Possible tas strat I guess (introducing corner walking at 10 seconds) bowserisbored 2024-12-05 | So I was trying to find an rta setup to get to the branch but it turned out too difficult so instead I found a tas strat to the main platform. To do this I discovered a new mechanic which I will call corner walking.Basically if you have high speed positioned correctly then when link runs into a convex corner where 2 slopes meet that usually link can only stand on if he has chest storage then link can stand there for an additional frame. This lets link potentially climb walls as if he has chest storage but many conditions apply.In this video I only corner walk for 1 frame and use it to get link around collision that would otherwise prevent him from getting to the platform. However you can even use it to gain height but chaining multiple would be incredibly precise.The strat shown is a faster version of this youtube.com/watch?v=pNWduzOnDqoAlso for future reference you can charge against the grapple spot directly but it is stupid precise

No Bulbs? bowserisbored 2024-11-24 | This is just a poc. I'm still not sure if it is possible to do it in the corner instead because I did not realize how position dependent it would be otherwise.
TWWHD Medli Skip PoC bowserisbored 2024-11-20 | You can pick up a frozen moblin in a weirdshot. Unfortunately the slippery slopes all over the room makes a setup very annoying.The method in the video doesn't seem like the best method for rta but it is swag. Here I picked up the moblin on the spike that I weirdshot off (which is a slippery slope) which barely can even work (and not really since the moblin dies soon after before it can be positioned onto the switch).It makes more sense to maneuver from the spike on the other side to the skull onto the door to the top of the tower and then pick the moblin up from there. This would remove the need for the bomb. That setup comes with its own challenges but probably can be rta viable.Also haven't tested first person iron boots weirdshots for this.
TWW Faster Helmaroc Skip with Damage Down bowserisbored 2024-10-25 | Clipping on this side is a little awkward but I think it can be consistent. In theory you don't need to climb the first ledge but then I think you need to leaf pump.Now onto the damage cancel chain.If you are at full running speed of 17, then when link takes damage he will be running hunched forward. To get this speed while running into the spike is weird. Only certain spikes and certain angles let you keep 17 potential speed. You also need to make sure not to grab the spike (which clips you back in bounds).After 20 frames you can get link to get damaged again by attempting to pull sword (with an empty hand) right before link finishes the hunched over animation. If you attempt to pull sword in the last 3 frames then the damage will stop link from completing the sword pull leaving you empty handed. Since you are still empty handed this can be repeated indefinitely.This saves about 10 seconds to what WR does. Hopefully this can help TWW break the 44 minute barrier.
TWW(HD) First Room Bomb Island Magtailess Item Slideless bowserisbored 2023-08-10 | The first time you land on the switch the game instantly puts you in the cutscene state. However if you land on the switch as the switch is raising back up the game does not put you in a cutscene state. This allows you to side hop pull leaf and once the switch gets fully down the cutscene will start and link will leaf over to the door. In total you have 10 frames from the side hop off the switch to opening the door. However, while in the cutscene the switch timer does not decrease so those frames do not count.

TWWHD Southern Fairy Fast Clip Out bowserisbored 2022-02-11 | Item slide forward, when you are in the corner turn quickly so that you are parallel to the barricadeThen wait until you see the dot freak out a bitThen crawl forward until link moves a couple units forwardsThen enter first person and item slide forwards out and into the tree (you might want to turn your facing angle before you clip out but you will want to go the direction I face in the video)From there you would turn to get the correct facing angle and clip to forest haven
TWWHD Medliless Moblin Room LOTAD bowserisbored 2022-01-13 | This isn't TAS onlyTrust me ;)It has been known for a while that you can place a frozen moblin on a switch instead of medli to complete this room. The issue was getting the moblin up there. The original WW can use a tingle balloon to cross the gap, but the tingle tuner does not exist in TWWHD.Instead we use a glitch called invisible scalar manipulation or ISM to keep a small portion of our speed after we pick up the moblin. This is because iron boots break at high speeds for many reasons that are out of the scope of this description and is currently only partly understood.Now this ISM may look easy but it is not. Unfortunately you can only keep a very small portion of your speed. You only need 3000 speed to cross the gap, but you need to start with 7-10 billion (potential speed). If you go over 10 billion the game crashes. This isn't the case in hd and needs more testing. But yeah technically this has a 3 frame window for the speed which makes it not very rta friendly (since there currently isn't a great speed indicator).After you shoot across the gap you usually have 1 frame to unequip iron boots and then you have a few frames to sidehop. You can then place the moblin on the switch and then leaf over and get on the other switch yourself before the moblin unfreezes.I barely made it to the switch in time, but if I was more frugal with when I froze the moblin, it wouldn't be tight.Overall I rate the difficulty of this trick as difficult.After further testing in HD, ISM is more limited since links animation locks at lower speeds which makes this trick as it currently stands not possible since you cant get enough speed
