A year or so back I realized that my copy of Zelda: A Link to the PAst (GBA Version) was boot-legged. Sadness over-came me, but I played it again and didn't care. I haven't played it for a while. Now, I have prepared for the ultimate lazy time. At least for me. I got a sleeping bag, put 2 blankets inside the sleeping bag, stacked 4 pillows for teh extra cumfort, and got some snacks and a drink. It was chocolate cookie bears for the first dungeon, Reses Cups for the second dungeon, and a marshmallow bar... thing for the 3rd dungeon. But when I went into the castle, I noticed some oddities. When the guards pass one another, the sprite above always over-laps the other sprite, but it looks like the one on the bottom should be over-lapping the one on top, due to the positioning of the camera. Then I walked up to a guard. It doesn't sense any colision until I touch their heads. I can't even slash their bodies! Only the heads. And they still over-lap me if I'm below them, so it's pretty odd. And a lot of rupees, if they're flying through the air, appear UNDER Link, even though it looks like they'd be going OVER Link instead of behind him.

Did I just get too used to the Gameboy Zelda games? Is this normal for Alttp? Did I simply forget about all these things since the last time I played? My laziness will be ruined if these questions are not answered. Please help, EoFF!

If I stop being lazy, will all questions be answered?

Maybe because the thing is bootlegged?

Maybe because the thing is bootlegged?

So it's safe to assume that these things AREN'T normal? o.o

I'm pretty positive it isn't normal.

I can pretty much guarantee that these things are not in the least normal.

Huh... I just played a rom of the SNES version, and I conducted a few tests. Firstly, the soldiers going over Link was the same in the SNES rom I used. Also, since I was testing it more and I was determined, I found that in the GBA version I have, you CAN slash the bodies. I think I probably just forgot to press the B button. ...>_>... Also, in the GBA version I have, it seems that certain sprites, depending on when they collide, have certain superiorities to one another. If a sprite from the bottom goes to the top, but is still touching the other sprite, it will over-lap in that odd way. Same in the SNES version. And also, I found out that I simply CAUGHT the rupee. It didn't go under Link. <_<... No wonder I got a C- on Big Brain Academy...

Oh, also, in the SNES version, you can't skip the title screen if you already have a save file. In the GBA version, you can. Also, in the GBA version, you get free MP when you obtain the lamp. In the SNES version, you don't. >.>

So basically, this thread was created from my stupidity. =)
