I acually wouldn't call these glitches, rather part of the extended Zelda lore. Hookshot jumps, superslides and spawning random things from memory into your empty hands are core elements of the OoT experience
Any other Link/YL mains as pissed as I am that all this stuff was removed after 1.0? 1.0 Young Link IMO is actually a higher tiered character than later versions YL. If you throw the boomerang while recovering and catch it with the hookshot, it actually gives him a small boost forward, sort of like glide tossing in Project Plus. This helps his pretty mediocre recovery, which goes a long way against the higher tiered characters likely to beat him in neutral and send him off stage quite a bit.
"This might be the craziest glitch in Melee" I dunno... Melee has a lot of crazy glitches already. "It can corrupt textures and steal UI elements" Nevermind.
In OoT speed runs a glitch is used to unload a held rock and then you can load almost anything else in that space in memory. In a way the Ghost Arrow is just making sure Link's mechanics are true to his game.
this is so fitting for OOT link being the glitchest character considering that game. the ghost arrow glitch feels like something straight out of an oot tas
I think I remember for an april fools day joke somebody said they managed to fill the empty space Link's arrow is supposed be loaded into (during the ghost arrow glitch) with the opponents stock. So in theory, Link would be able to press neutral b to delete stocks. Shout out to my boys who didn't realize it was a joke and thought Link had become the most broken top tier in the game.
It was maybe 6 or 7 years ago at this point but I discord led by pgh Carrol, squid the cat, and others, faked link being able to steal people's stocks on April fools day
God, i wasn't expecting the insane RANGE of that ghost arrow glitch. Until you showed it picking up master hand's projectiles, i thought it was just a neat little "visual and purely cosmetic glitch that has no use ingame whatsoever", and that dubbing it "the most INSANE glitch in melee" was just a fun little joke... boy i was wrong, being able to PICK UP THE UI OF THE GAME ITSELF is mindblowing. Do you perhaps have more videos of it being used in a competitive environment? (outside 1.02)
I think you're thinking of stale reference manipulation? SRM is when you change what's in the memory that a pointer is pointing to, which looks a lot like what the ghost arrow trick is doing
@@svenuls Can't RBA also be used for putting different items on the B button in place of the Sword? This let you do a few weird things like such using Farores's Wind anywhere (with very weird results) or using items as either child or adult Link that you normally shouldn't be able to use.
"That's the game slowing down because of how astronomically fast Link goes by doing this." So he slows down time by moving faster than time himself? Hero of Time indeed! Though by the looks of that last part, Link's been taking lessons from Missingno...
When you run out of arrows so you start shooting the HUD at people Also I really appreciate the tiny tiny detail at the end, when the game crashes, you stuttered the music that you had edited in to the video as if it had crashed the video as well. Very nice touch.
I'm 99% sure that the Ghost bug was found like this: *Hang on, let me shoot my arrow from ledge..* *Oh dang that didn't work.* *Wait, why is my arrow Falco?-*
Playing the Kass theme from BOTW in a ocarina of time link video whilst talking about the split timeline that BOTW is excluded from is probably the best piece of musical comedy on all of RUclips.
The ghost arrow is just like SRM, a glitch from Ocarina of Time where you unload an object from memory and can make new objects appear in its place. Another insane attention to detail from Hal. Really outdid themselves
Melee is a game so good that at first that you wouldn't believe the game was rushed, but if you dive in just a little deeper you go and discover that you can teleport to the other side of the stage by just airdodging diagonally onto the wall's other side (Still the best rushed game i know, some *NON-rushed* games can't top it).
Im glad you pointed out the "hero of time" is specifically the one from OoT. Its a pet peeve of mine to always hear people call all of them that. I mean its completely unimportant but still.
I still find this really funny. Like yeah Fox and Falco being top tier competitive characters is cool and all but then you see Link casually jump off a ledge and brick your console. I think he fits the true definition of overpowered
Wait does this make Link the strongest video game character of all time? SM64 Mario can BackwardsLongJump faster than the speed of light, but Melee Link can steal *objects* and even theoretical concepts like backgrounds and UI text with the ghost arrow. He is to be truly feared...
I'm being completely serious when I say my PC bluescreened the exact second that Link's chain hit the ledge at 2:07. It took me around 10 seconds to realize that it wasn't a joke from the video.
I love how you edit things man. That zig zag over as you wrapped up how convoluted Links timelines are was just perfect. I knew we were going to fuc town and we were. To Melee of course where we all just say 'screw it'.
I wasn't so sure when you said Ghost Arrow was the coolest glitch in the game, as that's a pretty high bar. Ghost Arrow is the coolest glitch in the game.

Actually, the ghost arrow works exactly the same as the dimensional arrow, except that the ECB appears inside the programme and damages the game itself

The UI not appearing correctly because vital elements are loaded into link's bow is the most melee thing i've ever heard.
“Out of arrows… I’ll just borrow this.”
Honestly sounds more Ocarina of Time to me. I can't tell if that's somehow even more fitting though.
I acually wouldn't call these glitches, rather part of the extended Zelda lore.
Hookshot jumps, superslides and spawning random things from memory into your empty hands are core elements of the OoT experience
Im not sure if this is a big coincidence or if OOT has so many glitches that any glitch in melee would be analogous to SOMETHING in oot
It's just features
The glitches in OoT are part of the lore
@@swank8508 It is an interesting coincidence that link can cause a use after free exploit both in OoT and in Melee....

Sounds about right to a normal Zelda speedrun

The Smash Bros devs are really great at recreating a character's in game moveset to their smash bros counterpart!
its not a bug, its a feat- homage
True to OoT, they made SRM. Still waiting on ACE though.
this is so fitting for OOT link being the glitchest character considering that game. the ghost arrow glitch feels like something straight out of an oot tas
Not even TAS, that's just what normal speedruns are like nowadays with SRM
Extra fitting because it sounds like the ghost arrow glitch is caused by some sort of UAF/SRM, one of the key glitches in OOT any% and TAS
Maybe ghost arrow should be official in breath of the wild 2.
Its the same concept as stale reference manipulation. The glitch that lets lets them TP to the end of the game

"Ghost Arrow" sounds like it could be a new type of arrow in a zelda game. Like an arrow that could pass through certain walls and pierce enemies.
Like the Farsight in Perfect Dark. That’d be awesome.
Editing in Link's screams with his super jump made me actually laugh out loud. I don't know why but I found that to be the funniest thing!
I was gonna point this out if no one else did lol
I gotta agree! Though I was in stitches the moment I saw the nickname “l a n k”. It’s just so perfect for the glitchiness to come.
