Hi!
I just completed the game casually for the first time, and I was wondering how load zones in the Temple of the Ocean King worked. Is it that, for each floor, the loading zones are always there and, if we could glitch out of bounds into them, we could theoretically get to floors in the temple early? Or is it that you need to complete dungeons for the loading zones to appear?
Thanks!
Sorry for the late reply, didn't see it until now. Although I have no way of confirming it, I can't imagine the loading zones wouldn't work before they're supposed to be used. Just like most other games, I'm pretty certain that if you somehow glitched into them early, they'd work, and you could get to later floors of the dungeon early.
This could only really be used in 2 places though if it worked: Right at the start of the game, when you're getting the SW chart, and when you're getting the NW chart. When going to get the Sun Key Crest, you can't progress further, because the Triforce password doesn't work until you've talked to Zauz after Ghost Ship. Anything after that, we already do in 1 trip, so there's no need. Doing it when getting SW chart would leave you stuck, because you can't get past B1 without the boomerang, which you get in the first dungeon. After NW chart, however, would be a big find. It would skip a visit to TotOK, and potentially even skip half of Wind Temple depending on how the game's flags work.
Hey potential Emulator runners,
The Phantom Hourglass & Spirit Tracks mods have been discussing emulator eligibility recently. As of today, we will start allowing Emulator runs to be accepted into the leaderboards. The game rules have been updated to include the rules for emulator. For now this is
