Door Clip glitch found

Not sure how this would help in a speed run, but please let me know what you think.

Note: I found this while doing a puzzle the wrong way.

This is for the Divine Beast on Death Mountain and on the door with the window portal that normally you have to light the torch on the other side by shooting an arrow lit with a blue flame. (I thought i had to throw the torch through lol)

When you're at that door you can do the following:

  1. put the dungeon on the side
  2. go up to the door and Link will climb the door portal like its a ledge, but to stay on it, you have to keep walking toward the door.
  3. go into a crawl position and move forward and you clip through the door. You can do the same thing to get back out the door on the other side. (that part is nice)

I think in the end, it might still be easier to shoot a lit arrow through the door, but this is something that can be done too.

I believe this was known previously (though I can't say for certain). Actually got stumped for a bit on the puzzle there and used that in my casual playthrough before figuring it out. Congrats for discovering it on your own though.

Thanks! Yeah I'm not surprised if it was found before. I figured that if I posted it, it could help somewhere. When I found it, I tried doing a google search for this and didn't find anything. I didn't think of lighting the arrow before shooting. previous zelda games have you shoot it through an existing flame to ignite another pyre. And until that time, no other puzzle in the game that I encountered made you pre-lit the arrow tip to do something else.
