Ledge Clipping

Discovered by MrSparkle, Using Bombs Discovered by Klydestorm

Description

By placing an object--such as Medli, Makar, an orb, statue, bombs, a pot, etc.--near the perpendicular intersection of a wall and a ledge, it is then possible to clip through a vast majority of the walls in the game. The best way to do this is to:

How-To

With Bombs

  1. Backwalk and grab the desired ledge
  2. Move as close as you can to the wall you wish to clip through & pull yourself up.
  3. Either pull out a bomb, wait until it's above your head, press B to drop it behind you, then backflip off the ledge and use the deku leaf to grab the ledge...OR...Pull out a bomb, sidehop into the wall & about halfway through the sidehop pull out the leaf and continue holding towards the wall, then move Link back away from the ledge and then grab it. (This is most useful in the Wind Temple, where the walls are slightly beveled--especially useful in getting the hookshot early and skipping the fan cages.)
  4. Move away from the wall the bomb should push you towards it, clipping you through the wall. Note: For some walls you will have to pull yourself up onto an OoB ledge and then shield the bomb to prevent it from knocking you down. This is demonstrated in the video below.

With Objects other than Bombs

  1. Pick up the item and place it near the intersection of the ledge and the wall. (This will obviously not work with enemy orbs as you cannot pick them up. Because of the precision necessary of the orb drop to be able to clip, orbs are hardly ever used.)
  2. Jump off the ledge (backflip, sidehop, etc.)
  3. Use the leaf to re-grab the ledge.
  4. Push the control stick away from the wall in order to clip.

Note: Using items other than bombs can be very advantageous in the fact that they will not detonate if you do not act fast enough. However, bombs are more universal and can be placed more exactly at the wall & edge's intersection point.

Clipping into the wall can also be pause-buffered if you are having trouble either clipping or getting up after clipping. Both pause-buffered & non-pause-buffered methods are demonstrated in the video below.
