1-4 Forest Temple

Stage 3 torch snipe

Light the leftmost torch without having to break the bombable blocks by sniping the torch at a specific position.

Setup for the positioning to fire the arrow from:
1. Hug the wall to the north and slash while facing north. Wait for the slash to complete.
2. Tap left lightly and hold Y to prep the bow. Wait for the bow to finish prepping.
3. Pause, then let go of Y. While keeping down held, unpause. Link should move south slightly then fire the arrow.

For extra leniency:
- For step 2, instead of tapping left lightly, you can slash buffer or dash buffer to turn without moving.
- You can let yourself get hit by an arrow if you need more time for steps 2 and 3; taking damage won't change Link's Z position.




Stage 3 respawn #1

Use respawn manipulation to skip the torch altogether. This saves 1-2 seconds over the torch snipe but is much trickier to perform quickly.



Stage 3 respawn #2

Use respawn manipulation to skip the pushable block and the last set of arrow traps. This saves about 2 seconds.
