TP: Faster Deku Toad with Normal Bombs Simikins Z 2024-06-27 | See ZSR for more info: zeldaspeedruns.com/tp/boss/deku-toadSaves ~1.5s over the normal master sword one cycle. Similar to the water bomb 1 cycle, doing five slashes with the master sword followed by a bomb hit is enough damage to complete the fight. As the normal bomb will disappear if dropped into the water, the boomerang has to be used to get it to explode against deku toad. The easiest way to do this is to pull a bomb after the five slashes and run to the edge of deku toad's mouth, face slightly towards the tongue, and do a c-up quick toss of the boomerang to have the bomb explode against deku toad's body, close enough for the blast to still hit its tongue.

TP: Purple Mist with Lantern Simikins Z 2024-04-01 | See ZSR for more info: zeldaspeedruns.com/tp/world/faron-province#purple-mistWhen 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 safetyThis 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/PkdLyX2l1MkTo 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/vXNHClIpUeEOriginal ZSR demo video by Trez: youtube.com/watch?v=LxOhc3cCHp0Timestamps:0:00 - Vanilla Demonstration0:20 - Input Display + Debug InfoMain YouTube: @Simikins

TP: Lakebed Temple Pot Push Early Deku Toad [Wii] Simikins Z 2023-02-17 | Discovered by pokemongeniusUsing four or more pots in the gale boomerang, it's possible to jump and be pushed far enough by the pots to reach the hanging platform without an LJA. This allows for early Deku Toad on the Wii version without needing bombs, which both saves a lot of time in isolation, and allows for more routing options.These clips are from the day this was discovered. The trick will surely be improved over time as it's very significant for the Wii version, however currently it's very difficult/luck based.- Collect 4-5 pots with the gale as shown- Line them up on the ground, and throw the boomerang such that it picks them up while returning- As it picks up the pots, jump towards the platform and try to get pushed by the pots. Jumpslash late into the jumpJumping out a little from the platform can help with being pushed, though the direction the gale is returning from is also important. Don't jumpslash too early, as if the boomerang catches up with you it'll stop and you won't be pushed anymore. Jumpslashing stalls you and allows the gale to catch up quicker.The second jump is possible with anywhere from four to one pots (or rupees/hearts) weighing it down. There's no guarantee any pots will land on the platform, so preserving one to grab after the first jump is safest. Spin attacking the chain for an extra swing, in conjunction with the tilt from the pot, is a very consistent method.It's also possible to swing the platform enough using just the boomerang, but it's not consistent as of now.See ZSR for more info: zeldaspeedruns.com/tp/dungeon/lakebed-templeTimestamps:0:00 - Vanilla Demonstration1:04 - Input Display + Debug InfoMain YouTube: @Simikins

Ideally you shoot it as soon as it activates so that it turns straight back before deactivating, but if it turns away from you before you hit the eye you can still shoot it from behind.Pulling the beamos 4 times will mean you don't need to push it when leaving.

