Skyward Sword: Skip 99% of Ancient Cistern basement

[ZackeeEU]

You're able to use this "watch?v=Jz5zoXN4kec" instead of the fatal blow :3

Much easier

[draco15648]

crappy ending

[Kumisi11]

LOL

[jecjerich]

Link gets more smarter everytime or maybe he got tired of doing every puzzle so he just look for shortcut haha lol.

[PFPOD1998]

If you find this comment amusing then you are probably gay.

[Shaeman111]

And then link died...

[licota11]

Today I found my copy of Zelda Collector's Edition! Now I just need to bye a gamecube!

[xxKILLER196xx]

@licota11 u can use a wii if u have 1

[licota11]

@xxKILLER196xx But I got a Gamecube 3 days ago, so that won't be needed!

[DUUUUDEEEEimbored162]

...Zombies? O-O I'm probably not going to like this temple... ESPECALLY WHEN THERE CHASING YOU ON A ROPE. WHEN I'M SCARED, I FREEZE, AND WHEN I FREEZE, LINK ALSO FREEZES, AND WHEN ZOMBIE THINGS ARE EATING MY LEG, I'M PARALYZED FOR AN HOUR. But at the same time, I love zombies, they're freaking awesome :D

[777Rowen]

@DUUUUDEEEEimbored162 True that. :) But don't worry, this part of the temple is fun. I went through the whole thing, and it makes the dungoun more rewarding when you do it the old fashoned way.

[misterneckbreaker88]

i love the entired game i dont wana skip bits. nice find though.

[smoshteamianhecox]

I almost killed moldarch and failed right before stabbing him in the last eye just now so im stuck there, but I am glad to not have to deal with the basement part...if reach it

[Furfurfur2001]

@mzxrules and dont forget about the long jump with the gale boomerang

[mzxrules]

@Furfurfur2001 Not really the same thing. The gale boomerang covers distances fast, it doesn't get any height.

[Furfurfur2001]

Something tells me im not going to like this temple

[miitube]

@Furfurfur2001 don't worry its not that hard

[irreplacableJKL]

Lol, i said that because it seems to me that you know exactly where to guide Link after you discovered this...

:P but it is a sweet trick, thx for uploading it:)

[mzxrules]

@irreplacableJKL It's sort of similar to Twilight Princess's wolf high jump, and I believe there's something similar with the finishing blow as well.

[HylianSaiyan]

Ancient Cistern is one of my favourite temples. It's a contrast between and purity and darkness, and how things may never be what they appear to be on the surface. I believe the dungeon represents those things in a very unique way.

[irreplacableJKL]

no offence, but i find this hard to believe you found this ''by accident''?

[mzxrules]

@irreplacableJKL I swear that the only trick I went out of my way to find was BiT my first time through

[WalkthroughTLoZss]

Can you accept my video response? :D

[mzxrules]

@WalkthroughTLoZss what video response

[WalkthroughTLoZss]

@mzxrules sorry, i was wrong! xD

[Gazonkie]

that's amazing dude. good job.

[brettjpw]

I loved this dungeon. The amount of Buddhism references are just a-ma-zing.

[Gazonkie]

@brettjpw what kind of buddhism references? i didnt notice any (not familiar with the religion)

[mzxrules]

@Gazonkie It is believed that the dungeon design is based on the story "The Spider's Thread". You can read up on it on wikipedia

[Gazonkie]

@mzxrules cool stuff, thanks

[MilesDaFoo616]

Mrs. Puff I think he cheated

[mzxrules]

@MilesDaFoo616 You aren't in Bikini Bottom anymore sponge

[AznAndy562]

wait is this like a glitch were the people who made zelda didt realize u could do this?

[Bonkersiznuts]

i thought the sky keep was the best temple by far in this game and i loved the sand ship like the sky keep goes in the #2 spot in best temples of all time

[foreverdarkness13]

DANG I WISH I SAW THIS

[MyBebopBlues]

Crap if only I saw this sooner

[mzxrules]

@MyBebopBlues If only I knew that it was ok to just climb up the rope so that I could skip the basement my first time through.

[MyBebopBlues]

@mzxrules

Well at least you found this little shortcut so you didnt have to spend that much time exploring and puzzle solving and all that

[ticotico221]

That's my favorite temple

[speechbender]

well thats no fun Ancient Cistern is my favorite temple :(

[26Vela]

Master Link, if my calculations are correct, you have skipped 96% of this shitty part. Also, there was a false positive of Zeldas dowsing that lead to a monster, so theres a 86% he raped her recently.

[SolidSnake3521]

But that's no fun...

[mzxrules]

@SolidSnake3521 Get the hell out of my house.

[SolidSnake3521]

@mzxrules No. I think I'm just gonna make myself a sammich.

[koolaidmoonwalk]

Who knew monsters would come in handy

[MLink96]

Shiiiit :D Awesome :D

[crackkatt]

beast!!!!!!!

[Deboogs]

Reminds me of early master sword. I hope this can be used in other places for larger sequence breaks.

[kirby9723]

One small question: what does BiT mean in reference to Zelda?

[mzxrules]

@kirby9723 BiT = Back in Time glitch. It was first discovered in Twilight Princess in Arbiture's Grounds by YautjaElder I believe (which is how it got it's name), but I was the first to record the timing over voids in TP. I discovered how to do it in Windwaker years later, and I believe I successfully did it in Skyward Sword (because the game crashed).

[kirby9723]

@mzxrules

Ah. But in TP, the game takes you back to Eldin Bridge with a sword and shield, jumping off the bridge if I recall correctly gives you all items back. What does it do in SS, if anything besides crashing?

[mzxrules]

@kirby9723 BiT doesn't give all of your items back unless you load a save in TP.

I haven't tested BiT extensively in Skyward Sword, so for now it just crashes your game.

[TheRealDJLO]

wow...win

[nintendork64]

Oh, I'm just about to get here, I suppose...
