Moldorm Bounce

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 Jump and is used to sequence break the Moldorm2 gap without Hookshot or utilizing Hovering.

Execution

  1. Start charging a sword spin and place a bomb near the bottom of the Moldorm2 arena.
  2. Position Link so that when the bomb explodes it will hurt Link and also so that the sword spin will hit Moldorm's head.
  3. As the bomb begins to explode, select buffer the explosion until the last frame before the bomb fully explodes and deals damage to the player.
  4. Once the final frame is buffered release B and close the menu so that the spin will release at the same time the bomb causes damage.

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

General Tips

Pulling off the Moldorm Bounce is tricky since it requires Moldorm RNG to cooperate with the player in order to both be within range without hurting the player and also be in the correct position to bounce in the right direction.

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.
