Strats
Kakariko Gold Skulltulas (General)
Damaging Gold Skulltulas with Pots
Tech Used
Pots as a source of damage
Logic
✔️ This strat cannot be used to break logic.
🕷️ This strat collects a Gold Skulltula Token which is only present at night time. Unless the Nighttime Gold Skulltulas without Sun's Song trick is enabled, collecting this token before being able to play Sun's Song is out of logic.
Pots are a viable way to kill skulltulas in other places too.
📄 Text Guide
Pots can be picked up and thrown at Gold Skulltulas. If the pot hits, the Skulltula dies and leaves a token.
Four out of five child Gold Skulltulas in Kakariko Village can be collected this way. This requires no items.
Kakariko GS Ladder
The Gold Skulltula on the tower's ladder is ordinarily obtained through the use of a ranged weapon such as slingshot or bombchus, but there are other methods.
Kakariko GS Ladder with Climb Anywhere and Jump Slash
Logic
✔️ This strat cannot be used to break logic.
🕷️ This strat collects a Gold Skulltula Token which is only present at night time. Unless the Nighttime Gold Skulltulas without Sun's Song trick is enabled, collecting this token before being able to play Sun's Song is out of logic.
📄 Text Guide
If the Climb Anywhere setting is enabled, it's possible to climb above the ladder Gold Skulltula and jumplash it with a sword or Deku Sticks
❌ This strat can be used to break logic. There are no tricks or glitches you can enable to force logic to account for this strat.

📄 Text Guide
Climbing a ladder does not deactivate Infinite Sword Glitch, so this can be used to damage the skulltula.

⚔️ This strat can be used to break logic, unless the Windmill HP as Adult with Nothing trick is enabled. Only when this trick is enabled may the player be expected to achieve these ends with these items.
[There are also (non-logical) methods of getting this HP with child using explosives. These should be detailed here. • Edit Article]
Entering the Back of Impa's House
Entering the Back of Impa's House with Kaepora Gaebora
Logic
✔️ This strat cannot be used to break logic.
📄 Text Guide
On Death Mountain Trail, near Death Mountain Crater as Child Link, speak to the owl. Afterwards, stand in the owl's shadow to be transported on top of Impa's House in Kakariko.
Entrance Randomiser settings can cause this Owl to transport Link to a different location, making this method unreliable.
Entering the Back of Impa's House with a Cucco
Logic
✔️ This strat cannot be used to break logic.
Does not break logic as long as there is logical access to daytime (such as via access to a time-passing area like Hyrule Field). Logic understands that you are unable to do this if you lack access to the Soul of Cuccos in Soul Shuffle.
Entering the Back of Impa's House with Adult Link and no items.
Logic
⚔️ This strat can be used to break logic, unless the Pass through Visible One-Way Collisions trick is enabled. Only when this trick is enabled may the player be expected to achieve these ends with these items.
⚔️ This strat can be used to break logic, unless the Man on Roof with Nothing trick is enabled. Only when this trick is enabled may the player be expected to achieve these ends with these items.
For the 'As Adult from Tower' version, the pause is needed to prevent talking to the NPC. To do this, whilst unpausing, pressing the sidehop inputs (left+A). (This occasionally has relevance for other strats too.)
Entering the Fenced-Off Area as Adult
Entering the Fenced-Off Area as Adult
Logic
✔️ This strat cannot be used to break logic.
The roof jump version can be used to get the 'man on roof' check out of logic (detailed elsewhere on this page.)
📄 Text Guide
During the daytime, you can also walk through the Medicine Shop.
⚔️ This strat can be used to break logic, unless the Enter Adult Shooting Gallery as Child with Time Travel trick is enabled. Only when this trick is enabled may the player be expected to achieve these ends with these items.
📄 Text Guide
The loading zone for Adult Link's Shooting Gallery is present for both ages. For Child Link, though, the loading zone is covered up by a pile of bricks.
Using Age Change upon Song of Time, it's possible to stand inside the construction area as Child Link and swap to Adult Link. This places Adult Link 'inside' the house. Adult Link can then move near the loading zone and swap to Child Link. Child Link will now be inside the pile of bricks and able to stand on top of the loading zone.
This is useful in niche scenarios in Entrance Randomiser seeds where we're able to swap ages before we enter Adult Shooting Gallery's loading zone but not after. This can occur if:
Works with Kokiri Sword and Deku Sticks. [What about other swords, such as the MM swords and ageless swords? • Edit Article]
Target the wall by the door
Backflip
ESS turn left 1 frame
Sidehop right
While walking forwards and targetted, do an 'untargeted backflip'. To do this, release target on the same frame as pressing A to backflip. This can be pause buffered.
Re-target, walk towards the wall and jumpslash.
You may need to hold down-left after the jumpslash to avoid voiding.
The backflip and sidehop are unnecessary. The important part of the setup is getting the right angle via targetting the wall, the ESS turn and the untargeted backflip.
A setup is not needed to perform this strat; it is possible to find a good angle with trial and error.
This strat is useful in Interior ER seeds because this entrance is Adult-Only.
Kakariko Bazaar Clip as Adult with Triple Slash Clip
Shield - to prevent being pushed back in bounds after the clip
After the triple slash clip, continue holding target, then shield. Then release target.
From the Youtube comments of the commentated video:
so if you void, you're 1 frame late i believe!
If you hit it late by 1 frame, you slide way further left and it puts you off the ground :)
This strat is useful at nighttime when the door is locked.
Kakariko Medicine Shop Clip
There are two shops in Kakariko that the game calls 'Potion Shop'. The one that's a transferee from Hyrule Market is also named 'Medicine Shop' by in-game text.
❌ This strat can be used to break logic. There are no tricks or glitches you can enable to force logic to account for this strat.
[Potentially only breaks logic in situations where it's otherwise impossible to get night time behind the loading zones in ER seeds. Needs confirmation. • Edit Article]
⚔️ This strat can be used to break logic, unless the Enter Bottom of the Well as Adult with Time Travel trick is enabled. Only when this trick is enabled may the player be expected to achieve these ends with these items.
📄 Text Guide
This is a similar strat to the one detailed above, except when we cross the loading zone, we're going to be Adult Link instead.
This is useful in niche scenarios in Entrance Randomiser seeds where we're able to swap ages before we enter Bottom of the Well's loading zone but not after. This can occur if:
For the sake of clarity: this trick relates to entering Bottom of the Well's loading zone in Kakariko Village. It doesn't have anything to do with the dungeon itself.
To perform this strat:
(Optional) As Adult Link, get close to the stone wall at the bottom of Kakariko's well. Swap to Child Link.
As Child Link, position yourself close to the loading zone such that, when you swap ages, Adult Link will be behind the stone wall.
Swap ages back to Adult Link
Enter the Bottom of the Well's loading zone.
[There are a variety of glitchy methods to enter Bottom of the Well, from a Navi Text Dive; clipping out of bounds near the Windmill. Then there's clipping through the stone wall that blocks adult Link. They should all be explained here too. • Edit Article]
