== Block Clip ==
[[Block clip|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, [[Mirror Block Erase]] is a glitch where using the [[Magic Mirror]] during the moving animation will just erase the block completely.


Typically when inside dungeons or caves pushable blocks act as a solid object that can block the range of items such as Hookshot or Fire Rod. However, when Link pushes a block there is a short period of time where the moving block is no longer considered a solid object and these items can pass though the block while it is in motion.

Press {{B|Y}} while using the [[Hookshot]], [[Fire Rod]], or [[Magic Mirror]] while a pushable block is moving. For the [[Magic Mirror]] and usually the [[Hookshot]], repeatedly pressing {{B|Y}} may be easier. Doing so with the [[Fire Rod]] won't prevent the Block Clip, but will use much more magic than is necessary.


This glitch can be used to save time not having to wait to fully push blocks out of the way to proceed though or to light torches quicker.

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, Mirror Block Erase is a glitch where using the Magic Mirror during the moving animation will just erase the block completely.

Execution

Press Y while using the Hookshot, Fire Rod, or Magic Mirror while a pushable block is moving. For the Magic Mirror and usually the Hookshot, repeatedly pressing Y may be easier. Doing so with the Fire Rod won't prevent the Block Clip, but will use much more magic than is necessary.

Uses and Examples

Hookshot

Using the Hookshot while a block is 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:
