[RC1] Link can swim on land

4 replies · 1,219 views · Started 28 April 2011

Diagonal movement on.

Set up a wall and a water combo as shown:

SSSSS
LLWLL

S = Solid; L = Land; W = Water

Now if Link starts moving diagonally alongside the wall while first pushing against it, he will leave the water, but continue swimming. If he stops moving, he will still be swimming. This stops when he moves in any direction without pushing against the wall. This can happen regardless of which side of the water combo the wall is on.

I am able to reproduce this, but I would like to add that the water has to be walkable and the "Link drowns in walkable water" rule has to be on. (And the water combo in the example has to be walkable)

Good find regarding that quest rule. Though, in my testing, I saw this behavior with both walkable and unwalkable water.
