Hey, I was just playing the SS intro again (in hero mode), and after the cutscene where Link and them found out his bird is gone, they tell you to go see if anyone in the school knows where, right? Well the gate at the front of KA is open. I thought it always opened after you talked to Pipit? Or does it just do that in Hero Mode or something?

EDIT: After I talked to Kaebora and Zelda they both said to go into town. Did they always do this in the normal mode?

Ruffbad: Yea, there are few ways to skip the get item text. Like if you can on some kind of slope, ladder, vine, using beetle, swimming, crawling etc. In a speed run, the only rupees you get are in places when you can skip the cs. You never need treasures, since people run in hero mode.

Weegeechan: The lower gate opens when you talk to zelda and find your bird missing. The upper gate opens when you save your bird. Normal mode is the same.

Please, this is not a chatty topic. I hate spending time looking through this topic with little tricks posted on page 1 ages ago. Or questions about cutscenes and dialog. There is a reason this is trick research and discovery.

Didn't discover this but it was never really discussed and I think everyone should know about this:

Also I saw someone discussing this before, but I have a video that skips the cutscene when you pick up a treasure, I made it a long time ago so I kinda forgot about this..

Here is some new stuff from me. This happens if you active tower of light early in new file with BiT. Now we need to find way to active it without existing file. Here is tower of light early video:

Here is what happens if you go further in the game. This will save about ten minutes in speedrun maybe. I haven't calculated.

Wow thats amazing! Thanks for finding a great SB! It would be great if we could eventually skip ALL Imprisoned fights. They take way too long xD

The trick is banned in speedruns/races because it requires a file that have already unlocked the tower of light.
And here's a new way to activate the tower of light on an already existing file:

(Found by me and kazooie). This means that it can be done in hero mode.

Now all we really need is to find a way to perform this trick without loading a file that have already unlocked the tower.

This is not a SB. If you must do something once, then you aren't really skipping it.

Depends on the definition.
Doing something in the wrong order could be a sequence break, because it breaks the sequence.
However, for this trick I'd just say "early" since we get it early, and the fact that we actually have to unlock it on another file.

Here's a video of my failed escort quest skip attempt:

It has some interesting stuff in it though.. I guess..

Here's a small one I found by accident in one of my SS attempts. Yknow the part right after LMF, where Fi pops up to show you the destroyed Gate of Time? Well, as it turns out, this is one of the very few times in the game where you get a small window of movement before Fi pops up. If you do a backflip you can get out of the text trigger and skip that little dialogue.

Interesting, that should save like a half a min in English. Btw, just curious, do you also not lose the ability to dowse Zelda when you skip the text? I know the dowsing this is completely useless, but I wasn't sure if it's the actual text that makes you lose the ability or the something before/after it. Cause if you BitSave to avoid the text, then you don't lose the ability to dowse zelda. If you've never done that before, when you learn to dowse for the trials, it still says zelda.
