WW Tricks and Glitches Discussion

I've seen similar things happen when standing still, but I haven't seen it from getting hit during a parry. Seems interesting. I'll add it to my "look into list". This *MAY* be useful for TAS, doubtful on console unless it could be combined with tingle tuner walk on air or something else like that.

well tell me if it's any use in TAS I'm pretty interested since it's the first time I've ever "discovered" something.

Can anyone explain the new strat in TotG where you can skip spawning the Wizrobe after getting the third statue? I thought I did it right and yet he keeps spawning.

if you shorthop off of the pillars by the statue guy they will still spawn, make sure you have some distance before jumping

Is there something like a list with all the glitches you can do with dry storage? Because i'm not sure, if i found something new/useful.

There's no list that I know of but I'll list some things I know:
Chest Storage
Door Storage (used to unload rooms)
Text Cancellation (use with doors and certain chests)
Storing Cutscenes
Camera Lock
Teleporting Back to Doors
Slide Teleporting Back to Doors

what do you mean by "slide teleporting back to doors"?

Certain doors (like the big ones in FF) slide you toward them before you enter them. You can store this slide animation so Link will slide from wherever he is toward the door when you pull the Wind Waker.

Ok i think i found something new.
You need to get double storage and then you need to open a door. Normally you would get warped back to the door if you pull out the wind waker, but now you can pull it out without getting warped back. If you get storage again now and store a textbox and then open a different door, you get warped right between both doors. Sometimes it let's you fall through the island and sometimes it creates a little lag and nothing happens. You can also do it with more doors. You only need to get double storage every time and then open a door.

I really don't know if this is something new or useful.

I think you're talking about this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBLJwysqBzE

Yashi found it a while ago.

I don't believe that is what he means. I think it's like this.

1) Get storage
2) Store a door
3) Get another Storage
4) Open a different door
Result: Appear between the doors, or some lag, or something idk.

I've ran into that before. I haven't thought of any uses, because of how few doors there are. I hadn't looked into it extensively, as this was with cheats pre-dry storage.

Yeah, i meant what Abahbob said. I messed around with it a long time and found some weird things you can do, if you play a song on your wind waker. I'm still testing some stuff and i hope there will be something useful. But it will take a while to test my ideas, because i can't use savestates since my pc is broken.

It unfortunately would be useful only in dungeons, which means double storage is pretty much impossible so it can't be done anyway

The only dungeon I know of where it would be possible for double storage is Ganon's Tower, where Mugg does Light Arrow Skip.

well i guess that means we have to skip puppet ganon now ecks dee!!!

This actually explains how Yauty's method works: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kd-nrZtLHUk. Apparently it doesn't necessarily require parry. Not sure if it's the same thing as Smith's video though.

Ah, that's it. Useless for TAS :/

Yep, that was it. Ah well. I don't see much use for it.

Today I found out that you don't need double storage for the superswim from Windfall to Outset. It's possible to swim on the left side i think and if you die, you will spawn at Outset. I don't know if this is already known and if it's even worth doing it, since it only saves like 15-20sec. Anyway, I only wanted to mention it.

Sounds interesting, though if it's precise it wouldn't be worth softlocking if you hit the cutscene trigger. Do you have a video demonstrating it?

Sadly, I don't have a video. I will try to get it again and record it. It should be easy though, since there is a big spot where the cutscene won't play.

Does that mean it would be possible to skip that cutscene even without superswimming? Just curious.

It should be possible to skip the cutscene without superswimming. I will test it when, I'm back at home. I also want to mention, that I'm playing the PAL-Version. I don't know, if that has something to do with it.

Yeah, Demon purposefully goes around the back side of Outset to avoid the cutscene, but I've drowned against the side of Outset before without spawning on it. It seems risky but it could probably be used well if you know how to do it. Drowning wastes a little bit of time though so it cancels out a bit of the time taken getting double storage.

L-slide to get on the oob side of a hookshot target: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYZpT64-CUY

do u think it could be applied to wind temple route? seems useful 8)

If you get Storage on Dragon Roost Island and then talk to the stone which teaches you the Wind's Requiem, Link will be invisible. You can  walk around and superswim to other islands as invisible Link.
If you walk into a Cutscene with a dialogue, the game will crash. If you walk into Cutscene's without a dialogue, the game will softlock. Even the Death Cutscene will softlock.
I don't know if this is something useful and if someone found this before. I am still messing around with it, because it causes some funny things.

Yeah, it was found really quickly after dry storage was found. I don't think anyone messed with the effects of it like you have, though.

well i have but everytime i try something impoptant my game crashesXD

Wind Waker crashes a lot when you're trying to find something new, it's pretty awful.

Wind Waker enemies seem to constantly like to make you slide in this game. Maybe this could be used as a damage boost in the TAS? All I did was roll and then get hit, it looked like I got hit just out of the roll.