TP: Goron Mines Kitty Jump Moonboots Bomb Boost Simikins Z 2023-01-20 | Backslice moonboots bomb boost elder 1 & magnetic ceiling skip, for ILsAnother of the names is "Small Key Skip Key Shard Skip" AKA skskss, c'mere kittyDiscovered by pokemongeniusTargetless method by @jeezhs : youtube.com/watch?v=8rN_0tiNWWQThis absurd looking trick utilises a backslice moonboots combined with a gale bomb boost to get to the next floor up, which skips all of the first set of insides rooms, including the first goron elder (and so the first key shard) and, most significantly, the entire magnetic ceiling. This saves around two and a half minutes for the Goron Mines Any% IL on Gamecube.- Get onto the rail with a jump or jump attack- Aim the gale above the upper railing for an LJA onto the doorframe (mash B while landing from the LJA to jumpslash up if you recoil off)- Align Link's right foot with the dark circle/bolt on the doorframe. This isn't too precise, you just don't want to be too fair either side or the bomb could explode on the rail where you want to land, or the wall on the other side on the way back)- Turn around and aim in first person. Here Link's first heart is aligned with the railing, but the range for this is extremely wide. This is about the centre of the range. Too far left and the bomb will explode on the rail right as you throw, way too far right and it'll explode on the far wall while returning.- Pull a bomb, and hold target. Holding target makes Link hold the bomb on his left instead of above his head.- Toss the boomerang- Turn right in preparation to backslice. There's no time to c-up for a good angle with this targetless method, so you have to snap to an angle. More important than the angle is where you go with the backslice, so you can adjust your position a little based on what angle you have, to account for how much the backslice will slide you across the wall. You want the jump from the backslice to be just before the dark vertical line on the wall. Far back enough for the bomb to hit you onto the rail, and far forward enough that you're still on the highest part of the doorframe (y-pos: 109.1600).- On frame 74-76 (which seems to depend on position and angle, the frame window for the sidehop and how much it varies is uncertain) sidehop and start a backslice. It's important you do the earliest possible sideroll, either by mashing or timing the second input before the sidehop has landed, so that the time from starting a sidehop to finishing the backslice is consistent. - Equip and unequip drained magic armour for a first frame backslice moonboots- If timed correctly, the bomb will explode on the wall while returning and boost you backwards onto the rail above.- Sidehop or rolljump with a shallow angle to avoid the cutscene trigger near the doorWith all else correct, an early sidehop will cause the bomb to return but not explode. A late sidehop will cause the bomb to return and explode too early in the backslice. Because you can't see the boomerang, and can hardly hear it, timing the sidehop without assistance is very difficult.The first clip in the video below uses a metronome tempo of 140 to time the gale throw and the sidehop, the second clip 144. Counting beats of three, throw on beat one, and sidehop on beat 7 (1-2-3, 1-2-3, 1). Alternatively, start with a low number of rupees, and use the timing of rupees draining as a cue for when to sidehop.For further reference, here is a compilation of 21 successful boosts from when I first learned this trick: youtu.be/xth6MUaFAtgAnd here are 7 boosts from Jeez, which helped me learn: youtube.com/watch?v=O8pMGTyZ7IASee ZSR for more info: zeldaspeedruns.com/tp/dungeon/goron-mines#key-shard-magnetic-ceiling-skipTimestamps:0:00 - Vanilla Demonstration0:25 - Input Display + Debug InfoMain YouTube: @simikins

