Fierce Deity Link
Sword Beam
As Fierce Deity Link can normally only be used in boss rooms, no other enemies should be programmed to interact with the sword beams he can shoot. However, there are a few that are, though they do not display the special hit graphics.
- Stalchildren are instantly killed by it.
- The Dinolfos mini-boss takes damage from it.
- Gekko takes damage from it, but not when it is on top of Snapper.
- Wizzrobes are not harmed by it. However, shooting the beam at it while it's appearing will make them disappear, similar to Igos' henchmen below.
- The Big Poe within the Bottom of the Well and in the Final Day Grave takes damage from it, but only when it's not spinning towards the player.
- Igos du Ikana's henchmen do not take damage from it, but instead jump backwards and shield themselves (as if they were being attacked at close-range).
- Skull Kid on the Clock Tower will treat it like any other attack (arrows, bombs, etc.), making the hit sound effect, shaking his head, and saying "That won't do you any good." on the third hit.
- The Gerudo Guards throughout the Pirate's Fortress will be stunned by it, for a shorter period of time than usual.
- The Cursed Spider Man will get pulled to the ground and sway back and forth when hit in the front. If he's hit from behind, the beam stuns him.
- Pamela's Father is also stunned by it.
In addition, the beams can hit Gossip Stones and slice through signs.
Deku Link
Deku Nut Projectiles
There are several hints that Deku Link was originally intended to spit Deku Nuts, rather than bubbles, much like his Deku Scrub counterparts.
Firstly, if the game is modified so that Deku Nuts are equipped to B, there are several form checks performed when one attempts to shoot projectiles in first person. If Link is not in Deku form, the game uses the Deku Seed projectile variable, which uses the Deku Nut damage type and decreases the players' Deku Nut count. (If the player does happen to be in Deku form, the game uses the variable for the bubble projectile instead.)
Secondly, there are two unused animations for Deku Link related to this ability. The filename of E2F8 suggests that, not only would Deku Link have been able to spit Deku Nuts, he would be able to burrow into Deku Flowers to do so.
| ID | Filename | Translation | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| E2F0 | pn_tamahaki | Player Scrub - Spit Ball | Deku - Spit Deku Nut |
| E2F8 | pn_tamahakidf | Player Scrub - Spit Ball (Deku Flower) | Deku - Spit Deku Nut in Deku Flower |
Goron Link
Lift Heavy Rocks
The blue rocks from Ocarina of Time that required Silver Gauntlets to lift (actor En_Ishi) have been reprogrammed in Majora's Mask to be liftable by Goron Link only. If Goron Link is told to lift the rock, he will play three otherwise unused animations for lifting, holding, and throwing the rock, and he will also make an otherwise unused grunt.
This goes unused because there are no blue rocks in Majora's Mask... or at least none that are ordinarily accessible to the player. The only blue rocks in the game are found on the seabed at Great Bay, and cannot normally be accessed by Goron Link, unless a glitch is used to walk underwater, which allows the otherwise unused animations and the unused grunt to be seen/heard.
In the Japanese version only, Zora Link could also lift the blue rocks, and it goes equally unused because while Zora Link can naturally sink to the seabed, he cannot pick up objects in that state.
