Cutscene Skips

Medallion/Stone Cutscene Skips

This glitch allows you to skip the Spiritual Stone/Medallion cutscenes of every dungeon with a blue warp except Jabu-Jabu's Belly. See the Wrong Warps Page for more info.

How-To

There are several methods to do this trick:

• Farore's Wind Medallion Stone Cutscene Skip
• Timer Medallion/Stone Cutscene Skip
• Death Medallion/Stone Cutscene Skip
• Door Medallion/Stone Cutscene Skip

Farore's Wind Medallion/Stone Cutscene Skip

Discovered by Acryte

The first Method for this trick requires that you simply have Farore's Wind on B (Farore's Wind anywhere isn't required). Cast it anywhere, then enter a boss's room. Backwalk into the blue warp, but press B JUST as you hit the warp. The Farore's Wind dialogue should pop up as the blue warp begins to lift Link off the ground. Wait until the screen finally starts to go white, and then press B to warp. If you warp too early then you will just end up warping without the medallion, but if you press it too late, you'll see the cutscene instead of warping.

Timer Medallion/Stone Cutscene Skip

Discovered by Acryte

The second method uses a countdown timer (like the Mushroom timer) to cancel the cutscene, and is the harder of the two. Both are extensions of the "Blue Warp Glitch" and uses Ocarina Items to wait for the change so that the Timer starts actively counting down again (It doesn't if you don't wait for the camera change using Ocarina Items). This means you must space it perfectly so that a backflip to ocarina pull will cause you to land at the VERY EDGE of the blue warp. If you are too close you will walk into it instead. It's a LOT easier if you wait to backflip, so that when you pull the ocarina there is only about 3-4 seconds left on the timer. At this point RUN AND GRAB THE HEARTPIECE when the timer gets to 00:01. This isn't necessary (as you could time the ocarina pull perfectly and not need to do this) but it a HELL of a lot harder without. Press B to skip the text and wait though, and when the screen starts turning white, then just get rid of the text box.

Death Medallion/Stone Cutscene Skip

Discovered by ChristianF23

This method is very similar to the others, but this time you cancel the cutscene by dying on the a very precise frame, where when you continue playing, the game adds continues to add up the warp timer and once it reaches a certain point, it gives you the medallion/stone. Again do the Ocarina Items on the edge of the blue warp, but in this case, do it with half of a heart or less so a bomb will kill you. Then once you get the camera back, pull out a bomb and run away from the blue warp. It is important in this case to be far away from the blue warp. The bomb will kill you and you may be hovering/spinning around. At this point it is important to hit the ground and die, you usually have some control over this by hitting Z. If done correctly, Link will die before the cutscene starts, and when you continue the game you will start at the beginning of the temple/dungeon with the medallion/stone in your inventory. Note that Link spins around sometimes after his death, making it very hard to time correctly. Also note that if this is done in the Deku Tree, Dodongo's Cavern, or the Fire Temple, it will create a very specific case of Wrong Warp by Death

Door Medallion/Stone Cutscene Skip

This method involves going through the boss door loading zone as the warp timer reaches a certain point. This can be done in The Great Deku Tree, Dodongo's Cavern, and Fire Temple. This method of cutscene skipping will cause a Wrong Warp by Boss Door
