Trials Skip

Through various previous sequence breaks in the game, it is possible that by the time you get to Ganon's Trials, you will not have enough items to complete them. Fortunately, there is a way to skip these trials and head straight up the tower to Ganondorf.

Megaflip

Discovered by CloudMax

Requirement: 1 Explosive & Shield

Go to the lower stairs located to the right of the tower. Position yourself so that you're standing next to the ledge on the 5th step counting from the top. Face toward the loading zone and turn around 180 degree. Place a bomb on the 4th step and megaflip. If done correctly you'll hit the loading zone and enter the tower. This method is very precise.

Megaflip + Damage Boost

Discovered by MrGrunz

Requirements: 2 Explosives & Shield

Go to the lower stairs located to the right of the tower. Position yourself so that you're standing next to the ledge on the 6th step counting from the top. Face toward the loading zone and turn around 180 degree. Place a bomb on the 5th step and throw a second bomb towards the loading zone. Now do a megaflip. If done correctly you'll get hit by the second bomb, giving you enough height to reach the loading zone.

Hover Boost

Discovered by Kazooie

Requirements: 1 Explosive & Hover Boots

Go to the lower stairs located to the right of the tower. Position yourself so that you're standing next to the ledge on the 5th step counting from the bottom.

Go to the lower stairs located to the right of the tower. Position yourself so that you're standing next to wall on the 5th step counting from the bottom.

Freezard Clip

Discovered by ZAR

Requirements: Hookshot/Longshot

Go to the water trial and bait a Freezzard to come extremely close to the door. Use the hookshot clip on the Freezzard to get into the main lobby unloaded. From there navigate your way up the stairs and into the tower.

Armos Clip Method

Requirements: None

By arranging the armos statues in the first room in the spirit trial in a specific way, it is possible to clip into the main room out of bounds. Once you have clipped, simply navigate your way into the loading zone.

Backwards Hookshot Jump

Go to the Shadow Trial and do a BDJ off the torch in there to go OoB and then navigate to Ganon's Tower.

Hookshot clip (MQ only)

Discovered by TheWayfaringFox

Requirement: Hookshot/Longshot & Boots

It is possible to Hookshot clip into the main room of the castle out of bounds using the torches in the very first room. From there, navigate to the loading zone.

Entrance Point Glitch

Discovered by Flameringer

Requirements: Bombs

By performing Entrance Point Glitch on the door to any of the trials that you can void out in (all but Light and Spirit), you can walk into the main room unloaded and then navigate to the entrance to Ganon's Tower.
