Forest water kills kalle demos

[Robert Jonas]

(First time making a thread so sorry if this doesn't work)

Someone just discovered that pouring forest water on Kalle Demos in Wind Waker and Wind Waker HD kills it instantly. I haven't had a chance to test myself but this seems pretty crazy.

That's really neat. Definitely going to try this out the next time I play TWW. I would be interested to know if this is able to be done in both the PAL and NTSC versions of the game or if it's region exclusive.

Region exclusive is something I didn't even think about but I can't imagine it is since it works in WWHD as well.

I really doubt that's a glitch. It's probably an easter egg referencing how the Forbidden Woods can be purified with spring water. I wonder if there's a line somewhere that is supposed to hint at this? Either way, it's incredible how it has taken 13-14 years to find this. It's yet another example of how many hidden gems there are in this series.

Also, are we sure this is the first recorded instance of this? It seems weird to me that NOBODY, including hackers that have accomplished so much with the game, has ever found or even thought to do this until now.

It seems similar to the fishing rod trick with Ganondorf in TP, that's an interesting easter egg :p
Maybe there are many bosses which can be defeated with an uncommon method?

I was told by people much older than I that this was old news, but I've never even seen this talked about in any other Zelda community before

I don't think it's a glitch either but it's definitely cool either way.
I'd imagine if it was known about speedrunners would use it but I've never seen it before.
