Reported on Discord.

What happens: after the dungeon where you get the Iron Boots, returning to Zora's Domain to unfreeze King Zora: King Zora is gone, the cutscene that should play doesn't start, and the game is softlocked there.

This could be a missing actor or an event that doesn't fire; no other report like it so far.

Please add:

the Hookshot version,
GPU and driver,
the hookshot_log.txt from a run where it happens,
and a save from just before (the save folder is beside hookshot.exe; say which slot), so it can be reproduced.

Thanks for the report. Reports of the same problem are now collected in #2506, which lists this one with your details and links back here, so one fix closes them together and the open list stays readable. Follow #2506 for the fix, and add new details there (or here). If this turns out to be a separate problem it will be reopened.
