0) get ISG on the platform next to the eye switch
1) target the right wall at the corner, sidehop right, backflip - neutral roll - retarget
2) get Link stuck in the corner by moving between up-right and down-right
3) do one sideflip hover left, alternate left and right sideflip hovers 3 times
4) do an angled chu hover (hold up-up-left for the chu drop), backflip
Bakeneko figured out a bombchu weirdslide clip through the first block which allows skipping strength. Go watch the video here: youtu.be/auB4swgTibs
You can also do two extra sideflip hover at the end if you don't like angled chu hovers. The sideflip hovers don't need to be perfect but if you lose too much height, you have to squeeze in an extra hover (make sure the chu won't crawl along the wall).
For Forest BK as child you only need Fairy Slingshot. It's easy to grab the entrance key and the Stalfos key, then just open the door legit and make your way up the ladder. For Fairy Bow, you can either hover over the area where the Floormaster key is to avoid using one or open the door legit again, megasidehop to the door leading to the upper area next to the Floormaster room and grab that key, too.
The first backflip is done to avoid the Navi text but you can also megaflip from the spot after climbing up the ladder.

![hover to Beth area [OoT bingo]
This strat can be used in blackout bingos if 4 Unused Keys in Forest Temple appears together with other goals like Fairy Bow, Map & Compass in Forest Temple, Defeat Meg, etc.
Setup starting at 1:10
- Its required to beat the Stalfos below in order to fight the Bow room ones thus being able to leave that room again.
- I shot the eye switch in advance but you can also perform SoT block skip and go through the Map room to reach the area (you need to collect the keys, anyway).
Edit: Its probably faster and saves explosives if you just enter the room with the falling ceiling by going through the Amy puzzle room in reverse instead of the first hover.
- It takes one small key to reach the Beth room but you can fight Joelle to get an extra one so youll still have 4 unused keys.
- If you hover too far back, youll end up over a void but you can unlock the camera with a chu and turn around to prevent a crash.
29 chus and 10 bombs should be a safe amount for the whole temple.
- The first hover can be done with a normal sideflip hover (drop chu within the first three frames). If you drop it on the third frame (shown in the video), you can equip Hover Boots and still get enough distance to make it with 6 hovers.
Your height of the second hover is determined by the initial hover. I watch out for Links feet being aligned with the ceiling for when to switch to bomb hovers (otherwise the chu will crawl along the wall). Thats usually the case after 17 - 18 chu hovers.
My setup isnt very elaborate but maybe one of the pros could use some inspiration. hover to Beth area [OoT bingo]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/DKI36S7JZfg/mqdefault.jpg)
