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.
 
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 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

Use either 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

  • Removing the blocks in Mire Shed, Blind's hut, and Checkerboard Cave
  • Paradox Cave Shortcut
  • Superbunny Cave shortcut
