Zelda: TP Glitch? Help!

[Javery]

I'm in the desert dungeon, I've found the 4 poe spirits and I'm on the first floor now. There's a room that has sand on the floor and spikes that come out of the ground and there's only one path to take through safely. There's a chain in the upper right corner you pull to open the door and you have to hurry through it before it closes. The glitch I'm running into is that the animation where link is walking through the sand happens on regular ground so it is impossible to get to the door in time (because he's walking so slow - kind of like wearing the iron boots). I tried resetting the console, reloading the game, entering and leaving the dungeon and I get the same glitch every time. I want to scream.

[Javery]

Fuck. Nevermind. I'm retarded. Damn invisible rats sticking to me.

Oh the old invisible rat "glitch" :)

[rupan_sansei]

I had the exact same problem. Took me a while to figure out what was happening. Glad I wasn't the only one.

[buttle]

yea, that got me too. it took a while to figure it out. that's really funny. when i first saw the topic my heart sank and all i could think of is the sky cannon glitch. i'm glad to hear it's not that.

[iowaholdem]

I thought it was the sky cannon glitch too. That would seriously suck.

So, if you don't know, there'll be a sky cannon later in the game that you find in a room. Whatever you do, DO NOT SAVE AND QUIT IN THERE! Or your game will forever be ruined.

How come people don't listen to their game while playing?

This NEVER plagued me because I heard the rats squeaking in this room.

Thanks - I play in short bursts so saving and quittinig in there is a definite possibility for me...

Is the sky cannon room the only game crippling glitch?

[zewone]

Yeah, I almost got fucked by that glitch.

This is the first time I've heard of the "invisible rats". I just ended up barely making it, going slow.

If you go into the wolf form and turn on your senses you can see them clinging to your body. You have to kill them all before moving on. Since the animation of link moving slow with the rats attached to him is the same as if he is walking in sand it seemed like a glitch to me. At first I thought it was the redead guy in the corner staring me down so I turned into the wolf to kill it - when I turned on my senses for no good reason I saw all the rats. Now I know.

I'm done with the 4th dungeon but I really need to explore the overworld before going to the next one - I haven't really found that many pieces of heart (probably 10 total) and I'm sure there are other upgrades to be found. One thing I HATE is the fact that you can't open treasure if your wallet is full. There are a ton of treasure chests in the dungeons that aren't opened.

LOL. Classic.

[clockworkgreen]

Sky cannon, huh. Ok. My Wii is out for delivery from Amazon today, and TP should be coming from Ebay.

[Cambot]

Haha, I had the same problem. I really thought it was a glitch, too.

Also, I'm glad I wasn't the only one, and I'm also glad you didn't get screwed by the sky cannon room.
