[Frequently Asked Questions]
What is SRM and ACE?
SRM stands for Stale Reference Manipulation. This is when the game unloads an actor but Link (or another actor that can carry other actors) continues to "hold onto it" despite it unloading. This allows for other things to load in the spot where the actor was while Link still writes position and rotation data where the actor used to exist. This memory corruption can be utilized to modify code that loads where the actor used to exist which is called ACE, Arbitrary Code Execution. ACE is performed when a game executes arbitrary code, and in this specific instance, we perform ace by using SRM to modify code that loaded in place of the rock Link was holding. The code that is modified is the Kokiri Children destroy function, so when we cross the loading plane back to the Deku Tree room, our arbitrary payload is executed. For a more in-depth explanation on SRM/ACE, check out this video by Fig: youtube.com/watch?v=SPi_d0zhNFc

Is Japanese required?
Yes, Japanese is required so we can form the filename required to launch the credits. An alternative method may be found in the future but it's very unlikely.

Can I use my N64 cart for this? What about Virtual Console?
No, the only platform that this works on is the GameCube version because it has a built in function to play the credits from a video file stored on the disc that naturally plays part way through the emulated credits, presumably due to an audio desync issue. However, you can run this fully on Dolphin with the Japanese GameCube ISO (the one with Master Quest bundled) or the Japanese Collectors Edition ISO, as well as run it on your Wii with Nintendont. However, the leaderboards will only accept Physical Media runs as valid if you wish to get serious about the category. For practice though, it's encouraged to use Virtual Console on a Wii or Dolphin with an injected JP GC rom so you can use the watches to ensure you have your angles set up properly. The ROM is available in the resources channel of the OoT Speedrunning Discord (linked above).

More FAQ will be added if they pop up.

Lunge Storage Door of Time Skip PAL

Savestate 2024-07-16 | PAL is the European version of the game. Link's physics are different due to the framerate change so many NTSC tricks don't work for it, including the standard Lunge Storage setups. I've been requested a few times for this so here it is.

ESS turn before setup so it's easier!
The full left and right turns can be quick turns or shield turns, they don't need to be slow ess turns. I just did that to make it obvious what's happening.

Lunge Storage Door of Time Skip (ESS before setup)

Savestate 2024-03-27 | For those of you who have trouble with the mid-setup ESS version. If you have shield, you can crouch pull sword before the jumpslash so it doesn't have to be frame-perfect.

Void Hole Warp to Heart Piece Grotto

Savestate 2023-08-19 | Update: The first death hole to set next entrance is not necessary; Link can jumpslash into the grotto to get next entrance set.

First, we set the next entrance with death hole glitch, next we reload the room and grotto, then we die while sidehopping into the grotto and heal with a new stored heart container by closing a textbox, in this case: Farore's Wind with Walking While Talking. This loads the next entrance with our void out respawn coordinates and room number.

HESS 231 Skip

Savestate 2023-08-01 | NOTE: There is a big window to unequip hovers. I usually aim for when the OoB water graphic is flatish.

This is a new way to skip Deku Tree by clipping using a HESS + bomb push in the corner shown in this video. The corner is normally hard to clip through (only works with angle 02fx if just using HESS speed) but the addition of the bomb makes finding clipping setups considerably easier (while still being precise)

Inspiration from sockfolder: youtube.com/watch?v=o4VelAy_iW8

WATCHES (Top to Bottom, 1.2)
:: Link's Angle (x16) - 801DB3A6
:: Camera Angle (x16) - 801C907C

:: Y Velocity (float) - 801DB350
:: XZ Speed (float) - 801C9018

:: X Position (float) - 801DB314
:: Y Position (float) - 801DB318
:: Z Position (float) - 801DB31C

231 Skip (Hammer + Shield)

Savestate 2023-07-31 | Too lazy to make a setup without shield, there's a lot of clippable heights on the slope though so someone else can make a decent one with a bit of time.
