Wow this glitch looks really interesting

Now I'll have to mess around with this too!

Also, I'm guessing it only works in screen transitions? Like, as long as the screen doesn't black it, it should work?

Drawkel, if you ever manage to do it again in a fresh file, please post this location: http://i.imgur.com/yKG3TqW.png
That will show the fans still working and you past them. Should be enough to prove it's possible.

I finally managed to do it in a fresh file, it took a lot longer to pull off since I had a lot less hearts.

That does sound like a great find! Me and a few others tried to reproduce it but we had no luck doing so. Did you manage to pull it off only twice, or did you find a more consistent setup/visual?

You can also use Miiverse to take screenshots of your 3DS screens. Smiley

That would be a lot better to use Miiverse, I'll remember that for next time, thanks! I only pulled it off twice, once in a fresh file during a run, and the other time in a completed file. I couldn't find a proper visual setup, but its around where I'm standing in the previous picture I posted.

Sweet! Wouldn't it mean that any gap around that size would be able to be dash canceled over? I'm not sure if there are any other locations like this but, maybe?

I was also testing this in the Swamp Palace and found 3 softlock areas. The first one is the very first door you enter and the other 2 are in the second room through the other sides of the two bottom doors. (if that makes sense)

Something interesting though about the bottom doors is you can see where Link gets stuck.



I'm guessing this is as far as he walks through all the doors when doing the Bell trick.

EDIT: I found that doing the bell trick on any of the doors connected to the boss door room cause the game to softlock...weird.

I guess so. I tried doing it while entering Skull Woods and it did something weird. It didn't clip or anything but the stairs animation happened twice and Link entered the temple normally on the second time.

Also, using the glitch on staircases doesn't do anything special other than Link holding the bell all the way up/down.

I was looking around for some other places that might be able to be dash canceled to and I found an area that it might be possible



If it was possible to get over there it would mean an Ice Cave skip! :O I couldn't find a specific spot myself but maybe someone else could be able to

I believe the HoG dash cancel is only possible because of some shenanigans due to the stairs. I don't think it would work in this area. You can try and prove me wrong though.

Rapid_F and I found a new skip in Swamp Palace using the "new" dash-cancel near stairs knowledge.

Basically dash cancel from stairs to bridge where Link is on the picture. Skips Gigabari and also having to get a small key. \o/


EDIT: Well holy damn, it actually cuts like 75% off the Swamp Palace.

Setup = https://miiverse.nintendo.net/posts/AYMHAAACAABnUYnpto-Cmg

Basically, the new Swamp route is

- Get Big Key
- Get usual small key in east B1 room
- Go to west B1 room, perform the skip
- Grab the key, raise water in next room
- Skip miniboss (Gyorms)
- Fall down to press switch, raise water twice
- Back to main room, press switch to access boss room
- Boss

This is amazing. I might actually come back to running this game.

Wow, that's huge.. I better start practising my lorule runs so I can actually finish a run

I figured out its possible to dash cancel over the pits in the boulder cave in death mountain. This means it would be possible to get to tower of Hera before merge, if you use early flippers to get Pegasus boots. This isn't very useful unless you want to activate tower of Hera weather vane when you do early death mountain.

You need merge to get behind the shady guy though.

Other then merging, you'd need to do some kind of bomb ledge jumping without any dashing involved.
If this is possible, then you could get into the tower early.

if you mean the gap right before the tower, you can fall, enter the cave north and exit on the other side.

Um. You've been able to reach ToH early for ages. Just position yourself right at the edge of a hole (I think it's somewhat specific), when the rock comes and hits you it'll throw you over the gap. You need to do it 3 times though, so you either need 4 hearts, a bottle with healing, or you need to throw a pot over the first gap and make a heart drop there.
