As suggested on Skype.
We need to make a list of Skips/Tricks this glitch actually does. I'll add what I've personally done.
Add your links to Youtube and Twitch for the skips too if you have them.
1, Going into D7 Boss it reloads the boss spawning 2x Birds and the guy just bounces around. Killing both birds grants you x2 hearts. -
2, Flashes the Fairy away from her fountain in the forest.
Tried and not worked, Early D1 - Doesn't work Removing Ghost after D4 - Doesn't work Slime Key without digging up - Doesn't work Doing this into Angler Fish fight will make him do his attack animation Doing this into Genie Fight will just make his bottle dance and you're unable to do anything to it Dungeon 8 blocks for floor puzzles de-spawn but depending which side of the room you enter you can push them from where you've entered.

if i forgot some, add em
Frog Song Skip (Activates Turtle head awakening)
Removes the need to backtrack to complete sign post maze and watch frog song cutscene. Also means no need to acquire rupees for song either.
143 frames faster for the owl at the forest entrance. 32 frames faster for King Moblin text.
I'll time the other owls/text boxes later as well. Even though no one will likely go for them =).
Is this trick written out anywhere at the moment? I'd like to play around with it, but I haven't been able to find any information about it.
It looks like you just use a bomb at the same time as doing a screen transition and it activates a cutscene on the next screen. Is this correct?
That is correct. When you move to the screen left to right/right to left, you have to face upwards and press up+side into the screen when you use the bomb.
In addition to this, you must not have fired a bomb arrow in the dungeon, arrows disables the event trigger from working in every instance. And I mean, if you are in a dungeon, no arrow in that entire dungeon, if you are in the overworld, no arrow in the overworld since the last dungeon.
Basically:
Frog song skip for instance, no arrows since D6 = works, any arrows since D6 = doesn't work, if that makes sense.
Also, quick tutorial for anyone not knowing how to get it to work:
Love how much research people are putting into this new find. Good work Myke :)
I still think I'm going to just skip frog song for the time being to much risk in Walrus skip for me. Taking the Mushroom is cool but need to route it into the game as we need powder for D2 Lamps.
That name suggestion that haha!
This will allow flynn to get early D8, I think that's what he refers to. Also, this trick doesn't skip checks, only the trigger to start a cutscene, but if something has a check (like the instruments for the egg, or how many enemies are still alive for a kill all room), it won't work unless that check has been met. Most of the time the check is something in the room, so you can't do the trick on screen transition. The only time in the run where we see the check happening regardless of what's on the screen is the egg. Where my theory falls apart is D1, D3, D4, D6 and D7 opening cutscenes.
MyOhMyke, early D8 is getting to D8 after D3, so you get the magic rod and can despawn everything, although now the Walrus Skip is pretty much free -or at least way easier than the old one-.
I found a use for hundo% ! You can initiate the dialogue with the SaveTheGuy-Guy on the mountain with Event trigger skipping going through the cave up there (saves maybe 5 seconds or so?). Should be the only trade in the sequence where this works/saves time.
Bomb event trigger in D8 allows you to move the pushable floor puzzle blocks and also "blows-up" then block when entering from left or right. (There's a slight wait before I destroy the block on the video)
