Use the red cane. Make the block thing, then pick it up. Throw it somewhere, then right after you throw it, turn around and dash in the opposite direction. Link will run much slower than normal.

Start a new game and then enter the main corridor of the castle. Now go right, and you should see a long hallway with a levitated platform on the right. Do the Navigate weirdly (up-down) glitch on the door, and then you'll warp down a room. Repeat the up-down glitch, and this time you'll warp below in the exploration mode. Now move up. You should be in that same room that you did the glitches in, but the colors will be messed up. Move to the right, and navigate up the levitating platform. You'll be in the next room. Move up until you see a room with some archer soilders. Move to the right, and warp. The game will look like it is locked up, but you will really be in the dark room. Move up for a while, but not so much that you warp up. Move right, and keep on moving up. If you move up far enough, you'll see a weird room with blue on each side. Move up some more, and you will have beaten the game. (When you do this glitch, you'll be a bunny, with a bunch of weird monsters around you. Thats because you have lightworld monsters in the darkworld, so the chip sets are mixed.)

Standing in a pool of water

In the Dark World, go to the Village of Outkasts. Where the Bottle Man was in the Light World is a pool of water. Walk right up to the wall surrounding it and warp back to the Light World. When in the Light World, walk up towards the man (he should be right in front of you) and step into the warp point you made from above. If you do it correctly, when you return to the Dark World, you should be inside the pool of water. You can't do anything, but it's cool.

Can't get back into mirror portal

Here are three different methods:

1. Go to Mystery Mire in the darkworld, and then go to the path that leads to the ether symbol/dungeon entrance. Stand near the bottom of the lilly pad that's a little off the concrete. Teleport. Now, go to the tablet and use the Book of Mudora. The stone should move over your portal. Go into the dungeon and come back out, and you will be stuck. Use the ocarina or go through the dungeon and jump off the ledge to get out.

2. Go one screen south of Kakariko village, to the place where the angry brothers, the library, and the shooting gallery are. Jump down the first ledge, and stand anywhere on the ladder. Now warp, and move up or down, depending on how far you are. And now, no matter how much it looks like it, you can't get to it again if you did the glitch correctly.

3. Go to the place where the first medallion/crystal is, and go near the bottom left hand corner. It's hard to explain, so where you enter the area, go up the dash right until you hit some trees. Now go below and to the right of where the trees are close together. Try to aim to hit the upper ledge on the dot. If done right, move up and you won't be able to get back to the mirror.

Death Mountain Descent glitch

Go to the bridge in the darkworld on Death Mountain. Now at the top pillar, stand directly underneath it. Stand as close to the the pillar and as close to the wall as possible and face right. Teleport to the light world, and try to move one pixel forward. You shouldn't teleport back if you did it correctly. Don't move, or you'll have to do it all over again. Teleport back to the light world, and go directly right until you stop at the pillars. Pull out your sword, charge up, and move slowly right until you hit the portal. If you teleported back, you went too fast, so you must restart the glitch. But, if you made it, move right and you should jump down into the void, but be standing. Now you can explore, or you can go south, and appear in a waterfall, trees, or a ledge. If you appear on a ledge, which happens most often, jump down and you will be back on land, at an area you can't get to unil later. If you land on trees, or a waterfall, press select, save and quit, and try again.
