Skip Past King Zora

There are several methods that can be used to head to Zora's Fountain without talking to and moving King Zora, which also skips the Ruto Bottle.

Boost Off Chu Explosion

Discovered by Kazooie

By crouching and shielding an explosion, Link gets pushed backwards a bit. By setting this up so that you are at the acute angle in Zora's Domain, you will be pushed through it and end up in Out of Bounds water. From here you can simply swim past King Zora and head to the Fountain.

Mega Sidehop Clip

Discovered by JetlagJad

It's possible to stand on the very corner of the platform in front of King Zora and do a mega-sidehop (similar to a Megaflip) to clip out of bounds and swim past King Zora. You will need to jumpslash immediately after you clip so that you don't just keep going backwards out of bounds.

Hover Over King Zora

Discovered by Acryte

By setting up a Bomb Hover, you can hover over King Zora in about 5 explosives. Note that this method is slower than the others and requires more explosives, so it is rarely used.

Acute Angle Jumpslash as Adult

Using an acute angle clip, you can skip past King Zora as adult using only the Master Sword. Hold right once you clip to stay out of bounds, then hold up-left to jump into the water and swim up behind him.

Clip From the Back

Discovered by Pokey

If you are returning from the fountain King Zora will still be in the way. You can do the above method and hover over him again. However, as an adult there is another option if you have blue fire and he is still frozen. It is possible to clip through him as he is melting. There is a short time window when you can just walk right through King Zora and return to the front.
