A Link Between Worlds How Many of You Have Skipped Skull Woods Boss

[Ventus]

So yesterday I completed like five Lorule Dungeons and beat the game, I tackled Skull Woods last because I ****ing hate that place, it always makes things more difficult than they need to be. Anyway, I got to the boss, and luckily for me I had my OP Nice Tornado Rod, thinking I would defeat the boss. But lo and BEHOLD nigs, I actually glitched out of the boss room and touched the painting without trying!

That's one amazing boss skip, what do think it does once Link leaves? It must be disappointed that it's not good enough to be vanquished by Link.

 

[Night Owl]

That's awesome. XD

So what happens if you return? Is the boss dead or do you have to fight him?

 

[Heroine of Time]

Whoa. That's pretty neat. Did you actually do it by accident, Ventus? Haha, that must have been interesting. Unfortunately, I was forced to beat the boss normally like a good little Zelda player.

I laughed at this. XD

I did it by accident, then visited ZSR (ZeldaSpeedRuns) and found out that it is pretty easy to do it deliberately. Granted, I had already seen videos of how to beat the boss, though the videos actually used the merge mechanic instead of the Tornado Rod - and they beat the boss, not skipped.

Man, I tried that, but it didn't work. Either I got a copy that isn't bugged, or I just suck at glitching. Probably the latter...

 

[Night Owl]

It took me a few tries to do it, then I went back in to kill the boss and get the heart container. (the boss was still alive)

Is this the first ALBW glitch to be discovered?

 

[Libk]

I'm going to do this in my hero mode run now. thanks for showing us this man

 

[Fig]

Wow, I'd never thought I see the day where you can skip a boss in ALBW and get the painting without even striking the boss once! As for me, I just simply battled the boss because 1. I like battling the bosses and 2. I didn't know that this glitch existed. Even with this now in mind, I'd probably still battle the boss just to have that sense of worthy and praise from all the hard work I did to complete that specific portion of the game. :3

[Gomp]

That is neat! I did not think to use the tornado rod. I just merged in to the wall.

Nice trick!

The first I ever seen!

 

[The Jade Fist]

Actually this title, reminds me, I'm a little disappointed that the Skull woods dungeon was actually utilized. I mean in ALTTP you could skip like 90% of it, because most of it was there to troll you waste time.

 

[ihateghirahim]

sweet. However did they figure this out?

 

[Shadow Blade]

I'm pretty sure this glitch or one like it was shown on the home page at one point.

 

[SmallPhry]

Well that's probably for the better, I hate that boss they need to stop with hand bosses they aren't fun and they never were
