5:32 And on that day, Ghirahim realized he could've used his longass tounge to pick up the sword the whole time instead of trying to walk toward it.
Me during the video: COOL! COOL! COOL! COOL! COOL! *Starts explaining back in time* WHAT?!?!?!?!
+Rohan Sinha That was me all day.
I had an headace !
ikr
+Rohan Sinha Ikr my brain is fried now @-@
+Rohan Sinha That last Glitch gave me my Present headache that I got back in the Past.
Not only can I not follow hardly any of the Back in Time glitch explanation, I don't understand how it was even possible for anyone to work out how to do it. Those instructions are some of the most specific and random conditions for a glitch I've ever heard of.
Heh, a Link
millions of people playing the game, eventually it happens by accident, makes it to reddit, then hundreds of people start to experiment over the course of weeks to even months.
Son Of A Glitch is like a Mage from Mage: The Awakening.
Going game over, going back to title and then immediately resetting is something I think speedrunners would do at some point, discovering the glitch.
from then on, it's lots of reverse engineering and experimenting
It froze my wii
Can't even pretend that I understand what the hell was going on for BiT
10 minute explanation of Back in Time, "its not as complicated as it seems"
+Baladucci got my clit stuck in a blender
hey
my brain just died from back in time...
Same
+Caleb Jay P That's good! Now all you need to do is reset and while the new brain is loading *Brain turns to mulch"*
+Caleb Jay P My brain WENT back in time!
+Caleb Jay P BUILD UP SPEED FOR OVER 12 HOURS
+Caleb Jay P Time travel is hard.
DidYouKnowGaming sent me. Wait...
I was sent by Theonlymcmutant lives pandas and video games. Wait.....
What
Well this is strange, (@ _@)
I hate that guy...oh wait. Well this is awkward...
Just joking. I love your channel. Cheers
+DidYouKnowGaming? I was wondering why both of you came out with the same topic I was like " LAW SUIT!!!!"
I think my brain broke a little with all of that BiT stuff.
Props to you, my man, for being able to pull all of this off and managing to explain what was going on.
It seems that the force is strong within Link, for he is a SKYWALKER !
best pun
Nice.
AHHHH!!!! *mind explodes
OH COOOME OOON
OH MY GOD... *Backs away from computer* I'm done. I'm so done. I'm done with TH-cam. Cancelling all subscriptions. Discontinuing all uploads and accounts of mine. That's it.
*watches BiT part*
...My head hurts.
Misaki-tan same would take some time to pull off the glitches successfully
heheheh...time...XD
Misaki-tan mine too lol once I got to the end I was like how to do the back in time glitch again?!!
how do people find this shit?! this and watch for rolling rocks
I know right?
I've never felt sorry for a game before. But I really do think that Skyward Sword is screaming for you to stop torturing it with Back in Time...
XDDDD
Lol you should see the stuff they're doing with that glitch in speedruns recently
Luna17 17 my question is how did someone figure out back in time?
@@Ariana_shingleton
I guess maybe someone fell off a cliff and then ragequit. If you void out and reset the game on the same frame. I guess it makes sense that it would happen eventually.
Look at this to see how: th-cam.com/video/l6J0P2OCi5g/w-d-xo.html
If you followed all this you could become a rocket scientist...
Sam Vermeulen I followed all of it. Just call me Einstein!! I just don't understand how people figure out how to do these except the stuck in sky on at #2 I accidentally did a while ago.
Moriah Mantelli all right. Hi Einstein! How are you today?
Sam Vermeulen very good thanks!
@@moriahbaughman3931 Einstein wasn't a rocket scientist. Von Braun was.
@@SunTzuMedia He said you COULD become a rocket scientist, not you WILL become a rocket scientist
While Back in Time was being explained, the only thought running through my head was: ...what?
Really guys,when he was explaining Back in Time,it was perfectly understandable
+N64 gaming Probably because you have more experience with it! I have never heard so much instruction in my life!
+GamingYugi That might be a bit of an exaggeration...
@@gamingyugi8673 u crazy bruh?
I could understand it just fine but there is no way I'm trying that
"Link will simply jump through the wall"
The lengths this man will go to for a nap.
I don't care that this game didn't have a fully open world, it has the best dungeons in the entire series. Hands down.
