Jacquaid has a spreadsheet of TD sources: here Examples and Uses: Goron Mines entry with Master Sword without Spinner Discovered by Jacquaid (The bits afterward in 80406F99 don't necessarily matter and are used for dialogue progression.) The eighth bit of 80406F98 is the 'third' TD bit (3).The seventh bit of 80406F98 is the 'second' TD bit (2).The sixth bit of 80406F98 is the 'first' TD bit (1).We can achieve this by manipulating the TD bits with dialogue and set at least the seventh bit at 80406F98.įor ease of reference, the rest of the page refers to bits as the following: So if the game sees that either of these final two bits, the seventh and eighth bits at 80406F98, are set, then it will assume Link has already won the sumo fight and Goron Mines will be accessible, even in the broken Early Master Sword state. If Link wins the sumo fight, the game will set the seventh and eighth bits at 80406F98, the (2) and (3) bits, and then the game will proceed with Gor Coron finishing his dialogue.

Saying 'Yes' to start the sumo fight sets the sixth bit at 80406F98, the (1) bit.

Under regular non-glitched circumstances, entering the sumo hall for the first time sets the last four bits at 80406FD9, or bits (6) to (9). Now there are instances in the game such as the Gor Coron sumo hall which fill these bits out in a weird order. However, leaving during a broken-dialogue state won't actually clear them, thus the 'value' of the text dialog box has been displaced. Normally, most in-game cutscenes and NPC dialogues fill out the bits above in order, from left to right. The relevant bytes in memory associated with this glitch are (numbered 1 to 9): It is worth noting some actions can clear Text Displacement, more of which are covered in the notes further down.

Specifics of each use will depend on the number of times the NPC is spoken to, as the values required differ for each effect. Having this memory partially filled can result in some oddities when bringing this memory state to other NPCs and cutscenes. However, the player has control in most cases and is not forced to progress through all of the dialogue box sets. For most major (and some minor) in-engine cutscenes, the game keeps track of how far you are into the cutscene with a set of bits in the temporary flags region.īy speaking with an NPC in a 'broken cutscene' state, this location in memory is still filled in as before.
