## Key points

- Speedrunners found multiple new glitches within days of launch.
- One glitch sends Link soaring past puzzles.
- Sequence breaks can scramble cutscenes.

## Summary

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.
