	There are three main components of the Moldorm Bounce: laying the bomb with the correct position and timing, putting Moldorm's head in a good position that will allow you to land on the South platform if you get the bounce, and hitting the head with your sword on the frame that the bomb explodes. These can each be accomplished in multiple ways, but you'll always lay the bomb first. To position the head, you can either bait a charge and hit Moldorm as he's moving or slash the tail to keep the head still where you want it. The latter is more consistent, but requires some tighter timing to get the final hit that will send you across the gap. The best way to land this hit is to select buffer and either use a regular slash timed by the bomb's color or to use a charged spin slash on the frame that the bomb explodes. A charged spin is recommended, but a regular slash can work if you run out of time for a spin.

	The Moldorm Bounce is a glitch that utilizes a unique damage boost caused by taking damage and hitting Moldorm's head on the same frame. This damage boost causes the player to recoil a longer distance than a normal [[Bomb Jumps]] and is used to sequence break the Moldorm2 gap without Hookshot or utilizing [[Hover\|Hovering]].

	There are three main components of the Moldorm Bounce: laying the bomb with the correct position and timing, putting Moldorm's head in a good position that will allow you to land on the South platform if you get the bounce, and hitting the head with your sword on the frame that the bomb explodes. These can each be accomplished in multiple ways, but you'll always lay the bomb first. To position the head, you can either bait a charge and hit Moldorm as he's moving or slash the tail to keep the head still where you want it. The latter is more consistent, but requires some tighter timing to get the final hit that will send you across the gap. The best way to land this hit is to select buffer and either use a regular slash timed by the bomb's color or to use a charged spin slash on the frame that the bomb explodes. A charged spin is recommended, but a regular slash can work if you run out of time for a spin.

	If all goes correctly the player will get large boost that can be enough to launch Link across the gap.		If all goes correctly the player will get large boost that can be enough to launch Link across the gap.

	# Take some time to get familiar with Moldorm's movement patterns when practicing this. Most of his turns are RNG-based and unpredictable, but a familiarity with his movement can improve your reactions.		# Take some time to get familiar with [[Moldorm]]'s movement patterns when practicing this.

	# You want to avoid unnecessary buffering, but it's useful for reacting to Moldorm's RNG and dodging him in addition to timing your hit with the bomb explosion.		# You want to avoid unnecessary buffering, but it's useful for reacting to [[Moldorm]]'s RNG and dodging him in addition to timing your hit with the [[bomb]] explosion.
	# If you're trying to bait a charge from the upper half of the arena to the lower half, Moldorm can get stuck in the Southwest corners if you're standing too low. In some cases you'll need to stand above a certain Y position and move after he begins charging.		# If you're trying to bait a charge from the upper half of the arena to the lower half, [[Moldorm]] can get stuck in the Southwest corners if you're standing too low. In some cases you'll need to stand above a certain Y position and move after he begins charging.
	# Moldorm has a series of patterns that consist of a random turning of directions before charging directly at Link for a set of time. This charging can be utilized by baiting Moldorm into a corner before placing the bomb and then hoping for the charge pattern to happen at the correct timing. Additionally the player can damage Moldorm's tail to cause a small delay before Moldorm will charge at the player. This may require a large amount of trial and error in order to pull off.		# [[Moldorm]] has a series of patterns that consist of a random turning of directions before charging directly at Link for a set of time.

	*March 4th 2019: A runner by the name of '''apathyduck''' fell to Moldorm 2 in a unique way [https://clips.twitch.tv/BelovedNaiveWheelDendiFace (Twitch Clip)]. Apathyduck got hit by Moldorm on the exact same frame as their sword clinked it's head and Link was launched far into the pit. After this video was posted in the A Link to the Past Speedrunning Discord several users then immediately attempted to reproduce the launch effect. '''Blank''' and '''mkolser''' successfully reproduce the launching effect and oase28 first demonstrates its use to get across the Moldorm 2 gap ([https://youtu.be/cgJdLowzK9g YouTube reupload of an Discord Video link)]. This trick is then theorized to be useful in a new route of the Restricted Major Glitches Any% speedrun dubbed "Duck Ragu" or "Ambrosia" which would potentially skip the Pegasus Boots and Hookshot.		*March 4th 2019: A runner by the name of '''apathyduck''' fell to [[Moldorm 2]] in a unique way [https://clips.twitch.tv/BelovedNaiveWheelDendiFace (Twitch Clip)].
