OoT / MQ Trick Research & Discovery Thread

hey guys i discovered a new way to HESS but it requires nayrus lover to do it you have to ESS of a megaflip so yo go very slow than while nayrus love is still up take out a bomb or chu (bombs are easier btw). about 1/3 to half the time the bomb is gonna explode drop the bomb and stay sheilding if done correctly you will do a HESS.

So is the boomerang really necessary to beat the boss or could something of adault link work too? Like fire/ice arrows or hookshot.

Yes boomerang is the only item that can stun Barinade.

I cant get the clonning glitch on VC http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ZsWUR7-kiE

I think I discovered something new...

I was screwing around with this cheat I discovered that overwrites what the next area to load would be when I ended up in the Water Temple. I was Young Link at the time, and I swam up to the center part of the  level. As I was climbing I noticed a Tektite was approaching so I quick held down on shield so to block the attack, and I just narrowly avoided damage. But then I noticed that the camera sort of locked up and wasn't following me like normal, almost as if I had activated ISG. However I accidentally ran off the edge and fell into the water, which de-activated it.

I'm not entirely sure if I targeted the Tektite or not......

I'm on the verge of being able to Z-slide on a console. Another trick proven possible on a console. :)

Probably old but you can go up waterfalls which have a wall behind them by using jumpslashes. Pointless anyways.

Video or I don't believe it.

I'm sure this is already known, but during a run today I went to play the scarecrow's song and after playing it link just stood in the playing the ocarina animation. However, the last note was never recorded as played, but the song was. Completely ruined my run...

Yes, this has happened to both Jiano and me in races. Really sucks. I do not know the cause, but when you first pick the notes it seems to help to hit the buttons a bit more slowly.

Easy method for Serenade Cutscene Skip

I guess that might be appicable to the Silver Gauntlets.

I'm not sure if this is the right thread to put this in, but I thought it would be kind of fun to share. A friend of mine (he's able to do cucco jump at gerudo) and me are basically going through and seeing how much you can collect as a kid (before collecting Master Sword for the first time) using glitches and stuff. So far tonight we've been able to get a number of things, and we were just having fun with the game using the different hovering glitches with bombs and such.

Normal stuff you can do without glitches - 45 skulltulas (including dodongo one)
      11 1/4 hearts (3 container, 21 pieces)
              giant wallet, all expansions, stone of agony
              mask of truth, 8 out of 10 beans planted
              all spiritual stones and dungeon items

early well -  lens of truth
(cucco dive)  3 skulltulas
              all other items

Early gerudo stuff (got the Cucco jump after like...50 tries, lol)- got gerudo membership
              mushroom in chest (13 bombchus + megaflip) (the mushroom surprised us greatly, we thought there was a heart piece there)
              heart piece on ledge above cell (16 bombchus from chest)
              skulltula in wasteland
              skulltula in dirt patch
              nayru's love
              heart piece on arch (megaflip from gauntlet ledge/hand)
              all temple items except boss key
              all five spirit temple skulltulas

Lake hylia -  heart piece on roof (19 bombchus, from small
              bridge of land)

Early fire -  skulltula in dirt patch (still trying to figure out how to get into the temple without levitate or crooked cartridge)


Early forest - 3 skulltulas so far
              map (megaflip in box room for sequence breaking)

I know this doesn't really...help with anything, but for two rookies at this, we were infinitely pleased with ourselves. And this was all in one night, we're doing more later on. XD

That is called the "Max% Child" challenge, and it is well documented what you can and cannot get. However, I don't see it posted anywhere on ZSR...

Someone should post the full list, preferably with asterisks over things that require RBA.

That's called Max% Child. Just so you know, the only medallion you can get is Water. Forest/Shadow both crash if you enter the blue warp, and you cannot beat Fire/Spirit.

God damnit Ringrush posted like a milisecond before I did.

The only things you RBA are the Goron and Zora Tunic I'm pretty sure. Oh and broken giant's knife.

Have fun getting the Longshot. It's the dumbest shit ever.

Ah, yah, would be helpful, we're basically figuring out stuff blind on this. XD

You can get into Water Temple as a kid? I thought that would be the one place you couldn't get to. 0_0

I did this a long time ago.  I can't remember exactly everything I got, but I know I have the list of stuff posted somewhere, probably the old SDA thread.  I remember you could get crazy stuff like 16 hearts I think, all dungeon items, 4 bottles (rba 3rd), zora tunic (rba'd), suns song, and lots of other shit.  Its been a really long time since I did this so it might be possible to get more now.

Well, we want to do all the stuff we can do without RBA we think, so if you can find the list, that would be cool to compare stuff. Still getting used to hovering with the slingshot method, seems to work only half the time, but once we get a rhythm down then we're fine. My favorite move has to be that megaflip thing though.

EDIT: We were actually able to megaflip into the great fairy cave from above in Death Mountain where you get the double magic bar. Was rather awesome. Not sure if that's the most efficient way to do it, but it worked.

i also did this a few years ago in the VC version. stuff i missed were a couple of skulltulas, bongo bongo's heart container, both hook and longshots and probably goron tunic since i remember RBAing at least the Zora one and broken goron sword.
it sucks that the method to get hookshot doesn't work on VC and i don't want to redo the whole thing on GC.

I'm new here and been glitching in OoT a little time.
I found a minor glitch recently. If it's old, just tell me. I think it goes like this:
Jumping Link warps to grabbing position on ledge (which is clearly too high away) for maybe 1 frame and immediately falls. Then you right away strike the aerial strike, hit the wall and then game thinks you're on ground and cancels your falling but then starts it again, this let you to strike the aerial strike again and doing this repeatly allows you to climb the wall. Does this appear anywhere else in the game? Here's a video:

Oh and sorry for bad English, I'm from Finland.

I'm pretty sure that technique to get to the left hill is new. Nice find.

Wow...this is not like ZFG at all...

I want the old ZFG back :(

Very nice glitch ByrZ! I really liked it!

And welcome to glitching oot! I hope you can find some awesome stuff from this game!

EDIT: What!? Are you from Finland? I'm too! We should talk sometimes if you have skype or anything else. You can also come to irc. I really like to talk you more. Niin ja tervetuloa tälle foorumille! Huippua nähdä jotain suomi porukkaakin täällä  ;D

Very nice welcomes here. I've tried to find a way to get to the crawling space with this without succeeding. In the video at 3:30 you can see that ledge in front of me, I'm very close to get onto it. However, I went there with emulator cheats and it didn't lead to anywhere. Kazooie tarkista pm.

im assuming that these are old and useless but i will put them any way
as child link you can switch from deku stick to sword and vice versa when grabbing onto a ledge.
also as child link if you are trying to swim up the water falls what will happen when you get spit out and fall is you will jump slash putting you back in and higher up than you were when you fell out.
they might work in other situations but i haven bothered to test them

Speed trick for low%.  Getting to mirror shield ledge outside skipping everything inside as child.

Here is new desert trick by me:

Have fun! ^_^

Think I might have discovered some kind of auto save in OoT. I'll upload a vid soon though it won't show much; it just randomly happened. :)
