If you park The King of Red Lions where he can be fired at on Spectacle Island, hitting him counts for points for… some reason.As stated in our previous installment, killing the Octoroks and then edging to the very tip of the dock in Ikana Canyon will put the tree needed to access the rest of Ikana in reach, negating the need for Ice Arrows.If you align yourself just right to the gap in the wall, it is possible to clip into Sakon’s Hideout with the Bunny Hood.Given the more recent incorporation of competitive scenes for Majora’s Mask and Wind Waker, it’s not entirely clear which glitches will be allowed in competitive in the long run, but here are a couple that may be helpful. If you hold Z, you can swim while sinking with Iron Boots.Likewise, it’s possible to backflip over the Death Mountain guardrail as both child and adult and get the Heart Piece check above Dodongo’s Cavern.You can sidejump off the tall tower in Kakariko Village to get the Man on the Roof check without the hookshot.As an adult, you can backflip over Mido where he blocks you in the Lost Woods.Using bombs, you can damage Volvagia while it is underground.In Jabu Jabu’s Belly, you can roll from the blue switch to the door and open it before it locks up again.It’s possible to actually skip a major portion of the Deku Tree using this method. While in midair, you can jump slash to gain extra distance and bounce yourself around.Harming yourself with bombs can allow you to jump short one square gaps.Rapidly slashing your sword or gripping a wall will reduce the magic usage of the Cape.With the Super Bomb and Purple Chest, if you dash while the item is catching up to you, such as after taking damage or using the Hookshot, you won’t drop it.With the Pegasus Boots, pressing Y and A at the same time can allow you to use an item and dash at the same time.In the fight with Ganon, if all the torches are lit, it’s possible to damage him just before he warps with a spin attack instead of using silver arrows.It is mentioned later by our interviewee this week, but it is entirely possible to navigate dark rooms without the lamp if you have them memorized.This week, I collected up a bunch of these exploits, all of which are allowed within Glitchless competitive play for randomizers. While wildly manipulating the hitboxes and boundaries of games as speedrunners often do is intimidating for most, there are still a number of more simple exploits one can take advantage of to get themselves through the games just a little bit faster and make life a little easier. This week, we have a bit more of an informal lesson for everyone. Without further ado though, let’s get into this week’s topic. If you’re new to Randomizer Thoughts, check out our FAQ for a little bit of a lesson on what exactly Randomizers are as well as our previous installment where we discussed item trackers and how they can up your game.
