Mysterious Woods Wall Oddity

In the Mysterious Woods, you can grab the upper-right corners of the walls as if they were rocks.

Doghouse Glitch

If you walk into the upper-right corner of the doghouse on the outside, you'll get warped to the Yarna Desert (original) / Goponga Swamp (DX) for some odd reason. If you defeat an enemy before doing this, you'll get warped into a glitched version of Bottle Grotto that changes depending on how many enemies you defeated.

Eagle's Tower Iron Ball Softlock

Hmmm...
To do:
Was this fixed in any GB version?

In Eagle's Tower, there is a room containing an L-shaped barrier on the right side. It is possible that the Iron Ball can get stuck on the bottom of this barrier (via throwing it to where it bounces back onto it), to where it is impossible to pick up by any means. Even if you were to reset the dungeon via saving/quitting, the ball remains stuck on the barrier, thus permanently locking you out of game completion on that save file and requiring you to start from scratch.

This was fixed in the Nintendo Switch remake.