That is something I have to agree with you on, even though I prefer Twilight Princess
+Evenmoresteven I liked the dungeons as well, also the beetle is awesome. Only problems are awkward controls, which I eventually got over, and the TEARS, I could handle 1 trial, maybe 3 if they were different, but the fact that you have to do the tear thing 3 times if you can even complete the first 2 trials... too bad this didn't mention a glitch to skip the trials. What is your opinion on them? Though I loved everything else in the game besides those 2 things.
WolfWhiteFire I thought the tear trials were fine. They definitely got your blood pumping when you were being chased by those giant sword guys. I liked them better than the stupid insect tear quests in twilight princess. They did kind of feel like padding though, I could have done without them.
+Evenmoresteven I disagree. Goron Mines and City in the Sky are definitely my favorite dungeons in the series. Skyward Sword did have pretty good dungeons though.
alex pendygraft I agree but I like twlight story
The bit with Ghirahim made my brain instantly start going "Walk, walk, fashion baby..." Am I the only one? Yes? No?
...I'm probably the only one...
Now I'm just straight up imagining Ghirahim catwalking with that in the background
Someone put "Staying Alive" on to appeal Ghirahim's sassy walk
Nah me too 💅
3:19 Link is just giving Goku his energy for the Spirit Bomb
+SirTonSquared HAHAHAHAHA
SirTonSquared No he is making the spirit bomb
ive never loved a comment so much before
Geez, 2011, where does time go. I honestly thought this came out 3 years ago... just like I thought TP wasn't old.
Sounds like you need to go.... back in time
But... I'm not Link.
+Ryan Anderson Makes you think, its been 5ish years since the last major LoZ release, the longest break between large titles.
Gotta love me some file corruption madness.
No idea what you were talking about in BiT but it's awesome!
"But first we need to talk about parallel universes."
you've made my day xD
"We have to build time for 12 hours"
I'm currently replaying Skyward Sword. This is perfect timing.
0:11 "it's not as glitchy as some Zelda games" it's a 19 minute long video lol.
Makinator51 well 8 of those minutes is for 1 glitch
When BiT was explained: "can you repeat that? I wasn't listening."
This show never ceases to amaze me.
I'm not used to hearing Ghirahim's name prounounced any other way that isn't, "gear-a-him"
I like it.
Maybe, “Geer-a-hime?” How it is spelled, yes, but he does this a lot with things in these videos. For example, in the Metroid video, he calls Samus a “he.”
So... SS link is also a hero of time?
Vanossgaming Fan37 Well not as duh as you would think. Only link from oot and mm is the hero of time. Ss link is the chosen hero
Ayyyyyyy
@@YourAverageLink SS Link is also known as the Hero of the Skies :)
Deeeeeeep
You tricked me into coming to this video you son of a glitch
"Back in Time" sounds like a stand name/stand ability from JoJo (Back to the Future ftw XD)
This is Killer Queen's Third Bomb: BITES THE DUST. **click**
KILLA QUEEN: DAISAN NO BAKUDAN
BITES ZA DUSTO
Right when he started talking about 'Back in Time' my brain just thought he was talking gibberish
Wow I never knew you could do so much with the Back In Time glitch.
How does anyone even figure out back in time? Not understanding it but figuring out that glitch.
Can imagine this actually being one of the more easier glitches to figure out. Doesn't require any random stuff like "walk in this specific corner in this exact angle" or anything. Just someone who thought "I wonder what happens, when I reset the game while a safestate is about to load"
Idk probably datamining. I can see this being really hard to find out normally. Like, i understand how people find out of bounds, since clipping through walls is basically guaranteed in any game. I mean, even SMB3??? you can clip through walls in SMB3!!! In the devs defense, however, collision is probably hard to make secure. theyre bound to slip up here and there. But then how do you find the BiT glitch? Definitely not by accident and not from "expirementing" (e.g humping walls). Which makes me think it was datamining. Thank you for coming to my ted talk
The Zelda speedrunning community found that glitch, and they're the ones that make use of it. They figured out how to use BiT to complete Skyward Sword in a little over one hour.
I seriously doubt any regular players would make use of BiT, because it's just ridiculous.
