Twilight Princess Glitches and Techniques

Glitches

Infinite Bombs ans Arrows

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.

BE WARNED: DO NOT START THE GLITCH WITHOUT 20 RUPEES. YOU DO NOT WANT TO GET TO THE END AND HAVE TO START ALL OVER AGAIN

Step 1

While in wolf form, teleport to Lake Hylia. When there, play the bird game, but immediately after you start, crash into a wall and lose. You will be informed of how lame that was, and if you want try again. Say no.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

When you awaken, Plumm (the bird) will ask if you want to try again. This is because when you fell, the game thought you were playing the flying-fruit minigame. Say you want to play again, and just repeat step one. When you lose, instead of reappearing by Plumm, you will awaken in the middle of Iza's canoe course.

Step 4

Transform back to a wolf at this point, and jump into the river. The screen will go black, and then be filled with random lines!! This is actually the scene where the Zora accompanies Link to the end with the canoe, but since you are using Wolf Link, the game glitches.

Step 5

Tell the Zora you want to play again, and you will be transported back to the starting point. Once the timer starts, simply warp to any location (don't press your luck- I warped to the Gerudo Mesa which worked, but if you want to test out other locations, be aware it might not work).

Step 6

Enjoy the fruits of your labor as you get to exploit this glitch in the Cave of Ordeals, or even through the rest of the game. IMPORTANT- Once you shut off the game, the glitch will have to be executed again.

Boomerang Long Jump

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.
