Hold Items

Hold a list of items from the inventory screen.

Yellow border and circles on an inventory slot indicate items are being held from that slot, The number of circles corresponds to how many items are being held.

When Link is also holding items in the overworld, the held items will be also displayed in the overworld UI with yellow border and a circle.

Syntax

Annotations: :smug

Examples

Smuggle State for Arrowless Offset

The :smug annotation can be used to activate the item smuggle state required for Arrowless Offset for the next hold command, which is when the held materials are attached to Link’s hand instead of being held in front of him.

To do this in the simulator, put :smug right before the hold command

:smug
hold 2 shrooms
# Now you are in Overworld, and held items are attached to Link's hand

You can also put :smug hold on the same line (which sounds like smuggled, hehe).

To do this in the game, you need:

  • A Shield
  • A one-handed Weapon

To perform this:

  1. Enable Weapon Smuggle and make sure a shield is equipped
  2. Hold the ZL button
  3. Hold items from up to 5 slots
  4. Switch to a one-handed weapon
    • Switch to another or to something else and back if you are already equipping a one-handed weapon
  5. Jump and let go of ZL button, after landing, when the shield is to Link’s side, unequip the shield

While in this state, you can perform actions which are not normally possible, such as getting items or talking to NPC. While doing so, the simulator will delay-drop the items. This is essential to generate offsets. In game, you can do this by either:

  • Whistle and perform the action (Dpad Down > A) quickly before the items drop
  • Pull out Bow and perform the action (ZR > A) quickly before the items drop

Stop holding

unhold puts the items currently held back to the inventory

Detail

  • hold requires Inventory screen
  • unhold requires either Overworld or Inventory screen, and will automatically switch to Overworld if not satisfied
  • hold will not work if you are already holding 5 items
  • The held items will only be spawned in the Overworld when the inventory is closed.
  • When unholding, the items in the Overworld despawn immediately.
