Small trick near the beginning of the bokoblin base/item loss part that I thought was known but apparently its not: near the first bokoblin guard after talking with the mogma that shows you where your items are, you can sidehop down to the lower ledge to skip trying to get past the bokoblin. Its a bit annoying because there's a lava puddle right near the edge and the sidehop barely makes it, but it saves a small amount of time.
I was thinking, it could be possible to save time jumping sideways off of a ledge rather than autojumping because it seems autojumping has more start up lag where as jumping sideways seems like it takes less frames. Both land the same distance.
I also noticed that if you dash at most corners of a wall link will attempt to dash up it but run up the wall in a left or right strangly.
(Hey just wondering, has anyone else thought that Link gets more distance when he jumps sideways rather than running at a ledge and autojumping? I cant really tell if he gains more distance or not though. Ive been doing some tests and Its hard its really hard to tell. Anyone else got anything on this?)

Sideways takes time to set up and has a delay before you can start running again. For more distance, you use a Z+A jump then JS.
Ah I see :P Ah well there goes my theory. I wish there was a way to gain more distance than just the Z+A to JS :(

That sidehop at the first goblin was known. I do not remember if this works, but I tried skipping the map at bokoblin base by performing BiTWW past the trigger that gives it to you, and then do the sidehop here.
I did try it, I just can't remember if it actually skipped the trigger or not... D:

Someone has found a glitch for getting incredibly high scores on the clean cut sword game: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6_Ty50Kais&feature=related
I'm not completely sure what is needed to do this, but it appears all you need to do is start with a downwards skyward strike and then repeatedly spam downward slashes. The totally cut count rolls over to 1 after you get past 65 cuts. This may be useful for 100% since you can quickly and consistently get a high number and then let the game end.

This is, this is not requirred for 100% iirc, he only gives treasures :p

what?? I thought he gave a heart piece :(
nvm then
well, here is an interesting glitch that allows you to walk around an unloaded Skyloft http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mr0IZymc-vs
The uploader doesn't know what caused it and I'm not sure if this could be useful(maybe deathwarp or BiT could yield interesting results?). Several youtubes have commented on it happening and have offered explanations such as landing on the rope or jumping off the bird right after it hits the bazaar.

There is multiple videos of this that has been posted on the forum.
One of them was actually from a playthrough/lets play video if I remember correctly, and it actually started before the actual glitch.
He was flying towards skyloft and whirlwinds started to spawn on skyloft, he avoided it and collided with the academy, then he landed on it.
Also, I do not understand why people keep mentioning BiT and such things in scenarios like these.
How would we even do anything BiT related here? starting BiT here would be exactly the same as starting BiT from a isle? And deathwarping from there would be exactly the same as deathwarping from any other isles aswell.
And yes, the bamboo minigame is completely useless (which is odd). The reward isn't even good, it is a very slow method of getting treasures.
Not sure if this can be useful, but when i was testing my stream this happened. Im not sure how it happened but its there if any wants to mess around with it.

I don't get it, what happened?
Seems like link tried to grab the zipline, but somehow missed. So he kind of jumped high in place. Doubt that will be useful though.
I think there's something to this slingshot skip trick in Eldin I'm not getting. Is the area you can land on really so small that I can only manage it maybe once in twenty tries? And as for getting underground, I have no idea when to let go of and repress A, and end up getting caught every time.

Afaik, the trick is actually pretty dumb and is basically a pixel perfect jump followed by frame perfect timing. Until someone comes up with some magic setup, I'm gonna ignore it.
Guys, please read the topic before posting anything you think is new, especially if it is an old youtube video. Idk, its kinda annoying to hear the same thing over again. It may be 10 pages, but there is so much info in there. Also, come on. BiT is still pretty isolated. Using it from a situation like that sky Skyloft crap really doesn't sound useful or even possible. Well, possible, but as you cant save there, its pointless. Sorry if I'm being a pushover, its just tiring explaining things over and over again. The key to BiT is saving. Where you activate BiT isn't important. Its where you save before you do, and for warping its about saving during BiT.
Was playing the boss demo in target the other day, and when I got to Ghirahim's second phase I tried screwing around. I let myself get hit twice, then remembered that I had fairies and used it. Then I hit the home button and the joystick locked up. Thought maybe it was the controller, but I waited for a bit to see what Ghirahim would do, but he stopped attacking?
So fairy plus home button = lock? I'm going to need to get cIOS again and mess with that.

