Man, this is just in time, as I checked my Youtube subscriptions the other day to see what SwordlessLink was up to. For those not aware, he also does Zelda glitch- and speedruns because I can never get enough of them. Turns out he had started up an older seemingly abandoned Let's Play Majora with glitches LP again, and I watched the first unseen episode. Which was okay but I felt like he didn't have much fun doing it, and he's always doing poo poo live so a lot of the tricks can go wrong and it was just not that enjoyable.

Now this shows up (finally!), and you say "ah MM is not nearly as interesting as OoT" and then you do all of these things :allears:. And the videos are just so far nicer to watch!

Though I guess SwordlessLink did show the Fourth Day glitch and how to get to Gyorg from the first room of the temple. Which probably are spoilers for this LP :smuggo:.

It's too bad you get the Great Fairy Sword so late in the game because there's really nothing left to use it on. The only boss left is Majora and if you're doing all Masks, you'll have Fierce Deity for that.

Speaking of which, what damage value are associated with the Fierce Deity's Sword and the little buzzsaws it throws out? Is it 4 or 5?
You can carve up a bunch of minibosses with it, though. That's nice. And you can always refight bosses if you want to!

Oh, and I tried to remember the Great Bay miniboss' name during the vid, but I failed. Then as I went to sleep that night, I remembered! ...the German name. From the mentioned guide. It's Warzenauge! Wart-eye!

The Fierce Deity Sword is as strong as the Great Fairy Sword, 4 damage for slashes, 8 for jump attacks. The energy saws it throws do 6 damage, so stronger than any slash but not stronger than jump attacks. You can shoot them so fast though so they usually kill faster.


The German boss names are pretty good, I'm pretty sure you've mentioned some before? I love them all.
I think I listed all the OoT boss subtitles in that thread, yeah. The MM ones aren't too exciting. To recall:

Willenloser Dschungelkrieger Odolwa (mindless jungle warrior)
Stählerner Alptraum Goht (steel nightmare, okay that one owns)
Versklavter Wächter der Meere Gyorg (enslaved guardian of the seas, gently caress you anyway, should have been called Fickfisch)
Seelenlose Wüstenkriecher Twinmold (soulless desert creepers)

I looked up the other miniboss names and they're eh. "Zaurob" for wizzrobe is pretty funny (portmanteau of Zauberer and Robe, wizard and robe, so very faithful), the eye is apparently official just "Die Warze" (the wart), and the Gekko's (the frog miniboss of great bay) bubble is called "Schizo-Schleim" (schleim = slime) :v:.

Can you burn gibdos in A Link to the Past with the lantern in some way? I'm 100% certain the fire rod and bombos medallion instantly kills them and does not reveal a skeleton.
Whoops, you are right and I misremembered. You can reveal the Stalfos as early as Link's Awakening, though, in the Oracles too, Minish Cap and Link Between Worlds (maybe I confused those ones with LttP's).

Haha all the hearts are amazing!

I just remembered when watching the Snowhead episode how boring the English temple names are in comparison to the German ones. So I'm going to drop more translation poo poo on you. The temples in German are named:
  • Dämmerwald (Dusk Woods)
  • Pic Hibernia (Hiberna is Latin for "winter camp", but you probably figured that from "hibernating")
  • Schädelbucht (skull bay :black101:)
  • Felsenturm (rock tower :effort:)

I especially liked the part where you played the game wrong.

What I meant to ask a long time ago but kept forgetting: are there any entry-level glitches and techniques you could recommend people new to the whole "breaking games" thing? I'd say the goron bomb hop over fences should be easy enough to replicate, for example, with possibly great results; not on 3DS though, as you mentioned. Or warping to unactivated owl statues (does that work on 3DS?). I don't know how easy bomb hovering actually is, in contrast, or if storing the song of time is actually worth it to casually break a few things (tbqh after a while you lose track of what you did for what reason; was it really a huge skip, or did you HAVE to do it because you had overwritten your hookshot with the deku princess or whatever???).

The discussion of familiarity with motion in different games struck home pretty hard for me; I grew up on Mega Man and I definitely have trouble in Super Mario or 3D Zeldas.

I do have to say though that your Zora handling is actually really great; seeing you blaze around and corner with Zora form is something that makes me want to play Majora's Mask more than really anything else I see about it.
Funnily enough, I only started playing Mega Man 2008ish. My first extensively played console game was Yoshi's Island though, and that is no comparison to normal Mario jump mechanics. I played Super Mario World after YI and was like "why the gently caress is it so hard to make Mario do what I want to; also I want to flutter, like, always".

Mega Man clicked with me a lot because it is really mechanically predictable and controllable. Mario, unless you spend a LOT of effort (or had ample practice as a kid), is very hard to get consistent results with.

Goht 3DS wasn't as fun as Goht 64, but overall not too bad. You could make an argument that Odolwa 3DS was better, though I missed him dancing in his idle stance. That puts them head and shoulders above Gyorg and Twinmold 3DS.
Gyorg 3DS is good because it's not Gyorg 64. I would rather fight Ornstein and Smough and Ornstein and Smough than Gyorg 64 though, so take that with a grain of salt (also, say it 10 times fast!). And Twinmold 3DS owns what is wrong with you.
