Screen Scrolling

Screen scrolling is a glitch that causes Link to exit one side of an overworld screen and re-enter the same screen from the opposite side. This can be useful for increased travel speed, crossing obstacles (such as rivers), and even going through walls.

How-To

Stand near the edge of the screen. Link should be facing the edge, and be standing exactly 5 pixels from it. Once you are in position, press either direction on the D-pad perpendicular to the direction Link is facing for exactly one frame. For example, if Link is facing left or right, press up or down for a single frame. If done correctly, Link should turn around in place. Once he turns around, walk off the edge of the screen. Link will re-appear on the opposite side.
