...Isn't this exactly what Parax just did in his video?
Yeah.. Just edited my post. Never did watch that 2nd video, lol. Sorry about that.

Anyway, this time I believe I've actually found something new, did a quick seach for desert palace in the threads, nothing came up.
This would most likely be useful in 100% though, if useful at all, because this requires Nice Bombs.

In 2F of Deset Palace, the top right room, you have to navigate some boulders to have them break some blocks.
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/6440063/albw/sand_palace_%20nice_bomb_timesaver.jpg
However, you can stand where I stand in this picture:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/6440063/albw/sand_palace_%20nice_bomb_timesaver2.jpg
and throw the Nice Bomb up there and it will be able to hit the last block, skipping the entire room.
I tried to do it without Nice Bomb for a while, but it was just barely out of range, I also tried using a bomb and sand rod to get up on top of a sand pillar and throw a bomb from there, but I didn't manage to do that either.
It'd save a decent amount of time if it someone could pull it off without a nice bomb.

I'll try to pay more attention to the thread from now on to prevent double-posting stuff.

Edit:
I managed to skip raising the sand on the 3rd floor of the Desert Palace:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/6440063/albw/desert_palace_3rd_floor_skip.jpg
I made the statues follow me to the wall and jump into me so that I gained invincibility and had them stand inside of me. Then I used tornado rod to fly up in the air along with them. The statues collision pushed me to the right and I landed up on the ledge. I tried it again after, it wasn't hard at all.

Thought about this too! I was talking to ZFG and Faschz about it the past few days just none of us had tried it since ZFG and I have been doing Any% and FaschZ has been looking for glitches. Good to know this works though! Nice Bombs are totally worth it now for that dungeon in 100%!

ALSO, in the room with the blocks you're supposed to raise the bombs up to the blocks, if you throw nice bombs up there at them it blows them up without using the rod... This might save a re-equip if you change equipment for something... Also it'll just be faster in general. I'm curious if you can hit the switch with a nice bomb and just skip the entire room now actually...

EDIT: You edited your post and posted a new skip when I was typing this out... just saw your new update for the 3rd Floor Skip.... Nevermind then! haha

So, I found a way to skip the Dark Palace Maze.
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/6440063/albw/dark_palace_maze_skip_1.jpg
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/6440063/albw/dark_palace_maze_skip_2.jpg

You lure a snap dragon into the corner between the tree and pegs. After that you'll be able to clip slightly into the tree by using tornado rod (or stun it with boomerang after taking damage and walk into the corner).
When you land, use pegasus boots to the right, you'll bounce off the tree and land on the pegs to the left. Then walk on the pegs to the other side, the guard won't be able to see you because you aren't on the same height as him.

Volvagia is throwing together a video for me.

Edit:
Here's the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6N5aYaNLJ5E
It doesn't have the guards, but it does show how to do the trick.

Edit2:
In the 2nd room of the dark palace, after the small key spawns, you can grab it with the Hookshot by standing on the right tile that you're supposed to blow up.
In the 1F main room in the top left there's a floor tile you're supposed to blow up after falling down there. You can simply throw a bomb up there instead.
On 2F, the room where you have to blow up the closed windows, you do not actually have to activate any of the switches, the upper right and left one can easily be hit by throwing a bomb.
The lower right one is slightly trickier and most of link has to stand over the void so that you're throwing the bomb straight to the right, where the window is.

All are kinda obvious, but decided to post it anyway.

Possible to use this glitch to get in the house with the kissing lady?
That has a dark world portal after all.

No, you can't use the Hookshot for that Swamp Palace skip. It doesn't reach far enough. You don't need to not have that room completed to try it, just go in and see if you can reach the switch.

ZFG and I have been doing this in runs, I thought everyone was aware of this since I thought it was documented already

It is documented. In the first post. Tongue There's only two pages, it's not that hard to just ctrl + f to check if something's been found already before posting about it...

Nice Dark Palace stuff though, I just practiced that dungeon last night and didn't think of some of that "obvious" stuff somehow. How would that maze skip be done in a run? Currently I don't think we're getting either a shield or a boomerang, so it might be tough to make that work. Wouldn't be hard to just rent the Boomerang I guess but pushing enemies with the boomerang is so slow...

Lorule Palace Small Key early:

From the 2nd floor you walk slightly down left, open the small chest from behind, then walk back up to 2nd floor.
I do not really think it is faster than grabbing it the normal way and just warping back up because of the 2 empty rooms you walk thru.

I figured out a way to save some time in Lorule Castle.
By using the Pegasus Boots from 3F down to the small key you land on the chest. (karterfreak figured this part out)
By falling down into the lava right after opening the chest without walking to far from the ledges, your respawn point will stay up on 3F, so you'll go all the way back up instantly. This makes it so that you won't have to use the warp back up.

In the Tower of Hera, if you wait for a short bit before picking up the heart container, it just shows the Pendant for you to grab. Relevant for potential Low%, should also work in House of Gales.

Works in House of Gales, too. You do not have to pick up the heart container.

That has a dark world portal after all.

I don't think it is possible. You cannot bring a chicken inside a house with you, nor can you leave the village.

What does bringing a chicken inside have to do with anything?
All you have to do is figure out a way to clip enough into the wall to go through the house or door?


I also wonder if portals always work, even before they are shown.. if it's true, and you clip a bit into the wall where a portal should be, maybe you can activate it early.
Guess the best way to figure this one out is the north east house in kakariko village.

Haha woah, you're totally right, bringing a chicken inside has nothing to do with it. I don't know what I was thinking. I don't know-- would you like to try to clip into that house?
