Glitch World #1 Submitted by: Shari Aldrich Exciting-ness scale: 8? out of 10 Note: This only works on the older (black and white) versions of the game. Does it work? --> Unconfirmed. We'll check if it works soon... Go to the fishing pond and do the screen warping glitch down so the fisherman appears in the tree. Play the fishing game while he is in the tree. You'll end up in a crazy glitch world with multiple rooms, strange enemies, and invisible walls. To get out, find the way to the bottom of the pond and talk to the fisherman (he won't look like the fisherman) and choose to fish again. Or, you can save and quit and you will appear in Marin's house - however, saving in glitch worlds is not advised. Go back to the top

Thanks to Kenjoki-Ikari for these screenshots!! And... Click here to download a map of the glitch world. It's all stored in a ZIP folder of size .99 MB. Thanks to Jim of CGS for making this!!

Glitch World #2 (for all versions) Submitted by: Shari Aldrich and Clark Beyer Exciting-ness scale: 8? out of 10 Does it work? --> Confirmed. It works. Go to the small doghouse in Mabe Village. Go to the top of it and hold down. Do not let go of the down button. Tap right slowly so you go to the right of the doghouse, but don't let go of the down button! Now, carefully press Left. You should end up in a freaky glitch world with multiple rooms, strange enemies, and invisible walls. This may be the same glitch world as Glitch World #1, just missing the fisherman's area. As with all glitch worlds, saving in this area MAY HURT YOUR GAME. You may also be warped to Goponga Swamp, so then you'll have to return to Mabe Village to retry the glitch. Going to the Glitch World too often MAY INJURE YOUR GAME - be careful! Go back to the top

Click here to download a map of the first glitch world, which is very similar to this one. It's all stored in a ZIP folder of size .99 MB. Thanks to Jim of CGS for making this!!

Faulty map Submitted by: Kenjoki-Ikari Exciting-ness scale: 2? out of 10 Note: This only works on the older (black and white) versions of the game. Does it work? --> Confirmed. It works. Start a new file and play through Marin's text. Get you shield back from Tarin and then hit SELECT and check the Map... it'll be blank and have you in the wrong spot. Go back to the top

Thanks a billion to Kenjoki-Ikari for this screenshot!

Get a level 0 shield Submitted by: Kenjoki-Ikari Exciting-ness scale: 7? out of 10 Note: This only works on the older (black and white) versions of the game. Does it work? --> Confirmed. It works. Go to the spot on the first screenshot, near where you get the sword. Now, go one screen to the east and then Screen Warp to the east so you're about in the spot in the second screenshot. Now, go back to the west to reset the sword screen. Screen Warp to the east again and you should have a sword there, which becomes the level 0 shield (which can be used)! Go back to the top

Thanks a billion to Kenjoki-Ikari for these screenshots!

Messed up Skull Dungeon Submitted by: Kenjoki-Ikari Exciting-ness scale: 4? out of 10 Note: This only works on the older (black and white) versions of the game. Does it work? --> Unconfirmed. Please tell us if it works. Go to the Lv 8 Skull Dungeon. Warp yourself around until you reach Lv 8 on the map. Use the Screen Warp to the top where it breaks into the map and gives a warp point. Screen Warp to the left, then jump out of the wall. Move up twice - the stairway you entered with won't let you escape. Screenwarp from the stair screen straight down and navigate the invisible lava pits and grass. You'll reach what's supposed to be the "Dodongo-like" midboss of Level 3, but they'll look methed-up (as Kenjoki-Ikari puts it)! Go back to the top

Thanks a billion to Kenjoki-Ikari for this screenshot!
