Beating Shadow Temple Early

[@askylibrarianoftheoceans4102]

And _that's_ how you can use the hoverslide trick in the water temple

[@DennisComella]

Fun fact: Bongo Bongo is the only boss that you cannot defeat with the Megaton Hammer. (Dead Hand is also immune.)

[@graysongardner3902]

@@DennisComella Actually, I'm pretty sure that with a crouch stab from the hammer, you can beat Bongo Bongo, but with power crouch stabbing, it's hard to pull off, also I think it's a little over 30 crouch stabs

[@DennisComella]

@@graysongardner3902 Yes! But only because it counts as "sword damage" due to a glitch. Technically it's the last attack's damage AFAIK.

[@graysongardner3902]

@@DennisComella Really, that's so fascinating, I never knew that!

[@graysongardner3902]

@@DennisComella Is it the same attack power as the kokiri sword, master sword, or just "sword damage" of its own kind?

[@DennisComella]

@@graysongardner3902 you can do this in a swordless challenge! Otherwise you'll have to glitch into the temple as child Link to use deku sticks.

My favorite part of OOC is the rules that let you progress. All the Spiritual Stones? Go to Temple of Time. Forest, Fire, Water Temple? GO to Shadow. Just did Forest and Water? Go to Spirit (idr if the hammer is required once inside). The Game only checks if the Spirit and Shadow Medallions have been acquired before the bridge to Ganon's castle appear, therefore with glitches you can skip the first 3 temples. Of course with glitches you can just bomb hover to Ganon's without any Temples complete.

By far my favorite Zelda channel!

[@mario4356]

I sadly learned more from this video about Ocarina than most shitty google news articles on gaming that repost the same basic shit we've known for years I never knew you could just enter early like that and wall clip at the block puzzle section or even jump up onto the wheel of the boat.

[@notmyname213]

This is a great guide for OOT rando! Great work! I see ZFG and other rando runners doing these tricks, so it's so cool to see an explanation and guide for how they work!

[@catspeakrightmeow2643]

No Bongo quick kill strats? Other than that awesome videos man, been loving them. I like how you actually explain each glitch and don't just say the name of it and move on. Even for simple stuff like ground jump, it's extremely helpful for newbies. I think it's very cool you are compiling all the tech in single videos and making OoT speedrunning more accessible!

[@iangulline]

If you're referring to the strat of dropping a bomb down the left side of the entrance hole and killing Bongo before the opening cutscene, that trick is version exclusive to 1.0 and maybe 1.1, and is quite easy to softlock the player if done incorrectly, which takes it outside the scope of an introductory, accessible tutorial video

[@catspeakrightmeow2643]

@@iangulline That's very true. Can you not also just isg off of Bongo himself during the fight and then not even have to worry about hookshot timing?

You can go down the well early right? There's nothing stopping you other than learning song of storms. So you can get lens of truth and save a lot of the headache from not having it. This makes me kinda wish they had made all five dungeons non-linear. Story-wise, there's not really any reason you need to complete any one of them before the others. It would probably have been enough for the game to encourage a play order but not enforce it. Though since completing later dungeons requires prior items, the dungeons would need alternative solutions to those puzzles (kind of like bombing the pillar at the end of shadow temple), or they'd have to make those puzzles optional to complete the dungeon.

[@alejandroenriqueyanesaparc6796]

@@lkjkhfggd technically the first three temples of adult link can be done in any order, because if I remember correctly, the water temple only have one room that needs the megaton hammer and it's just for a skulltula, and the fire Temple only have a room that if you use the bow it let you to open a door to go back, something that you can archive with farore's wind. Even though I still believe is quite necessary to have the bow in the water temple but only to enter in one room, the one who needs the Longshot to enter after you shoot an arrow in an eye, but I don't remember what was in that room. The last two temples also can be done in any order but they require the items of the first three temples so we can't do them first tho

[@SuperM190]

Last time I was this early I was young link

[@roddydykes7053]

I think I’ll just do them in order

[@Yes_lawl]

I just saw this video today. I just was playing on my 3DS OOT save and I did Shadow Temple first too for the hover boots because they’re OP

[@leahd4016]

I believe with the bomb flowers next to the tower you can just use arrows and shoot the top of it too.

[@bradleyengland5335]

Bro, I’m impressed and scared for how people find these kind of tricks o ur.

[@michaeldineen5818]

How did you become adult link without getting the light medallion?

[@360EGO]

@@michaeldineen5818 darn, you beat me to it

[@OnlyTAS]

I know you can erase medalions with RBA (and maybe SRM), so maybe that?

[@TainoMoya]

dope guide

[@spyrochrisgaming]

If OoT was remade today, they would probably allow you to complete the dungeons in any order and this is what it'd probably be designed like, except you wouldn't need glitches. Neat?

[@DreamEaterMusic]

Now I gotta replay oot just to do this 😮‍💨

[@benjammn2157]

Currently playing through oot 3d and now I need to get a new oot n64 cart to try this out

[@izayajones6160]

For the boss key room, I don't even jump slash. I just hold forward at the spike wall and eventually get pulled through. Does jump slashing there save time or make you take less damage?

[@SeedyZ]

When I was recording footage, I tried standing in place and it felt like Link was stunned for less time and wouldn't always get through the wall.

[@izayajones6160]

@@SeedyZ Oh interesting. I've only had to do it a couple times since I've only got into OoT randomizers very recently thanks to Archipelago, so I guess I can't say for sure if it's consistent. By the way, your videos on glitches and sequence breaks have helped me a lot (even though the logic should be glitchless lol). Thanks!

[@JohnDoe-yq9rt]

poes always scared me so much as a kid

How did you skip the light medallion?

[@MelioUmbraBelmont]

And how I can get to shadow temple with young link?

[@MistyWatersss]

Quick question, do any of these glitches work on the 3ds version? I am asking since that version uses the same source code so I'm assuming at least some things from the N64 version carried over

[@Kyouko1269]
