Link's movement is different in house interiors where the iron boots speed penalty doesn't apply. This is apparent in the laboratory with its lack of a fixed camera.

whoa, this is really cool! i knew full well that a lot of houses slow down Link and prevent him from sidehop/backflipping. but somehow never knew the movement was the same with iron boots. super cool. same with hover boots (they're a little slower than kokiri boots normally)

Do you think there's an enemy that takes more damage from the razor sword than gilded? Kinda like how the flame dancers from OoT taking more damage from master sword than Biggoron's, but idk if MM still has remnants of Ganon's master sword weakness in the code. Razor does damage of that sword iirc.

I finally tried looking in decomp to answer this, and to me it looks like this is impossible, since "sword" is one entry in the damage table, which makes me think the different swords just use a multiplier.
also I haven't posted this here yet, but I can be asked questions anonymously over at https://cohost.org/kaztalek

Do you think FD is gigantic for the sake of the Twinmold fight so as not to be too slow to get within range?

this might be answered in an old interview, but off personal guesses only I'd say no. I think the regular bosses were an afterthought for FD because other than odolwa, they're all awkward to fight as FD

Gossip stones with a ceiling over them give a fairy once per cycle. Moon, Termina Field grottos, and road to Ikana. Exceptions are the large ones in the grottos.

I feel like you mentioned the ceiling for the ikana gossip before, though I know for sure the once-per-cycle part was brought up. seems to be a weird coincidence. didn't know termina field gossips were like that too

You can stop the cucco-chasing girl to speak to her by putting on a mask instead of having to wait for her to stop. Her dialogue will be limited to her mask reaction if you made her stop, even if you took the mask off.

lol, the surprising part of this to me is that she just stops on her own and you can talk to her without a mask. I don't think I knew that

Is Kafei's B button affected if Link is cursed? (Longer curse via bottle adventure may be necessary.) His punch is basically a sword that can't combo, but he could still do it if Link is swordless.

Kafei and Link's B button are handled separately, so if Link is cursed, Kafei can still punch like normal. just like goron can still punch regardless of what Link has on B or if he's jinxed

If Link could have Kafei's B button behavior/item, can it damage anything outside of the hideout at all?

I'm not really sure how to answer/test this. since for example link "has" zora and goron's b button item (kokiri sword), it's just that the form acts differently. I'm also not sure where kafei's B button is in memory, but I would also guess it's "kokiri sword" and would be able to damage enemies outside. would be cool to test though so I might come back to this

The brightness of the Mirror Shield in OoT is based on the direction the camera is facing (where Link face doesn't apply). It's not the same direction for every area. North is brightest at the Ganon's castle exterior, and east for the crater. In the Temple of Time, facing the altar makes it dark.

this is a pretty cool observation. though I'm not sure of OoT having internal compass directions so I can't verify the part where it's different depending on area. unless you just mean compass directions based on lore with the ingame map