That reminds of the the glitch this guy had: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HLHDndhwaYQ
his controller was also locking up on Ghirahim, and it messed up the camera as well, but it was in Ghirahim's first phase and he didn't use fairies or the home button.
I thought the deathwarping might confuse the game into being unsure of where to respawn you since you would be in the skyloft overworld area, while in the entrance to skyloft loading area as well, and thought that might trick the game into respawning you in an interesting place(oob, an unloaded skyloft, etc). I haven't read through the pages, and admittedly know nothing of BiT, so I apologize for posting redundant information. My Wii is broken and I only get a limited time with any Wii games and am not very up to date with Skyward Sword, again my apologizes I really be reading through here before posting.
Nah, i was a bit short with you, np
Apparently (didn't test it), if you shoot there with your slingshot (skyview temple entrance) it gives away a red rupee (or something else) and you can do it as many times as you want ?

Might be useful for 100%. Gotta test it though, what I read was not really accurate...

Normally at those places you can only do it once. There are a lot of places in the game though that shooting or blowing them gives you rupees, and I remember being surprised by some of the more obscure places that do it.
Has anyone found out if this cave leads anywhere? I don't think there is a way to get to it without a levitation code, its above the tunnel with rupees which is above where the robots planted the tree of life:

I thought the SS section had a Q&A page, but I guess I'll just ask these questions here:
1) So I'm doing a lot of SS glitches for the first time and I am wondering, would it be faster to do early lake floria after you find Oolo using Kazooie's method? I was just thinking that you could then descend right to that bird statue from the sky, but for some reason I don't know about it would probably be slower.
2) Was messing around and found that you can jump to the branch of the tree for early lake floria (Kazooie's method) using the same dash used to get over the wall if you do it in the right place. Is this new at all? It's a bit more efficient if you are doing Kazooie's method.

I'm not sure if this is obvious, but I had no idea you could do it so I'm going to post this here.
I had no idea but, you can jump slash without Z Targeting. All you have to do is be walking and swing our sword and and soon as you do press A and Link will jump slash. Sorry if this is useless, thought I might as well mention it :P

I actually didn't know that either. ^_^
Here's a small timersaver at Skipper's Retreat: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-IhKn1ZM5zs
You can make the deku plant guarding the clawshot target come out by hitting it/around it with the clawshot. Once it has come out you can clip through it to the target, and from there go to the next target before it attacks you. This skips having to kill it with beetle.

Oh thats good to hear then xD I was just fooling around when I did it accidentally. Think it could be useful in any way?
I just want to make this point since I've only said it on IRC, but doing a vertical spin attack (downward) at a bomb will give the highjump effect but with knockback, and you'll get a high knockback. This could be useful if used to get down to 0 hearts as that actor clipping thing happens at 0 hearts... probably not though, and I just wanted to mention that if anyone had any ideas to use it. I assume the same effect can be achieved with any damage source providing it hits you at the right point in the animation.
Do you know if that vertical spin attack highjump thing works for getting to 0 hearts while you have a fairy? Also, does anyone know if when you die with a fairy, if it causes a dive effect or gets you past a loading zone, like how it is when you die? I don't know of any uses, but I'll think of some. I may test tonight, I'm finishing OoT 100% though
This is kinda obvious and it's probably been done several times accidentally, but when you activate the Time Crystal to get the Beetle Upgrade, if you activate it towards the side near to the bomb patch and never go in the area by the trapped cage, you can skip the cry for help and also the Fi text, which is about 10 seconds.

yeah the clipping through things stuff still works with a fairy

Actually, I didn't know that. I'll definitely use that in my runs.
