Yeah, the fake paths are all just static textures pasted over a loading zone, so it's fairly obvious which is the correct path. I remember figuring that out as a stupid middle schooler back when the game first came out, so I'm actually kind of surprised you guys didn't notice it while you were playing.

I can't remember if it's OoT or MM (or both), but bomb jumps are totally a thing in at least one N64 Zelda. Just lay a bomb in between yourself and a ledge and let the explosion push you off. You'll do the usual jump animation for moving off a ledge, but your speed will be the speed at which you move from your damage/recoil animation from the bomb blast. You can get a lot of distance and get some places you shouldn't using that trick, and it's nowhere near as precise or finicky as supersliding or bomb hovering.

If Breath of the Wild is to be believed, apparently Zoras live significantly longer than Hylians, so Ruto might actually be significantly older than Link, for added creepiness factor! I wonder if this gets carried over to the Rito, their descendants.
