When you get here, start holding angle '''Down+Left''' until you clear the corner at the bottom. You may clip through the guard's sword slightly as you move across the room. It is possible to move left even earlier but this is risky and only saves a few frames. | ||

You may need to practice the timing for cutting this corner without [[Speedrun:A Link to the Past/Slipping|Slipping]] on the edge. Begin holding '''Up+Left''' to exit the screen after you clear the last corner and get to the bottom section. You can choose to mash '''Up''' here as you hold '''Left''' to save a handful of frames. | ||

This room contains our first real speedrun trick. I've included this because it is what most players prefer to do, but keep in mind that it only saves about 5-10 frames (about .1 seconds) so it's worth it to do the easier movement which I demonstrate later if you struggle with this. | This room contains our first real speedrun trick.

Start by holding '''Right''' as you enter the room and begin holding '''B''' as soon as Link moves out of the doorway.

Continue holding '''Right''' and '''B''' until Link has fully cleared the second statue as shown in the third image then release the B button to spin and kill the guard. | ||
Normally when you poke an enemy with the sword, Link will drop the sword after a short amount of time. We get around this by releasing the spin quickly enough and we are able to do the required 3 damage in one quick move. | Normally when you poke an enemy with the sword, Link will drop the sword after a short amount of time.

Move up to the right side of the chest and initiate the conversation with [[Zelda]]. Here you will hear [[Zelda's Lullaby]] for the first time in the series. If you are playing on [[Speedrun:A Link to the Past/JP 1.0|JP 1.0]] you will need to clear 6 text boxes by mashing with all four face buttons. On the final text box shown here, begin mashing '''A''' to clear the text and open the [[Lamp]] chest. | Move up to the right side of the chest and initiate the conversation with [[Zelda]].

When the '''Lamp''' appears, begin holding '''Down+Right''' as you mash '''L+R''' to clear the final text box. After collecting Zelda and the lamp, exit the room the way you came in. | When the '''Lamp''' appears, begin holding '''Down+Right''' as you mash '''L+R''' to clear the final text box.

You can choose to mash '''Up''' as you are moving left along the jail cells to save several frames. | |||

[[File:green guard spin d.png|400px]] | |||
Start making your way back to the castle entrance with Zelda. | |||
[[File:stealth room d.png|400px]] | |||
[[File:pit room return.png|400px]] | |||
Again this green guard won't bother you if you follow this path. Hold '''Up+Left''' when you get to the stairs and continue holding through the next room. | |||
[[File:drop down.png|400px]] | |||
Drop down from the ledge and move diagonally to the stairs. You can ignore this guard as well. | |||
[[File:1st keyguard c.png|400px]] | |||
[[File:1st keyguard c2.png|400px]] | |||
Move '''Up''' along the left side of the chest. You may have to adjust your path as shown in the second image if this guard notices you. | |||
[[File:ascent b.png|400px]] | |||
[[File:west wing b2.png|400px]] | |||
You can optionally grab these heart pots if you are low on health. Stick to the right side wall as you move down and boomerang anyone that gets in your way. | |||
[[File:west wing b1.png|400px]] | |||
Hold '''Down+Right''' until you are aligned with the doorway and exit to the right. | |||
[[File:throne room b.png|400px]] | |||
[[File:throne room b2.png|400px]] | |||
Hold '''Up+Right''' and mash '''L+R''' to cancel the single text box. Walk in between the two large pots and use the stairs to exit '''North''' to the throne room. | |||
[[File:throne c.png|400px]] | |||
[[File:throne d.png|400px]] | |||
[[File:throne e.png|400px]] | |||
Walk up to activate these two text boxes. You can mash the face buttons for the first and then hold '''Left''' and mash '''L+R''' for the second. Push the shelf to the '''Right''' until there is an opening just large enough for Link to get through. Most people like to use the back of Link's hat as a [[Visual Cue]] for when he can fit. | |||

The next several room will be dimly lit as you move through them but we can get by without lighting any torches. Hold '''Up+Right''' until you get just past the pot in the upper right part of the room. You may have to slash or boomerang the rat if it gets in your way. You can choose to grab the heart pot if you need it. | |||
[[File:escape 24.png|400px]] | |||
[[File:escape 18.png|400px]] | |||
The '''Snake Avoidance Room''' has 3 "lanes" that the [[Rope|Ropes]] will travel through. Take the center lane and boomerang anything in your path. | |||
[[File:escape 25.png|400px]] | |||
[[File:escape 26.png|400px]] | |||
Move up along the right side of the path and boomerang this rope. Grab the key chest and make your way to the '''North''' exit. You make have to boomerang more enemies on your way through. | |||
[[File:escape 27.png|400px]] | |||
[[File:escape 28.png|400px]] | |||
[[File:escape 29.png|400px]] | |||
A single text box will appear as you enter this room. Hold '''Left''' and mash '''L+R''' to clear it. Follow this path through the room to avoid walking through water as much as possible. Link moves much slower while in shallow water or tall grass. | |||
[[File:escape 30.png|400px]] | |||
[[File:escape 31.png|400px]] | |||
Enter the water at the corner again to avoid slower movement and move up until you are just below this bat. When you get to this point in the room you want to walk under where it is sitting. This will cause it to move to the right, out of your path so you can easily get to the door. | |||
[[File:escape 20.png|400px]] | |||
[[File:escape 32.png|400px]] | |||
[[File:escape 34.png|400px]] | |||
In this room you need to find the key rat. He will spawn in the upper left part of the room and he can sometimes move down and to the right. It will be the first rat you see if you move left out of the door. Collect this key and exit through the door on the right side. Staying close to the left wall as you move up will manipulate the bat to move out of your way. | |||
[[File:escape 35.png|400px]] | |||
You may need to slash a couple of these rats as you move up into the room. Stay close to the left wall to make the bats move out of your way. | |||
[[File:escape 36.png|400px]] | |||
[[File:escape 37.png|400px]] | |||
Follow this path to get to the next room. Optionally, you can turn left and slash as you enter the room to deal with the possibility of bad rat rng. You may also need to deal with another rat or two at the bottom as you exit. | |||
[[File:escape 38.png|400px]] | |||
[[File:escape 39.png|400px]] | |||
An extra text box will appear if you move down through this room. Follow the path shown to avoid it and slash any rats in your path as you exit to the [[Sanctuary_(A_Link_to_the_Past)|Sanctuary]]. | |||
