This video shows how you can buffer tricks, that you can't buffer using the in-game pause screen.

* Holding down the Menu Button and then closing the menu with B advances the game one 60 fps frame.
* It is possible to just hold down a button before exiting the menu, the press will be registered on the first possible frame.
* You can buffer inputs that are usually only possible unbuffered, like talking to an NPC.

Other tricks that can be buffered using the VC menu, but not OoT's pause screen:
* Itemless escape (same as in this video)
* FW Void Warps (you can't pause while the text box is on screen)
* Equip Swap (trick happens in the pause menu)
