Summary

Exploration glitches are a set of glitches that enables Link to enter a special layer that enables Link 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 in the "normal" game.

It can be used to travel very long distances fast (even across different dungeons). 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.
