The Legend Of Zelda: Majora's Mask Glitches - Son Of A Glitch - Episode 36

son of a village The Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask this entry in the series sure is a strange one with its oddball characters in this moon always hanging over your head the only thing stranger of the glitches so let's get into it at the beginning of the game you meet the happy mask salesman who quite frankly likes to talk too much but we can skip this cutscene by pausing as we move forwards towards this door to get to clock town bye pause buffering a single frame of animation at a time we can bypass the trigger to load the lengthy cutscene which needs two frames to activate but because we're advancing forward one frame at a time this cutscene won't trigger simply because we never give it that two frame window to activate and so we can get to the door that takes us into Clock Town that bit earlier once we get to clock town usually we'd be stuck here until we turn back into regular link as guards won't let you leave as Deku link but if you face away from this guard in East Clock Town then Z target like this you can get through to termina field by back walking since you're not supposed to be here yet none of the enemies spawn so the area is completely deserted another trick you can use a Deku link is called a gainer which allows you to get some extra height from a backflip to grab ledges you're usually unable to reach z target the wall and then backflip holding down on the analog stick and then tap the a button then immediately retarget and hold forward decking link will now grab a higher ledge if you do this correctly which can be useful in getting up to this platform and getting into the clock tower early skipping the moon's tier to trade to a Deku scrub to reach here once you return to Link's intended form we next need to buy some bombs and it just so happens there's a glitch that can be exploited when buying items the game will allow you to buy items as long as you have the correct amount of money for that item as you purchase it for instance I have a total of 99 rupees and 10 bombs cost 30 rupees and 10 bomb shoes cost 40 rupees I just bought 20 bomb shoes and 10 bombs which should cost 110 rupees but because I purchased the bombs before the rupee counter hit 30 the game lets me buy them as I can still cover the cost you have to buy items very quickly in order for this to work as if you don't have enough rupees when you confirm the purchase say goodbye to those bombs now we have bombs we can check out a returning glitch from Ocarina of Time super sliding to super slide pull out a bomb wait till the third bright flash then back using the Z and a buttons and holding down on the analog stick wait a brief moment and then still holding the Z button roll forward with the a button and impress and hold the R button to shield the bomb if you timed it right link should now begin moving backwards really fast while you continue to hold the R button this is a really cool way to get around and cross large areas quickly by sliding backwards releasing the R button will stop the super slide another return English from ocarina is the infinite sword glitch or is G for sure this is a glitch that causes the hitbox of linked sword to remain in its attacking state or basically link sword is now infinitely swinging you can attack enemies by running into them with IHG and also link can no longer fall from any ledges you can get the infinite sword glitch from signs NPCs or basically anything you can check to get is G stand in front of a sign NPC or checkable asset and press the r button to use your shield then press the B button to Crouch tab then immediately press the a button to interrupt the step link sword should now be going white and you'll have the infinite sword glitch swinging the sword taking damage that stops movement entering water crouching or entering another area will cancel the glitch you can also get IHG from a bomb in the same way as a sign or an NPC pull out bomb and then press the hour button to shield it move back a couple of steps and then press and hold the R button to use your shield then press the B button followed quickly by the a button link should put his sword away and grab the bomb if you see this glow from the sword as its put away you'll know you've got the infinite sword glitch now hold the R button to shield the bomb as it explodes getting damaged by the bomb will cancel the infinite sword glitch the combination of the infinite sword glitch and bombs creates another glitch state called hovering with two main types bomb hovering and bomb two hovering because link cannot fall from a Ledge with the infinite sword glitch we can abuse this by placing bombs backflipping and shielding them which suspends link in the air however if link is still relatively close to the floor he'll default back to ground level to demonstrate bomb hovering we're going to hover over the wall to great bay coast to enter it much earlier than intended without the use of a poner to do this we'll climb the ledge facing away from Great Bay which will give us some height initially to hover over the wall hold down on the analog stick and link will not fall off the ledge because of the infinite sword glitch next pull out a bomb and as it's about to explode backflip the a button while still holding the R button to shield the explosion this will suspend link in the air with some added height repeat this until link is over the wall and then you can enter Great Bay coast early bomb to hovering works in exactly the same way although the execution is slightly different to bomb to hover stand on an edge and then backflip as you backflip pull out a bomb shoot and then immediately hold the R button to shield it this is obviously a faster way of hovering as you don't have to wait for the bomb to to explode another way to skip this wall without the use of Epona is by using the Goron mask as link pull out a bomb and then drop it like so and then put on the Goron mask now press the a button to curl up into a ball and then just as the bombs about to explode tap the B button to pound the ground goryl link will get knocked over from the explosion and you look cleared the wall no problem while this is the easier method of getting to great baekho's too early you can get bombs as soon as you turn back into