An old bug that still hasn't been fixed yet!

If I'm not mistaken, I think this was kept for Zelda 1 authenticity. Notice how the Octorok in the Level 1 entrance of the original game can sometimes walk through the sides of the tree, even where Link can't? I vote "not a bug," but a quest rule might help sometime down the road.

The left side of the bottom-right part of those trees is walkable and the right side of the top right part is walkable, but the enemies always stop at the solid half of the combo if the solid half is on the left or the right. I even saw them stop at the bottom of a combo whose bottom half was solid.

Read the ZC Wiki article about the walk flags. They said it would be fixed soon, but it's been a while since they mentioned that common bug, and they still haven't gotten around to fixing it, so I've got a feeling that it may be a long time before it's ever fixed.