Gymnast86
@@Amy-si8gqyes, I know it’s four years old, but whatever. Somebody literally just voided out in twilight princess, and then reset their game. (This glitch happens in wind waker, twilight princess, and skyward sword)
The way you say Ghirahim freaks me out a little... That's the first time I heard someone pronounces it that way.
Animations, images, fonts...
A LOT of work went into this video. I appreciate that! It looks so great!
I swear the BiT part sounds like a troll walkthrough because of how hyper-detailed it is.
Am I the only one that didn't have ANY problems with the controls in this game?
+Wim Pie Saus Nope! I had hardly any problems what-so-ever! My friends, and even my sister who is usually more pro at Zelda games than I, but had problems with this game, would watch me play and just go, "Wait, how did you do that so easily?! It took me forever to do that!" Yeah, one part that gave my sister a headache, and actually required my helping her was the Eldin Trial to get the Fire-shield Earrings. She said she had tried it like thirty times. I played for her...and nailed it on the first shot! The only part that REALLY gave me a headache was defeating Ghirahim the third time! THAT was a nightmare for me!
+19TheFallen The controls are easy in that game, people just hate motion controls. You don't have to swing very far or very hard
EpicLink 22 Yeah, I felt that way about the controls too! It takes a little getting used to, but if you play long enough and adjust your play style just right, it really is easy!
Koen Evers I think ppl bitch about it because of their motion black thing setup. I have it above my TV in a good place so it is easy to use.
DarkmoonBlade Mine is below the TV
I've NEVER had ANY problems with the controls. I've heard many say that. The controls aren't bad.
+Linkaru The controls work perfectly. Like I've said many times, it's a vocal minority.
+Linkaru not even the skyward strike? it took me forever to get it going the first time.
Petsinwinter I don't think so. Not 100% sure though, it's been quite some time. But everything else worked perfectly fine.
+Linkaru I heard more people complain about the game being too linear
+skyguys linear....the fire temple was not linear.....
This last glitch is really hard to follow.
Link putting his hands up like he's giving his power to Gokus spirit bomb lmao
+Sebi Link should honestly be in Dragon Ball. His screams are worthy of a power-up.
Sebi Link:"HARAA"(I'll give you my energy!)
Jeez That was insane. That back in time glitch tho.
Who the hell figures that "Back in Time" glitch out?
May I just say.......
WHO THE F FOUND THE BACK IN TIME AND Y DID THEY THINK TO DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!
TheGhostCat b There are professional Glitch hunters who spend time probably streaming to find glitches like this.
The person probably thought "wonder what would happen if i reset on a continue" and then maybe other people found the variations of it
Because the moon is going to crash
there was a very similar glitch in the wii version of twilight princess
"What happens if I continue AND reset at the same time?"
"..."
"What"
9:50 oh, so the black one creeps you out, huh?
OH DAMN!
***** *might have*
***** trust me, realize that.
I absolutely adore this game. It's my favourite Zelda game after Links Awakening. Yep.
+Outside998 why
chande lier
Because I like it, that's why.
b-but what about the oracle games?
I mean, at least we're not talking about parallel universes
Back in time glitch made me so confused
"Lets see my sub box... A A+Start video? Well, today is good."
an A+Start*
who the hell finds out this stuf
Someone who's REALLY bored.
probably the glitch hunting comunity
actually i found four of these by accident, it's funny to try things like "oh! a fence, jump on it!" "EHTMAHGERD get the kitty !" plus i've had fun with ghirahim and dived on skyloft.
Simon Koetsier weird people like meh
Mykasan I dived on the loading zone glitch the first day it came out lmao that one was easy to find if u fly like a dumb person like me
I AM: so excited for the remake that im rewatching every old video on SS
I love how when you say glitch it sounds all glitchy now. I love little details like that.
I always love your videos. It would be nice if you did the occasional video for hidden gems from time to time. I feel like something awesome, such as Burning Rangers would be ripe for breaking and also introduce people to the series.
Keep up the good work!
Gear-RAH- him? We pronounce it GEAR-uh-him.
I pronounce it Griga-ham.
The real Hero of Time.. SS Link
Hero of all time at his fullest demise was probably ALOT stronger than any form of ganon and link was
still the same
omg THANK YOU FOR THE WATER TEMPLE GLITCH! I just did it and got the whip and beat the boss all in like 10 mins. That dungeon took me FOREVER the last time I played through this game.
