*ALL GAME DONE*

 +
== Version differences ==
 +
Unless otherwise stated, all tricks can be executed on either version. The mostly preferred version for speed running is the GCN version, as Long Jump Attack completely annihilates any advantage to playing the Wii version. Also note that there are at least two Wii revisions, the later one has a few bugs fixed and is not recommended for speedrunning as the Map glitch doesn't work there anymore.
 +
* The Wii version has been horizontally mirrored.
 +
* The camera can be easily adjusted with the C-Stick on the GCN version.
 +
* The GCN version allows 2 items to be equipped at one time (X, Y), whereas the Wii version allows 4 (D-pad directions except Up, and B). All item selections are also theoretically faster with manual aiming on the Wii version.
 +
* Quickspins – All spin attacks can be done by rotating the analog stick 360 degrees + B in the GCN version, with no delays in between. This allows certain bosses to be defeated more quickly, such as part 2 of the Stallord battle.
 +
* The Iron Boots glitch doesn’t work in the GCN version.
 +
* Backflipping off of Epona can only be done on the GCN version and not the Wii version (except while targetting an enemy). This also makes the horse dismount slide GCN only.
 +
* There is a glitch in the Cave of Ordeals specific to the Wii version. Use the Gale Boomerang to put out the left torch on any floor, and the door two floors down opens automatically, even if not all of the monsters are defeated. [http://youtube.com/watch?v=cu54BFmwbzQ]
 +
* There is less lag overall on the Wii version.
 +
* There is a small step in the room with the second monkey in the Forest Temple that can be crashed into on the Wii version; this has been fixed in the GCN version.
 +
* The Cannon Room Glitch has been fixed in the GCN version.
 +
* Fishing underwater and the resulting hover glitch can only be done in the GCN version.
 +
* The Wii version does not lock onto the Gale Boomerang like the GCN version does. This makes Long Jump Attack anywhere impossible on the Wii version.
 +
* Each version has a different trailer.
 +
* In the Wii version, you cannot fall off ledges while aiming the Clawshot, Bow, or Slingshot.
 +
* Midna/Bottle/Epona dive only works on Wii.http://
 +
 +
== Transportation ==
 +
Five methods of transportation arranged from fastest to slowest:
 +
# Epona
 +
# Wolf Dashing
 +
# Rolling
 +
# Sidestep
 +
# Walk
 +
# Backwalk
 +
[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUhDjIG6yew Comparison]
 +
Rolling is about four seconds faster than Backslash. However, if you are already facing the correct
 +
 
 +
  way, Backslash starts off faster and three of them are faster than three rolls.
 +
 
 +
 
 +
== Attacks and Damage Calculations ==
 +
 +
* Horizontal Slice
 +
* Vertical Slice
 +
* Stab
 +
* Jump Attack
 +
* Spin Attack
 +
* Bomb
 +
* Arrow
 +
* Bomb Arrow
 +
* Ball and Chain
 +
* Clawshot
 +
* Slingshot
 +
* Spinner
 +
* Iron Boots
 +
* HS1: Ending Blow
 +
* HS2: Shield Attack
 +
* HS3: Back Slice
 +
* HS4: Helm Splitter
 +
* HS5: Mortal Draw
 +
* HS6: Jump Slash
 +
* HS7: Great Spin
 +
* Bite (Wolf)
 +
* Jump Attack (Wolf)
 +
* Dark-Energy Attack (Wolf)
 +
None of the actual “damage values” are actually known at this point, and it is speculated that some attacks deal more damage to certain enemies than others, which complicates matters quite a bit

Note: You might need another 10 for another trip with Fyer's cannon
 +
 +
== General Tactics ==
 +
http://
 +
 +
=== Skipping Cutscenes ===
 +
To skip cutscenes, press the minus button twice on the Wii version or the start button twice on the GCN version. In general,
 +
* All boss introduction scenes CAN be skipped, but transition and death scenes CANNOT.
 +
* No warping scenes can be skipped except ones where you are warping an object. If you are warping an object, you can skip the cutscene where you warp away, but not the one when you arrive at your destination.
 +
There are exceptions, however. When in doubt, just try skipping; you do not lose any time.http://
 +
 +
=== Rupee Text Skip ===
 +
Sidehop over a Rupee that normally gives you text when you collect it to collect the Rupee without getting the text. Use it whenever possible, though if you'll be collecting a lot of Rupees that normally gives you text, it might end up being slower to align and perform a sidehop every time than just viewing the text. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4ixi1IuvW4]http://
 +
 +
=== Damage Boosting ===
 +
There are three known useful ways to damage boost using Bombs:
 +
* Jump off a cliff and drop the bomb by pulling out your sword or another item. You can then follow it with a jumpslash.
 +
* Jump without releasing the bomb to be boosted to the side.
 +
* Set the bomb on the ground and use a Jump Attack, Jump Strike, Back Slice, or other move that gets height to jump over the bomb at the right time.http://
 +
 +
=== Super Jump ===
 +
Encase an enemy in Midna's Dark Energy Field and either move away from the enemy or let the enemy move away from you. You will get quite a bit of height/distance doing this.http://
 +
 +
=== Long Jump Attack ===
 +
Perform a jump attack while locked onto something that is higher than you are. Depending on where the object is, you may get an extremely long jump attack that can be used to cross large gaps. On the GCN version, the Gale Boomerang can be used as the object, allowing it to be done anywhere. No such thing has been found on the Wii version so far.http://
 +
 +
==== How to execute ====
 +
 +
# Take out and throw the Gale Boomerang via the X or Y button.
 +
# Draw your sword with B while the whirlwind flies.
 +
# As the whirlwind returns towards you, press A to jump.
 +
Do not press the L button at any time.
 +
 +
You will usually get an LJA when the boomerang is over voids and ledges that are higher than the ledge you are on.http://
 +
 +
==== Known uses ====
 +
 +
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yS2O5famw0Y Skip the entire second half of the Forest Temple]