First, get onto the bridge.The fence on the right side is lower than the left, so a jumpstrike alone is enough to get on top. Mash B for a jumpslash as you land, as if you slip off after landing a jumpslash will put you right back onto the fence. The simply roll along the very wide fence collision and jump onto the bridgeSecond, the jumpslash bomb boost1) Pull a bomb as soon as you land on the bridge2) Run to the left side at the very edge of the bridge, and aim at the corner of the plank (the surviving Bokoblin won't chase you)3) After the 5th bomb flash, run off from the very corner, and *while holding target* press B to both drop the bomb behind you and jumpslashThere are multiple working jump and jumpslash frames for this boost, but the frame you need to drop the bomb and jumpslash to successfully boost depends on when you jump. The range for jumping, and jumpslash frames, gets smaller the worse the angle of your jump is towards the plank where you aim to land.With a good angle:- Jumping 24 frames before the bomb explodes has a 2 frame jumpslash window, with a B input on frame 9 or 10 of the jump- Jumping 23 frames before the bomb explodes has a 2 frame jumpslash window, with a B input on frame 9 or 10 of the jump- Jumping 22 frames before the bomb explodes has a 3 frame jumpslash window, with a B input on frame 8, 9, or 10 of the jump- Jumping 21 frames before the bomb explodes has a 3 frame jumpslash window, with a B input on frame 7, 8, or 9 of the jump- Jumping 19-20 frames before the bomb explodes has a 1-2 frame jumpslash window, with a B input on frame 6 or 7 of the jumpJump frames outside of this range may be possible with perfect angle/position and a frame perfect jumpslash.The bomb boost is also possible on the right side of the bridge, however it's more awkward due to Link holding the bomb on his left: youtu.be/UMNpxEywT0A
TP: Slash Goron for Early Elevator as Wolf Simikins Z 2022-09-11 | GM RTA usually goes into the very corner to get out of the Goron's sight in order to transform, but if you just shield his attack you can make him roll up into a ball and transform whenever you want.Not a great video, but just a quick demonstration.
TP: Forest Temple Bridge Turn Skip Jumpstrike Bomb Boost Simikins Z 2022-07-24 | Discovered by Jeez: clips.twitch.tv/RepleteAgreeableDunlinSquadGoals-XXLmhjBjgB6S43SDSee ZSR for more info: zeldaspeedruns.com/tp/dungeon/forest-temple#bridge-turn-skipUsing an extremely precise moonboots bomb boost, it's possible to skip turning the bridge without the use of the boomerang.Shooting the bokoblin at the start removes the cutscene trigger when first landing on the bridge. There are two elements to the skip itself:First, jumpstrike moonboots onto the fence. This has two working moonboots frames. First frame (shown in the first clip) is extremely lenient on position and angle due to the extreme height you get from this moonboots frame. Second frame can also work (shown in the second clip) however requires much more precision in position and angle, as the height gain isn't as significant.Mash B for a jumpslash as you land, as if you slip off after landing a jumpslash will put you right back onto the fence.Second, the jumpstrike moonboots bomb boost.- Staying in line with the fence, place a bomb at the back of the bridge, allowing it to push you back while placing it. Staying in line with the fence is important, as the beams at the edge of the platform you aim to land on extend slightly further than the rest of the platform, making this possible.- Put on iron boots, backhop for positioning, then charge jumpstrike.- One the 6th bomb flash, release jumpstrike, and force unequip boots for moonboots.The jumpstrike release is frame perfect, and unfortunately the exact bomb frame to release is very difficult to distinguish from neighbouring frames, as it's around the brightest part of the bomb flash. Note that in both clips I buffer the release with the item wheel, so unbuffered would require releasing jumpstrike a few frames earlier than the bomb frame shown when paused, to account for the input delay.The moonboots is also frame perfect, on the first moonboots jumpstrike frame, as this is the only frame that gives height to completely clear the sides of the bridge.If all is done correctly, you'll be boosted forward and barely land on the wooden beam. A frame too early or late and you'll get a bomb boost forward but not land on the beam. Earlier or later and you can avoid being hit by the bomb completely.
TP: Forest Temple Early Boss Key Jumpstrike Bomb Boost Simikins Z 2022-07-23 | Discovered by pokemongeniusSee ZSR for more info: zeldaspeedruns.com/tp/dungeon/forest-temple#big-key-without-boomerangUsing a very precise Jumpstrike moonboots bomb boost it is possible to get onto the propellor towers, and in an individual level speedrun context obtain the Big Key without needing the boomerang.- Stand in the corner of the raised plank, at approximately a 45 degree angle, and place a bomb.- Move onto the raised plank, put on iron boots, and charge jumpstrike- After the sixth bomb flash, release jumpstrike. (There is a three frame window for releasing jumpstrike. This video demonstrates the middle frame, where the bomb is black after the sixth flash. The frames on either side of this also work, where the bomb is a pale pink. Note however that this video buffers the release of jumpstrike with the item wheel to see the correct frame, so unbuffered you would have to release the A button slightly earlier to account for input delay).- Force unequip iron boots for moonboots on the frame shown. This moonboots is frame perfect, as you need the maximum jumpstrike height.Once on the post, navigate along the wooden towers and down to the big key. Pulling a bomb makes it easier to run smoothly to the chest without bonking from an autoroll, but can also assist in escaping the area with a death warp.Originally found with backslice moonboots: youtu.be/g1Q9jSkvimM?t=399pokemongenius' jumpstrike video: youtu.be/M0y44sGqHPA

TP: Glitchless Lakebed Entrance Bomb Toss Simikins Z 2022-04-15 | Stand on this ledge and pull a bomb, then throw on the 4th or 5th flash.Saves time and a bomb. Not my strat, but I can't find the original video I saw it in. If anyone finds it (it was a youtube video) please let me know so I can put it here.
TP: Glitchless Goron Mines Key Shard Skip Post Elder Simikins Z 2022-04-12 | A second or so faster than climbing the ladder, but more difficult.
TP: Glitchless Goron Mines Slab in 5 Pulls Simikins Z 2022-04-12 | Cool, do not recommend! Even 6 pulls can be kinda dodgy because of the Dodongo (which I'd killed in this clip) but I'm glad to know 5 is possible.
TP: ToT gale bomb boost Simikins Z 2021-12-21 | Old recording of some successful attempts. Discovered by Ekke- Standing on that pillar, aim the reticle directly at the left edge of the pillar on the wall in front. - Pull a bomb, c-up, and aim up until a specific line is in the bottom left corner of the screen- Throw gale, and LJA right as it hits the ceilingI'll record a proper better actually good demonstration at some point, but figured I should upload these for general reference. To get up to that pillar you need to JA up to the fence, then do a JA bomb boost onto the opposite pillar, then LJA over. Positioning on the pillar is pretty lenient.Two more successful attempts: youtu.be/a1yOvYCjSpM
