Instructions
- As Adult Link, go to the Temple of Time and read the inscription on the "shelf" with the three Spiritual Stones on it.
- Now go anywhere in the room where you want Navi to get stuck. Do not go into the room with the Pedestal of Time, or this will not work (though it will work in the hallway connecting the two rooms if you are in the half closer to the Pedestal of Time).
- While facing away from the three stones, take out your Ocarina. This is important because the area with the three stones must be visible onscreen as you play the Ocarina.
- Play Saria's Song and talk to her. The message will cut short, and Navi will be stuck where she is.
Result
The whole temple will be all dark because the game still thinks you are in the conversation with Saria (remember when you are talking to her everything around you gets extremely dark).
Notes
- Just for fun, after performing the glitch, go to some other location in the temple (the Master Sword pedestal is good) and play Saria's Song again. The camera will snap back to Navi, producing a rather interesting cinema effect. Saying 'Yes' or 'No' to the request to talk to Saria has no effect, and play resumes.
- If Navi didn't get stuck make sure that when you have the Ocarina out you can see all three Spiritual Stones behind Link.
- Exiting the temple or traveling back in time will restore Navi to her normal state.
- The Crooked Cartridge trick allows you to lose Navi anywhere.
- Interestingly enough the above glitch temporarily fixes another glitch; as Adult Link, try to read the inscription in the temple twice in a row. You'll find that you can't! However, if you perform the No Navi glitch, you will be allowed to read the inscription a second time! dvdmth has speculated that a typo in the formatting codes of the message box prevents the game from officially "closing out" the inscription message -- the message is removed from the screen, but it's still "open" internally. Calling Saria activates the routine that does the message closing, which interrupts Saria's dialogue but ends what should have been ended previously, thus allowing you to read the inscription again.
- Also, there is a loading point in the hallway leading to the Master Sword chamber; this loading point may be the reason why the glitch doesn't work if you try to get Navi stuck in the Master Sword chamber -- passing through the loading point unloads the Spiritual Stones from the game's memory, possibly correcting the glitch without using another message box.
