Cutscenes

Use timed warps.. goto the screen you want the timed warp on, press f9, then where it says timed warp ticks 0, replace the zero with anynumber you want but a tick = 1/60 of a second. If you want it to activate in 1 second you type in 60 for your timed warps.. also, the timed warps use the "side warp" data so be sure to set that on that screen

yes, be sure to set the side warp data, without setting a side trigger and be sure to set the # of tics in the screen data menu by multiplying the desired # of seconds by 60
here's some other suggestions:
1. adding in strings for dialogue
2. nice graphics & animation
3. hide link!!!--make him invisible via the "invis. Link" screen flag
4. perhaps hide the subscreen, via the "No Subscreen" screen flag
5. trap link (surround him with unwalkable combos) so that the player can't go off screen/mess up the scene
