Did You Know Gaming? Takes Another Look at Glitches in the Zelda Series
Posted on July 30 2019 by Michaela El-Ters
Glitches in Zelda games can range from simple, amusing anatomical alterations to dramatic technical errors that can impact the progression of the story. For the speedrunning community, it’s valuable to find new ways to set new records through utilizing these glitches to their advantage. In this sequel video by Did You Know Gaming?, more glitches in the Zelda series are discussed, such as those found in Breath of the Wild, The Wind Waker, and Link’s Awakening, just to name a few.
Each game has a useful glitch that allows speedrunners to cut down on travel time or bypass certain areas altogether, such bypassing the barrier surrounding Hyrule Castle in The Wind Waker. Each glitch is discussed at length, including how the glitch is triggered and its benefit to speedrunners. As someone who enjoys watching speedrunners and learning how it all works (both through a gameplay and technical level), this video was a lot of fun to watch.
