An explanation of how a memory-manipulation glitch in the Famicom version of The Legend of Zelda allows arbitrary code execution.
This glitch will only work on version 1.1 of the Famicom version of the game. Don't try this on the NES because it won't work. Shout-outs again to Sockfolder for discovering the glitch and writing this code. Sockfolder is a brilliant glitch hunter and programmer who does similar stuff for other things.
