Hold angle '''Down+Left''' as you exit the tunnel. It's worth noting here that Link's walking speed is slightly slower in tall grass so do your best to avoid it as you move down to slash this first bush. Move down passed the fence and nudge into the right side of the large tree as you move down.

Move passed the small red tiles in the doorway to avoid nudging the corner as you move up. Do your best to align with the center of the carpet to enter the doorway without nudging.

Hold '''Down''' to hop off the ledge and walk down slightly passed the bottom of the rail. 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.

Take this path to get passed the rest of the guards. 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.

Start by holding '''Right''' as you enter the room and begin holding '''B''' as soon as Link moves out of the doorway. Move down below the chest, staying as high up as possible and eventually you will poke the Blue Sword Soldier. Continue holding '''Right''' and '''B''' until Link has fully passed 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.