regular link so hovering is your quickest option another use of bomber hovering is to skip the boulder that blocks the path to Romani ranch and get epona song early usually we'd need the Goron mask and the ability to use powder kegs to blow it up and get through to the ranch to get a powder back but that's not how we get things done we can get the infinite sword glitch from this sign and then we need to angle ourselves so we face the far right side of the boulder and we also need to be at the point where the road slopes this slope will help us get some distance from the ground next we need to pull out a bomb and then as it's about to explode back flip and then backflip again pulling out bomb to and then immediately pressing our you have to have really quick reactions for this and if you pulled it off you'll now be off the ground to continue bomb hovering up to this ledge which funnily enough is solid be sure to slash your sword when you get up here to cancel isg for the next bit head toward the rock then roll to get link to jump and then hold right on the analog stick to land behind the rock thus completely skipping it if you try this make sure you have the bow from the would fall dungeon otherwise you won't be able to finish the go shooting minigame and get a bonus on early if you don't have the bow you can also become swordless link by getting on a pony which leaves the B button blank but as it suggests you won't be able to use your sword so yeah also because you didn't blow up the boulder you won't be able to exit the ranch normally as it's still blocking the way out so you'll have to warp out with the song of soaring or the song of time we have Epona's song we can use Epona in some strange glitches there's a way to ride a pony through clock town simply by having both of the game files reset to the dawn of the first day in the first file save at the owl statue in Clock Town and then quit playing in the second file ride opponents of the owl statue in milk road and then without getting off a poner save the game and quit playing now reopen the first file to find opponent is with you in Clock Town now usually opponent isn't able to enter clock town and the same is true of leaving you'll just get stuck like this as opponent won't write off any of the ledges that exists at every exit saving on a pony with an owl statue has some other strange uses if you save an owl statue quit the game and reopen that same file the see buttons can be used even though they aren't visible on screen for instance we can use the ocarina to walk to areas of the game in some cases areas opponent isn't able to access like mountain village or clock town it's not just items you can use also mask sets of the C buttons can be equipped whilst on Epona often with hilarious results like when you use the Zora mask you'll be placed in the air above a poner but you'll be stuck in one spot while opponent is free to move around since Zora link isn't passing through loading zones you can get behind them and see what's on the other side pressing the a button will actually put Zora link on Epona although not in the way that's intended instead Zora link is placed up in the air as you ride around which quite frankly is a sight to behold this can of course be done with the other masks too here we have goron link riding around in a similar fashion definitely not the right way to ride a horse changing from area to area fixes how you're placed on Epona putting you back where you should be well kinda see Deku link is too small to rider poni so once he's placed where the game thinks he should be he's actually pretty much inside Epona I guess now would be a good time to bring in random animal glitches in Clock Town there's this dog when we need to carry him over to the small pool and drop him next to it now we need to slowly push him toward the pool and just as he drops into it we need to grab him if you timed it well the dog should now be swimming in links hands also you'll notice it slowly glides link along the floor but that should is part of the glitch next we need to take the dog up to a high ledge and then we'll get link to fall off that ledge and grab the sides which takes the dog out of his hands and also makes the dog float he'll float towards the pool to eventually land back in it where the game thinks he should be in Romani ranch is this dog and if you throw him up onto the box at just the right spot then climb up and grab him link will fall and the dog will be inside him how do you like my new mask it's the dog mask this doesn't affect anything it's just funny look at me why won't you love me earlier we got into great babe coasts early and here we need to rescue this guy to get the Zora mask if we grab and push him till he almost reaches the shore it's actually possible to pick him up and carry him on to the beach you need to get into a point where link and stand in the ocean and if you move around till you see the grab icon appear you can pick this guy up and run around on the beach with him this just feels right if you throw him he'll fall through the ground but go to the place where you'd normally speak to him on the beach when you rescue him and his dialog box will appear clearly the game thinks he still needs saving oh well when you eventually get the Zora mask there's a way to make Zora link fly across the ocean to do this run into the ocean until Zora link begins to swim and that's just about the right distance away from the beach to then turn around and press the a button to swim towards it hopefully with the right angle and distance instead of rolling onto the beach Zora link should now begin swimming on it you then need to head back out to sea and tap the a button repeatedly to remain in the air you can use this glitch to get up onto an island that's too high to climb usually if you aim yourself towards the island and then just as you're about to hit it hold left or right on the analog stick Zhora link should grab the ledge and pull himself up normally you'd need the hook shot here to reach a hidden fairy fountain but we can use bomb hovering to get over to the next island to reach it all fairy fountains in the game are on the same map meaning if we can get out of bounds in a fountain we can use an alternative exit to warp ourselves somewhere else in the game with Zora link we can get up