Don’t forget to subscribe! I forgot to ask in the middle of the video so we have to work with what we got. My goal is 10k before 2024! Imma try to pump out some quality videos either way.
I love how this is like "pure" glitch hunting. It reminds me a lot of the difference between pure and applied math, where here instead of worrying about things like "speed" and "if there's any way this could ever be useful in a run" it's a journey to answer a question for no other reason than the fact that it's a natural question to ask, so it's interesting. And who knows, maybe these techniques will end up in runs soon, or years in the future, just like so many concepts in pure math finding applications decades or centuries after being developed.
Thanks!! Yeah I would love for this to work its way into being speed run viable. I actually cut out a section where I talk about it. I like to make things happen by any means and work backwards to try to make it fast. That's how I did the route for intro clip.
Not gonna lie there is something upsetting about how much Zelda’s absence is felt by the end. In the original game you’re looking for something that’s *right* in front of you, but here she’s… She’s really just not there. She’s really gone.
The year is 2026. We use this glitch every day to get the master sword in 13 seconds to skip the light dragon cutscene and then ghost glue ourselves to ganon and 1 tap him. the any % world record is 15 seconds

Breath of the Wild: oh yeah so basically you press a few buttons and jump through this wall Tears of the Kingdom: to embark on this journey, you will need a PHD in quantum entanglement, the steps you must undertake will destroy your mind, only the strongest of brains will survive, forget everything you think you know about the flow of time
Really interesting how there is a flag/state that just disables her model almost everywhere. Kinda was expecting her model to have a unique cutscene version that would appear but it's probably good optimization to reuse the same exact model
I can only assume that the reason Zelda appears in the final fight is that its actually a different NPC entity. Despite sharing a model, she has different behavior routines and and likely stored in a completely separate memory location. The regular light dragon that you removed from time and space is called for all the memory cutscenes, and since that particular NPC was never spawned in the world, the cutscenes fail.
god what a great video, i love the staggering quantity of intimate game knowledge it would take to even create a circumstance like this, and the payoff being an absolutely absurd and very broken game state, thank you for sharing this with us, it was really fun to watch!
At around 9:20 this video starts to sound like an alien ad from Rick and Morty :P "But how DO you zuggle it? Remember to pack your florgl ronter next time you attempt a ghost glue fuse entangle!"
Man what a time to be alive. I'm so excited that there is such great content like this. When I was a kid I would have been so damn excited if this kind of hard core analysis had been available surrounding games :)
Same! Imagine if we had the internet like we do now for Donkey Kong Country. Now a days there are too many games for people to focus on DKC. I love DKC lol
Loved this vid! It's nice to see that the TOTK glitch-hunting community still active, and I loved your editing style (specially with how you showed the zuggle/fuse entanglement glitches)
Thanks!! I'm still going to be working away at this game, I still have some large goals and I think I'll be able to reach them if I keep at it. Also there are still a ton of people in the discords doing the lords work.
the glitches in botw and totk are something truly special. they really set themselves apart because of the amount of tools you can use to do different things, and use some glitches to actually do other glitches. and theres just so many lol
Timber, you're amazing at finding glitches in this game! Your dedication and talent for discovering those hidden issues make the game even more interesting to explore! Thank you for doing this!
A glitch is in fact a developer oversight. A glitch occurs when, the code works perfectly (as in no exception occurs), but it doesn't do what is expected to do, or at least not fully.
When watching Aonuma first unveil the game I would have never predicted this is how far the community will take it, pretty incredible when you think about it
so glad i found your videos on my recomended page and decided to subscribe! i wouldve never thought skipping the intro could softlock a mainline quest for this game
I just adore how glitches can be combined together to do complex tasks like this. Your step by step process of involving more and more elaborate glitches all at once is truly brilliant
Awesome video! Super interesting to see the consequences of skipping the setting of a flag in a save file. It might be useful toggling some of these flags and checking the effects to decide what would be worth pursuing in vanilla.