Version differences

Unless otherwise stated, all tricks can be executed on either version. The mostly preferred version for speed running is the GCN version, as Long Jump Attack completely annihilates any advantage to playing the Wii version. Also note that there are at least two Wii revisions, the later one has a few bugs fixed and is not recommended for speedrunning as the Map glitch doesn't work there anymore.

  • The Wii version has been horizontally mirrored.
  • The camera can be easily adjusted with the C-Stick on the GCN version.
  • The GCN version allows 2 items to be equipped at one time (X, Y), whereas the Wii version allows 4 (D-pad directions except Up, and B). All item selections are also theoretically faster with manual aiming on the Wii version.
  • Quickspins – All spin attacks can be done by rotating the analog stick 360 degrees + B in the GCN version, with no delays in between. This allows certain bosses to be defeated more quickly, such as part 2 of the Stallord battle.
  • The Iron Boots glitch doesn’t work in the GCN version.
  • Backflipping off of Epona can only be done on the GCN version and not the Wii version (except while targetting an enemy). This also makes the horse dismount slide GCN only.
  • There is a glitch in the Cave of Ordeals specific to the Wii version. Use the Gale Boomerang to put out the left torch on any floor, and the door two floors down opens automatically, even if not all of the monsters are defeated. [1]
  • There is less lag overall on the Wii version.
  • There is a small step in the room with the second monkey in the Forest Temple that can be crashed into on the Wii version; this has been fixed in the GCN version.
  • The Cannon Room Glitch has been fixed in the GCN version.
  • Fishing underwater and the resulting hover glitch can only be done in the GCN version.
  • The Wii version does not lock onto the Gale Boomerang like the GCN version does. This makes Long Jump Attack anywhere impossible on the Wii version.
  • Each version has a different trailer.
  • In the Wii version, you cannot fall off ledges while aiming the Clawshot, Bow, or Slingshot.
  • Midna/Bottle/Epona dive only works on Wii.http://

Transportation

Five methods of transportation arranged from fastest to slowest:

  1. Epona
  2. Wolf Dashing
  3. Rolling
  4. Sidestep
  5. Walk
  6. Backwalk

Comparison 

Rolling is about four seconds faster than Backslash. However, if you are already facing the correct
 
 way, Backslash starts off faster and three of them are faster than three rolls.

General Tactics

http://

Skipping Cutscenes

To skip cutscenes, press the minus button twice on the Wii version or the start button twice on the GCN version. In general,

  • All boss introduction scenes CAN be skipped, but transition and death scenes CANNOT.
  • No warping scenes can be skipped except ones where you are warping an object. If you are warping an object, you can skip the cutscene where you warp away, but not the one when you arrive at your destination.

There are exceptions, however. When in doubt, just try skipping; you do not lose any time.http://

Rupee Text Skip

Sidehop over a Rupee that normally gives you text when you collect it to collect the Rupee without getting the text. Use it whenever possible, though if you'll be collecting a lot of Rupees that normally gives you text, it might end up being slower to align and perform a sidehop every time than just viewing the text. [2]http://

Damage Boosting

There are three known useful ways to damage boost using Bombs:

  • Jump off a cliff and drop the bomb by pulling out your sword or another item. You can then follow it with a jumpslash.
  • Jump without releasing the bomb to be boosted to the side.
  • Set the bomb on the ground and use a Jump Attack, Jump Strike, Back Slice, or other move that gets height to jump over the bomb at the right time.http://

Super Jump

Encase an enemy in Midna's Dark Energy Field and either move away from the enemy or let the enemy move away from you. You will get quite a bit of height/distance doing this.http://

Long Jump Attack

Perform a jump attack while locked onto something that is higher than you are. Depending on where the object is, you may get an extremely long jump attack that can be used to cross large gaps. On the GCN version, the Gale Boomerang can be used as the object, allowing it to be done anywhere. No such thing has been found on the Wii version so far.http://

How to execute

  1. Take out and throw the Gale Boomerang via the X or Y button.
  2. Draw your sword with B while the whirlwind flies.
  3. As the whirlwind returns towards you, press A to jump.

Do not press the L button at any time.

You will usually get an LJA when the boomerang is over voids and ledges that are higher than the ledge you are on.http://
