Adventures of Link: Island Palace
The Story of this Glitch (The Greatest Story Ever Told):
I was playing Adventures of Link and was to the Ocean Palace. I decided to get my magic level up before I entered the palace. I went to Death Mountain because I think it is really fun to kill beasts there. I really like killing Daira. And plus, you can get a lot of points in that area. Then I went to the desert in the new world next to where you walk on water to kill Leevers. I found the desert to be the most efficient beast mutilating area. So, I got my magic up to a level 7 and went into the Ocean Palace with only one life. I knew I wasn't going to be able to kill the boss but I thought I could at least clear the path. I had gotten the flute, unlocked all of the doors and had gotten to the boss when the screen went black. All of a sudden the TV screen was black!
I looked down and my cat, Cobra, was rubbing his whiskers across the power button. Cobra is such a jerk! So I picked my little beast up. It was really sweet because he just wanted to be petted. He instantly started purring in my arms.
Ugh. I had to start again. I got my magic level back up to a 7. Same route. Same story. Went into the Ocean Palace. Got the flute. Unlocked all the doors. I got the the boss and still had 2 lives. I was ready to destroy Gooma. And the screen glitched. Fuck!!!! What a bummer. But the glitch was so beautiful. I stared at for a moment before photographing it. But here's when things got really magical...
I turned the power off and the glitch was still there. I took the cartridge out of the Nintendo and the glitch was still there! It slowly faded to a grey screen. The grey ate away at the glitch pixel by pixel as I watched.