Stallord Skip Last Clip Setup PoC bowserisbored 2021-11-07 | hi :DI should say that even the precise angle is like over 100 units so its not that bad
TP Stallord Skip Setup bowserisbored 2021-11-05 | First of all this is based on Jeez's setup. youtube.com/watch?v=qL4u6OzsS7Q What's new is the angle setups.Doshoo helped both me and Jeez with the trickGymnast initially found stallord skip for tasDragonbane found the clawshot actor displacement which makes this skip possibleClam helped motivate me to glitch hunt twilight princessAnd you watched ≤3Setup:get into corner (keep angle from the start of the cutscene 32768 and manip stallord to turn correctly)enter first person hold right for 4 frames (angle of 30720)hold full up until link looks all the way downexit first personkeep holding up for 39 to 40 frames (angle of 30864 note you cant really retry this but it is 2 frames)reenter first person hold left for 58 frames (angle of 60560)2 dry rolls and then a 2 slash comboenter first person and hold up until you look all the way downhold down for 10 framespull out hookshotrelease hookshot and hold up left4 frames after you released hookshot targethold down leftNote:You can item wheel buffer to get full direction turns and if you go too far you can buffer backTo L-slide you need to hold the direction the frame you target and the frame you finish landing (You can technically hold whatever you want on any other frame)The up right and down right stick directions are precise but the corner gamecube controller notches aren't. There is no dead zone, so this trick might vary from gamecube controller to gamecube controller (might even need to adjust the setup if the controller is particularly off)
TWW Rock Thing bowserisbored 2021-10-28 | So first of all, you need the camera to not be facing the rock. This delays when the cutscene triggers. Second of all, you need the bomb to land in a certain part of the rock in order for the cutscene to reactivate when you look at it again. I am unsure exactly where this zone is, but it is presumably some region around where the bomb ends up in this video. Then you are free to get a full roll in and a brakeslide if your good enough. Then you can enter first person to kill speed and turn the camera. Then cancel entering first person. Then turnaround. If you are in the process of turning around with no speed you will not move during the cutscene. The turnaround animation is 4 frames, so you need the camera to load the rock sometime during those 4 frames.
TWW Chest Storage Upcharge bowserisbored 2021-10-21 | You can gain -3 speed per frame but at higher speeds it tends to go to -3 speed every 3 frames.The wall needs to be basically perfectly vertical for this to work
TWW Bowless PG Skip bowserisbored 2021-10-13 | It skips pg without using bowThe turn is full left for 6 frames and item slide to around that position (I just hacked my position and waited for as long as I thought it should take to get there)Mashing was a consistent 14 (with some frame drops tysm dolphin)Keese manip was meh but thats not the point of this videoShould save 15 seconds in HD and more if a decently fast la skip ever gets foundTo get this to skip morth hover on SD you'd need to pg cs with au but still have pg loaded, so not super likely. Also SD mashing would need to be better than 14 since they cant item slide into the position
TWWHD Pickup Slide (aka The Bowser Shuffle) bowserisbored 2021-10-06 | Iron boots are kinda brokenSo have a wall behind you, the item you want to pickup right in front of you, and the destination far away in front of you.Item slide back with iron boots and then enter third person with positive speed to weird shot (you need a lot of speed to have decent speed at the end like 10 million is a good number to shoot for but like around 200 million you will crash)So then once link has disappeared for a few frames you can TV/home buffer holding up and A (This causes link to start to turn around his speed angle and you just need to press A before it finishes which is like 3 frames)Once you finish the pickup animation potential speed will stay low but the calculation for actual speed goes awry giving you thousands of units of actual speed for a few framesThis is going to be useful in a few places in the speedrunLuke found a precursor to this glitch which got me looking into this youtube.com/watch?v=9IXOEtoFp-s
TWW Faster PG Skip bowserisbored 2021-08-31 | This should save about a minuteThe mashing is very difficult but can be gotten inconsistently by one runner atmThe bomb turn requires a frame perfect bomb drop and you need to press B the frame after you press leaf. This lets you slide slowly to the left of the bomb. The higher you are on the bomb the faster you slide offGetting the fairy is janky
Massive Damage bowserisbored 2021-08-05 | If you setup links position as he walks into the morth just right and pull bomb and hold up in a 2 frame window (only the bomb has a 2 frame window the up can be early but it might depend on the setup), you can do vulnerability reset on the first morth damage.If you pull bow and press a, you loose all your speed but reset you vulnerability. However, if you did it early enough, you don't get damaged immediately. This gives you enough time to get back to running speed, which lets you chain the vulnerability resets.
