Move down and slash these 3 bushes to gain access to the castle entrance. You may need to continue holding '''B''' as you slash the last bush if you managed to alert the [[Green Sword | Move down and slash these 3 bushes to gain access to the castle entrance. You may need to continue holding '''B''' as you slash the last bush if you managed to alert the [[Green Sword Soldier]]. You can just poke him out of your way and continue on up to the main entrance. | ||

This is your first real combat in the run. Hold '''Up''' as you enter the room so that you can slash your sword while facing up as quickly as possible. | |||
[[File:1st keyguard b.png|400px]] | |||
Move along the path shown to position the guard between Link and the statue. Releasing your sword spin here will bounce the guard against the statue causing the spin to hit hit twice. A [[Blue Sword Soldier]] only needs 3 damage to kill and each spin does 2 damage so this move takes him out instantly and has the added bonus of moving the key closer to the door. | |||
If this maneuver is too difficult it is perfectly fine to just walk down and slash 3 times. Be sure to stay slightly '''Left''' of the guard if you do this to avoid clinking his sword. | |||
Collect the key as you move to the locked door. | |||
[[File:b1 hop.png|400px]] | |||
Hold '''Down''' to hop off the ledge and walk down slightly passed the bottom of the rail. When you get here, start holding angle '''Down+Left''' until you clear the corner at the bottom. You may clip through the guard's sword slightly as you move across the room. It is possible to move left even earlier but this is risky and only saves a few frames. | |||
[[File:b1 pit.png|400px]] | |||
Hold angle '''Down+Right''' until you reach this point, then move down and nudge against the right rail. | |||
[[File:b1 pit path.png|400px]] | |||
Take this path to get passed the rest of the guards. You may need to practice the timing for cutting this corner without [[Speedrun:A Link to the Past/Slipping|Slipping]] on the edge. Begin holding '''Up+Left''' to exit the screen after you clear the last corner and get to the bottom section. You can choose to mash '''Up''' here as you hold '''Left''' to save a handful of frames. | |||
[[File:stealth room a.png|400px]] | |||
Hold '''Up+Left''' until Link disappears under this bridge. | |||
[[File:stealth room b.png|400px]] | |||
You want to move up just a bit more while you are under the bridge to ensure that you are slightly above the bottom of this barrier next to the guard. This will prevent him from noticing you as he walks by which means you can safely move above him between the two walls. When you get under the first wall you can just hold '''Up+Left''' again until you are right below the door. | |||
[[File:stealth room c.png|400px]] | |||
When you reach the exit you want to hold a sword charge as you transition to the next screen. This will ensure that you have a fully charged sword when you gain control in the next room. Ideally you want to slash as late as possible because Link moves slower with his sword out. It is possible to slash much closer to the door transition but it loses a lot more time if you are late, so to balance speed and consistency we intentionally go just a little early. | |||
