Ocarina of Time Miscellaneous Glitches - Ganon's Barrier Skip
From ZeldaChaos
Instructions
- Go to the first room of the spirit puzzle in Ganon's Castle.
- Push a statue to the wall on the left of the door you entered through.
- Face the corner between the statue and the door/wall.
- Have your sword out and do a jump attack, then move forward immediately (or you will fall down into The Void). You should now be in the main area, but the barrier in the middle of the room is gone.
- Since everything is dark, move along the wall until you hear link stepping on carpet. Once he steps on the carpet, you should be right in front of the bridge that leads to the passage in the middle of the room.
- Try to navigate your way across the bridge.
Result
You will now have skipped a whole section of Ganon's castle. If you go back through the door, the barrier will still be there, and you won't be able to get back through unless you do the glitch again.
Explanation
When you left the room through the the wall, rather than the door, the game wasn't told to load any of the textures or events in the next room. In fact you could still hear and see all the events going on in the room you just left.
