It's all very well talking about triple staircase superbombhoverslides but we're not there yet in our house. My 9-year-old son has finished OoT the regular way, has seen an MST run and a TAS, and his eyes have been opened. I showed him what little I knew:
Ground jump
ISG and bomb hover
Down A (but no applications because I don't know any)
Damage buffer
Ocarina Items (his favourite!)
Flame storage
Nayru love megaflip
and then the Pokey forest escape.
I don't want to say to him "oh just goof around on youtube and find your own stuff" because at the age of 9 you still have to be protected from "the real world" a bit -- many youtube videos have rude comments below them, which don't worry me but which I would deem inappropriate for my son. I figure that I can just show him stuff and he can try and copy me -- that works for both of us -- and I can help him when he fails, because when you're 9 you need some help sometimes. In particular, although he's desperate to do DoT skip I can't just say to him "here's the ZSR page about DoT skip -- now go ahead" because somehow that's just too hard for him (I suspect...).
So...to somehow complement the thread where people talk about the insanely hard stuff, how about some people suggest some relatively straightforward stuff that I can show my son? That would be much appreciated by both of us. And we'll work our way to DoT skip. I find supersliding very tough and can only occasionally pull it off, but he finds it very frustrating when he can't pull it off, and you can't learn when you're frustrated.
