Ocarina of Time Miscellaneous Glitches - Zora Link
From ZeldaChaos
"Swimming".
Aiming the Hookshot while swimming.
Method 1
- As Adult Link, find some water that is deep enough to swim in.
- Press and hold Z. Do not let go of Z until after the glitch is done; letting go of Z will prevent the glitch from working (if it's not yet active) or end it (if it's active).
- Make sure you have the Kokiri or Hover Boots on. Then get into the water and start swimming.
- While in the middle of a swimming stroke pause the game and switch to the Iron Boots.
- Unpause the game, and as you do so, hold forward on the analog stick to make Link continue swimming. Link should keep swimming but will sink to the bottom... and continue swimming on the bottom.
- Swim along the bottom of the water, making your way to land.
Method 2
- As Adult Link, get into some water deep enough to swim in.
- Equip the Iron Boots.
- Get close to land and sidehop.
- If done correctly, you won't sidehop, but start swimming.
- Now before you sink, you should start rising on to the land. Quickly, go into the item menu and take the Iron Boots off by un-equipping them.
Result
You'll end up swimming in the air. Try using the Hookshot/Longshot while holding Z/L -- you'll continue swimming, and it looks really crazy as Link tries to do swimming motions and hold the Hookshot/Longshot out in front of him at the same time. Also, once you are swimming on land, you can equip the Kokiri or Hover Boots to swim faster.
Ending the Glitch
The following actions will end the glitch and return Link to his normal, walking state.
- Attempting to dive
- Using a weapon/item
- Letting go of Z/L
