Clear by Jumping Over the Fences for 2 Laps
| Rules | Jump over the obstacles (fences) placed on the track in order and complete 2 laps |
|---|---|
| Fail Condition | Jumping over the fences out of order |
In the Ocarina of Time obstacle course, you clear it by jumping over the fences in the correct order for 2 laps. If you don't jump them in order, it won't count as a clear, so be careful.
Use the Whip Before Medium or Large Fences
The first fence is short enough to clear at normal speed. However, use the whip before the medium and large fences later on, as you won't have enough speed to clear them otherwise.
Carrots Recover After a Set Time Once Used
Carrots recover after a set amount of time, but using another boost before recovery begins resets the recovery timer. Use carrots consecutively during acceleration sections, then conserve them while waiting for them to recover.
Stay Inside of the Course as Much as Possible
By keeping to the inside of the course, you can reduce the total distance traveled and improve your time. However, cutting in too sharply can cause you to approach the next fence at an angle, which may cause Epona to stop, so be careful.
