OoT / MQ - Question & Answer / Trick Help Thread

It does not have to be pixel perfect. There are a few angles that will successfully clip you through. You would then have to time the jumpslash slightly different.

For now though, don't worry about the jumpslash at all. Don't even think about it. Just focus on clipping through until you can do that like 8/10 times. Then start to focus on the jumpslash part.

but even the clipping part fails u_u

still trying ^^

clipping will happen every single time as long as you set it up right

Try playing around with the angle slightly.  I had a really low success rate with the angle on the DoT skip page, but if I line it up a LITTLE bit to the right of that, I get it a lot more often.

this is the angle i use and it is quite reliable for me

i jumpslash as soon as i do the sideroll and jump so it activates as link goes OoB and lands in the correct place.

EXTREEEEEEME CLOSEUP o0o!!!

ok i tried it.
still hard but the succes rate is higher now xD

there is no extreme difference between NTSC and PAL, is there? (except the speed)

edit: got it =DD

just need to check many times (more than two times)
it has always been a problem with the angle =))

there are some minor differences between pal and the ntsc versions. you can look it up here:

btw if your playing on pal id suggest you to switch on 60 hz. its kinda weird but the change of the gameplay-speed also affects the difficulty of glitches. it makes them way harder.

the guide is a bit outdated but still useful for older stuff. i didn't know there were gold v1.2 carts. it's fun because it is the complete opposite of the grey v1.0 that i have and is apparently very rare (maybe it will be worth big bucks someday...)

what needs to be updated is the new steal the rod glitch that makes all versions almost equal and the mechanic that puts the MS on link when you are swordless and save except on v1.0.

And also gold 1.1 carts exist.

how do i get out of bounds in lake hylia as adult? acute angle on lakeside laboratory seems not to work for me or am i doing it wrong?

you walk slightly into the corners of the laboratory house until you cant see most of the head, then either JS or backflip inside.

you have a gray 1.0?

fuckin sweet

the fun thing is that back in the day i thought i missed the collector's edition by not getting a gold cart and later it turns out i ended up with a more rare collectible. i even got an used gold cart later but that one rarely boots up.

I have a gold 1.1 and it sucks.

Can someone explain to me what I'm doing wrong with pokey escape?

Here's what's happening: I clip through the guard and start spinning (as shown in the video on the site) but as soon as the text is done, I'm back in front of the Kokiri as if I had never clipped.

What am I doing wrong?

EDIT: YES! I DID IT! Too bad I wasn't recording, but I am actually in shock that I got it, so that counts personally for me as proof.

ok... i'm too dumb for DoT skip.
i know, that the angle is right but i still don't got the timing =(

so i want to ask ... is there a list of glitches i should start with?

the only things i am able to do is kokiri escape and the glitch with the gold scale...

i need hundret's of try's for Infinite sword glitch...
an avg time of 15 minutes at the clipping of the DoT skip
and bomb hovering is impossible because i never did it to do ISG with a bomb ._.

maybe a list of glitches i can start with teaches me how to time the glitches...
because if i continue so, it will take years untill i got it ...

edit: ok,ok
the ISG at bombs is easy with a bit training ^^ sorry

Ya, DoT skip isn't really a beginners trick so start with some easier ones like ISG, bomb hover, ground jump, megaflip etc.  Try some of the dungeon sequence breaks out too.

BTW, I'll be updating the DoT skip page today with better videos and descriptions.

ISG with bombs is no problem for me atm... ok almost no problem xDD
bomb hover just on edges xDD
ground jump... done randomly while failing bomb hovering
megaflip... didn't try ._.

DoT skip page updated.  I think the pause buffer will help you out.

What does it mean in OoT runs when the routes say 'get 4o rupees from chains' what are the chains?

The drawbridge chains before the Market. You can walk up one of the chains near the top and jump towards the other chain to get a total of 40 rupees.

Oh okay. Thanks.

Is there an easier way of getting bombchus early from the bottom of the well? I've been unable to clip through the vines using the skulltula. I have bombs and the slingshot if that helps.

if you have bombs, just get the chus the normal way, it's way faster (blow up the the dirt pile at the beginning, it's right underneath)

Question:

I Escaped the Forest with Deku Sticks and a Deku Shield (no sword).

Now I can't fish at the Fishing Pond.

Is there a way to cast the fishing pole after Esaping the Forest without the Kokiri Sword?

I want the Gold Scale.

Unfortunately, there isn't. Your best bet would be to do it again with the sword.
Or skip the gold scale. Choose your poison :P

AniMeowzerz,

I simultaneously thank you for your quick response and apologize for my delayed reaction. As of late, I find that time is a more precious commodity than any other on Earth.

"To do it again with the sword" would preclude an anticipated outcome.

To skip the Gold Scale would omit a bottle from my inventory.

I can live without the bottle.

I thank you for your wise counsel, AniMeowzerz.

Hi all,
I'm working on trying to get the water ESS forest escape to work more consistently. I get the ESS basically 100% of the time, but I can only get through the guard ~10% of the time.  Does anyone have any pointers on getting through the guard more consistently?  I've tried pausing to cancel the slide and playing with different angles before talking to him, but it still seems completely random.

In some speedrun video, I thought I saw someone go from beginning->pokey escape->DoT skip immediately and have bombs as an adult somehow. Well I did this myself and I can't seem to collect any bombs. They won't drop from anything and I can't buy them from the shop. I'm trying to figure out some way to get bombs or bombchus (which I could use to get into DC and get the bomb bag) I thought maybe something in Gerudo's Fortress would help, but I can't pull off the trick of hookshotting across the bridge. I guess I'm wondering if anyone can explain the bomb bag thing and if anyone has any tips on nailing that trick.

what kind of speed run dot skips immediately lololol
