I think I figured out a new glitch theory based on FAQs.

If I remember right, you can use the Tornado Rod to get you higher if you died and used a fairy.
Well using that same logic then "if you could use a bomb to boost you forward" and "died", you should be able to use the Tornado rod in mid air.
If you die by the bomb explosion with a fairy, will you still have the boost? If so, then try the tornado rod to see what would happen.
If you died in mid air, you should be able to then use the tornado rod.

If you got skills, maybe you could test this theory out.

So, using a T-rod at the upper corner of the stone cluster (I'm sure you can see what I mean) with the green knight on you, you can get on top of the ledge (I think it requires multiple T-rod uses).

Don't see any other real uses for it other than skipping the bell without early flippers. Most of us won't care about that

[KingOfHeart]

You can get on a ledge with a windrod, that's very interesting.
Could lead to some interesting and new ledge glitches depending on the requirements.

Is it common for enemies to pass through in game objects that link can't pass through? I've noticed you can bump enemies through bushes, I'm unsure if they gain 'invincibility' and that's why they pass through or if they work differently to link.

[KingOfHeart]

can you get an enemy to stay in a bush?
If so, maybe you could use the enemy to glitch through the bush without using a sword.
And if that works, maybe you could get an enemy to go through other objects and pass through it..locked doors for example.

nvm what? It doesn't softlock, or someone else found the glitch?

You can leave the room and re-enter, and the key will respawn.

Btw I've had that happen a few times in runs. Partially why I don't drop the bomb before hitting the switch.

Greetings everyone.

I'm new within the forums as you can see, however I've been speed running this game quietly on my own, just yesterday I've decided to get more into the community this fantastic game has and try every glitch posted here.

I've had this kept to myself and yet to see anyone mentioning it, I'd like to tag it as a general time saver.

Thus it's not big, it's actually way more comfortable and relatively fast.

- Using the sand rod to stun enemies and lure them into the spots you will proceed to perform any sort of skip/glitch is faster than doing it with the boomerang or Hookshot

- Reason for it being faster is because the enemy DOES NOT gain invincibility frames to your sand rod as it would do after using the Boomerang / Hookshot

- The knock back is just about the same.

- Only downside of the rod would be the square it works with, however it's easy to get used to and can easily spam it to set your target monster to the destination quickly.

Welcome to the community! Always happy to see new people around.

Even though we were already aware of that (described in a section on the website), thanks for taking the time to post and share your knowledge.

[TheMinishElias]

Ah, sorry! I was thinking about it considering the official speed run guide  only brings up the Hookshot and Boomerang options on other sections
 
Thanks for the warm welcome.

Hello guys!

I've been trying to perform the desert Palace skip for 2 days so far, over 15 hours of playtime trying and trying over and over again, come to the results that so far I've only done it successfully 2 times, why is this method considered viable?

Hi! Welcome to the community!

Here: http://www.zeldaspeedruns.com/albw/seqbreak/desert-palace-skip

If you want to learn all about the Desert Skip, I suggest reading all that page. But if you don't really feel like reading all of that, I'd suggest doing the Bomb-Back Boost method. The Ice Rod way of doing it is honestly a lot harder, when all you have to do is get hurt by a bomb.

Here's a video of the BBB in action: http://www.twitch.tv/viskiv/c/3723680

You get hurt by the bomb at the last second which pushes you further into the portal. Once pushed in further, face down-left and t-rod. Hope that helps!

[KingOfHeart]

You could also leap off and use a bomb to fly up. Not sure if this is easier or harder then the portal method.

Thanks for the warm welcome ! I'll make sure I test all the methods!
