Cross bridge as adult


This is trivial with Epona or longshot.

Cross with hover boots

The video demonstrates a megasidehop with hover boots, but you can also cross with a hover boots superslide or HESS. This is generally the fastest method as you can hess/superslide into the loading zone.

Cross with a megaflip

Occasionally, you will get the megaflip but Link will slip off the post. This is indicative of an error somewhere in the set-up procedure.

Bombchu megaflip gate skip

If bombchus are readily available, it is possible to do a megaflip over the gate. It should be noted that one cannot pause buffer "speaking" or "reading". Due to the proximity of the Gerudo guard, trying to press A to roll from this position would result in Link talking to her instead. However, if you pause buffer the A press then Link will roll as intended. One can position for the megaflip as shown in the video, or target the gate, and pause buffer a backflip, and turn around.

Clipping to void


If you fail crossing the Gerudo Bridge, there are a few ways to clip out of bounds and void out to go back all the way up.

Jumpslash clip

It's possible to jumpslash ground clip on the left side of the last waterfall. Is slightly precise, you want an angle slightly to the left of the wall before the waterfall. Additionally, you want to Jumpslash as close to the waterfall as possible without hitting it canceling the jumpslash.
