LEGEND OF ZELDA PARALLEL WORLDS CHEATS CODE
And although there are cheats that let you walk through walls, the game’s code detects when you reach an invalid map coordinate and returns you to the starting location. Note that the above is two 16×8 grids set one on top of the other.Īs SKELUX explains, the overhead map is similarly divided, except the bottom “half” isn’t actually filled with map data. I just about lost my mind when I found out about that. For instance, did you know that in order to store them more efficiently, Zelda’s dungeons all fit together like giant tiles?
Zelda and other games often use data trickery to get around the natural limitations of 8-bit computing and severely restricted storage space.
This type of thing gets its name from Super Mario Bros., where you could easily warp to a buggy level “-1” and progress from there. But there are ways to escape that structure by exploiting flaws in the game’s code, letting you run free in portions of the game’s data that aren’t meant to be “real” levels - yet the game’s engine will interpret the data as best it can, producing in some cases pretty wacky but still navigable levels. If you think about an NES game as a big file, there are places where graphics are stored, sounds and music are described and, of course, level layouts and enemy logic are kept.Īs a player, you are expected to navigate the structured parts of this file, namely the game world - level 1, 2, 3, this or that dungeon or town, etc. The phenomenon was discovered by YouTuber SKELUX, who starts off his video with a quick explanation of how minus worlds work. So the news that The Legend of Zelda for NES has a minus world like Super Mario Bros. And I happen to love it when retro games get broken in fabulous and entertaining ways. It’s not every day that a new fact comes to light regarding a game that came out more than 30 years ago.
