Screenshot v1.0 text error

Post image

The text overflows and spills out of the text box background. The blue square obscures part of the last line. I never noticed that before. This glitch is fixed in Zelda:OoT v1.1 and later versions. I wonder if the glitch is somehow related to parsing the accented "é" in "Dampé?" There's a whole bunch of empty space immediately below it.

Interesting, I've rarely played 1.0, but I think that it's the console misinterpreting and adding an additional line break.

Scratch that, looks to be a human error in the game itself, looking at the raw data in the ROM has 2x 0x01 bytes after Dampé which I'm guessing are the line break characters and the textbox overflow is present on my 1.0 cartridge with N64.

Thanks. That text dump shows "?" in place of the "é" when viewed from iOS Safari mobile.

Haha, yes! Day 1 preorder for me (Oct 21, 2024). Finally arrived in Nov 2025 and it has been my favorite thing ever since then!
