Glitches in Skyward Sword

These are the glitches which are possible to perform in Skyward Sword. Please read the Glitch Disclaimer Notes before attempting any of the glitches on this page.

High Flip

 * Effect: Perform a higher than normal Backflip
 * Prerequisites: An object you can pick up and put down (Ex;Bomb, Pot, Remlit etc.)
 * How To: Pick up an object with the A Button and hold it. Now place it down or throw it. During Link's crouch, you have a frame or two to trigger a backflip as usual. Spamming the button works, but having the timing down is more effective.
 * Notes: This can be useful for accessing ledges that you cannot grab. This has been proven to work in many places, and has also been used to skip the basement portion of the Ancient Cistern.

Misc. Glitches
Random Glitches that don't belong in any other categories.

Invisible Bilocyte Glitch

 * Effect: (The effect of the glitch.)
 * Prerequisites: Must have the Spiral Charge ability unlocked.
 * How To: This glitch occurs during the battle against Levias and Bilocyte. If Link lands safely on Levias' back facing Bilocyte before attacking the parasitic appendages, Bilocyte will appear invisible.
 * Notes: Link is still able to target the parasite, thus being able to attack and be attacked.

Song of the Hero Game Ending Error

 * Effect: Locks the game and prevents the player from progressing.
 * Prerequisites: Must have defeated Bilocyte.
 * How To: This glitch occurs during the quest to find the Song of the Hero. If you head towards Lanayru Gorge and revive Lanayru first, it will prevent the events in Eldin Volcano and Faron Woods from activating.
 * Notes: Nintendo has released a solution to this glitch, which can be seen here. To fix the glitch, one must download the "Skyward Sword Save File Update" on the Wii Shop Channel for 0 Wii Points. After using the channel to update one's game, things should return to normal.
