Glitches you can do in Zelda: Ocarina of Time

[@oddpoppetesq.3467]

I'm the same with most Zelda games. I watch all the videos about the glitches but I never use any of them in my playthroughs 🤣 I know multiple glitches for TOTK but I never use them, I can't see the point unless I'm going for a glitched speedrun 🤷

[@joshuasuggs2379]

The fact that you explain every glitch and make these runs possible for pretty much anyone is awesome. These are the only videos like this. Thank you.

[@liquidypoo]

I didn't know about the wall in Ganon's Tower being classified as a loading zone. You showed the Spirit trial and I thought for sure you were going to showcase clipping out of the trial and walking on the featureless collision back to the entrance and walking through the now unloaded barrier

[@ohhadivist]

This is a wonderfully informative and entertaining video but all I can focus on is how HD this bad boy looks DAMN

[@mattd1466]

I think this might be the first oot glitch video I've seen that uses the pc port, and performing the glitches in an order you could need to use them from the start of a new playthrough is a great idea. Great vid!

[@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.

[@PikalaxALT]

Another speedrun strat in Hyrule Castle involves damaging yourself down so that you can bombchu yourself on the same frame that the Impa cutscene starts. You'll still learn the song, and talking to Impa will warp you out, saving about a minute.

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.

[@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.

​@@Chrisuanplus light arrows will stun ganon, if you get a headshot

[@Nathan-j9v]

So that bombs can hit his tail

[@porkeyminch8044]

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

[@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.

[@mikeschumm1003]

Watching this video and trying them in real time is incredible rewarding for some reason.

[@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!

[@TheJoeFactor]

For those following at home. @4:42 If you cant get the roll under the kid to work, there is a sillier approach. there is a small gap in the collision on the left hand wall. move slowly with the kokiri moving through the wall and eventually he will fall into the abyss. Easier to execute, but does take a little longer

[@wickedishiccy7621]

In wonder, if at any point in history, their existed a gamer so set in their ways, so stubborn, so patient, that this was how their first playthrough of the game was like.

[@RyanReta97]

While watching the whole video I couldn't stop thinking how good this version of the game looks , every other 'hd' version of a game all look like asset flips rely way too much on lighting but this being the original textures and models with just HD graphics looks so much better

[@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.

[@sparklingrose6603]

Nice ending there since I feel the Majora's Mask is the game's sequel but how to deal with the strategy and timer on how to progress to finish it I never learned online for 3DS. I still love this game though. Good glitches and to show SpongeBob in there as well! 😊

[@Ryu_D]

Thank you for the video.

[@JPBrooksLive]

14:46 " knee deep in the deku tree and you're eating me out, is it casual now?" lol

[@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.

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

[@crossfaderage]

@@PhobiaSoft Didn't even see that, my bad!

[@thockheavyfist8679]

A work of art

[@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

DoT skip has an easier set-up now, it uses lunge storage

Also the setup he used here can be done slightly differently so that you don't even need a sword, which is great for both deku stick and itemless forest escape methods.
