That switch can be triggered from Link's position.
And I finished the miniquest (4 hours 30 minutes), a really cool little gem =) I would love to see a more serious project with those new items and ideas. Moosh has an incredible ease to do funny dungeons layouts.
That's strange. I tried to do this very same thing and it didn't work. Maybe my script is just a little broken...Anyways, it doesn't really disrupt anything if you choose to shoot the switch from there. I'll put some more block all combos in the way anyways, I suppose...
As for a more serious project...What exactly IS a serious project? I always thought I took my stuff pretty seriously. Unless you mean a serious story which I'll probably never do again. Humor is more for me.
