The Legend of Zelda - Skyward Sword - Bonus - Softlock and Removal

Wherein we get softlocked by a jealous Goron and have to resort to external software to progress.

You can keep your "triggers and checks" theory to yourself, lad.

Everyone knows this is actually Golo's doing. He admits it himself : jealousy-driven payback. Despicable.

[denpadolt]

I remember mentioning that the Wii Shop Channel closing will make this softlock unfixable and the response I got was "Well, it's easier to Homebrew anyway."

[jonathangp]

Imagine if the only solution for that softlock was to erase the Goron's existance.

[Hawlo]

that orly at the save channel killed me

[liquidcat]

Which is worse; Gorons, or Photo Men? I distinctly remember during the PH playthrough that the game crashed when you went to Goron Island, causing you to lose the Neptoona as you didn't save, and THEN you had to resort to a different save file to record the Goron Temple after losing the footage of it. Gorons are just EVIL!!!

4:34 Oh wow, I completely forgot about that! I have fond memories of seeing it when I was downloading and exited to play Paper Mario and SMRPG both for the first time way back when.

5:31 "In order update your save data..." Heh, apparently even the people at Nintendo didn't know what they were doing at the time!

Imagine how funny it would be if Nintendo were to make Skyward Sword HD, and forget to reapply this patch! At least now they have the opportunity to patch it the conventional way, to even further emphasize how bad the Wii's architecture was...

Even the Zelda Universe isn't safe from Gay Baby Jail.

5:05 Why does it play the Animal Crossing Wild World/Wii theme?

[jackwilson]

That thumbnail SCREAMS of the "This is fine" comic.

[splat-a-tat]

Wait...how the heck is the update channel’s startup screen the same theme as Animal Crossing City Folk’s startup theme?!

Anyone else noticed the song starting at 0:45 and ending at 1:00 was a slowed down Lavender Town theme

[mc_sea]

This brings back a lot of memories. Mind you, they weren't exactly good memories. This just reminded of how crappy my internet was back then. I couldn't use half of the channels since they wouldn't even load properly.

[triangularfish]

I can now comfortably come away from this video and say that I am knowledgeable in Nintendo’s complete fuckery of skyward sword. Seriously, the game was SO linear, that the SINGULAR non-linear moment in the game completely breaks your entire save file

[AnachronisticALLOS]

Wawait. The Wii Shop Channel's _still open?_ And it has a _Crunchyroll_ app available?

*what is existence right now*



I don't use Crunchyroll, but still, having it on the Wii just sounds bizarre, given that I've never been able to run anything on the internet channel more complicated than a simple google search without having loading issues.

[Jack-ssfo]

Wait, did I see Crunchyroll for the Wii? Didn't know that was a thing

[guillermoaltozanosalazar]

... I see you just met a terrible fate... haven't you? 0:43

[SRBAnimate]

Well, looks like you can still download the SDUC after the Wii Shop Channel closed down, so there’s still a server at Nintendo operating the shop for this and the Wii U Transfer Tool

[gravity]

But, isn't talking to Golo optional? Or does it count as you talking to him when he shouts at you from the other side of the room?

[DylanDude]

Can’t you throw fireballs with the 1 Button if Fire Mario spawns when downloading?
