Discovered by ppltoast, exclusive to the Wii version of Twilight Princess.
Press A to open an underwater chest and pause with - on the same frame. Equip an item over Iron Boots to force unequip them, and after unpausing Link will open the chest without iron boots, and then rocket to the surface.
Works with both small and large chests, however with large chests the camera stays with the chest until you do something.

To my knowledge there are only 14 underwater chests in the game (by searching underwater in this document: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1BKkzNcy9CoI0fxXP0qpP8Ony1pb3X1AmsJQ-6_YL8lo/), and most of them arent deep enough for this to matter.")

An actually decent quality upload that youtube wont compress to shit so you can see the textures on the snow, kinda important.
Also the two Wolfos that come from the top are called Nymeria and Ghost ok
I jump attack up onto the ledge, turn until Link is facing directly left on the minimap, then target walk to align with a very faint line in the snow, a bit left of the big dark blob. How far forward you are matters, I kinda line up the line of the collision seam with the top of Links boot.
For this position I clawshot the wolfos just as its about to land from its attack, but for different positions you may want to clawshot earlier as it means itll be a bit further back, so more likely to run up the cliff rather than falling down.
The wolfos movement isnt RNG at all according to dragonbane (apart from how long they take to charge at you, but that doesnt affect how the trick works), and is purely dependent on your position and movement. Its annoying though.
I hold ESS after transforming so that wolf link wont slip, and moving to the right first seems to help manipulate the wolfos to run left. Most HD people Ive seen doing this buffer it, which I havent had much success with, but give it a go, maybe itll work better for you. Have to hold the controller kinda awkwardly,
I recommend running up and just walking around near the top to get a feel for where the void zones are. When doing this trick youre baaaarely not touching them. Also to make the superjump up, you need to be on the upper part of the ledge. If you slip down youll probably jump into the void zone or hit the wall. You have to wait a little bit after the wolfos runs away to release the Midna charge, too early and youll just dive into the trigger, but you dont need to wait for it to get to its final position. If you want to be safe you can just hold there for as long as you want and let the Midna charge release automatically.
Other details are kinda out of the scope of a youtube description. Mess around with this yourself!
