Epona Out of Bounds

There are many different possibilities to achieve (Epona Out of Bounds) which is why this is listed as its own section. This will try to go over different ways that all reach the correct height in front of the Faron Cave Tunnel from where other videos start with the out of bounds movement. Conveniently this position is behind the Faron Gate so you can assume all those methods work to get behind the Gate.

Glitchted Way 1: Shadow Crystal (Map Glitch)

Difficulty: ★★★☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ 3/10

Explanation: With (Map Glitch) you can disable all Loading Zones which helps for getting Epona Out of Bounds. Usually this would be done in the Entrance leading to Faron Field but if it is blocked off with the Closed Faron Setting, then you can still achieve the same result in the Entrance leading back to Ordon Spring. Remember that loading transitions load the next parts of a map.

Glitchted Way 2: Fishing Rod (Actor Duping)

Difficulty: ★★★★★☆☆☆☆☆ 5/10

Explanation: With Epona you can (Actor Dupe) the Fishing Rod 19 times. The game becomes laggy because too much memory is used in an area and it is difficult for the game to constantly update all actor positions and angles. After 19 dupes (may differ depending on version) the memory is filled. Trying to enter the next loading transition causes certain actors not to load. In this case specifically important the collision doesn't even load so this achieves (Epona Out of Bounds). Remember that loading Zones still work, though if you don't want the game to stay laggy then you can either enter another Loading Zone or Save Warp.

Glitchted Way 3: Horse Call

Difficulty: ★★★★☆☆☆☆☆☆ 4/10

Explanation: Epona has set spawning locations when you first call her on a map or when she is pretty far away. This trick abuses this system because it spawns Epona in the Tunnel that is currently unloaded and then slowly lures her further so she can be mounted. This location is the lowest so the only known way to gain height is in the Spring and climbing on a specific Root.

Faron Escape

If a setting with Closed Faron is enabled, then a Midna Trigger is blocking off the way to reach the other side to Hyrule Field. The following are ways to get past that trigger without clearing Forest Temple.

Glitchted Way 1: (Epona Out of Bounds)

Difficulty: ★★★☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ 3/10

Explanation: You can get behind the Trigger with (Epona Out of Bounds). Remember that if you are not over ground collision the game might crash so be careful when entering the loading zone or go off Epona beforehand. This method does not work in a Twilight State.

Glitchted Way 2: Sword and Boomerang LJA

Difficulty: ★★★☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ 3/10

Explanation: The Midna Trigger is a Ground Trigger meaning with enough speed you can jump over it in the air. An LJA can do that

Glitchted Way 3: Backslice and Magic Armor Backslice Moon Boots

Difficulty: ★★★☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ 3/10

Explanation: You can also go around the Midna Trigger. With a Backslice Moon Boots you can get on top of the ledge and then roll around it

No Logic Exclusive: Epona and Setting Prologue enabled

Difficulty: ★★☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ 2/10

Explanation: If the Prologue is enabled, then there is a Gate instead of the Midna Trigger blocking you from reaching Hyrule Field. You can clip into this gate with Epona and clip through to the other side after rolling into it. This is No Logic Exclusive because after freeing Talo, you can't necessarily do it again if either the Settings Closed Faron or Faron Twilight are enabled.

Owl Statue Sky Character

The Owl Statue Sky Character always requires a Dominion Rod, however getting there normally requires something to blow up the rock in front of the area the Owl Statue is present in. Remember that if the Closed Faron setting is enabled, the check is not present until you beat Forest Temple.

Glitchted Way 1: (Epona Out of Bounds)

Difficulty: ★★☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ 2/10

Explanation: You can go around the rock with (Epona Out of Bounds). There isn't really much difficulty to it besides the process of getting Epona out of Bounds.

Glitchted Way 2: Shadow Crystal and Onehanded Item (Storage)

Difficulty: ★★☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ 2/10

Explanation: With (Storage) you can Roll up the Ledge besides the Rock and go around it. This is pretty much a faster alternative than using (Epona Out of Bounds)

Glitchted Way 3: Backslice and Magic Armor Backslice Moon Boots

Difficulty: ★★★☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ 3/10

Explanation: With a Backslice Moon Boots you can get on top of the ledge and then go around the Rock.
