Exploration Glitch
Summary
Exploration glitches are a set of glitches that enable Link to enter a special layer that allows him to move through walls.
Link is "under" the room, and will be mostly stuck in this layer, but there are some rooms where you can exit this layer to get back into the "normal" game.
Since most of the underworld screens are actually located on one map, this glitch will allow Link to travel between many of the indoor rooms in the game very quickly. See This map (image) or This map (interactive map) to see how the underworld screens are connected.
This glitch can be used to finish the game in under 2 minutes in the Any% category.
How to perform it
There are several methods for entering the EG layer:
- Loading EG by S+Q during a jump
- Mirror Jumps (the indoor type)
- Clipping
Semi-EG
A form of EG that includes wrong warps, door rewriting, YBA, Mirror or Somaria Block screen scrolling, pulling statues through doors.