onto the pillars using a setup where we target this wall move backwards to a corner and then backflip whilst holding down left to put us on a Ledge if we look to the left using C up and position the camera like this we then just need to roll whilst holding forwards and Zora link should jump from the jump hold forward and to the right and Zora link should grab the ledge now that we're up here get the infinite sword glitch from a bomb and then face in this direction with C up turn 180 degrees and now we can begin hovering out of bounds bombs when we get to this point we need to stop hovering backwards and we need to hover sideways so instead of backflipping and shielding bombs we need to side hop and shield them this is best done with bomb shoes so jump sideways pull out the bomb shoot and then immediately shield the explosion this should carry you over to a solid part of the ground to where you can run around another fairy fountain that's textures aren't loaded but the collision of the walls and floors are always loaded we can now just run to the loading zone of this fairy fountain and it will land us somewhere else in the game there's another more useful way of wrong warping throughout the game and involves owl statues in West clock town you may have noticed an owl statue at the bottom of these stairs which cannot be reached by conventional means as it's on the other side of a load zone but as always there's a way around that we need to get the infinite sword glitch from a sign and then put ourselves on this flowerbed ledge next we'll you see up to position ourselves to get the right angle and direction for a hover now turn around and pull out bomber and begin hovering backwards towards the wall we're going to hover over the wall and around the loading zone and then end up in front of the owl statue this hidden owl statue is fully functioning so if we activate it it's going to help us wrong walk to other locations it's important to note no other house statues anywhere in the game should be active otherwise this glitch won't work this owl statue is just for aesthetic purposes and for that reason has no index within the song of soaring menu so it cannot be warped to with this hidden owl statue now activated we next need the song of soaring and once we have that we can begin to use a glitch called index warping press Start and go to the world map and we should see some places we've already visited if we select Deku Palace and then play the song of soaring another map will appear this map is empty because we haven't activated any other owl statues to walk to but our cursor is on mountain village an area of the game we have yet to visit do not move the cursor on this screen as it will crash the game if we confirm that we want to sort a mountain village that's where the game will send us if it's not already obvious activating the hidden owl statue in West clock town is doing some strange things to the song of soaring map usually when no our statues have been activated we're told you need to activate an owl statue in a particular area to warp there but we activated the hidden owl statue which tells the game at least one owl statue is active on the map which allows us to bring up the song of soaring map since the hidden owl statue doesn't have its own map index the song of soaring map has no location to select instead the game uses the location you put the cursor on the world map as reference to where you could warp but the values of the locations cause you to be sent somewhere completely different in most cases here's a list of world map selections of where there warp you too for instance setting the world map cursor on Goron village and then playing the song of soaring will give us the option to opt a stone tower again a location we won't visit till near the end of the game once we walk there that becomes a location we've visited and becomes an option to place the cursor on the world map strangely enough though selecting stone tower on the world map and then trying to warp there creates unexpected results the cursor will be placed on the map like this and then the game will switch locations to reach Zorich 8 but this is actually going to warp you to dungeon entrance and softlock the game the Z and our buttons can also be selected with the r button sending you to the default Great Bay owl statue and the Z buttons glitches out the map but this is an interesting way to get around the game just bear in mind that activating any other owl statue of this glitch will cancel the effects of index warping probably one of the most known glitches in Majora's Mask is the full stay glitch on the final day head over to the astral Observatory and as time begins to run out a countdown will appear so now we just have to wait I love this guy the world's about to end and he's just like me I don't even I don't even know when you've got 10 seconds left something you can do to make the glitch easier is to play the inverted song of time to slow time down now speak to the professor and look through the telescope when the countdown is at the last 2 milliseconds mash the B button to cancel out of the telescope and the professor will speak to you but the timer has disappeared and the game will not end now time will pass uninterrupted and essentially this is a 4th day speak to the Scarecrow in the basement to advance time forward and if you speak to him a second time a screen that reads dawn of a new day will appear which is something you only see at the end of the game - Theo 72 hours remain before the glitch the creepy moon was ready to destroy Clock Town but now when you look into the sky see that tiny speck yeah that's the moon of course now everything that conveys time will be completely wrong like the gossip stones only 0/20 8 remaining ok good to know when you head into Clock Town the place will be almost devoid of any NPCs except for characters don't have a routine like guards or some of the kids also the dog is still here for some reason even the happy mask salesman has no idea how long you have left only dot hours remain hmm okay when you speak to the mayor of Clock Town he'll have an argument with himself as none of the other characters are present due to the glitch this glitch affects various other elements of the game like the woods of mystery where you can take any path out of order