A Link to the Past
Door Juke
A door juke is a class of glitches that allow Link to bypass the room transition trigger on subtile doors.
Techniques
There are several techniques that can be used to door juke, but every technique depends on the exact type of door that Link is in. The table below can be referenced for understanding how different juke techniques related to each door type.
| Door type | YBA | Carry | Bomb | Mirror | Statue drag |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| North (normal) | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ | ✔️ |
| North (auto) | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ |
| South (normal) | ✔️ | ❌✔️ | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ |
| South (auto) | ✔️ | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ |
| East (normal) | ✔️ | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ |
| East (auto) | ✔️ | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ |

YBA jukes
YBAs using red or green potions can be used to door juke. Notably, blue potion YBAs cannot be used to door juke because they activate a fake flute on subtile doors.
In addition to juking transitions, YBAs usually have other effects as well.
Mirror door
Main article: Mirror door
Mirror doors, along with their other effects, act as a door juke.
Carry jukes
East and south doors can be juked using a carryable object to snap past the transition. These will place Link 2 pixels beyond the subtile transition trigger. By moving further into the next room, the transition can be activated from the other side.
Toss method
This method for juking works with both somaria blocks and bombs, the only difference being that bombs are temporary and can deal damage to Link, with the bonus that they can be walked over. This method can be used on both east and south normal doors. It does not work on any auto doors.
To perform it:
- Snap to the deepest pixel.
- Pick up the item and press the direction out of the door, which would be for south doors and for east doors.
- Throw the carryable item. Throw the carryable item and move 1 pixel into the door.
- This is best done while the block or bomb is in the air, especially when using dash buffers
- Tapping the d-pad works for getting on the correct pixel, but it's less consistent and not necessarily faster than using dash buffers. If a somaria block has already landed, tapping still works but will take longer, as the block needs to be pushed first.
- Pick up the carryable item and press the direction out of the door.
Bomb method
This method for juking only works on east doors, but it works on both normal and auto doors. It is the only way to juke an auto door without YBAs.
The technique:
- Snap to the deepest pixel with bombs.
- Place a bomb (placing it to the north provides the best visibility).
- Right before the bomb is about to explode, press and then on the next frame. The timing for picking up the bomb is roughly 150 frames after placing. You can also count 3 flashes on the bomb.
Statue drag
There are a couple of ways to "store" a statue pull animation, and use it later where Link doesn't even have access to a statue. This can be done by:
- Mirroring while touching a statue.
- Dragging a statue through a spiral stairwell.
Statue dragging only works on normal doors, but it's also a way to juke supertile doors, north doors, and entrances, making it a potentially powerful technique.
