Bongo Cutscene Skip

Discovered by MTA

It is possible to skip the cutscene of Bongo hiting the big drum however it is 1.0/1.1 only.

Shadow Medallion Cutscene Skip

This cutscene skip allows you to obtain the Shadow Medallion as a Child, since the crashes related to getting Medallions as a Child are due to the child entrance records being malformed.

Many setups to perform the "ocarina items" glitch on the blue work exist. Some are dependent on the position of Bongo when he dies, and others are not. In general, initial position setups rely on positioning Bongo Bongo along a seam prior to the finishing blow. This is achieved by moving onto one of the seams while Bongo Bongo is playing the drum. In many cases you will not have a fish, therefore using the Infinite Sword Glitch you can have a bottle in hand, ready to Ocarina Items as soon as Bongo's death cutscene is finished. After performing the "ocarina items" glitch a direction is held, and some delay is used up until the point where link hits the ground. Link should be far enough away that the warp is unloaded, and upon death as the camera turns the timing is correct and the cutscene is skipped. Some setups are shown below.

Shadow Medallion Cutscene Skip with Critical Health

Because of changes in the camera, critical health needs a different setup, and runs will almost always be on critical health here making this one the important one to know.

  1. During the fight, get ISG and catch something to put a bottle in Link's hands
  2. After Bongo Bongo dies, ESS turn or shield turn down
  3. Sidehop left x2
  4. Backflip x3 with bottle OI on the third backflip
  5. Once the camera settles, hold up and press B to cancel OI; continue holding up through the remainder of the trick
  6. Slash twice on the way to the edge of the platform; Link should get to full speed between slashes
  7. Release the control stick to neutral once Link starts falling

Ledge Cancel CS Skip

It is also possible with Ledge Cancel and Sun's Song to skip the Shadow Medallion Cutscene. This is very convenient in 100% because you need to get the Heart Container.