and not get walked back to the beginning due to the nature of the glitch this will prevent you from progressing through the story to the end of the game so to fix it you'll have to reset okay now for a useful glitch in the game you can duplicate bottles to make certain parts of the game easier like having to collect Sora eggs and such to do this first you need to catch something like a fish or a bug then you need to take it to the Curiosity Shop and speak with the owner and given the bottle of item whilst holding the R button and then pressing a to confirm immediately press the start button to bring up your items menu and switch out the bottle with something else you're not likely to use unpause the game and you'll get some rupees finish speaking with the owner and then check your menu to find the item you switch the bottle with has been replaced by another bottle and this glitch can be used to do pass many bottles as you think you might need pretty handy in the milk bar you perform a sound check with all the different mask forms to get the circus leaders mask if you perform links section last and wear the bunny hood a glitch will occur once you receive the mask link will be able to move really quickly when not wearing the bunny hood and then move even faster when you wear it for comparison his link speed in regular play and here's the speed after the glitch and then with the bunny hood kinda reminds me of something [Music] this glitch only works inside the milk bar and as soon as you leave your speed returns to normal if you swim in water with the Zora mask and then use your shield attack with the R button and the B button then take off the Zora mask while in this state the world should now be filled with blue fog the fog makes the game feel very eerie but can easily be fixed by putting on the Zora mask and then using the shield attack once again and the world is back to normal link is the hero of time and thus it makes sense there should be a glitch to stop time for this glitch you'll need a bottle and then catch something inside once you have the bottle in Link's hands you can then use the time stop glitch by first holding the Z button now press the L button to shield and then immediately press the button you have the bottle assigned to if you timed it correctly time will now stop the camera will lock and this will make all of links controls inverted but you can move around freely the a button works in most cases but you won't be able to open doors to cancel the glitch and return to normal just press C up this glitch can be used in a variety of ways the most useful being in stone tower if you perform this glitch while standing on a button time will stop keeping a block in place the block will now carry us over to the stone tower temple entrance which skips having to use the elegy of emptiness speaking of skips there's a way to skip the entire Great Bay temple using everything we've learned so far at the very beginning of the temple move backwards off this ledge so link falls and grabs it exactly like this hold the Z button and link should turn around automatically now pull out a bomb and press a to drop it quickly put on the Zora mask and turn 180 degrees and then press the Z button again and then move down left to fall from the ledge again hopefully Zora link is now inside the wall like this so you can let go of the ledge and fall out of bounds now we're out of bounds we can take off the Zorro mask and then get ihd from a bomb as we're going to hover even further out of bounds get over to this corner and face outwards in this direction and then turn 180 degrees once again now at the very edge like this we need to start bombchu hovering until we reach the load zone for the boss room a short distance away eventually we'll hit that loading zone and end up in the boss room so now simply drop down into the room below to fight the boss and skip the entire Great Bay temple and finally if you've been actively collecting all twenty masks throughout the game you can trade them all on the moon to get the fierce deity mask usually this mask is only available to use in boss fights but it's possible to wear this mask anywhere with or a link stand torso deep in a pool of water like this one in termina field now take off the mask and become normal link and then dive pressing the a button in the middle of the dive put on the Zorro mask once again and you should find that when you press the B buttons or a link will hop rapidly press the B button and the button the Zorro mask is set to and eventually the B button will go blank now press and hold the a button to swim to shore but instead of swimming he'll roll and stand up normally now both the a and B buttons are blank meaning anything can be set to the C buttons so now set the fierce deity mask to a C button now put the mask on and voila your fears deity linked in termina field now we can go anywhere with this mask on so let's head to Clock Town as you can see we're quite a bit larger than the game is designed for we can climb onto things you're not supposed to climb giving us an unusual viewpoint like here in the laundry pool we can see over the wall into the void going in certain buildings like the stock pot in means we actually won't be able to get back out due to our size the option to open the door simply doesn't appear so we'll be stuck in here talking to certain NPCs will crash the game like here talking to one of the bomber kids just fails to load the textbox that we won't be able to cancel out of it also guards won't let you leave Clock Town in this form even though they say they will what kind of trickery is this remember that bomb hover we did over the boulder on milk Road in this form we can just climb up the wall and jump over the boulder in seconds again we can climb things we're not meant to and get slightly out of bounds too in this form we won't be able to use any items or switch out two other masks it doesn't matter how big or tough you are though octo rocks in southern swamp hard to be messed with sadly you won't have fears datalinks deadly sword beams to take out enemies with but it's fun to be in this form outside of boss fights and there are many other smaller glitches to abuse in this game who knows we may return to termina once again but for now those were some awesome glitches of majora's mask for
