Sacred Forest Meadow

Skip maze

with a ground jump

Discovered by YautjaElder

As Adult Link, using a ground jump you can grab the high ledges and skip navigating through the maze. Having a ground jump stored will also skip the Navi text trigger in the grass.

with a normal jump (glitchless)

Discovered by Kazooie

(Adult Link)

  1. Sidehop to skip the Navi text
  2. Position Link near the end of the left wall
  3. Hookshot the moblin
  4. Aim the hookshot left until the reticle is visible on the corner of the wall
  5. Dry roll (keep target held for the remainder of the trick)
  6. Sidehop left
  7. Backflip twice
  8. ESS down-left roll; switch to holding up-left mid-roll to jump and grab

The video below uses a setup for the angle in step 4 instead of aiming but is otherwise the same.

Alternative method

Hover boots HESS from Forest Temple

Needs info.

Backflip or sidehop from around the entrance of the first maze corridor to skip Navi's text. Alternatively, storing a ground jump will make the text not trigger. On Japanese, Navi's text is 2 full boxes long, about 5 seconds.

Death Minuet CS skip

Several setups are shown in this video (not all of these are necessarily the fastest, this is just a good reference video in a pinch). These as well as more setups are detailed below.

with Bomb

  1. Cardinal angle facing maze (0x0)
  2. Sidehop into Moblin to align with butt
    • Or align with his center then move up to get pushed by him
  3. Target, buffer bomb + down on same frame

The pause can be skipped by holding target+down during the sidehop and pressing Bomb the frame Link lands. If you succeed, the trick will work, but if you go 1 frame early, Link will not pull the bomb, giving you another chance (e.g. by pause buffering this time). Of course, if you pull the bomb outside that 2 frame window, you will waste a bomb and more time trying to retry the trick.

with Bomb + First-person item

These are typically a bit faster than using a pause to buffer the bomb pull.

Sword setup:

  1. Cardinal angle facing maze (0x0)
  2. Sidehop into Moblin to align with butt
  3. Sidehop to wall
  4. Horizontal slash wall, interrupt with sidehop towards middle
  5. Target + hook, start holding down
  6. Pull bomb, still target+down to backwalk

Swordless setup from stairs:

  1. Get in corner near stairs, facing one of the side walls of the maze
  2. 5 sidehops down the hallway
  3. Backflip
  4. 4 more sidehops
  5. Targeted sideroll
  6. Turn 90 right
  7. Target + hook, start holding down
  8. Pull bomb, still target+down to backwalk

Slower swordless setup from behind Moblin:

  1. Cardinal angle facing maze (0x0)
  2. Backwalk past Moblin into either corner
  3. Sidehop towards Moblin, untargeted sideroll
  4. Sidehop the opposite way, untargeted sideroll
  5. Target + hook, start holding down
  6. Pull bomb, still target+down to backwalk

Faster variant of this last one with long roll + ESS turn

with Bombchu

  1. Target either corner behind Moblin facing stairs (0x8000)
  2. Sidehop towards stairs, untargeted sideroll
  3. Get in the opposite corner from your start
  4. Sidehop away from stairs
  5. 2 sidehops into stairs (keep holding target)
  6. Buffer up + bombchu (keep holding target whole time)

Deathless Minuet CS skip

Down A

Start with Hover Boots or equip them after getting Down A.

  1. Down A by targeting the ladder and holding shield to drop a bomb
    • Bombchu can also work for getting Down A
  2. Go to the left side and roll across the little gap
  3. Target the wall (0x8d19)
  4. Flick or shield turn right (ESS turn won't work)
  5. Sidehop right then start moving forward
  6. Roll up slope
  7. Get through corner of black wall at the top of the slope
  8. Sidehop left all the way into Minuet cutscene trigger and void out
    • Re-equipping Kokiri Boots while falling usually is desired to save some equip time, but is optional

No Hover Boots
