Talk:Glitches

Glitch Contributors

 * Melchizedek: Founder/Overlord of Glitch Category
 * Zien: Extreme Glitch Contributor

Glitch Contributors are those members of Zelda Wiki.org which make significant contributions to the Glitches category and are leading this wiki project. They know all the necessary characteristics of a good glitch and how to make sure it can or cannot be done. For assistance with Glitches please seek out those mentioned above. Though not a real official group, to become a glitch contributor simply make significant and valid contributions to the glitch pages at ZW and Melchizedek will eventually initiate you.


 * Apologies guys for my inactivity in glitches recently. I will make heaps of contributions to glitches during the rest of my holidays. I vow to make this 'project' way better before I set my feet in my school again! 10:11, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

Improvement of Page
Eh... is this article doing anything useful? The writing is quite icky and it doesn't really seem to address anything. --Jase 21:42, 27 January 2007 (CST)
 * Consider it a page to kill the clutter on useful pages. ;) Many glitches are listed on other pages and only serve to distract from the main content. Mel was saying that he and Adamcox82 want no glitches in main articles. But I think some of them are fair for the page. Just not the ones with icky writing and leading to a lot of noncanonical nonsense. jmo.Axiomist 03:08, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

'Canon Room' glitch?
Given that a 'cannon' is the object found inside the room where the glitch takes place, would it not be the 'Cannon Room' glitch?


 * The spelling fix must have gotten reverted after moving servers. It seems like somebody already fixed it for me. Cool. --Jase 13:39, 20 April 2007 (PDT)

Bridge of Eldin glitch
If Link saves after the Bridge of Eldin is teleported away, he will be trapped UNLESS he goes into the Twilight THEN saves. The effect of this glitch is that Link can no longer get past the bridge, thus forcing him to restart the game.--4.252.2.85 00:00, 29 September 2007 (EDT)

Postman
I've heard of a glitch allowing you to kill the postman. I've never done it. So I can't verify it's true or not.Axiomist 03:08, 7 May 2008 (UTC)


 * What game did you hear that this was in?--Matt 14:11, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Deletion Discussion
As has been stated above, this article is scrappy, small and doesn't really do much for the wiki, hence its been flagged for quite a while. Currently I'm taking on starting more in-depth official Glitch pages across the wiki, and have just begun to undertake Glitches in The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. I will be continuing in time across the Majora's Mask Glitches and all of the games, making a glitch category, fixing page re-directs, ever updating/ improving the glitches and formatting them so they eventually have demonstration videos. With these new pages coming around, which have an easier to follow/ user friendly format for each glitch, this small page serves no purpose, and I think should be deleted, to make way for a better project.


 * I'm actually against deleting this. I'd say leave it as-is until the new pages are done. Then rewrite this page to have the most notable glitches of each game, with links back to the main articles. 16:09, August 26, 2008 (UTC)


 * Some good points you do raise. It could be a good idea of having a page for notable glitches, however how would we decide what a notable glitch is? Also the Title "Glitches" isn't good, because it's the exact same name as the Category: Glitches. I agree that a page like that would be useful, however not as this page, but a page titled "Notable Glitches in The Legend of Zelda Series". Anyway, will add that to my to do list.


 * Now onto my new idea for what to do with this page. When people search the Wiki for Glitches, they're probably just going to type "Glitches" into the search box, leading to this page, not the good articles. I think we should use this page as an disambiguation, directing people to whichever glitch game page they want, or the notable glitch page.


 * So I definately retract the deletion proposition, and this page can become a disambiguation? As for the stuff that was on the page, I've saved that with all the other glitch stuff I have on my PC that I'm slowly adding to the wiki. I'll go ahead and make it a disambiguation, and hopefully you'll like it, otherwise we can undo that, and continue talking.


 * I'm guessing you liked it??!!

Glitches Yet To Be Proven/Disproven
This section was removed from the actual page and placed on this discussion page because it is not something which is necessary to be seen by browsers of the wiki, but is for wiki editors to use in building up this glitches project. So please discuss this matter on this talk page. 05:13, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

The following is a list of glitches which yet are proven true or disproven glitches. ‘True’ glitches are glitches which can be done; while disproven glitches are just that, disproven. None of the following glitches are products of hacking. Any glitch under any ‘glitches’ section which was a product of a hack will be removed from that page entirely. If there is a glitch which has little/no evidence that is can be done, it should go under this section. When you place it in this section, try to add details to the glitch, as well as how to complete it. If the glitch cannot be done a few times, that does not mean it should go under ‘Disproven Glitches.’ Most glitches will not be completed on the first several tries, therefore trying again will help not cause confusion with statements like: “That can be done, look…” etc. If the glitch still cannot be completed, put it under the ‘Possible Phony Glitches’ section. With the glitch, and details, mark each set of edits with your sig by typing four ‘~’ marks. Ex:( 05:42, 24 December 2008 (UTC)) This will help keep order in when the glitch was posted, by whom it was posted, etc. Due to Zelda Wiki.org’s policies, glitches cannot be confirmed just because they happen to be on a site/video. Please investigate the glitch, so if follows the procedures in this description. Once a glitch is proven true, mark it in bold as True if you are unable to move it to the correct glitch section of a game. The glitch as well as anything that is related with it should go, leave nothing out. When posting glitches, try to post several of them within one entry box. An entry box is all of the text/information above a horizontal line. (-) To make such a box, please type put any information, then in the next line, type in four horizontal lines. Above the line is where your sig ( 05:42, 24 December 2008 (UTC)) should be. A glitch with little/no detail should be marked as :; but if there are a lot of glitches in your entry box: to keep things clean, please put down something close to the following statement. "~All of the following glithes need _." Please fill in the '_' space with what they need. That way there will not be hundreds of section stub alerts in this section. Glitches in this section do not have to be proven by glitch heads, but will be watched by them [Thus far.] If you need any help, please contact a glitch head.

