When passing through Faron Woods after getting the master sword it's faster to transform into human and use the lantern to clear a path through the mist instead of using midna jumps. Because it's not in the correct state however, the mist doesn't visually change so you have to be familiar with the movement to get through.

With good movement it's possible to get through with only two swings of the lantern while in the mist

- Transform near the end of the bridge and swing the lantern
- Jump off and roll twice, walk three steps to pass the beam on the bridge, then swing the lantern again (Three rolls is possible but not necessary or recommended here)
- Remaining close to the broken bridge, roll three times with a stutter step to gain speed between the first and second rolls, then swing again
- Roll, stutter step, then continue rolling to safety

This can be remembered as:
Swing, jump, 2 rolls then walk 3 steps, swing, 3 rolls, swing, 3 rolls

A safer and easier way through is to roll twice then immediately swing the lantern, then 3 rolls between each next swing.

If you void out and end up back at the start, put lantern away before running to the edge of the bridge to try again as this resets the mist: youtu.be/PkdLyX2l1Mk

To gain a better understanding of how the purple mist works, I recommend loading a save on nintendont to practice with non-glitched visuals: youtu.be/vXNHClIpUeE
