trick is obsoleted by doom jump now

saves 1 minute over going up and lighting the eyes. hover can be done with 6 bombs. these bombs can be obtained in fire temple. I usually just get 1 from the pots before flare dancer. optimally with the current bomb route, i enter dc with 5 bombs .If i get the extra 5 this would results in 10 while entering dc. The hover would take 6-7 bombs, thus remaining 3 for the fight. You could also cut out the SS in Kak after Odd Potion since it saves less than 5 sec but then youd enter dc with 7 bombs, forcing you to get the chest in boss room.

Door Strat:
- Get in position as shown.
- Backflip + roll and immidiately hold right and after you jump press Hammer just once!
- Keep holding right and buffer to the frame where the right side of B Button is alligned with the left part of the door (Or top of link's head is in the door but camera can be different)
- Hold right and Hammer JS
- Turn around and do two regular hammer slashes while holding shield after each slash.
- Turn towards the door and enter
