Any reason Anwonu kept pausing(meaning just standing there) for so long?
Was he taking his time, or there another special trick that needs to be done.

I think it'd be interesting to see if the game actually checks for the Pendant of Courage when going for MS. (It most likely does. Both ToC cutscene and Lorule Castle entrance check for all 7 Paintings, despite Thieves' being mandatory due to Sand Rod) Of course, that would need HoG to be beaten without merge too. How many spots need merging there? Just the second room? (Tho, do note, no HoG skipskip due to no Boots)

He needed to wait for the stamina meter to fill up enough to use the Tornado Rod again.

Also, you guys are breaking this game too fast D:  Every time I learn a new trick, I come back and find that another one has been found. Great job though

Without Boots, there are a few places that require merge:

Second room, to reach Bubbles room.
Reaching the switch that spawns the 3rd Small Key (Before Miniboss)
Going through the lower level of the pre-Boss room to reach the final Small Key

You could skip either one of the last two by finding a setup for the old skip that doesn't require merging the wall to line up the Armos.

When you release the spin attack, it will hit the spinny spiky thing and it will recoil. Because Link is standing close to a ledge, the recoil will cause him to jump in the air. If you time it correctly, the bomb will explode at that exact moment and the explosion will damage Link and push him south over the little railing blocking you.

The game has only been out for 5 months and we've already broken it this much. I think they need to hire us as play testers Kappa

[KingOfHeart]

It's a good kind of broken though, unlike SS where the game will easily freeze up.

Well, Weegee, I had to do this just to prove you wrong: http://www.twitch.tv/viskiv/c/4138397

Turtle Rock skip. Skips getting two keys, getting the boss key, and doing the old trick to access another room to hit a switch. In Any%, it saves a minute and a half. I haven't timed out the old 100% route, but you can dash slide onto the Hylian Shield platform from that ledge, which saves even more time.

This is the first glitch I've found that will be really useful in runs (only other thing being bomb boosts for the bridge we hookshot clip across and big bomb heart piece skip), and I was so sure about Turtle Rock being breakable, so it felt really validating to just go in and break it.

You can use the statue to Recoil Jump and skip the puzzle with a boost. Most likely works with other positions for the statue (to reduce pushing time).

@Viskiv: Wow man, that's awesome!  I didn't think Bombrodding would work on non ToH-esque dungeons. Does that mean this will work on any platform above Link?

@Rheault: Nice! I knew Recoil BB would be useful somewhere else. The gargoyle statues are perfect set ups for some potential skips elsewhere.

@Nick: lol, wasn't it decided that Bombrodding all the way up to the boss door wouldn't be much faster than the normal route?

[Roadagain]

@Weegee: So far the T-Rock BombRod has no uses elsewhere. There was an idea to do it in the Boss Door room in Dark Palace (To get on top of one of the platform railings, then merge or dash or something right to the door to skip hitting the four light things in upper floors), but seems the railing is too high or something.

If anybody else want to play around a BK Skip in ToH. I've climbed up there enough times for a while now.

[Weegeechan]

Hmmm...I'll definitely mess around with this later. There's got to be a way to skip getting the Boss Key.