Back in Time looks pretty damn interesting to try out.
I would hate to be the game when someone performs BiT. My processors and memory would probably combust
Games do not have processers
ok boomer
please don’t stack up r/whooooshes this is 4 years old
@@MrShifty1 game consoles do use processors, sir.... 🤦
this game doesn't have bad controls. they work fine with me so I don't know why everyone else has a hard time with them.
ironically i started playing the game and my nunchuck just started holding down so i always run backwards. bad controls ftw
epiccraft1000 That's the controller's fault, not the game's. Get a new nunchuck or just disconnect and reconnect which sometimes works.
your reviving a dead comment
also true
you need wii motion plus BTW
The only problem I had was that the motion controls were always kinda wacky. Like ya know if ur aiming or something like that. Other than that I loovveeddd the game. Great story heartbreaking moments and awesome items.
That tilt part to use the sailcloth is a nightmare.
3:26 He's just happy about the HD version.
I never wanna hear the words back in time ever again
ok so i used to play this game ALL THE TIME and i was searching for glitches. i couldnt find any glitch videos on the internet. i looked again about a month later and i saw this! ive been subbed ever sinse.
0:07 are you serious? This game has the best motion controls in video game history.
I can only recall one condition motion controls were a problem to me
playing that goddess-damned harp
Hugo Fontes have you tried swaying your entire body?
but for me it was the bird that gave me troubles after months of not playing
kirbykane9 the spycrab I actually did and it still sucks
nah, I only had problems flying when I needed really precise moves
Hugo Fontes I just forgot how to quickly acend so I did it manually for 7 hours in total
kirbykane9 the spycrab I'm no sure I should congratulate you on your persistence or just be sorry you took this long to remember
That last glitch
What
I’m so lost lmao
It’s so cool but
That’s such a huge way to break the game lmao
The last one is probably the most complex glitch I have ever seen. o.O
too complex.
+Canica Lopez You haven't seen SMW Credits warp then
+BtheDestroyer The credits warp is hard to understand what's actually happening behind the scenes, but following the steps to perform it is easier to understand than this one.
I've seen it, and you're both right, it's very complex, but the steps are clear.
And now I'm not sure which one is more complex, because in the credits warp you can fail if you're a single pixel to the right/left. :p
Canica Lopez I think that's more specific than complicated, though
"Legend Of Zelda Skyward Sword, often criticized for its controls"
Him: proceeds to show the glitches with criticized controls
At least the HD version has button controls.
Dang this guy spends A LOT of time on videogame glitches. Good work man!
"Garaahim" .-.
it can be said any way he wants to say it...
onemario1234 I know, I'm not hating or anything, it's just funny how Andy pronounce some words like Girahim and ocarina :P
oh. when you put .-. i thought you were saying he said it wrong in a bad way... or something.
onemario1234 k
Onemario1234 Okay, so I can pronounce Zelda as Thsoidjajpcnefmzxdaja, or princess as yqoerjdjn, or sword as ryilojmdoecnm?
Yup, that sounds about poiwewopkd
3:33 link is charging the spirit bomb
DOOM Son of a Glich!!
Me while he is explaining back in time: "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhh...." *zones out*
i went back to this video for nostalgia and omg
If I ever need help falling asleep I can just watch one of these videos
I actually loved Skyward Sword's motion controls, however, I do believe it shouldn't have been forced so hard like it was in-game.
+RoberOnocle Nah it was too easy and could have been somewhat harder...
Andre S Oh, I'm not referring to the difficulty, I'm referring to how the game wants you to use motion controls every 5 seconds.
+RoberOnocle Exactly! It felt too much like one of those Wii motion control party games.
+RoberOnocle exactly part of me thinks is why the game didn't sell as well as others
+RoberOnocle I would get too into it and would swing the wii remote out of the system's vision
I couldn't follow anything you said but that was sweet! xD
I have literally NO idea what just happened. You now have my sub.
BotW Link: “I died and got put into a magical sleep for 100 years, effectively time-traveling!”
SS Link as he kills himself for the 14th time in the run: “Pathetic.”
I think Back in Time should be renamed Bites the Dust. XD
Joseph Ryan another one bites the dust
just use The World :P
You can get to Zelda's room by grappling to the chimney, ther you see Zelda's father taking a bath and if you follow the path you're in you fall into Zelda's room.
