Is there a way to get the arrows for the light arrows without having to go through the forest temple to obtain the fairy bow?

RBA cojiro and then you have the bomb bag(30) in your quiver slot(20) and you can easily buy arrows from any shop who sells arrows

You can either RBA Cojiro and get the quiver or RBA Ruto Bottle to get 1 arrow.

RBA cojiro

I'm sorry for all these questions but I am having trouble stealing the rod (1.2)

1. If you come up on land after you dive, are always in the right spot or is it possible that you still need to be closer to the shore?

2. How fast do you have to mash B? Is there a trick to it or is it just luck?

I have tried this many times and I have only gotten it once; any help would be appreciated!

The way I learned it was to:

1. If you backflip with the water at the height of your ears, then hold forward until Link comes back up to the surface, then Mash A for him to dive; he'll be in the correct location for this trick.

2. The frame you want is when Link is just coming out of the water (you'll see a splash). I pause buffer till I see this frame, then during the lag of when coming out of pausing, just hold B.

Thank you very much I just got it!

An easier way is during the dive hold shield and mash B as fast as you can.

Yes, with RBA.

Hello,

I'm new here and work on OoT any% RBA-Run. My english is not very good, but i hope you can understand me.

My Problem is the Ganondorffight with only 1 Circle.
I do the ISG and when i use the hookshot to get close to him, i often can only do 4 or 5 hits and then he will raise again. When i'm close to Dorf i would stand in front of him...tested it with move a little bit, but i don't know how i must move or only stand on the correct place?

Thanks for your help

Have you stored a jumpslash before using the ISG method? That is probably why you aren't getting the first cycle.

One method you can try is as soon as you Hookshot Ganondorf, turn 90 degrees to the right and hold Z so Link's left hand ends up touching Ganondorf's face:

ISG is in Link's left hand when the sword is sheathed.

Thanks for your help.

I don't have stored a jumpslash. Now i would try it with jumpslash and 90 degrees.

I am having trouble with the pressure jump over the Lost Woods bridge. Does anyone have any tips on how to do it?

Ive trying hopelessly to find a way to skip light arrows and ive been wondering what happens when get behind the bars in the rooms before the ganondorf fight? Does it start the castle being destroyed scene?

No.

Practice, its not to hard when u get it and really if u dont get it first time u lose a little time so a fair few people will just skip it...

Damn i was hoping it did cause that wud have given me an idea

Is there a way to make Navi call for you when you're in ToT? Preferably after you've done a DoT - skip

Steps are in the description.

this is probaly old but i discovered how to hess without water. is this old or new?

well is there a way to forwards backflip in oot?

Old

There is. Useless because you cannot grab ledges out of a backflip in OoT.

I noticed that in the Team 100% route that the Deku Nut upgrade from the Forest Stage is gotten after you turn into an adult. I thought that this upgrade was impossible to get once you turn into an adult. Am I just wrong?

Getting the Poacher's Saw makes the upgrade impossible to get.

I'm new to Zelda speed running so no harsh words okies? >=P

Okies so I was watching an Ocarina of Time Speedrun and was confused about something most players do when they speedrun this game. Like in the middle of the run they would talk to the great fairy or something (can't remember 100%) as big link.  Then immediately afterwards they would sing a random warp song and it works even though they never learned it from Shiek. How did they do this? I was look around the main website for answers but idk where to look xD!
Also I would like to know how they triggered the cut scene for the light arrows o.O

What you saw was Reverse bottle adventure, a glitch that can get you items without actually "getting" them by catching something in a bottle on B and having certain items on C right.  Specifically, poachers saw on C right can modify your warp songs.  The same thing with the light arrow cutscene, by catching something in your B bottle with broken gorons sword in C right, it modifies your medallions, and since the only medallions required to activate the light arrow cutscene is shadow and spirit, it automatically activates the cutscene.

Oh so that's what it was xD! Thanks a lot :3

I want to try speedrunning one day so this helped a lot :3

I'm having great difficulty in the forest temple, I'm trying to do the jump here.

It's the one where you ground jump onto the block and then have to hover walk (well, roll) around the corner and make it to the ledge on the other side. I've tried it a good few times this morning and I can never seem to get the distance. Has anyone got any little tricks that help with this jump? It's really bugging me!

Hi everyone,

I'm wondering how the Navi dive Forest Escape alters the route for any%? Does it mean the Ocarina can now be completely skipped?
