Speedrunners Didn’t Take Long To Find New Ways To Break Ocarina Of Time

Speedrunners have quickly found several new ways to bypass sections of *Ocarina of Time* on Switch 2, including glitches that launch Link high into the air. The discoveries show how quickly players familiar with the original game can adapt their techniques to the new version.

A runner reached the credits in about four and a half hours the day after launch. Other tactics use Magic Bean flowers, empty chests, item swapping and timed attacks to jump over obstacles or roll faster; some skips also disrupt cutscenes, causing child and adult versions of Link to appear in the wrong scenes.