~All of the following glitches need details, as well as be proven/disproven.~

Possible Phony Glitches
Glitches in this section should be fully investigated to make sure they can/cannot be done. This is the last step before glitches are dumped in the ‘Disproven Glitches’ section. Glitches in this section can be checked by members, but must be checked by Melchizedek, or whomever he apoints. This is to make sure possible glitches do not end up as ‘Disproven.’ If a glitch has been checked, and proven by a member, mark it as M. Once a glitch has been proven by Melchizedek/whom ever he appoints, then it will be moved to the necessary area. Melchizedek does not need to wait for a member to prove the glitch, because he knows all of the necessary characteristics of a good glitch.

Glitches Yet To Be Perfected/Done
Glitches in this section are closely related to glithes in the 'Glitches Yet To Be True/False section" but are usually at the point where things might have to be talked about, etc. to get the glitch done. Glitches in this section also might be true, but are yet to be perfected to find all of the ways to do the glitch, and the eaiest way to complete it.


 * Get The Sun's Mask Before Day 3.
 * Not possible. You can get into the hideout before Day 3. But you cannot actually get beyond the first room until Day 3. 00:20, December 3, 2008 (UTC)


 * I made it to the room next to the room with the two Deku Babas. ...and yes, I HAVE killed them both before with Zora Link's bomarang like fins.  [Hard to do, and only got it done once.]  I got lucky...   Zien 01:06, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

-Zien 00:25, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I remember that I was facing the back wall in which Link was in, and shooting the fins high above the wall. [The room with many red switches, and one blue switch.  I think it is the second room across, bottom level.]  Somehow, they went from behide that back wall, to the sides of the far wall in the other room.  Now that I think of it, they might of bounched off the metal door, and into the other room.  Where, one/two fins hit the Deku Baba, and killed it.  Just because it is almost impossible, doesn't mean it can't be done.  I think it is safe to say that this could be one of the hardest glitches in the whole series.  [Once it is proven true.]


 * I have tried this one and seen it tried many times, and have not yet successfully gotten the sun mask. @ Matt. You can easily get past the first room. Once entering the hideout early, if you transform into Goron Link, you can push the switch and roll into the next room. From there I've Bomchu Hovered over the conveyer belt to kill the enemies. In the end I tried everything I had, and couldn't quite make the end, especially in the time limit, but you can pass the first room. 09:41, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

-Zien 23:36, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Bombchu Hover? Why didn't I think of it before?  [Maybe because I never successfully done it...]  Did you try playing the Inverted Song of Time before you entered the hideout?  You can pretty much have almost unlimited time once you have done that.  [Until the dawn of day four, that is.]  Once I perfected the Bombchu Hover glitch, I WILL prove this possible.  [Hopefully.]

~Queen Gohma and Deku Nut Glitch~ In a few older versions of Nintendo 64 OoT, throwing a Deku Nut at Queen Gohma to stun her would result in the game freezing. This is known to happen on at least version 1.0 of the game, and may have been fixed in version 1.2. Granted I may have gotten the version numbers mixed up, but I do know that one of the versions will result in freezing. I have played the version 1.2 rom and didn't encounter the glitch there, so this may have to be tested on version 1.0 and such.

The glitch was fixed in Master Quest for the GCN. It may also have been fixed for the VC version, but I'm not entirely sure.

This glitch *may* have been fixed in the Australian and Japanese version of Master Quest for the Nintendo 64. (Yes, Master Quest for the N64 does exist, but was only released in Japan and Australia.) But again, I'm not too sure about this either.

I can tell that this glitch will probably need numerous testing. -The Goron Moron 03:23, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

Games Which Need More Glitches
I think we should work on the sections which have little/no glitches. OoT, MM, etc have enough for now. For some glitches in other games, see the ever-growing list under "Glitches Yet To Be Proven True/False." After all, this makes the most sense out of the actions. I will edit this/make a new edit with a list of the games which I think need glitches the most. When looking in this list, be sure to read, and follow the rules. 04:32, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

By looking at all of the pages, I have found out that most of them are empty. A lot of the glitches which could go in some of thoes sections were under "Glitches Yet To Be Proven True/False." Here is a list of the pages, and the number of glitches on the page. [Which can be found in the brackets {}.]


 * Glitches in The Legend of Zelda (0)
 * Glitches in Zelda II: The Adventure of Link (0)
 * Glitches in The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (0)
 * Glitches in The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages (0)
 * Glitches in The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons (1)
 * Glitches in The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords (0)
 * Glitches in The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker (2)
 * Glitches in The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures (0)
 * Glitches in The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap (1)
 * Glitches in The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass (1)

I am only the guy who finds them. If no one will prove them, then it is up to me. I will start to see if there is any proof in able to complete the glitches by looking on official game help sites, testing them out, etc. 04:53, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