I saw you commentate around the TotK SR discord that you managed to got this, it's nice to see now how the whole process works. My mind inmediately jumps to the idea of how would this impact low%. There's been a little debate whether cutscenes should count as game progression, we were mainly thinking in stuff like the cutscenes in the prologue (which you skip anyways if you want to go fast) or someting like the captain construct cutscene inside In-Isa (although that one will play again if you reenter the shrine even if you have already triggered it). I lean more towards the position that cutscenes shouldn't count, although I can't deny that skipping the Title Cutscene is something pretty big. For that to be even useful we would need to be able to perform the skip without having more items than the ones we already use for the run, which is just MNFs, so even if all the ZLOTing could be done with the MNFs which I have no idea if it is possible, we would need something else to textdive since the korok gives us the poopy, but that also gives us acces to the inventory so that alternative for textdive should also allow for that, so I doubt something like that exists. Anyways, great job, really interesting find, and such a well made video!
Ive never played this game but I'm glad i watched. This was very entertaining. Some serious inter-dimensional cable vibes. You really seem to have an intimate and in depth understanding of this games mechanics. Very nice
I had to rewatch the "'bye-bye', he says" scene like four times before I could continue without cry-laughing. What spectacular fucking comedy. The way it just zooms the fuck out like the game itself is going "whuh, where the fuck did he go??". The way Link didn't even land in water. The cheer of the Korok. It's so good
Listening to this is probably the closest I'll ever get to understanding how a dog feels when someone talks to it, like I'm pretty sure these are all words and i recognise some of them but like... Wot...??
Totk community and Celeste community should have a ridiculous tech name contest "I ZLOT the fuse entangled zuggled sword"(forgive me for ignorance) Vs "Oh, I did a gultra into a spliped droost"(??????)
@@Timberwolfee Yeah! A "gultra" is short for a grounded ultra, which is a tech that (simplifying here) lets you build up extra speed by grabbing something. A "splipped droost" is mostly a meme name, but it's a special way you can dash through a spiked dream block without actually entering it. Honorable mentions for tech names are "bubsdrop", a very specific tech involving vertical screen transitions, and the "cassoosted fuper", another meme name short for "cassette-boosted feather super". The Celeste wiki actually has a nice page on all the different techs, and it's a very interesting read if you like the game. The best part is, you only ever need four of the ones listed on the page to actually beat the game in its entirety.
botw intro skip: just clip thru a wall and run away from the cutscene trigger totk intro skip: an entire goddamn lesson of theoretical mathematics brilliant video, i love this so much
That was a totally crazy tech demo of breaking TotK with a bunch of. 'Hey you'll never do this but I'm kewl for doing it' And you are man. 🎉 I can't believe there are glitches that let you transfer items between games.
The devs really need to (if they want to prevent glitches) put void out zones out of bounds and do much more restricting things to stop players from doing this stuff lol
RUclips recommended this video. I am casual gamer so I did not understand all these glitches. I love the way you combined all these glitches to get what you want. It is like in these hack competition where they have to combined different vulnerabilities
Really like the explanations in the Video! Also, If we find a better way to graphically display the world sections, we can have much better idea of areas that trigger certain events, flags, ect. As of what I know, the map logic seems to be similar to botws. (LinkTagAnd/Or/And EventTags, ect.)
I only watch challenge videos of this game. I haven't played it. I don't own a Switch. I think this is actually my first time seeing the title cutscene.

Most underrated totk creator EVER. You're taking this game to new heights with these glitches. Keep it coming!
Wow, thanks!
Yeah they have been underated for ages! I don't know why they weren't bigger the year the game came out.

Holy production value. This was an incredible foray into the world of crazy TOTK glitches I will probably never do.
22:35 all the glitches and stuff were cool but what blew my mind the most was the subscribe button flashing rainbow when you said subscribe
I love the evolution of this video like 5 months ago you tried skipping the cutscene and could never get it to work, but months later you did it :)

While we were playing totk, this guy played Quantum mechanics and interdimensional timetravel. Wtf
Wonderful vid (I think I just started watching it’s a timber vid tho so it’ll be good)

Yo, timber i e been waiting for an upload. Hype!!

i love how the text dive is just a modern version of an OOT navi dive :’) feels oddly nostalgic
I learned that Zelda was in the start of the game, I never knew she was, because I never saw her
