The hell, you can jump down that fence in the speed mini game left of the Kakariko entrance? I did not know that.

You're thinking of Shadow Warrior, though that actually came after Duke Nukem 3D.

Up on the chopping block this week is the first Lorule dungeon of ALBW (and the only one that doesn't need any of the special items), Travis once again fucks with our route in TFH, and I reveal a masochistic plan for my Patreon in ALttP.

I'm pretty sure the dungeon in the woods doesn't need an item either.

Travis, you were more describing Kamen Riders, not Super Sentai. Sentai have capes.

But don't both tend to fall into same category of Japanese live action superhero(es) fighting rubber suit monsters with special effects?

Hell, Saban's first attempt to localize Masked Rider had a crossover with the Power Rangers as the pilot.

The dungeon is either named "Thieves' hideout" or "Thieves hideout", but "thieve's" is just wrong and annoys the grammar nerd in me.

It's in your best interest to buy and upgrade the items before you do their respective dungeon. I know the Sand and Ice Rod in particular make their dungeons loads earlier.

As far as Knucklemaster (Yup) It's possible to get the Lv2 Master Sword before you even step foot in Skull Woods There are actually four ores, not just two

Now the question is will the sword expedite things or is the boss' phases set to a damage cap? Cause man, that was a long and uneventful boss fight.

One of those has the compass, the other has 100 rupees, but to get the rupees you need to drop through another hole and then backtrack through that dark maze-ish bit.

Hey, heads up. I'm about to unleash my rage.

I noticed this wasn't mentioned during that boss fight, but with some precise timing, you can literally skip this boss and get pushed into the wall and free Seres that way.
Granted, you lose a heart container, since you didn't actually defeat the boss.
Not sure if that was patched out or not.

No ALBW this week, but I'll try and have more recorded by next week. This is also the last of TFH we have in the backlog, and the LP might go into another minor hiatus while we wait for Yoshi to return from a trip.

The enemy of my enemy is my enemy.
The first time I ever did the Ice Palace I didn't have the fire rod, so I pretty much Bombos'd my way through it. Without half magic.
It's strangely kind of designed for that with the penguins dropping lots of magic pots.

It's also my preferred way to get through that dungeon.

Also seeing the Ice Palace again makes me curious about Link Between Worlds version of that dungeon.

It's annoying, but the upgraded Fire Rod is awesome so that compensates.

You know, I want to say there's a trick with only lighting the left torch in the Ganon boss fight, but I can't remember what it is exactly. I suppose it's moot now.

ALBW is back, and if I can keep a consistent schedule we should have updates through September.

I actually just recently watched the stream on your channel, Thorn. And I have to say, Highwang's performance during that fight was... he hit the boss enough times for the boss to die.

The enemy of my enemy is my enemy.
As someone who has beaten the Helmasaur King A: Only using the Hammer and B: Only using the Bombs, Highwang's primary problem with that fight was thinking that spin attacks did more damage than a normal swing (when the easiest method is to bomb the mask and then normally slash the head.)

The 3D Zeldas introduced that.
