Block Clip and Mirror Block Erase

Block Clipping is a glitch when pushable blocks that usually act as a solid object will allow projectiles to pass through them during the moving animation. Additionally using the Mirror during the moving animation will just erase the block completely.

Execution

Repeatedly press Y while using the Hookshot, Fire Rod, or Mirror while a pushable block is moving.

Uses and Examples

Hookshot

Using the Hookshot while a block in moving can let Link travel though the block by grappling to something on the other side. Some examples of locations where this can be useful include:

  • Accessing the Ice Palace Big Chest without dropping down.
  • Traveling through Superbunny Cave more quickly
  • Getting the item inside the Dam and draining the swamp in a single trip.
  • Skipping a block push after Moldorm2
  • Small time saves in push blocks in Left Side Swamp and GT Firesnake Room

Using the Fire Rod while the block is useful for lighting the torches on the way to the vanilla Big Key in Misery Mire.
