Speedrunners Break Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake With New Glitches

Speedrunners have already discovered multiple glitches in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time's Switch 2 remake, launched November 5, including launching Link into the air and skipping game sections within hours of release. New physics allow players to fling Link skyward at specific locations, while another glitch uses chests or bombs to launch him through ceilings. Early strategies also show rolling may be faster than the new sprint feature, with players finding ways to climb walls by switching items. An Any% run has been completed in under four and a half hours, though this time is expected to shrink. Glitches also enable Young Link to access Adult Link content, causing visual glitches in cutscenes. The remake averages about 20 hours for typical players.
