WR Route

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

A quick 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: 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Outdated 1f clip inputs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
