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 Link to fling himself skyward at specific locations, while standing on chests with bombs or sudden movements can launch him through ceilings. Players have also found rolling techniques that outpace the new sprint feature, with one method involving target-hopping into a roll. Early Any% runs have achieved times under four-and-a-half hours, though this is expected to shrink. Glitches enabling sequence breaks have caused cutscene errors, such as Adult Link fitting into child Link's model, with more discoveries anticipated.
