Fake Flute
Using a blue potion on the overworld to fake flute File
This is a glitch that occurs through activating the flute menu with the use of Yuzuhara's Bottle Adventure in specific circumstances. It can be done on both the overworld and the underworld, with different effects depending on where.
Overworld Fake Flute
This is done by drinking a blue potion and activating an overworld screen transition on the same frame. This will call a normally functioning flute menu that will allow fast travel to the usual 8 spots on the overworld. However, unlike the normal flute, this can be used to access the flute menu in the Dark World. If used in the Dark World, Link will land in the Fake Light World, and the player will need to transition the screen to load the Dark World properly.
Underworld Fake Flute
Achieved with a green potion YBA through a Supertile door or a blue potion YBA through an Subtile door (see: EG Map for terminology). This calls a flute menu but since we're not on the Overworld, fluting leads to some broken effects.
Link will be placed seemingly on whichever overworld screen the player flutes to, but the game still considers him to be in the underworld at the equivalent coordinates on the EG Map as where he'd be after fluting on the Overworld (ie. if you Fake Flute to 1 in the underworld, you'll be near Turtle Rock Big Key Room, which is in the northwest section of the EG Map). The tiles on the fake overworld screen will be misattributed with collision and effects unrelated to what you'd naturally expect. If the player transitions off away from fake overworld screen, the underworld will be loaded but in a state we call Plaid World.
Hyrule Fortune
If the player Fake Flutes to 1, there will be a rupee tile on the fake overworld screen that Link can maneuver over repeatedly to collect as many rupees as he wants. This is a very quick way to collect a ton of rupees and is featured in certain MG Speedrun routes.
Plaid World
- Main article: Plaid World
By transitioning off the fake Overworld screen, the player will be in Plaid World. Plaid World is similar to [[Exploration Glitch|EG}} in that Link has free reign to move about the EG Map, however he isn't considered to be on a different layer compared to all the sprites, doors, chests, etc. throughout the game. This means we can freely move around the map AND interact with stuff, which is very powerful. Check the main article for more information.
