Tricks/Glitches/Timesavers topic

So, i'm not sure if this is known or not but I found a way to do the portal death warp on any portal. It was first found in Kakariko where you go into the portal (Sahasrahla's) and then merge off the building into the hole in Lorule and then get warped back to Kakariko.

To do it on any portal is really easy. Just go into a portal and then once in Hyrule/Lorule, use an enemy to clip into the portal you came out of and just fall into the void. Link will respawn in either Hyrule/Lorule depending on what side you came from.

I also have no idea if this is useful in any way but I'm guessing...it's not? lol

I also found a bunch of useless Hyrule Castle glitches (but still rather neat). I found out that it's possible to stand on the paintings on the walls (soldier ones)

I accidentally landed on it by doing a bomb boost too early. Once I landed on it I wasn't able to move from that spot. You can walk and T-rodding works but he hits the ledge above him. The only item that wouldn't work were the bombs.

I also found that it's possible to stand on the little ledges in Hyrule Castle

You have to get early item rental first so you can use the tornado rod when there is still friendly soldiers. There are 3 soldiers in total that are in the side rooms that make it possible. Each of them are standing up against the ledges and standing behind them and t-rodding pushes Link on to the ledges.

I don't know if anyone has discovered this, but I found a different dash cancellation in the House of Gales. Sorry for the awful photo quality.

I was doing a run and I'm not very practised with the small key skip with the tornado rod skip so I got frustrated and tried dashing around here and crossed over. Although, after I finished my run, I went back to this spot to try attempting it again in the general area shown in the photo above and I couldn't do it. I kept dashing across the area for a few hours and managed to get it to work again (It's not in the same area as the other optimal dash cancellation) it seems to be on a very few amount of pixels for it to work. I was just wondering if we could possibly implement it into runs sometime, it would save about three minutes. :o

That does sound like a great find! Me and a few others tried to reproduce it but we had no luck doing so. Did you manage to pull it off only twice, or did you find a more consistent setup/visual?

You can also use Miiverse to take screenshots of your 3DS screens. :)

Drawkel, if you ever manage to do it again in a fresh file, please post this location: http://i.imgur.com/yKG3TqW.png
That will show the fans still working and you past them. Should be enough to prove it's possible.

Maybe it has to do with the stairs collision, and that's why it's only possible there.

Undeadfil found a new glitch maybe 1 hour ago. In a dungeon (and probably anywhere not outside), if you use Irene Bell's and quickly pass through a door that changes the room, Link will fall out of bounds. Depending on the door, the place where he respawns may vary, so something useful could come out of this.

We're currently testing a bunch of doors everywhere to see what happens. Nothing has been found yet.

So basically, you have to use Irene's Bell quickly as your about to enter another room? Is it pretty frame perfect or close to it at least?

EDIT: Or do you only have to use the bell outside the door, then run into it?

This. Get close to the door, stop moving. Use Bell then move towards the door.



EDIT: Roadagain found this on youtube. Lol le troll.

Interesting, no boss fight without the girl.
Could get the boss key early but seems like it would be slower.

----------------
Where do you even respawn at?
Is it random? Is it next to a random door?
Sounds easy enough, that I'll try this myself.

edit: Not easy unless if I'm doing something wrong, or it only works at certain doors.
I walked next to the door, stopped, I used the bell, and ran full speed.

You usually respawn at the door. Results vary depending on the door. Anwonu found out how to reach the Turtle Rock Big Key with it (skips a small key) but it's slower overall (and way harder).

For Thieves, we found how to access the Eyegores room, get the small key and leave without fighting them. Still have to time to know if it's worth it. (Need to get 100 rupees chest in water room to even out the rupees lost.)

Is this glitch hard to do? So far nothing is happening for me.

Skipping the Eyegores fight is actually longer than doing the dungeon glitchless, by a good 15 seconds. :(


EDIT: I'll just leave these here for now.

Wow, so much exploration.
Hoping for a video of the bell glitch soon, just so I can see how to perform the glitch myself.

I'll get on that. I persist to believe that we should keep testing it on every possible door to see if it can be useful somewhere.

Wow this glitch looks really interesting :D

Now I'll have to mess around with this too!

Also, I'm guessing it only works in screen transitions? Like, as long as the screen doesn't black it, it should work?

I finally managed to do it in a fresh file, it took a lot longer to pull off since I had a lot less hearts.

That would be a lot better to use Miiverse, I'll remember that for next time, thanks! I only pulled it off twice, once in a fresh file during a run, and the other time in a completed file. I couldn't find a proper visual setup, but its around where I'm standing in the previous picture I posted.

Sweet! Wouldn't it mean that any gap around that size would be able to be dash canceled over? I'm not sure if there are any other locations like this but, maybe?

I was also testing this in the Swamp Palace and found 3 softlock areas. The first one is the very first door you enter and the other 2 are in the second room through the other sides of the two bottom doors. (if that makes sense)

Something interesting though about the bottom doors is you can see where Link gets stuck.

Original imageLoad image

I'm guessing this is as far as he walks through all the doors when doing the Bell trick.

EDIT: I found that doing the bell trick on any of the doors connected to the boss door room cause the game to softlock...weird.

Here's an image of the position for the skip: http://i.imgur.com/mYpqB35.png

I guess so. I tried doing it while entering Skull Woods and it did something weird. It didn't clip or anything but the stairs animation happened twice and Link entered the temple normally on the second time.

Also, using the glitch on staircases doesn't do anything special other than Link holding the bell all the way up/down.

I was looking around for some other places that might be able to be dash canceled to and I found an area that it might be possible

Original imageLoad image

If it was possible to get over there it would mean an Ice Cave skip! :O I couldn't find a specific spot myself but maybe someone else could be able to  ???

I believe the HoG dash cancel is only possible because of some shenanigans due to the stairs. I don't think it would work in this area. You can try and prove me wrong though.

Rapid_F and I found a new skip in Swamp Palace using the "new" dash-cancel near stairs knowledge.

https://miiverse.nintendo.net/posts/AYMHAAACAADMUKlo9FIDzA

Basically dash cancel from stairs to bridge where Link is on the picture. Skips Gigabari and also having to get a small key. \o/


EDIT: Well holy damn, it actually cuts like 75% off the Swamp Palace.

Setup = https://miiverse.nintendo.net/posts/AYMHAAACAABnUYnpto-Cmg

Basically, the new Swamp route is

- Get Big Key
- Get usual small key in east B1 room
- Go to west B1 room, perform the skip
- Grab the key, raise water in next room
- Skip miniboss (Gyorms)
- Fall down to press switch, raise water twice
- Back to main room, press switch to access boss room
- Boss

This is amazing. I might actually come back to running this game.

Wow, that's huge.. I better start practising my lorule runs so I can actually finish a run ;)

I figured out its possible to dash cancel over the pits in the boulder cave in death mountain. This means it would be possible to get to tower of Hera before merge, if you use early flippers to get Pegasus boots. This isn't very useful unless you want to activate tower of Hera weather vane when you do early death mountain.

You need merge to get behind the shady guy though.

Other then merging, you'd need to do some kind of bomb ledge jumping without any dashing involved.
If this is possible, then you could get into the tower early.

if you mean the gap right before the tower, you can fall, enter the cave north and exit on the other side.

Um. You've been able to reach ToH early for ages. Just position yourself right at the edge of a hole (I think it's somewhat specific), when the rock comes and hits you it'll throw you over the gap. You need to do it 3 times though, so you either need 4 hearts, a bottle with healing, or you need to throw a pot over the first gap and make a heart drop there.