This is a way of getting a gratitude orb.
You can also get out of the room and you find everything there is to find
Keke But this is the first time you enter it, thats "from the story".
MARTY! WE NEED TO GO BACK IN TIME!
In Wind Waker after you enter Hyrule, you can perform a strange glitch. Go to the path that leads from Hyrule castle to the entrance to Ganon's tower.
Get one of the Moblins on the path to follow you back to the entrance to the castle.
Get the Moblin between yourself and the doorway, and use your Boomerang to knock it back into the doorway.
Once it's far enough into the doorway it will disappear behind
the black back wall. Pull out your Hookshot and use it on the Moblin to
pull yourself back there too. You're now in the castle...sort of.
Back in time is pretty much Killer Queen’s Bites the Dust Ability in JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure
The way you pronounce Girahim... I'm hurting
+Deostynnator Same here! It's so obviously Gear-ah-him phonetically.
I pronounce it "Gear-ra-heem".
God I love this game
Always bothered me how hilariously poorly the dragons were designed in that game.
This just makes me love girahim even more! XD
*ghirahim
Replaying this on Wii and I had to try the Zelda room glitch, fun stuff.
At 3:20 Praise the Sun!
The lake Floria glitch Works on the HD version i just tested it
Same here.
BiT got VERY strange and confusing
YASS finally, Skyward Sword :D Awesome video, thanks!
The Faron Woods bush glitch is a perfect example of how being empty-handed can be hilarious.
3:22 ...Or maybe he just don't care.
+OrangeKyle91 or big boss teached him some glitches
I'm just wondering how people manage to find these glitches.
+Whiffy5 I don`t think they were found.
I think someone searches in the gamefiles for possible gliches
I think they were just screwing around and found them or were glitch experts or something
+Whiffy5 I found the walking above skyloft glitch by complete accident, I'm surprised to see it here actually
back in time was first found in twilight princess and this has the same engine. then people messed around with it and found quite a few uses.
the others, coincidence mostly. some tail and error.
What I´m thinking about: WHO DISCOVERD THIS ?????
Just subscribed! Keep breaking games, it really cracks me up!
i love that some games have almost no glitches but have that one crazy glitch
There's nothing to legitimately criticize about the controls. They work flawlessly, as long as you calibrate your wiimote every time you start playing. It takes 3 seconds and that's the only explanation for how 0.01% of people say they don't work. Those people must just not calibrate or their Remotes are broken. I (and the vast majority of players) have never experienced any issues whatsoever. This is a classic case of a vocal minority.
Very ignorant to talk down people like that. I bought a Remote Plus with the game when it came out and I had to callibrate it every 20 minutes or less. On top of that, it wouldn't always respond. It definitely wasn't broken, because I still use it in other games and it works perfectly fine. Kind of sad to see people like you tell people like me off simply because I don't have the same experience as you do. Mind you, I love the game.
+ChaosChicken200 Also, quite a few left handed people struggle with the game because, well, we're left handed.
If someone thinks that's a bullshit excuse, go use a pair of left-handed scissors in your right hand, and tell me it's not uncomfortable. It's the same principle here. I either have to play with my right hand, or use my left and adjust for the sword's position, which is extremely funky.
It's not unplayable, but I will certainly _never_ experience the same game mechanics that a right-handed player takes for granted.
+Terra D Serph There should be a customisable option for that. Make it happen, Nintendo. It is easy to do.
ChaosChicken200 Yeah, they were able to make a mirror version for the Wii with Twilight Princess. They could have made a "left-handed" version for Skyward Sword that was literally just a mirror of the game.
+Terra D Serph Seeing as it is likely that Linkle was a teaser to Zelda U having a male and female Link, it would be a shame if they wouldn't make more basic features customisable.
2:07 Link Skywalker (get it? No? ok :'( )
So they basically turned SS into OoT. Jeez guys. it was a good game, but let it go!
NRG Buster Seems legit.
I could feel my brain slowly retracting the longer that Back in Time explanation went on.
in that 1st glitch of getting into Zelda's room early, i would recommend sleeping 'til night (unless you haven't met Batreaux yet) so you can get the 'grabitude crackle' haha, Kukiel's way if saying gratitude crystal is hilarious
