Skip Using the Command Melody in Chu Room

Discovered by TSA

Place Medli in the center of the ray of light and kill all of the red and green chus. Go back to Medli and walk around her in circles until all of the purple chus have turned to stone.

Fly to Skull Hammer Peg

Discovered by Unreal

While holding Medli, jump off the ledge on the left of the entrance door into the statue room. Fly with Medli until you are just in front of the switch and use the skull hammer to skip the fog.

Aiming Beams of Light Accurately

Normally when you must aim a beam of light at a statue, chest, etc., you must be able to hold the light at the target for a while in order to ensure that the object is melted, or the switch is activated. An easy way to do this is to pull out your sword and stand in the beam of light. While shield go into first person perspective, C-up, and you can then aim the light much easier.

Skip Placing Chu on Switch

Method 1

Discovered by Kazooie

In the room with the two switches and the staircase, pickup Medli and head over up onto the second platform on the right. Angle yourself towards the ledge. Jump off and fly about halfway with Medli, then drop her and glide the rest of the way to the ledge with the deku leaf and grab it. From here, use the Command Melody and fly Medli up to you.

Method 2

Discovered by Venick409

Place Medli on the back switch, then jump onto the front switch to lower the staircase. Immediately after the cutscene, sidehop to the right continuously, until you land on the first step of the raising stairs. From here, use the Command Melody to fly Medli over to you.

Method 3

Discovered by Unreal

Similarly to Method 1, pickup Medli and head over to the same ledge on the right and angle yourself with the top of the staircase ledge. Throw Medli, and if you aligned yourself properly, she should land on top of the staircase. Now angle yourself towards the staircase again and pull out a bomb. As the flashing speed increases, jump off of the ledge and pull out the deku leaf to damage boost to the ledge. Unlike Methods 1 and 2 you don't need to use the Command Melody in this method.

Small Key Timesaver

Discovered by Chimpas, Unreal

Backup towards the ledge, so that your back is facing the sarcophagus. Backflip towards the sarcophagus, and pull out the deku leaf to glide back to the higher platform. This should have disturbed the sarcophagus and revealed the key. Simply use the boomerang to bring the key to you.

Skip Triple Stalfos Fight

Discovered by Klydestorm

Climb on top of the stalfo's sarcophagus on the left, then use the deku leaf to glide over to and grab the mirror shield ledge. Once you've gotten the mirror shield, the same hole will open in the ceiling as would normally happen if you defeated the stalfos, and you can shine light onto the symbol above the door to leave the room.

Break Wall without Command Melody

In the room before the that of the mini-boss, there is a wall on the left of the room (by the latter) that can be broken by shining light on it. However it can be broken without having to call Medli over and reflect light from her harp. Stand in the column of light as close as you can to the ledge while still being in the light. Reflect the light with your shield and while still holding R go into C-up. Now just look down to break the wall.

This trick is especially useful to get back to the statue room quickly and setting up for the following trick.

Skip Shining Light on Statue's Eyes

Discovered by Paraxade

On the upper ledge in the statue room, place Medli near the wall and the ledge. Backflip, and use the deku leaf to ledge clip OoB. Pull yourself back up onto the ledge and now pickup Medli. From here, you can sidehop behind the statue and proceed.

Note: You can also use hovering to get to this ledge when you first enter the room from below. However, hovering to the ledge would only be useful when skipping the skull hammer in the dungeon.

Skip the Mirror Room

Discovered by Klydestorm

Once you enter the mirror room, head over to the right ledge. Using either Medli or a bomb, ledge clip OoB and use leaf pumping to get underneath the ground by the far door. You should emerge back in bounds and be able to proceed to the boss key room.

Boss Key Skip

Method 1 - Ledge Clip and Hover

Discovered by Klydestorm

Call tingle and deminish your health to 1/2 heart. Ledge clip using Medli or a bomb and deku leaf above the bottom door. Fall and properly align yourself. Zombie hover and equip red ting to 'B' mid hover, when you reach the same level as the loading zone press 'B'--on the tingle tuner--and continue hovering until tingle heals you. Deku leaf to the loading zone.

Method 2 - Ledge Clip and Tingle Bomb Boost

Discovered by Paraxade

Call tingle. Ledge clip off of Medli or a bomb and deku leaf over below the loading zone. If you do not have the double magic meter, you may need to use a green ting to refill part of you magic meter. Once you are under the loading zone behind the boss door, use a tingle bomb to boost up and hit the loading zone trigger.
