This is a method for obtaining multiple bullet bags from the Lost Woods, bypassing the need for the town shooting gallery as child. This trick relies on the fact that, for some items, the flag that marks them as collected is not set until you close the text box after receiving the item (side note: this is why some items can be obtained multiple times from area duping e.g. the business scrub Deku Stick upgrade, and why others e.g. Goron City bomb bag upgrade cannot). There are a number of ways this behavior is potentially exploitable, including leaving/reloading the area with the text box up or having another text box override it.

The method I use takes advantage of the fact that, if the deku scrub who gives us the upgrade is not loaded when we accept the text box, the corresponding flag won't be set. We can easily enough unload the room by moving into another one, but if we simply delayed collection and changed rooms the collection trigger would also unload. My solution to this is to stand just in front of the unload trigger holding a bomb (which naturally delays collection), and have the exploding bomb scoot you across the trigger just as collection begins. This means that the scrub is unloaded by the time we close the text box, so the flag for having collected the upgrade is never set, allowing us to grab a second at will.

The way I achieve all of this in the video is as follows:
- After the third shot I get on the ladder as the cutscene starts. Being on the ladder prevents item collection.
- Just before the cutscene ends, I climb up off the ladder, giving me Down A (this is 2 frames).
- Since, without a dim B button, Down A prevents me from using items, I quickly get on and off the ladder to cancel it.
- I have 1 frame after climbing off the ladder to pull a bomb, further preventing collection.
- I walk to the nearby loading plane. The bomb boosts me just across the unload trigger for the scrub's room as it explodes.

The version I've shown here isn't the most RTA-friendly; I wanted to show off the fastest version I could think of. It wouldn't be tough to create a setup for doing this RTA -- you just need a reliable method for the collection delay and some position cue for where to stand when the bomb hits you. Another option that I didn't show here is to catch something in a bottle immediately as you shoot the 3rd seed, which gives you control during the first part of the scrub's cs. One could then set up collection delay from there.
