Early Boss Fights

Back in Time and Back in Time Equipped are two ways to reach the King Bulblin 1 Fight, one of the ways to set EBF. A full description can be found here.

Wii Precautions

Demonstration Video

On the Wii version, pressing A or B on the title screen with control of Link will usually crash the game. This poses an issue for performing BiTE, since while you can pull the title screen logo with A or B prior to having control of Link without crashing, the simultaneous A+B press still requires avoiding the crash. Here is a setup to avoid the crash:

After savewarping in Faron:

1. Roll to Ordon
2. Reset (Note that Ordon must load)
3. Load the same file and roll to Ordon again
4. Void
5. Perform BiT
   • If you do sidehop BiT with the pause menu, and you end up pausing on the second earliest frame of the sidehop, you must time the reset differently than normal to avoid the crash: Close the pause menu, and then press the HOME Menu button right as the game fades in. After pulling the menu, either reset the game using the menu or with the console reset button to proceed
6. Press A or B to pull up the title screen logo before gaining control of Link
7. Jump into the void and press A+B once Link has been in the air for at least 1 second (image showing when to press A+B) to pull up the file select. Pressing A or B earlier will most likely crash. If you go too late, then the file select screen won't come up at all. The window of working frames is lenient
8. Load the correct file and proceed normally

Important notes:

• BiTE should not crash under these circumstances on a Wii disc on a Wii console
• On WiiU running in Wii mode, the void is not necessary
• These specific steps were tested on a NTSC-U 1.0 disc. Other versions may or may not require slightly different precautions (more testing needs to be done)
• Emulator does not have the same conditions to crash, so it's not recommended to practice BiTE on GZ/Dolphin etc. if you do runs on console
• The best way to practice BiTE is to get a post-faron-twilight save and boot a vanilla disc, and then proceed with the sequence of precautions, including the savewarp at the start

re-BiTE

If you have recently performed a successful BiTE, fought KB1, and saved, then it's possible to perform BiTE again without having to reset (step 2 above). This is called re-BiTE

Old precautions:

By exiting the game entirely (return to Wii Menu) and reentering the game, then advancing through the title screen and menus to reenter the file quickly afterward, this crash is far less likely to occur (though it's still possible). Note that for this precaution to work you must get BiT first try, else you will have seen the title screen more than once which is what doing this precaution avoids.

New File with Bomb Arrows

Discovered by Razor7581

After performing Infinite Bomb Arrows, perform Back in Time. When you resume on the Bridge of Eldin, jump off to restore normal HUD, then savewarp. As with a normal BiT Save, you will respawn at the Faron Spring, but you will have a full bomb bag (30 bombs, 15 water bombs, or 10 bomblings), the bow, and a full quiver (30 arrows).

Notes:

• You must have three bomb bags in your inventory to transfer over bombs to the new BiT game file.
• The bomb bag that gets transferred is not yet fully understood. For best results, have all three bags filled with the type of bomb you wish to transfer.
• As you have bombs, arrows, and bombs arrows "early", it is also possible (with clever utilization of tricks), to get the Clawshot before entering the Forest Temple.

This video demonstrates the entire process after having unlocked Iza 2, with some loads/warps sped up for convenience.

New File with Bombs and Null Item

Discovered by Dragonbane0

It's also possible to bring back only Bombs by storing a null item in place of the Bow. After beating Lakebed and Midna's Desperate Hour, warp to Zora's Domain and descend to Upper Zora's River. Talk to Iza and Fight the Messengers as Wolf. After completing the fight, Iza's dialogue will be glitched, but she will still bring Link inside her hut.

This stores the bow and gives Link a lent bomb bag. Warping to Upper Zora's River will repeat the glitched dialogue and she will again bring Link inside her hut. This second time, the bow gets stored and also the real bow is replaced with a null item, and the lent bag becomes emptied. Warping UZR again repeats the process a third time; the null item gets stored and the lent bag is filled with 30 bombs and stored as well.

Performing Back in Time at this point will give Link the stored items on a Back in Time file; Link will have a permanent bomb bag with 30 bombs and a black rupee (null item, unequippable).

A video of part of this process can be seen below.
