Trials Skip

Through various previous sequence breaks in the game, it is possible that by the time you get to Ganon's Trials, you will not have enough items to complete them. Fortunately, there is a way to skip these trials and head straight up the tower to Ganondorf.

Megaflip

Discovered by CloudMax

Requirement: 1 Explosive & Shield

Go to the lower stairs located to the right of the tower. Position yourself so that you're standing next to the ledge on the 5th step counting from the top. Face toward the loading zone and turn around 180 degree. Place a bomb on the 4th step and megaflip. If done correctly you'll hit the loading zone and enter the tower. This method is very precise.

Megaflip + Damage Boost

Discovered by MrGrunz

Requirements: 2 Explosives & Shield

Go to the lower stairs located to the right of the tower. Position yourself so that you're standing next to the ledge on the 6th step counting from the top. Face toward the loading zone and turn around 180 degree. Place a bomb on the 5th step and throw a second bomb towards the loading zone. Now do a megaflip. If done correctly you'll get hit by the second bomb, giving you enough height to reach the loading zone.

Freezard Clip
