i was at wikipedia just reading some articles on some Wii games. i was in the Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess article, and i saw a section titled "Game Breaking Bug"

Wikipedia Wrote:
Game Breaking Bug
Not long after Twilight Princess was released, a game breaking bug was discovered that renders a player's saved game incompleteable. In the latter half of the game the player must find a room with a large cannon and warp it to a specific location. However, should the player save their game in this room before warping, a glitch occurs where the game believes there is a person watching, when there is actually no one there. If the player then tries to leave the room, the character who is supposedly watching suddenly appears from nowhere and prevents the player from leaving, after which it disappears again. Whenever the player is too close to an NPC they are unable to transform into a wolf and therefore are unable to warp. Since the glitch is a result of saving inside an enclosed room, it is not possible to restart the game and appear in a different location. A video of the glitch is available on YouTube. It is currently unknown if there is a method of overcoming this error, or if Nintendo is planning to release a fix.


i went to see the video, and i said holy sh*t.

(if this was already posted then forget about the thread)

but be careful and watch out!

My friend did this! He was SOOOO pissed off!
holy sh-...shoot! :O
Thats why I have two save Files.

The Comments say just talk to him.
i know the part if the game but i just keept on playing for a few more hours then saved
yea thats what i did....i knew what would happen so i just kept playing then saved after i was done with all of it
but that really sucks, cause at that point in the game your so far, and have probably put in up to like 30 hrs. i thought feel sorry for that kid.
yea i know! that is far in the game...i do feel sorry....
I heard about this a couple days after launch. I'm going to avoid saving anywhere near there just to be safe. And I'll probably make a second file like Cloud.

yeah, come on nintendo! If you're gonna release one of your biggest games with a bug that ruins your progress, you'd better be willing to fix it.

thanks for the heads up. I save a lot sooo im sure I would have fallen into this little trap!
Whew! Thanks for thye heads up! I haven't gotten ANYWHERE near this point, but when I do, I'll take this advice to heart!
I've heard of this bug and i wonder: is this a problem for the Wii and GCN versions or just the Wii version? if anyone really knows...
I always rotate my saves with the 3 files. I resave over the oldest save each time. That way I have the save before it incase I'd ever need to go back.
Not a fan of reading ahead, but I tend to save before I "think" something big is gonna happen, so I'm glad I read this one Big Grin
