SS: Trick Research & Discovery

Kimimaru: For some reason a bunch of SS pages got moved to the wrong game, like to alltp and oot. I though I got them all, I guess I missed that one somehow. I'll take care of it. Let me know if you find any other SS page problems. EDIT 2: Fixed for now

There is a main SS page, it's http://www.zeldaspeedruns.com/SS. A lot of the games aren't listed on the front page, something maxx/cosmo will eventually fix.

New videos from me:

This could have some use in skykeep. Skipping map maybe?

This one is not glitch but still decided to upload it because it's so cool!

Interesting, but probably completely useless. There's two sandsees, one when you're on the boat and one when you are not. There are no loading zones for the other areas, so not much to be done.

Um I though you can just jump down, rearrange the rooms and the door will open. I think the map opens the gate, not the door. The door is locked because it doesn't go anywhere yet. Someone told about this before, but BiT just takes way too long for it to be worth it, but I've never done it myself. On the other hand, I remember the Fi text being really long since she also has a text for your first map, but I haven't timed it.

lol, you learn knew rupees every day. Although completely useless at that point.

I found a new Highflip location! It seems pretty useless but it's funny!

Also, now that i've found this location, we can all see that it's almost impossible to get Link to clip through walls. :/ He was basically through the entire wall at some points yet he still did not go OoB no matter what I tried.

But besides that, it's awesome :D

If we can't find a way to clip through walls, we're going to be mighty short on sequence breaks.  :P Maybe we can highflip more places than we've discovered so far and skip things ala Ancient Cistern basement. I'm playing through it  yet again looking for such places. There just has to be something!  ;D

Oh and here are those Remlit glitches I was talking about. Absolutely useless but interesting! Might as well post them.

Great stuff guys! Sadly this game collision is too good. Maybe there is some other way to clip through like we already have clawshot clip. Like in TWW you need some grabable object and ledge to clip through. We will find new skips from this game when time passes. I'm sure of it!

I found a way to hard crash the game:
When you beat the Skyloftian Silent Realm, DON'T go to the bird statue to open the secret part of Skyloft afterwards. Go to Lanayru instead and do the challenge again. Go to the bird statue in the realm and push A. The game crashes and you have to unplug your Wii. Can anyone verify this or is this just a random crash?

Hi all I have been using this site for a while. But I have never joined it. But anyway this is a minor glitch(if you could call it a glitch)
when you get a monster claw(or anything that triggers a scene where it says you got this item) I found if you jump toward's it and jump strike Link will aquire the item but the little scene won't trigger! It's nothing big i know but it's a way to not run into a scene when you get a blue rupee or other items.

I don't see why it would be random, the game was just confused between the two statues. Since there's no Skykeep Temple to open in the realm, it crashes.

Errr....I just tested that and it doesn't do anything. Link still picks up the item and triggers the scene. Maybe you're getting confused and thinking that EVERY time he picks up a treasure a scene is triggered because it did not work :P

It wont work on stuff like a piece of heart. But like a monster claw or anything in that catergory. When you first load your save find one and get a hop distance away then once you hop into it do a jump strike in mid air and it will give the item to you without the scene. And no im no mixing anything up because i just made a new game save and i did it.

I think someone found this a while back, it works the same way in twilight princess too.

Oh, and welcome to the forums!

I think that trick was found soon after game was released. Still great work to discover it yourself. And welcome to forums! We need new zelda players and glitch hunters.

Uploaded this awhile ago:

Wait a minute, are you saying that, when you jump towards it, when Link is close enough to acquire it, jump slash before he lands?

Oh well that's how it is sometimes. But thanks for the help and if i find any glitches ill be sure to post them here.

Oh well, didn't notice that before! :P Sorry for thinking you were wrong! Also, good luck! We need more people finding glitches! :)

No problem. Im not to good at explaining glitches :P But i'll do my best to find glitches. Ive already found some they are posted on
zelda chaos i dont know if anyone here know that site but i found 2 new ways for bottom of the well early and for ocarina of time 3ds a way to do hookshot clip underwater(if that wasnt found already) I really want to find a big glitch like sequence break or something but i'll do my best and thanks!

Hey, I was just playing the SS intro again (in hero mode), and after the cutscene where Link and them found out his bird is gone, they tell you to go see if anyone in the school knows where, right? Well the gate at the front of KA is open. I thought it always opened after you talked to Pipit? Or does it just do that in Hero Mode or something?

EDIT: After I talked to Kaebora and Zelda they both said to go into town. Did they always do this in the normal mode?

Ruffbad: Yea, there are few ways to skip the get item text. Like if you can on some kind of slope, ladder, vine, using beetle, swimming, crawling etc. In a speed run, the only rupees you get are in places when you can skip the cs. You never need treasures, since people run in hero mode.

Weegeechan: The lower gate opens when you talk to zelda and find your bird missing. The upper gate opens when you save your bird. Normal mode is the same.

Here is two useless videos what I made. Just showing glitches.

Please, this is not a chatty topic. I hate spending time looking through this topic with little tricks posted on page 1 ages ago. Or questions about cutscenes and dialog. There is a reason this is trick research and discovery.

Didn't discover this but it was never really discussed and I think everyone should know about this:

Also I saw someone discussing this before, but I have a video that skips the cutscene when you pick up a treasure, I made it a long time ago so I kinda forgot about this..

Here is some new stuff from me. This happens if you active tower of light early in new file with BiT. Now we need to find way to active it without existing file. Here is tower of light early video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNd-3e6z28g

Here is what happens if you go further in the game. This will save about ten minutes in speedrun maybe. I haven't calculated.

Wow thats amazing! Thanks for finding a great SB! :D It would be great if we could eventually skip ALL Imprisoned fights. They take way too long xD

The trick is banned in speedruns/races because it requires a file that have already unlocked the tower of light.
And here's a new way to activate the tower of light on an already existing file:

(Found by me and kazooie). This means that it can be done in hero mode.

Now all we really need is to find a way to perform this trick without loading a file that have already unlocked the tower.

This is not a SB. If you must do something once, then you aren't really skipping it.

Depends on the definition.
Doing something in the wrong order could be a sequence break, because it breaks the sequence.
However, for this trick I'd just say "early" since we get it early, and the fact that we actually have to unlock it on another file.

Here's a video of my failed escort quest skip attempt:

It has some interesting stuff in it though.. I guess..

Here's a small one I found by accident in one of my SS attempts. Yknow the part right after LMF, where Fi pops up to show you the destroyed Gate of Time? Well, as it turns out, this is one of the very few times in the game where you get a small window of movement before Fi pops up. If you do a backflip you can get out of the text trigger and skip that little dialogue.

Interesting, that should save like a half a min in English. Btw, just curious, do you also not lose the ability to dowse Zelda when you skip the text? I know the dowsing this is completely useless, but I wasn't sure if it's the actual text that makes you lose the ability or the something before/after it. Cause if you BitSave to avoid the text, then you don't lose the ability to dowse zelda. If you've never done that before, when you learn to dowse for the trials, it still says zelda.
