Quick Turnaround

The Quick Turnaround is a small but very useful technique that can shave frames off of every backwalk you do. It shortens (and in some cases, eliminates) the amount of time you spend waiting for the camera to swing behind Link after holding Z/L, allowing you to start backwalking earlier than normal.

How To

1. Target on frame 1
2. Release target on any frame from 2 to 5 (inclusive)
3. Begin holding a control stick direction on frame 6 (beginning to hold a control stick direction on frame 5 can also work, but only if you released target on frame 6 in step 2)
4. Begin holding target on frame 7 (can release control stick on this frame or anytime afterward)

Notes

You may have noticed that the steps to perform the trick sound very similar to an inverse camera angle. This is no coincidence; a quick turnaround is just an inverted camera angle cut short. To switch between the two, control how long you wait on step 3; if you wait one frame longer, you'll get an inverted camera. If Link isn't turning around at all, you're not waiting long enough.
