:Many have tried in vain to finish the [[Cave of Ordeals]], a 50 floor dungeon set underneath the Bridge of Eldin in the Gerudo Mesa. This dungeon was grueling in difficulty, offering only a few spots for healing, and topping it off with a battle against 3 Darknuts. Many arrows and bombs have been wasted in this dungeon. But what if there was a way to, so to speak, break the system? Well, that is what I am here to inform you about.

:Transform to Link. Walk to the left (to the right on the Gamecube), and into the water. While swimming, use your clawshot, and while aiming, swim into the wall ahead of you. This may be tricky to pull off, and is the hardest part of the glitch. Once on the other side, just keep swimming until you fall down.

:This is a Popular glitch that only works with the Gamecube version of the game. It is only executable over voids (e.g. high ledges or infinite pits). Yes, now you can skip getting the other 3 monkeys in the Forest Temple.

:In order to work this glitch, you need to have good timing, and that means really, really, good timing. First, aim the boomerang, and target by pressing the R button. Then, throw the boomerang. While the boomerang is in the air, quickly get out your sword, and wait until the boomerang is where you want it to be (or somewhere near). Then, simply press A to cause Link to perform a jump attack, which will make the game glitch and send link flying forward.

:If done properly (and with an insane amount of practice), you can find all sorts of great places to use this. Unfortunately, as stated above, this only works for the Gamecube version. Wii players (including myself) will have to complete the game the normal way.

:In order to pull this one off, you have have collected the sword and shield in the beginning of the first twilight encounter. Then, make your way ''all'' the way to the forest temple (where the piece of the Kakariko Gorge bridge is located), and a shadow beast encounter will commence. '''This is your shot, so don't miss it!''' You need to be on the "south" of the area that you are in (or somewhere near it). Look on the map if you can't figure out where you are going. Start the "field" attack while facing the wall, and let go of the button. If you did it correctly (there must be a shadow beast between you and the wall), you should have landed on the wall. Now, just keep running through the scenery (yes, through the walls) in the direction of the Sacred Grove -to the NE on the Wii, NW on the GCN- and eventually, you should fall onto the ledge that leads to the lost woods. The rest plays out the same, so enjoy!

~Apparently~ Nintendo might have also fixed this one! Don't hesitate to try it out though.

:When going through the Goron Mines, you probably want to shoot yourself (no, not with the bow silly) because of the long and arduous walk on the magnetic ceiling. Well, let's save time, shall we?

:When you put on the iron boots to activate a switch, usually, it activates a magnetic beam. When you are under the beam, make sure to have the boots equipped, and you will be lifted up to the magnetic patch. The instant Link turns upside down, replace the boots with another item (I use the fishing rod, although you can use anything else). Make sure that when you switch out the item, the boots are not set to any other button on the D-Pad. Link will now be able walk normally.

:There is one downside- I get so used to this glitch, when I got the heart piece in the magnetic ceiling room in the Goron Mines, I found I just couldn't go all the way to the exit, so I killed myself so I could redo the glitch. This trick stops working once you step off the magnetic patches, so plan accordingly.

:A little known fact about riding Epona in this game is that when Link is in battle, if he draws his sword while dashing, he will hold it out in a battle stance. He can also do a quick dismount by doing a backflip. '''Remember: This only works if Link is in battle.'''