TWWHD Better Helmaroc Quick Kill Attempt bowserisbored 2021-07-26 | This is still slowerIn this video helmaroc gets stuck in the wall when a perfect rng fight finishes the first phaseA more optimized tas might be able to save a little bit of time with this method
TWWHD Fast Forest Haven Clip WIP bowserisbored 2021-07-22 | For some unfortunate reason if you ground clip on slippery slopes into water your speed angle changes to the direction that you would slide on the slopeThis can be gotten around as shown in the videoThe beige parts are slippery slopes however the gray part is a normal slopeUnfortunately you can not stand on the gray slope however the beige slope can kind of push you such that you stand on the gray slopeIdeally a setup can be made that clips closer to the load zone and maybe you can clip on the other side since then you can skip climbing with a precise item slide
TWW Salvage Cruising bowserisbored 2021-06-30 | This is Japanese exclusiveYou can salvage when KoRL's speed is less than 3This can save a bit of time since you can move while salvagingSo you can hold down grapple like normalBut you can also hold down R for a bit When cruising KoRL gains 0.1 speed per frameDue to floats being nice you can hold R for 30 continuous frames getting 2.999 speedIf you go over 3 you can see the grapple arm start to go up so release R asapAs long as KoRL's speed remains above 2 you loose 0.1 speed per frameSince how long it takes to salvage something is rng it is optimal to hold R for 30 frames then alternate nothing and R (of course it is punishing to go over 3 so for rta you might want to hold R for less than 30 frames)Finally it is possible to go over 3 speed since it takes a frame for the grapple to start going up and you can still salvage the frame it goes upThis makes the true max speed 3.19999 (which is what I did in the video)Also I should mention I don't think the spot where you are salvaging changes unless you go over 3 speed but I could be wrong (in case you were worried about missing the salvage spot)In other news GIM was found but it crashesyoutube.com/watch?v=ok3yFTagGiIThis can potentially avoid the crash since when you move the game loads things and if the game loads to many things it reloads to clear memoryThis reload can theoretically avoid the crash and still give the itemHowever it is slow since you are moving at 3 speed This storage method is fasteryoutube.com/watch?v=LsXbEi8vhTc
TWW/TWWHD Fountain Clip While Loosing Speed bowserisbored 2021-06-24 | I faced the way I did because I started with positive speed due to the bad item sliding cheatStarting with negative is probably better since you would end facing away from the tree, making you back walk which looses speed the fastest out of all the target animationsThere is a dip which should be useful for timing purposes and you need about 3000 speedFor this method you need to retarget (while you retarget you need to stay neutral) when link has an angle of 7500 to 2400(The method that ends facing away from the tree obviously needs different facing angles 39690 to 33800)After the camera settles I converted to negative and just wait to clipIf you have enough speed and have the correct angle you will always clip
TWWHD Fast Forest Haven Clip bowserisbored 2021-06-24 | The best angle needs to be around 48000 but the angle doesn't matter too much like you need to change it by a few hundred for it to start mattering at allThis obviously clips with negative speed allowing you to move for one frameThe speed angle is away from the wallThe speeds (potential speeds) that work are -8360 to -7940Due to how charging speed works, the trick only work around 1/4 but hopefully you can get it consistent with a consistent ess?Finally this trick might not even be possible to do out of a charge if the game applies the 1.2 multiplier after you clip (I don't think it does though)As for after he clips, link always seems to snap up to the ocean and if he is under the pond it takes a while for link to swim back upI believe it is fastest to swim out from under the pond and then wait for link to resurface at the ocean and then when he swims under the pond again he will snap right up to itLep got it proving it works on hdclips.twitch.tv/BoxyWrongWheelAMPEnergy-fl0wEhYCpdd5qWSj
PG Skip v6.9b bowserisbored 2021-06-10 | This version of pg skip saves about 2 minutes in TWWHD any%The beginning part was bad but the mashing made up for it (a consistent 13.33)RTA seems to just be able to get this highclips.twitch.tv/SleepyEnticingPicklesPicoMause-5aK7YeT2Tuzh70lXThe keese were very cooperative for me (like I tried for a bit to get them to hit me but when I was low against the top of the roof they wouldn't but if I was halfway above the roof they almost always hit me)I think the roof messes with their line of sight or something or I just got very luckyAlso the keese tend to clump in a way such that there is almost always at least 1 accessible heart and usually all of them get hit by the bomb (them all not getting hit by the bomb is the main concern)Avoiding the bomb is pretty lenient but requires decent timing (I only did 1 bomb drop but in theory you can do 2 not sure what will be easier for rta)Another way to fail is if pg pushes you with his strings while you hover up however with good enough mashing this is rarely a problemOverall the rng for this isn't that bad probably over 50% but the execution seems very difficult for rta
This trick is so free it pays you! bowserisbored 2021-06-02 | Pg can mess with you, but its rare if you slide off the pillar when I did. I think the bomb was dropped a little early, so the keese didnt settle into the best positions. That or the hovering up before the bomb drops caused the keese to go more up. I ended up having to fall more to avoid the explosion anyways but either way timing it is going to be dumb. You want the keese to be close to the wall as that makes the hearts spawn in good locations and you want to hit all the keese (unlike in the video).Overall if you cant get this 100% of the time you should feel bad about yourself :)
wwhd ff1 door clip wip bowserisbored 2021-04-10 | The angle is about 35800The speed angle is just before you slide off the door frameYou untarget after the first dipYou pause buffer a bit after the second dipThen hold slightly up from where you last held the stick for the speed angle(I think using a finger as a landmark could be useful but idk)After 2 frames press A to roll and jump into the door
Speed with Iron Boots and Animation bowserisbored 2021-03-11 | This is not a speed hack just an animation hack. For reference doing this without iron boots on would not affect actual speed. It seems from which animations you change to has a big impact. This gets a change of 30 each frame by alternating between 0 and 30 (animation length is 60). This appears to give the largest boost to actual speed. This is 8x faster than what walking with iron boots usually is.
