Ocarina of Time's Remake
Key Points:
- Speedrunners have quickly discovered new tricks in the Nintendo Switch 2 remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, enabled by the game's new jumping mechanic.
- A notable glitch called "actor jumping" allows players to perform super jumps by interacting with movable objects and using certain aimable tools like the hookshot.
- This trick involves shooting while standing on an object, pressing the lock-on button before the animation finishes, and then jumping immediately, enabling Link to jump much higher than intended.
- Actor jumping can be used to skip large sections of the game, offering significant advantages for speedrunning, and is currently unpatched by Nintendo.
- The speedrunning community is actively exploiting this easy-to-perform glitch just days after the remake's release.
