Wrong Warping

Discovered by CloudMax & Kazooie

Description

In some maps, the bird statues in other sections will remain loaded, even while the area around it isn't. For example, while you are in the Temple of Time area, the Lanayru Desert area is partially loaded and the bird statues in that area still exist. Going to such a bird statue and choosing to return to the sky or the entrance of a temple will cause you to be warped to a strange location. These wrong warps happen due to the statues having an exit index value that corresponds to the sky only on the map they're supposed to be accessed on, but the sky being a different index on the exit list of the adjacent map.

† - This door requires Room 2 Zone flag 1x02 to unlock, which is not possible without cheats.

†† - This softlocks if the Gate of Time hasn't been raised (only in Sealed Temple, it is not the case in Hylia's Temple)

††† - This door requires Room 1 Zone flag 1x20 to unlock, which is not possible without cheats.

†††† - This is the Horde Cutscene layer. If that cutscene was already watched, then Link's sound set will change into a Bokoblin's, no events will trigger, & actors will be missing. Otherwise the Horde cutscene will play correctly, even if you didn't beat Sky Keep, thanks to the forced layer 13 load. The other warp to Hylia's Realm is not like this and will instead load the layer according to your story flags.

††††† - This stage is a Sealed Temple version only used for some cutscenes: during the Gate of Time opening cutscene and the cutscene after beating Sky Keep. There are no known ways to gain control over Link on that stage.
