Hovering Theory Progress List

[GlitchesAndStuff]

man, I really love hovering right now, and TWW in general. we need more stuff to break

I almost found a Forbidden Woods BK skip without storage and without tingle. Since it's pretty hopeless from the looks of it, I'll leave it alone now.

Also, tower of the gods BK skip is probably possible and I'll make a video later. But I'm not sure how useful it is since I'm not sure if it saves time. (not possible to clear the room anyway without collecting boss key, right? :/ )

I found the same thing when I tested yesterday. However, something else I found was that if you use the levitate cheat from hanging off it you can clip through the top. can we use a bomb to maybe boost us up through the ceiling in there? maybe needs more testing.

it's not possible to clear the room without collection the boss key, and unless the ledge clip + set-up is quicker than the door opening animation it's probably useless. but It's great that we have one just for the hell of it XD. I love stuff like that.

It's impossible to stay at the middle of the room. Link goes too far while hovering. Plus the platform with the exit to Ganon battle is solid and we can't enter from under. I haven't check if the top of that platform is solid too but there's no way to get there from the bottom of the room.

I know this post is old, but: I thought you could leaf out of a zombie hover. Isn't that how some pots are opened already? So why not leaf back to the pot and throw a bomb on it?

You can technically "pull out" the leaf while hovering, but you can't glide anywhere with it. When you try to pull out the leaf, Link pulls it out over his head and then immediately puts it away without being able to glide at all. Yes, the deku leaf can be used to drop bombs quickly during a hover without losing much height, but again for Puppet Ganon, it wouldn't work.

Is there no way to change the direction of the hover mid hover?

[Norkix]

Pretty sure I saw a YT vid in which someone does skip PG. Unless you guys are talking about making the trick faster/eaasier. Haven't been following this thread exclusively so I wouldn't know

Only if you're hurt midair but usually the angle change is negligible.

[Abahbob]

If you had an amazing amount of height, would taking out a bomb and having it explode work? I know the height would be ridiculous for any real tricks, but just a question.

[Majora MIM]

Yes. You can even drop a bomb on the ground and continue to hover low enough against a wall. The angle change depends of the on which angle you get hit.

[GlitchesAndStuff]

Dropping bombs with the leaf will allow for slight push backwards, if you're skilled, I think it can be used to travel backwards while gaining height. Huge waste of bombs though, and magic, and you need to be pretty skilled.

[Abahbob]

Sounds useful. May have to use that if there isn't enough room for a hover by a tiny bit.
