WR Route

The optimal route for this category is as follows, from Xelna's notes. For reference, fsg's console WR run.

An explanation video by Thunderbolt, about the inputs used for his WR run on Switch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KzUASO8LZno

A more indepth tutorial by Meowski, the 3rd place Any% runner: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1990821381

Another older video tutorial using a Human Theory TAS to explain the inputs described below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2P2IoqvL3g
(NOTE: This particular tutorial uses the old 1 frame clip method and does not go over citrus inside the cave)

1st part: The clip North-East of Link's house

Position yourself at the corner north east of Link's house.

THEN...

^> + v> (x4) All for 1 frame

THEN...

^> for 2-5 frames

FOLLOWED BY...

v> for 1 frame (no more)

THEN...

Go slightly ^ and start walking <

Link will jump off a ledge...

Keep walking < like in the video

2nd part: After the screen transition

<v for 1 frame

THEN...

Hold ^ until Link jumps in the water

Wait until he respawns then go < a little

THEN...

Walk ^ and slightly <

When Link gets covered by the trees, start walking v

Enter the cave

Make sure you scroll the screen down enough to avoid a painfully slow cave transition

3rd part: Exploration Glitch from inside the cave

NOTE: There is a different version of the following clip which requires less frame perfect inputs. See the Citrus clip page for the inputs. Simply tap < along the slope to find the starting coordinate (OR SOMEONE CAN PUT THEM RIGHT HERE)

Outdated 1f clip inputs

Hold <v into the corner to position Link

ONCE INTO POSITION...

<^ + v (x6)

THEN...

Hold < until Link can't move any further

THEN...

<^ until Link is lined up with the 2nd little bump sticking out of the diagonal wall

FROM THERE...

Hold <v into Exploration Glitch

Keep <v held down all the way until the Hyrule Castle music starts playing

THEN...

Hold < until the Ganon music starts playing

THEN...

Hold ^ all the way to the Triforce room

The End

Swim Route

The swim route is a much easier and more beginner friendly route while only being ~5 seconds slower than the WR route. Video tutorial by SiriusCord: https://youtu.be/-DM_hiHUQag
