Rail Clipping

Rail Clipping is an exploit that allows the player to bypass through a half-tile objects in either direction. Since Rails have a smaller hitbox than other solid tiles (8pixels instead of 16 pixels) the usual collision check is not performed properly allowing allowing Link to pass through.

Execution

Passing though Rails can be done by entering the half-tile rail in the exact center of its larger full-tile. Entering this space typically can be done in several different ways:

  • Being boosted by a bomb
  • Using Boots to bonk off a wall
  • Grabbing onto an object with the Hookshot
  • Releasing a spin while gaining speed on ice.
  • Hovering into the center

Uses and Examples

Item Uses Examples
