Something I find wild about this game is that literally EVERY SINGLE SCREEN has unique music. Even the screens you are on for 5 seconds tops have a music track made for them that plays nowhere else.

It's like they played two hours of various B-list NES platformers, then set out to make the best game they could with no further idea of what a good video game entails

A hand mirror is thrown at a doorway hard enough to shatter the casing and the glass. Link walks through that door nonchalatnly 0.1 seconds later looking like he's had six drinks and a joint and just goes "hey what's happening"

Maybe I am not being super observant but what about this game is, like, awful? It looks like an extremely serviceable licensed game, nothing about it seems particularly jank.

So far we've had two hilariously bad games, two normal kinda bad games and a game that's ridiculous on purpose

This game has so much good stuff in it! What is up with all these Actually Good games in the Awful Block this year?

The first few levels look genuinely miserable to play but then it gradually turns into an experimental indie project circa 2011 with a AAA budget

Now we've emerged from a Cronenberg/R-TYPE flesh dungeon into a distinctly bombed-out looking cityscape, and back down into some caves

This would be very harrowing and evocative but I have a hunch it's all just whatever they felt like creating that day, thrown together in no particular order

in the code link is not holding a rock, he is holding an address where rock lives. rock got evicted at a bad time because the game thought the rock was very far away. but link still had an address to SOMETHING UNDEFINED (evil, evil, evil). it turned out to be a bush, but not really a bush, but the game really wanted to treat it like a bush and in doing so it overwrote a pointer/address on the not-bush with link's angle data, and when the not-bush's pointer was called by the code that thought it was a real bush to rotate and be drawn it for a single frame, due to the data about links angle and file name data being identical to an address to a different bit of code that when run caused links data to get overwritten by the debug file, gave link everything in the game.

its very wicked and sinful

I've only done amateur tinkering but I guess this is why <null> is an object type, instead of being null in a more literal sense. Terrifying vistas of reality Man was not meant to behold, etc.

as much as i like oot, its optimized runs have become a story of manipulating data to get to the end. this wasn't really finale worthy but at least i still got wowed by some of the new tricks.
