This includes hopping and backflipping, as well as using items like bombs to get where he needs to be. It&#8217;s not plain sailing, as you can imagine; there are a few points where Link is simply swarmed by enemies, and without the ability to avoid them, PointCrow dies several times over.<\/p>\n<p><em>But!<\/em> He keeps at it.