TWW Molgera Combo bowserisbored 2021-01-15 | If you hookshot Molgera and then then deal the last damage to end the cycle in a few frame window, Molgera will stay stunned for a bit before ending the cycle. I think this is because after hookshotting Molgera he is given a mandatory stun timer. In this state if you hookshot Molgera in a 1 frame window (the last frame before he goes back up), you can rehookshot Molgera. If you hookshot early the stun timer is reset and you get another chance at the frame perfect hookshot.

TWWHD Korless Nayrus Pearl RTA Theory (Storageless) bowserisbored 2020-11-12 | Wind should be southwestTo get oob on the house you can do the beginning of the video below but then leaf to the house after the clip (it is a lot easier than it sounds)youtube.com/watch?v=lo8fKGZr7fU&t=35sThen walk along the oob collision to where the video starts and target the wall to get an angle of 2100Then hold up left ess to slowly get into positionYou want to have a X position of approximately -202194.5I use links left foot as a visual cue. You want it to just have a pixel in between his foot and the wall.Then I go into first person to change my angle to 2755 and do 3 back flips and a leaf blowNow you're X position should be approximately -202393Do 2 bottle swipes to get an angle of 62291Hold target and wait a few seconds to make sure the camera is perfectly behind link and from now on don't untargetSidehop and then homebuffer. If you think you homebuffered late then just fall into the water and reset the setup.You want to have homebuffered when link's Z position is 320780. Pull leaf and hold as close to perfect up as possible (on sd the up angle is really lenient hopefully this is also true for hd) and from now on keep holding upWhen link lands inside the wall and puts away his leaf release upTurn in first person and then throw bombs to blow up the doorIn theory it might be possible to not change the wind direction to skip winds requiem and just do a lot of leaf pumps but that sounds really difficult considering how precise this trick is.
TWWHD Nayrus Pearl without KoRL bowserisbored 2020-08-19 | I pull bomb then wait for the right timing before using hacks to teleport to X:-205397.75 & Z:324464.719 to simulate an island hop to outset.I drop the bomb and start leafing to a precise location. The bomb breaks the top third of the door.I then meander myself near the correct position before giving up and use hacks to teleport to X:-204677.391 & Z:324641.25 since the position was so precise.This position is very precise since it allows me to stand in the middle of the wall with normal collision.This works because walls whose 1 way collision is slanted up can let you stand on it, where as walls whose collision is slanted down do not interact with link, so on certain parts of a wall link can stand (this is super precise though).Then I use 2 more bombs to break the rest of the door.This is a faster version of this: youtube.com/watch?v=lo8fKGZr7fUAnd similar to this except it doesn't use door cancel: youtube.com/watch?v=O_N4Zm9a83w&t=117sIn hindsight it might be possible to break the entire door out of an item slide by abusing the fact that the bomb timer ticks down during the cs but link doesn't fall, but I don't feel like tasing that right now :)
TWW(HD) Gohma 1 Cycle with boomerang and master sword bowserisbored 2020-08-18 | based on: youtube.com/watch?v=dvUvvPMduQIHow Gohma Works:Gohma has 10 health. When she is at or under 5 health she automatically recoils. This usually prevents a 1 cycle.How 1 Cylcing Gohma Works:When you hit Gohma right after you knock her down, she immediately tries to go back up. This lets you knock her down again which prevents the automatic recoil from activating. Then the next hit kills her.In the Video:I used boomerang to knock her down. 9 health leftThe boomerang then comes back and hits her again making her try to go back up. 8 health leftI then do jump slash quick spin.I do the jump slash to knock her back down again. 4 health leftI do the quick spin to deplete her remaining health. 0 health left
