Yo, I loved seeing good ol' Ship of Harkinian in this video! It's definitely the best way to play Ocarina of Time, in my opinion. Want classic vanilla OoT with N64 aesthetics? A version with tons of QoL changes? A healthy mix of the two? A version that assists with glitches and allows for modding? It has *everything*. Great content, as usual! I love hearing the "why" behind why my favorite games bug out.

[@liquidypoo]

[@BastardWolf28]

The only experience I've had with sequence breaking in OoT was waaay back in the day using the "crooked cartridge" trick. Which essentially consist of slightly pulling the cartridge on one side until the game gets all scrambled and you can for example skip the Kokiri blocking your way out of the forest. The downside was that I did this too many times a day messed up my cartridge. All my saves got delated or would get deleted if I turn off the console. But even if the file survived, if you restarted your game, your name would appear in Japanese characters, and if someone in the game did your name, the game would freeze and even if you restarted the game it would happen again, and you'll have to delete your file and star over again.

[@tammielisa]

Amazing playthrough! Well done 👏👏👏

[@williamlafond1319]

For the carpenter, you can get the eyedrops from frozen king zora if you have the weird cucco (or any trade sequence item for adult). It's technically closer to a completed sword and the trick requires 0 skill. Maybe it's just on N64. You need walk up the stairs fast and pull out the cucco just as king zora loads, then you go back down to unload, go back up he's unfrozen, and if you talk to him while holding up your shield, he gives you the eyedrops, instead of giving you the tunic.

[@artcrime2999]

[@justjoeblow420]

It's amazing how close to some of the routes for speed runs this is. Good video and I hadn't realized the OOT ports had came along so far as I hadn't dug into them much yet. I guess I know what I'm setting up on my Steam Deck later tonight at some point.

Yesss I have been waiting for this one for as long as you made the end video teaser of it years ago!

[@PhobiaSoft]

I was waiting for the PC port to get finished! Now I wait for the port of Majora...

[@PhobiaSoft]

No, its a framerate issue, not a texture quality issue. I need a version of the game that allows for decoupling the framerate of the visuals from the framerate of logic (which needs to stay at 20fps for glitches to behave the same) Ship of Harkinian handles it this way and its brilliant

[@VinsCool]

@@PhobiaSoft The fact that the PC port is perfectly faithful to the original game's logic is really awesome honestly! Even the 3ds port didn't go this far considering they did keep a lot of the original glitches on purpose from what I've heard.

[@jacksonpercy8044]

There's another method to skip Ganon's barrier that doesn't need bombs. Enter the spirit trial, push the nearest armos statue to the wall near the door, then pull it a couple times towards the door. From there simply jump slash between the two and you'll be in the main room, and it works as child too. The textures don't load though so you have to use the spirit trial and the barrier beams to navigate into the tower loading zone. There's a setup to get in there consistently but even without that it's fairly easy.

[@kingofredleopards]

That's what I thought he was going to do, never knew about the loading zone in the wall

[@fridgewheatfield]

How the hell does blocking ganons swing prevent the master sword from being lost??? Why would they code it that way 😂

[@crossfaderage]

There are actually a precise series of jumps you can do to get through those rooms in Dodongo's Cavern with the eye switches without slingshot. Involves lots of ledge grabs so you can be as far away from the fire as possible.

[@PhobiaSoft]

You're right, check the pinned comment

[@jtnoble321]

16:28 there’s a very precise jump you can make there, it’s definitely possible to cross the fire gaps without slingshot or explosives. It’s very hard, and really sucks to do with deku shield since it’s easy to lose here. Also, in DC I’m surprised you didn’t mention ground jump. Super easy way to skip the first half of DC.

[@PhobiaSoft]

Didn't wanna waste a Chu on it

[@jfm5864]

Yeah it's been done in glitchless runs that skip slingshot for years. There's some decent setups for it if you don't want to eyeball it like top glitchless runners do.

[@MLmaster135]

