Speedrunners Already Breaking Ocarina of Time Remake With Wild Glitches

kotaku.com —

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake launched this week, and speedrunners are already discovering wild glitches that could redefine record-breaking runs. The new jump button is central to many exploits. Link's jump ability enables techniques like trampoline launches from open chests and midair floating via inventory spam, which players say will break speedruns. Runners are also testing menu and item glitches for potential sequence breaks. Classic exploits like the Hookshot Jump remain viable, while cutscene texture errors are causing bizarre visual glitches. The speedrunning community is rapidly stress-testing the remake to establish new optimal routes.
