Hookshot Jumping in Link's Awakening (Game Boy)
1,295In The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening for the Nintendo Game Boy, there's a fairly simple glitch you can perform to get an extra jump in mid-air. It's called the Hookshot Jump (or Hookshot Hopping) and it requires some precise timing, but other than that it's pretty easy to do.
Sometimes when Link jumps into an open pit, you might see him walking in mid-air for just a moment before he falls. During this mid-air walking, use your Hookshot, and Link will be standing in mid-air while shooting his Hookshot out.
Now if you use the Roc's Feather to jump on the frame right before the Hookshot returns completely, you can jump in midair. This trick can be chained up multiple consecutive times to jump over large gaps. Most notably, this trick can be used in the cave that houses the Bird Key, which means you can entirely skip getting the Legendary Rooster.
But he is the best character, so I will never skip him.
Apparently this trick is easier on the DX version since you can buffer the jump input.
