The invisible wall merge is old, to me at least. However the side oob stuff looks cool.

I found a couple more things that might have some use.
While trying to find a skip by breaking into the thief girls house, I found a way to barely get on top of the house by using a cucco.

Also the whole house, even the door is hookshot-able, but I couldn't manage to get in using the hookshot-in-enemy glitch, someone might be able to do it.
I managed to merge much higher than I should be able to by cucco flying on to a ledge and hookshotting the house, but that's about it.

Also in the swamp palace you can change items while your hookshot is connected to a spinning switch, everything gets changed back as soon as you leave the menu, but it might be useful in some way.

I still haven't been able to duplicate the inverted merge thing, but this is how I did it before.

Lower the platform and place a bomb near the switch, when the bomb is about to blow up, merge with the wall that will be covered by the platform. That will move the platform up, trap link behind it and give you unlimited energy, making it impossible for him to exit the wall unless you slide out. When I turned the corner, my camera flipped and I was moving on the inside of the wall, unable to exit in anyway.
If someone plays around with this it might be a way to get unlimited energy.

Question: Is the Dash Cancel required for only certain types of ledges? In some spots it doesn't seem to gain any extra distance I think... for example, in the Ice Cavern the moving platforms at the very top.

Short answer is yes; if you can dash off a ledge without falling straight down you will go the same distance as a dash-cancel, although you won't slide along the ground afterwards.
Just for some reason dashing off somethings makes you fall straight, dash-cancelling will let you slide the full distance.
Both are useful in some spots.

100% Big Bomb Piece of Heart Skip Set Up

1. Align with sword then dash https://i.imgur.com/EZXjTbh.png seems easy to align and dashing makes it so you wont lose your position (seems more consistent)

2. or align on the side and then do a diagonal left right https://i.imgur.com/W8IhzLz.png might be harder but i feel like it would be faster

you decide lol

lol this was actually found already but no use for it so

Not sure if anyone has found this stuff, please tell me if anyone knows who came up with it
I found a really big OoB wile expanding on the thing Faschz found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKZCOqmAea4
If you touch a screen transition trigger even while in the air; link will move in the direction of the other screen only falling once the transition is over.
To set this up, I move from this spot: http://i.imgur.com/ituaITn.jpg all the way to the left until your shadow is offscreen http://i.imgur.com/vyUkh0s.jpg then walk downwards until the screen starts to shift.
Then while the screen is moving, hold up on the stick to keep link from sliding down the cliff.
If you do it right you can move around in a huge area OoB. Keep yourself on the edge of the cliff and keep moving along the screens

Follow the cliff up and around until you get here: http://i.imgur.com/UQB4oEJ.jpg
then move down until link is offscreen again: http://i.imgur.com/38BJ3e7.jpg
Face right then dash (or walk, dashing is easier) that will get you across the gap: http://i.imgur.com/E0rm8oU.jpg
Then you can run across the top of a few screens before hitting a wall.
This doesn't seem useful yet, but there are two spots that might have something cool.
http://i.imgur.com/PiSXmAu.jpg
http://i.imgur.com/XO4fhEF.jpg
In these two spots the screen transitions can take you through a wall, where you will just fall outside the map.
However you have one frame to do something before the game knows you have fallen; so you can clip into the wall then tornado rod on the first frame, etc.
I found a couple of other glitches that would let you merge inverted, as in merging to the outside of a wall instead of the inside. But I haven't found a way to duplicate them.

lol like right above ur post lol xD

I think you went the farthest with this glitch.
Try this in the Dark World, see if you can use to get to another section of the darkworld. That would be the most interest and might come in handy in the future.

He didn't. Anyone who has followed the posted instructions has reached the same dead end.

You do realize this is a tall order, right? Where would he even begin looking to do something similar? It also doesn't help that the Dark Palace area is radically different from the Eastern Palace's.

[Squirelofjustice]

I'm not really the glitch finding kind of guy but i'll try other places. But if we all start working with this, we might be able to get from one region to another in Lorule without going through all the portals (not much of a timesaver anyway though).

[Squirelofjustice]

I apologize to all who say that I didn't discover this. I didn't know this was already found and I hardly care at all for the credit. I just hope I can contribute to the finding of sequence breaks and other useful glitches.

You can start by testing different enemies to see if you can get on a ledge.

That would be a good place to start.

edit: another thing that would be super helpful is just taking screenshots to make a better detailed map.

if you go the left there is no more walking on top of the ledge bc it becomes and entrance. if you keep going right there is like an invisible wall blocking you from going any further

I don't really have an image, but you know the weather vane in the desert in Hyrule?

Has anyone tried this: Sand Rod north (the pillars you'd need to enter Desert Palace), then dash northwest to try to reach the ledge by the first dungeon exit.  It seems I've gotten really close several times, but I have no idea if it's possible nor if anyone tried it. But if it's possible, then it should mean skipping the first half of desert palace, and Titan's Mitts skip.

Something to note. If you start dashing too north (aka if you try to align yourself from below the left railing, below the desert palace entrance), then your dash will be cut short and you'll fall straight down instead.

A visual cue for a close attempt is to start your northwest dash from the midpoint of the line between the two sand pillars you create.


A potential alternative is to lure a vulture over, then try to get shoved onto the left railing of the left staircase (By the weather vane). If that were possible, then i'm sure it's possible to skip the first half of desert palace.

If this has been discussed/tried before, then ignore me
