How I got softlocked on Minish Cap's first dungeon 

He got softlocked in a such place, why do you think he would obtain that sword technique?

That would be Baldusr's gate: dark alliance

Yeah that's what a soft lock is lol

@@BaileyBlaze Soft locks aren't typically fixable by saving and reloading, this one is. But let's not get caught up in technicalities, I just wanted to help out :D

@@Magluz bro stop being a smart-ass

@@BaileyBlaze no

​@BaileyBlaze no it's not, lmao.

iirc you have to be very precise In how far you extend, right? xD

When I did it it didn't work

​@@BaileyBlazeNah you can.I saw your video and I got there and yes you can go to the very edge and get back where you were.Dumbass

Because you can get softlocked in a game without autosaves?

@@BaileyBlaze amazing how you reply every viewer with sarcasm lol This is not soft lock you can return to the dungeon entrance.

By restarting the game. Which makes it a softlock lol

​@@BaileyBlazea softlock when you can't do anything except for resting the game, not restarting, reseting

@@BaileyBlaze it literally is not a soft-lock and does not require a save-reset. Load the game at the previous save, a "soft-lock" requires you to reset your save. *There is no auto-save,* so you are not saved ("locked") at this point perpetually

Explain

​@@Placeholder_DER He's stuck, not softlocked.

That's a hardlock at that point

@@BaileyBlaze didnt know but seriously when i wrote this i was playing my second playthrough dont use the glitch to get to the boss early in the ice temple if u didnt do the other one first its gonna hardlock the gamr

​@@morpekokid4262 i dont think you can get to the ice boss without the flippers or whatever their name,and u cant get em without returning the books

​​@@BaileyBlaze IIRC, a hardlock is when the game completely locks up, ignoring all inputs. It can also be considered a "soft crash" as the game is technically still running, but it can no longer process anything. Gameplay is still possible during a softlock, but progression is impossible (this typically includes via dying and/or reloading the game). Because of how saving/loading works in most Zelda games, softlocks (especially within dungeons) are very uncommon. That said, it is possible to softlock in certain dungeons in some games (such as ALttP) if you use keys on the wrong locks, as it can prevent you from being able to access new keys, making completing the dungeon (and thus the game) impossible. What is shown is this video is more just getting yourself stuck and needing to die/reload the save.

@@zarnox3071 that's it.

I couldn't go any further back

🤷‍♂️ I think this is half on me and half on the level design

bro doesnt know what new players are

@@InconTheTerrible you talking about me or the other guy??

Yes

1 not click baiting, 2 softlocking has to do with reseting the game.

You are rigth

I'm going to start playing it right now The switch version
