Title: Zelda II Finds
Post by: Nook on December 31, 2011, 03:32:16 AM
There's nothing about Adventure of Link here on ZSR, so if anybody's interested this could be a place to include discoveries.

What I've found:

- Side scrolling view depends completely on the texture on Hyrule view. Which means you should avoid enemies near where you've cleared a boulder, because the grainy texture that's supposed to look like turned over sand is desert, and desert enemies appear. Fairly interesting

- You can clip into enemies with shields such as DarkNuts, at the expense of running into them and taking a hit. You can then do a down thrust, the shield is powerless. This is good for quick kills

- The boulder blocking Saria, the graveyard, and the raft dock is strange. If you quickly turn Link into it when coming downward, and quickly tap/mash the hammer in the process, and a while after, you can clip through any enemies waiting for you on the other side and not encounter them at all. This has worked twice for me

Anyone have anything else to share?

I hate this game and it is too hard. ;D that is all I have to say.

You can go through locked doors with the fairy spell, but other than that I think it's pretty much just smart leveling and route planning that makes up a speedrun. It's a pretty solid game. If you're interested maybe you should check out SDA's forum and runs instead.

Also, I prefer to just jump and attack the darknuts since I can hit them but they cannot hit me.

How are these "finds" when they're basic mechanics of the game?
