Dead Soldier

[Crystallion]

Never even noticed that, that's strange. But Ocarina of Time has quite a few glitches, so I guess it's just that, a glitch.

I made a thread about this already.
It's a pretty cool scene seeing the soldier die.

hmm I well cant remember but I do remember a soldier behind castle town and oni's video really helped me reconize him^^

I have yes. but to be honest...
i only found it out like when i replayed OOT the 5th time or something.
yes a rare discovery indeed

anyway for those who are curious:

Seeing how Zelda 64 (OoT) keeps the record for most glitches in a game, my bet is that its just another one.

I don't think it's a glitch if you can go up to him and talk to the guy, but I think that the little ghostlike appearance was a glitch.

 

[bellum]

well it seems nothing like a glitch to me glitches are like getting to the shadow temple before Dodongo's cavern GLitches are things Nintendo would accendantly make and I think Nintendo put the dying soldier in on purpose

Ofcourse the dead soldier wasnt a glitch, we were speaking of the "ghost soldier".

I think I remember seeing him. My memory of OoT is very short for I haven't played it in so long. It was sort of creepy to see the dying soldior though. Very depressing.

I truly love reading about things like this, things still get discovered from time to time
I really look forward to trying this, and will have to search these forums for more similar discoveries.
But yes, its a sad thought thinking about this valiant soldier dying for the Princess. But its also a testament to the goodness that was in Hyrule before Ganondorf took over...

oh man... I never thought I'd see something new about OoT.... and I never saw that guard...this is so cool.....glad to know the best game ever (imo) still shows some surprises

all hail OoT:clap:

 

[Amelie]

Wow! I have never even looked! All these years of haveing this game I never thought to go to the back ally? Doh! ><

What is the matter with me?! (goes to play OoT again just for this..wait.. my N64 quit >>)

 

[bellum]

I've never actually took the time to come to the back of the alley and look for the dying soldier but I shall soon.Wait is there a certain time I have to come to the back of the alley?

I really dont think this has anything to do with a hack, I personally think Nintendo did this to add a secret and those who actually find the secret will get a little more suspense out of the game .To me a glitch is more of something like getting to the spirit temple without getting the master sword yet.But I'm gonna go checkit out next time I have the time to do it thanks for the idea ^^.

 

[MOS3]

I believe it has to be right after zelda runs away and ganondorf comes after her...but before you enter the temple of time....

 

[Bokbok567]

In OOT after you get all three stones(but before you get the Master Sword)go to the back alley of Castle town,and you will find a dying solder.
Has anyone else seen him?

Yes I have seen him because when you talk to him first he says some stuff about how he tried to hold of Ganondorf and after you talk to him again I think Navi says he is unresponsive or something like that! :thinking:
