The River Clip is used to enter Hyrule Castle or Agahnim's Tower with the help of Major Glitches

With Boots and the Hookshot

  • Position Link along the slope on the y-coordinate range 5B4-5B8. If you're higher than this, Link will dash along the slope rather than jump. If you're lower than this, you will jump at the wrong angle.
  • Do an Item Dash with the Hookshot (Y+A) and move to the right while holding B
  • If you can not move any further to the right, hold A and you automatically drop down the ledge
  • Dash 1 screen to the right, move a bit down, and continue dashing to the right. The bush is a useful cue for when to cancel your dash and move down.
  • You will enter the screen west of Hyrule Castle and can now enter Hyrule Castle or Agahnim's Tower.

  • Position Link along the slope on the y-coordinate range 5B4-5B8. If you're higher than this, Link will dash along the slope rather than jump. If you're lower than this, you will jump at the wrong angle.
  • Dash Buffer Clip right to at least x-coordinate 5C9. Further right will work as well but this is the earliest you can jump for all of the y-coordinate positions.
  • Hold A to charge a dash and jump downwards.
  • Dash 1 screen to the right, move a bit down, and continue dashing to the right. The bush is a useful cue for when to cancel your dash and move down.
