Fun hack! Here's some of the issues I found:

When on a screen with both a cave exit and hole, if you have come from the exit and fall down the hole, you will automatically reenter the cave.

Swinging sword while picking up red boomerang crashed the game (froze).

Cave w/ the ghost in the graveyard if you use the boots and run up, you will run through the wall and respawn the room.

Old man in level 8 that asks for money says, "!<3."

I was unable to move once I entered the treasure room after defeating Ganon. Didn't get to see the ending.

The game continues on after you defeat Ganon...

I force the game to make you save, so you can continue onward. The game doesn't end when you defeat Ganon & talk to Zelda. Idk why people are not paying attention to what Zelda is saying, and not noticing the signifigant change to the FILE menu on the registration screen once you are sent back there. :-/



I don't get any text. Once I walk in, link gets stuck in a walking animation and nothing happens; can't do any input at all. Here's a quick video (sorry it's poor quality): http://tinypic.com/player.php?v=71jswy%3E&s=8.

This is on Nestopia 1.42.4 on Mac btw.

After some more testing, I think it could've been the rom. FCEUX 2.2.2 had no problems with it, but when I tried using a different version on Nestopia, it worked fine.

The issue is most likely my fault. I couldn't get Legend of Zelda, The (PRG 0) (U).nes to work at first so I used Legend of Zelda, The (USA).nes. The PRG 0 had no issues, the USA version had issues on Nestopia as I mentioned.

Sorry for being noob.

Also, just found that beating L6 in the darkworld warps me to the Epona house.

Had another issue with Nestopia soft locking after killing dark world ganon (love the ending BTW). Switched back to FCEUX and finished the game no problem.

I did have some save issues, but I attributed that to moving my .sav file between emulators. I don't know what caused the issues, but I can say I had completed all dark world dungeons did a S+Q using the 2nd player controller method and then loaded up that sav file in FCEUX (the save was made on Nestopia). When I loaded the file, I had all the heart pieces I'd collected, but none of the dark world triforce pieces and L2 master sword was gone (had L1). I also noticed a bunch of chests I never opened were open. Again, this could have been because I was moving the save file around. Will try to do a clean play through on 1.3 and will definitely let you know if I experience anything similar (going to use FCEUX all the way through).

Minor bug I found today on 1.3.3: when you try to play the ocarina on the light world screen just south of the master sword, the game freezes.

Both of the below issues are for 1.3.3 on FCEUX 2.2.2 Mac OSX 10.9:

Ok, so I was able to figure out that the issue is not the screen on which you play the ocarina, but simply playing the ocarina while on a staircase will cause the game to freeze.

Another issue I encounter was that dungeons 7 and 8 were extremely glitchy and they would cause me to lose the ability to swing my sword and I could not progress to the end in either dungeon.

Gonna update to 1.5 and will report back.

1.5 works much better!

Got through the whole game, but haven't found the last two items in final dark world dungeon so can't kill gannon yet.

One issue I noticed is that with hookshot or longshot, I'm not able to grab that over world chest near level 3. Both items will only go to the edge of the first platform and don't cross over. Does that one require a different item?

Another issue I noticed is that you are able to walk off bridges in the top part of the over world map by walking down. You then can walk on air. I have not seen this to be useful for anything as it has led to a dead end everywhere I tried it.

Some stuff seems very well hidden—I have not found the prescription to buy medicine or the book the bored guy wants. The hunt is fun, but I feel I have looked everywhere. Not complaining, just a compliment for not making the game too easy!

I would like to know from whoever has played this, if you have or have not, experienced any issues when obtaining heart pieces, and their function in creating a new heart container.


I believe I have. I wasn't tracking it closely, but I believe I picked up a 4th heart piece, but did not receive a new heart. I believe I had 14 hearts before, picked up a piece, checked my inventory and had 0 showing, but still 14 hearts. Will try to track this better on further testing.

Just checked the file select screen and it looks like I had—12/20 heart pieces, and 2 missing heart containers. However, after trading the book I got another heart piece, but no new pieces showing on inv screen and still 2 missing heart containers. Will check to see what file screen shows my count is.

In terms of drops, I think it's ok as it is. I suppose I could see making it a bit more challenging, but I also feel that it could just encourage more farming, which doesn't sound fun to me. Maybe try reducing from 4 to 2 and see how that goes?

EDIT: Also, I could not do the book trade in the world even though the guy is in the house and asks if I wanna trade. I had to go to LW to do it.

Also are you supposed to be able to enter the level 8 tower in the LW? If so, I am unable to do so. I thought this was one of the hints, but the item doesn't seem to have any effect on the tower in the LW.
