Ocarina of Time Miscellaneous Glitches - Fight Ganon as Child Link
From ZeldaChaos
Requirements
- Gohma defeated.
- A bottle with a bug or a fish inside.
Instructions
- Go to boss room of the Deku Tree and empty your bottle and then immediately catch the bug/fish again.
- Go to the blue warp and try to backflip into the very edge of it while activating the "play items as ocarina" glitch.
- If done correctly, the warp scene should play without Link actually warping. If you were too far into the middle, Link will simply warp outside.
- Once you stop "playing" your item, quickly run to the door. After a short time, Link will warp outside, and you need to time it so that you enter the door at the exact moment that Link starts to warp.
- Instead of coming out in the previous room, Link will appear in a room of the crumbling Ganon's Tower. Go through the only door to trigger the cutscene which normally plays after defeating Ganondorf.
- Escape the tower with Zelda like you normally would and fight Ganon.
Result
This allows you to skip most of the game, and was used by the current world record holder of quickest any% playthrough of the game.
Notes
This is a video of the world record speed run of Ocarina of Time which shows the glitch. Skip to approximately 13:30 to see it.
Ganon can be defeated easily by Child Link because he is small enough to run between Ganon's legs easily. Use deku sticks to harm him after he knocks Link's sword away.
