New Time Savers

4 new little timesavers for the any% speed run of OoT. I estimated the time saved by comparing to groobotube's demonstration run.

First timesaver is using the poe to knock you off of course so you can enter dampe's grave slightly early. To do this just slightly go towards the poe after exiting the Hylian Shield grave. It will then charge at you and allowing you to move while you would normally still be moving the grave.

Second timesaver is in the fishing pond while stealing the rod. All I do is align myself to backwalk, then backflip into the water. Backflipping into water allows you to move forward quicker than you could when normally entering it. I then just exit, with a roll added.

Third timesaver is an alternate saving spot for segment 6. I would normally have the fishing rod on B but whatever. The reason this is faster is because in the old area for saving, you are in the dark clouded area. In that area time doesn't pass as quickly. In the new area time passes normally, so that's less waiting time to enter Kakariko in segment 7.

Fourth timesaver is just a small quick ledge grab. ThomazSDA pointed this out on SDA. This is just the trick being video-tized. To do this press A exactly when you hit a ledge you want to climb. Normally there will be a half-second stall before Link climbs the wall. When using this the half-second stall is skipped ;)

quick ledge gab is no new trick

the saving point is definately slower

fishing and graveyard are nice =)

The quick ledge grab wasn't in any speed run I've seen. So I uploaded it in case a speed runner wasn't aware

Did you read the description for why the saving point is faster? It's more than just distance.

and thanks :)

I hate the non-time passing bit...

I thought people knew #1

The fastest way to get the stick on B without diversion is on the ladder in Hyrule Field.

yeah, I understand the saving point now

the quick ledge grab is used in many TASes, btw ;)
