  So the conclusion here is basically "they misplaced an enemy that just so happened to be the jankiest enemy in the game, and everything else is working as intended"

  I&apos;m honored to have been part of this investigation all those years ago and have my name mentioned at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wadeIUdtiOY&amp;t=294">4:54</a>.

  Misery Mire sounds like an alter ego of Monster Maze.

  The fact that you reverse engineered a glitch is insane. I love how in the 90s stuff like this just became a mystery, as if there was some in game secret people had yet to figure out. Whereas today it would probably just get patched. <br><br>Like the Mew under the truck, It seems like one of those things that was more fun before the internet.

  Man, these last few uploads are the exact kind of thing that got me in to Zelda lore in the first place. Little tidbits that have way more detail behind them than you&apos;d expect. Thanks for the entertainment and the nostalgia, my man.

  I have been playing A Link to the Past literally since the day it was released. &nbsp;It is my favorite of all the Zelda games. &nbsp;But this is the first time I&apos;ve heard about &quot;The Ghosts&quot;. &nbsp; And being a computer programmer old enough to have written in Assembly, the explanation was totally fascinating as well. &nbsp; Excellent video! &nbsp;Keep up the great work.

  As a developer I&apos;m always fascinated by the inner workings of games and code in general and it&apos;s so cool that you broke it down.

  My guess is &quot;Ancilla&quot; is short for ancillary (an-sill-ary). Meaning subordinate, secondary, subsidiary, auxiliary, etc. It&apos;s a secondary state value that&apos;s tied to the time and/or the AI state, and used to determine vulnerability.

  I legit never even knew these &quot;ghosts&quot; were a thing, somehow more than two decades went by without me stumbling on <i>anything</i> talking about them. Cheers for the info, and for going so ham on investigating them!

  It was probably planned for the Ku to have a walking variant, but for whatever reason it didn&apos;t happen. &nbsp;After all, they exist in A Link Between Worlds.
