Four Swords Anniversary Edition
Blazeingphoenix:
So, while playing around on Four Swords A.E. Hero's Trail Bronze Door [the ice like levels], on the second level of it, I found out you can skip a big portion of the level, saving minutes. But, it's luck based whether you can get it [as far as I know].
Basically, after the first wave of the five Spiked Beetles and getting across the ice, there's a patch of grass. If you're lucky, one of the grasses may contain a bomb. Quickly, try to move the bomb in the middle of the wall south of the grass [right next to the ice you came from]. If fast enough [or the grass next to the wall was the one that had the bomb, making things easier], it should create a hole in the wall. Walk in the hole, and it'll move Link up to the four chest area. Now you've skipped a great portion of this long level.
I found this out by accident, just by cutting grass to try to get hearts, and a bomb showed up out of no where, and making a hole in the wall. I've played around with this a lot, and either I have bad luck, or bombs don't show up much in the grass. Out of around 50 attempts, I've only had 2 bombs show up. And the 2 bombs only showed up around the first 5 attempt, meaning the following 45, I've yet to see another one. :/
Overall, I like there's a way to skip a good portion of that level, but it seems like it'll be rare to do it.

So, started playing around on Four Swords A.E. today, since I haven't played it in over half a year (mainly been spending my time speed running Kingdom Hearts Final Mix (1.5)). While playing around on Hero's Trail Dark Talus Cave (Gold Door... not Bronze like I said in last message), I played around with the bombable wall on the second level of it. I found out if you hold your sword out and start tapping it on the wall, it makes a different sounding clank as well as an ! appears next to Link's head. Sound difference is kinda like how it is in Ocarina of Time, where bombable walls have different sounds when you hit your sword on it. Not sure if this was a known thing or not, but if not, maybe this could be useful for finding other shortcut walls. Prob. not going to get back into Four Swords A.E. any time soon, as I still have no way for straight video capture and don't want to use a camera to record video. I do eventually want to route out Hero's Trail though, even though I know that'll be a difficult task.
Tompa:
That "sword tap" to hear the noise of breakable walls has been a thing in most 2D Zelda games, from A Link to the Past and on. So that's not really new =).
I've been able to make LeafeonZ intersted in running this game. We will be doing races for it eventually, in case you want to join in!

Whatz Up everyone. Another good amount of months since I've posted about Four Swords A.E. I'm back to Four Swords A.E. again, as I have a better camera and wanting to try to beat my time of 24:20. Not the best camera, and not nearly as good as a modded DSi/3DS straight capture, but I feel it's better than my last camera. Anyways, the main reason why I'm posting here is while I was relearning both the levels and the bosses, came up with a fast way of fighting the Talus Cave boss, Dera Zol. Nothing too amazing, but it tend to be about 10-15 seconds than what I did in my 24:20 run (which had a sloppy fight anyways). I explain how the strat works in the description of the video. I would like to apologies in advanced for the video being recorded vertically, just wanted to show both top screen and bottom screen, thinking it may be necessary while I recorded the fight. When I do attempts again, most likely will just have top screen shown... as I see no real need of showing bottom except for having stat boost being shown.
Video for me fighting the boss Dera Zol --> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nd6Ap8jQmz8&feature=youtu.be
Note: Not the fastest I've fought that boss, and made some sleight mistakes in the video (nothing to time costly, but mistakes nonetheless). But I feel I showed what I wanted to show. Also, still unable to stream, so if/when I do beat 24:20, will have it uploaded on YouTube. My goal is to get sub 22, but I may be happy if I get sub 23. If/when I do beat my 24:20 time and post the video, and people don't mind me recording with a camera, may also try to improve my times for the Realm of Memories levels, as I remember having fun routing and doing those. As for Hero's Trail... undecided about that.
