You know how when Link grabs the special item with the hookshot in a guy room, he doesn't hold it above his head? Well, in the case of shop room types, Link can grab the last (rightmost) item on the list with either the boomerang or the hookshot, while those weapons can't grab the other two items. If Link grabs the last (rightmost) item on the list with the hookshot, he obtains the item without holding it up and without paying for it!:laughing:However, should he try to grab one of the other items afterward, it crashes ZC!:shocking: As far as I know, all this occurs unless none of the items have a price on them. If none of the items have a price on them, Link can use this trick to take every item on the screen without ZC crashing at all. Screen 12 on Map 1 is the entrance to the bomb shop, and screen 61 on Map 1 contains a shop with 3 different rupees at no cost at all.

PS: I found the shoplifting part rather hilarious

:laughing:Sounds like something that happens in Link's Awakening! But really, I doubt the developers would ever add something like that!:laughing:
Either way, I know this much... this issue is both mechanical and critical...
