Instructions
- Use the 45 Bottles glitch to replace any normal item with a bottle.
- Go to any cave which contains Hot Spring Water. (The frozen over cave in front of Goron Village is perfect for this)
- Use the bottle created by the above glitch to catch the Hot Spring Water.
Result
The game will do strange stuff now. The results of this glitch appear to be roughly determined by what bottle you use to catch the Hot Spring Water, they also depend on what version of Majora's Mask you are using. For the American version, they include at least the following:
- Link magically gaining 256 rupees.
- from the bottle duped over the great fairy sword
- Link getting jinxed (unable to use his sword).
- Link holding a Rock Sirloin when he exits the cave.
- from the bottles duped over powder kegs and the great fairy sword.
- catching hot spring water duped over one of those bottles then playing the song of soaring before you leave the area will make a rock sirloin appear beside you.
- the Ocarina sounding like the Deku Horns.
- the Start button being disabled.
- the C buttons being disabled.
- eggs appearing in the Marine Research Lab. (However, they won't actually work)
- the day being stuck forever with no way to change it And Locking up the game, requiring you to reset the game.
In the Japanese version, the following effects may occur:
- your magic bar being set to zero size, thus effectively disabling magic once you use up all the leftover magic.
- your magic being replenished (like when you collect a small magic jar)
- the time being reset to midnight.
- the B and C buttons being disabled, or completely gone.
- your health being replenished.
- the game locking up, forcing you to reset the game.
- any Hot Spring Water you may have in a real bottle cooling instantly
- the Giants being unable to be summoned. When you play the Oath of Order, instead of the Giants appearing, the game will drop you off in Termina Field. If you then go to the Clock Tower again, the Giants will be standing around the moon as if you summoned all of them normally, but it will still crash.
Explanation
The Hot Spring Water is special out of all the bottle's contents in that it has a timer after which it will revert to normal Spring Water. The game saves the timer in the RAM of the game. It uses a simple calculation to determine where to save the timer, depending on what bottle you use to catch the Hot Spring Water. But if you use a bottle which is not on one of the bottle slots, the game will instead overwrite other, nearby areas of the RAM, which causes the above effects.
