Link can perform an Autojump when he runs off the edge of a platform. This can be done in order for him to leap over a gap to another surface, but the distance he can jump is limited.

If a ledge is low enough for him to interact with it, Link will also Autojump when moving against an elevated platform. He will grab onto its edge and climb onto its surface, or if the elevation is low enough, he will simply hop onto the platform.<ref>{{Cite | If a ledge is low enough for him to interact with it, Link will also Autojump when moving against an elevated platform.

Because the Autojump only caters to the farthest possible distance Link can comfortably jump under normal conditions, distances further than what can be reached with the Autojump must be reached using a certain item, such as a [[Hookshot]], that extends Link's jump distance. Moving a block or hitting a switch to form another platform are techniques that often bridge the gap between a distance way out of Link's Autojump range. | Because the Autojump only caters to the farthest possible distance Link can comfortably jump under normal conditions, distances further than what can be reached with the Autojump must be reached using a certain item, such as a [[Hookshot]], that extends Link's jump distance.