one of the interesting glitches in ocarina of time, specifically the 3ds version, is Dark Link. he's actually the most infamous yet perfect example of a buggy mess in the 3ds version, cuz if you compare the 64 version's fight to the 3ds there's a few differences when fighting with only the master sword. 64's Dark Link's effectively literally perfect frame-wise. he actually counters jump attacks and thrusts like he's supposed to. OOT 64's Dark Link also has a glitch known as a "Dark Link Spin attack" Glitch, which's very obscure. normally Dark Link will never do a Spin attack and is not supposed to, but from what I recall, I think it was charged spin+spamming spin attack after, and he'll eventually do it. this may need deku nut and/or arrows. as for 3ds Dark Link, it was stated and is actually true that 3ds Dark Link suffers from the frames of the 3ds, which's why mashing's easier, but there's actually some more glaring issues with him, which you can see using the master sword only. 1. he's very buggy, you'll first see it when you spam thrust attacks, when he's full color he will never counter the thrust attack if multiple thrusts happen in a short time frame and he dodges a 2nd one. multi-thrusts can go through his defense easily right after he dodges the first 2. the most glaring example of buggy and glitchy is 3ds Dark Link's Jump Attack counter. in the 3ds version Dark Link cannot and will never counter Link's Jump attack, he instead Jumps Sideways and Upwards, no counter at all. the only way he will ever counter Link's jump attack in this glitchy/buggy state is if you force him into a wall with Jump attacks. very specifically, both Link+Dark Link's models must overlap as you spam Jump attacks against the wall, only then does 3ds Dark Link do a counter Jump attack.

[@YOUR_NARRATOR975]

I love doing the bomb jumping one. So simple, but it makes things so much easier sometimes

[@Shadowzero4]

Awesome video Phobia! Question though, what did you use to get those neat, updated graphics? Can it be done with the N64 version or does it require Ship of Harkinan?

[@PhobiaSoft]

The textures are from a pack called OOT Reloaded. There's a version for Ship and a version for emulators too!

[@jaccck.son.b6623]

The bottom of the well unloaded actor glitch can actually be done after you have unlocked the door, you don't have to worry if you unlock the door and attempt again.

[@PhobiaSoft]

Yes, but the window is much tighter that way, I don't think that's a good way to teach the trick for newcomers. You are correct though!

[@Dolando_Brando]

[@PhobiaSoft]

That run also sounds really cool!

[@WarmMattyJ1]

You can actually pass the fire room in dodongos cavern without the slingshot, just takes precise ledge grabs through the room. But bombchu flip backwards is way cooler

Arguably the easiest (useful and player activated) glitch in gaming. Edit I forgot the sonic boom knuckles infinite jump but c'mon the "release then patch" business model doesn't count.

[@The_One_Cosmos]

Majora's Mask and OoT overlap in my memory. I remember things from each one and they cross over in my mind while playing either game

[@jacksonpercy8044]

There's a fair bit of overlap when it comes to glitches, but also a lot of differences. One of the most notable is that bomb hovering is significantly easier in MM.

I play OOT almost daily and i know all of these glitches, randomizers are the best thing to happen to OOT (besides PC Port) and it keeps me playing my favourite game forever.

[@reprogremTTV]

16:12 You can skip past both of the fire pillar rooms with *very* precise jumps. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mpSzhJqsa518hNk That said for the sake of the video's pacing, teaching the mega flip just to yoink the bomb bag is worth it and ultimately you save more time/do a better self-taught speedrun by doing so. Very fun video, always appreciate Ocarina of Time for its glitches that let you beat the game basically however you want.

Not sure how to proceed Edit - nvm just took some practice, turns out I was only partially clipping. I got out early tysm let's go!!!

[@koolgaemrcid]

the actors glitch works for me even if the door is unlocked. i dont think it's necessary to save before that cause when i mess up i just go back through the crawlspace

[@PhobiaSoft]

You can technically still do it with an unlocked door, the timing is just much tighter

[@ScAr_wlvrne]

I find it odd that you didn’t mention Power Crouch Stab. Speeds up Ganondorf fight and is applicable for ISG. Also, oddly enough, you can actually damage Ganon with nuts, though using the Master Sword for the whole fight is faster because it’ll do two damage with regular swings or four damage with jump attack/PCS (which is normal for it, but all other attacks do only one damage to Ganon)

[@PhobiaSoft]

Power Crouch Stab being a glitch or an intended mechanic is sort of arguable either way, and is so well known by vanilla players, I didn't think it was necessary

[@SonicJrandSarah]

If you call traveling to another land to stop a falling moon in three days as living in peace, then yah. I guess Link is able to live out his childhood in peace. I bet there is going to be another video like this one for Majora's Mask, right?

[@williamlafond1319]

I'm playing randomizer, is there a glitch to go through locked doors? Or around not having any keys. I'm trying to reach the spirit temple statue room with 0 keys because of reasons. Any idea? The left hand leads to a locked door just before the statue room, and the right hand leads nowhere.

[@PhobiaSoft]

Okay so Ship is a bit weird. Because they added "Items on D-pad" as a potential feature, it changed the variable order in memory. In Ship, RBA points to D-Pad right, not C-right, regardless of if you have the feature enabled or not. In order to RBA in Ship, you HAVE to enable the "Items on D-pad" feature, and put Broken Goron Sword on D-pad right instead. (I learned this the hard way, but I have reported it as something that needs to be fixed in a future Ship release.)
