Zc users: An important note regarding the whistle

2 replies · 1,266 views · Started 23 October 2011

In ZC, players who blow on the whistle may notice something interesting and slightly alarming.

When the whirlwind reaches the other end of the screen and disappears, for a split second, it is replaced with a flashing flame sprite. I would like to note that this *DOES* happen in the original game, and is not a ZC Bug.

Thank you.

is the flame the next sprite in line on the page? I can't check, right now (separate ZC/ZQ computer and Internet computer), but I'm assuming -- if it is the candle flame and not the lit-torches flame -- if you move the flame sprites to a different spot you could have a final whirlwind tile... maybe a spiral of upward wind shaped differently than the whirl. does that make sense? anybody feel like exploring that?

No, I do not believe so. Again, this is something that occurs in the actual NES game as well. TBH, I'm not entirely sure it occurs in ZC, but I seem to remember seeing so. So, just a note that this isn't a bug: just NES consistency.
