wierd keystroke comobs

8 replies · 1,272 views · Started 10 February 2003

has anybody noticed that certain keystroke combinations do really weird things (other than the hotkeys that have already been mentioned) such as:
Ctrl + 1, 2, or 3 changes your sword
Ctrl + 4 Darkens the black border around the playing feild slightly
Ctrl + 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 changes what the color of the map border (at least for the overworld anyway)
Ctrl + 0 deletes your current sword altogether
Ctrl + ` (the key to the left on #1) seems to make Link instantly "warp" via a pit and the "insta- w/ wave fx" type
^These all work w/ or w/out cheats activated

If you noticed any other "odd keystroke combos" please post them here as i have. Also, what combo of keystrokes fills your magic meter? i read this somewhere but have never remembered it...anyone know?

The tilde button actually changes the subscreen type. But yeah, you could mess stuff up using these keys.

Ctrl + S key gives changes your shield. Useful for those like likes:smile: Won't work when you have the Mirror Shield.

, and . change the MIDI that is playing.

P pauses the game.

A pauses the game if it isn't already and makes it advance one frame for each press.

Right Arrow + f pauses it also, I found this while trying to run around and turn on/off fast while doing so for testing my quest. Strange... and ticks me off 😛 Anyway, it's in the latest version. 😞

You could get yourself a free Master Sword using the debug keys! Pretty funny! especially on REALLY HARD QUESTS! lol
