Location

The Boots are found after Link completes Eastern Palace and talks to Sahasrahla.

Description

The Boots allow Link access to several overworld locations.

Bonking

Known as a "bonk", bonking is where Link crashes into a solid object while dashing. This should be avoided as it is a time lose. You can prevent bonking by pressing <v. This cancels the dash, allowing Link to regain movement. You will also save several frames by cancel dashing before entering Ganon's Tower.

Bonking can be useful in several location for crossing small holes.

  • Tower of Hera Big Chest
  • Skull Woods Big Chest
  • Misery Mire Enterance
  • First Chest in Hookshot Cave
  • Ganon's Tower Refill Room

Glitches

In JP 1.0, it allows the player to perform glitches related to it:

  • Itemdashing is where the user can dash and use an item on the same frame. In the No Major Glitches route, it is used to attain keys by using the Boomerang.
  • Spindashing is where the player can use the spin attack and causing Link to attain Superspeed.

Advanced Boots Tactics

It is possible to hover with the Pegasus Boots. See the page on hovering for more information.

The Pegasus Boots can also be used to store an item drop for later on. If Link dashes into an enemy and kills it, no item will drop. This is used in Agahnim's Tower in the NMG route to store a fairy for Turtle Rock.
