over and over again.
lol
finally he's back
I just wanted to say you’re one of the best and most dedicated TH-camrs I’ve ever seen. Your content is always the highest quality and super enjoyable. Keep kicking ass!!
I like how much high effort this video feels! the transistions of each glitch with a little splash card and credits is SOOO lovely!
I haven’t seen you in literal years, this Video popped up in my recommended, it’s nice to see this channel still make content,
Andy!! The aesthetics and visuals of this video are especially delicious. Great work and as always, I can't wait for the next one.
Why does it sound like he’s shouting in a wind tunnel?
This was a great video! I never knew Link was so good at parkour :D Also, always great to hear the classic "Pull out a bomb" again :D
I love the focus on speedrunning glitches, it's so cool to see where exactly the glitches are practical!
Where's the "Son of a glitch" at the start of the video?
i think someone got mad because it sounded like 'son of a b-'
@Idc huh? who's getting wooshed
@Idc OOOOHHHH, thought you were talking about me, but yeah, it does almost sound like it
I like the "chapter" style intros. Looking classy. Worth the extra editing time for the boost in professionalism
A+start is back!!!!!! The funny thing is that links awakening was the first video I watched from you. It all comes full circle 🤣
Wait what the?! Literally as I was getting out of the shower 10 minutes ago, Ballad of the Wind Fish randomly popped up in my head!!
That means you are psychic. PLEASE! Tell me tomorrow's winning lotto numbers! 😭
@@brendan9734 hahahaa well I won't know unless I get out of the shower again I guess!!
Watching this with my Link's Awakening amiibo. Quarantine has driven me insane.
This video reminded me that I haven't watched enough of Link's Awakening speedrun, the tricks are great, especially stuff like the Hinox Yeet
10:20 Dude, Link is *_zooming_* through this dungeon, might as well call him the Green Blur, we don't need Sonic anymore
*_EVERYWHERE!!!!_*
you posted twice
(When you post twice cuz you commented before you finished the vid)
You can see how much effort u put into this, i love this Channel and i pove the video u make thank you!
18:21 I finished this game, and this is the first heckin time I see bomb arrows in it xD
26:54 with this glitch Link can SPEEEN
Vinny? Is that you?
WOW, the sheer enthusiasm with this one is unreal!
"It's almost like link doesn't exist anymore, kinda like a dream I guess"
mmmm thats a deliciously sneaky reference, well played
Son of a glitch. Son of a pitch. SON OF A BI-
Great video! Really liked the presentation on this one, looked very clean
This episode is so well made! Great job 👍
Love me some awesome glitches

30 minutes long? Hell yeah I'm hyped for this
Very well made video. Worth the wait, as always
Oh Hello Mr.Glitcher
I am Happy to see this game as a Glitch Episode. Thank you!
You are the Master of the Glitches!
thank you. this video was extremely helpful to me while starting to learn LAS any%.
It's good to see you again, man. I've really missed this series!
Devs be like: "What's an invisible wall?"
nice to see you back
Great to have you back, love son of a glitch.
I haven't been so happy to see an upload in awhile.
The second hinox throw feels like an oot setup
oh God, how much i miss that voice, glad you're back!
the glitch with the raft happened to me (unintentionally), you can actually leave the minigame just walking to an island and using your ocarina!
OH MY GOD HE’S BACK AGAIN
GLITCHMAS WASN’T FALSE HOPE!
Love to see A+Start back in the sub box:)
25:21 Ah yes, I actually found this glitch during my 1st run through Hero Mode that I’m currently doing. Son of a Glitch.
