Ocarina of Time Miscellaneous Glitches - Rock Armor
From ZeldaChaos
The "hover-grab".
Falling while grabbing the rock.
Link's hands are rotated slightly -- he's still holding the rock, but his arms aren't rotated slightly. If he were to rotate his arms to point upward, his hands would be perfectly positioned to carry something over his head.
Requirements
- This glitch can only be done as Adult Link because...
- You need the Hover Boots.
Instructions
- On Death Mountain Trail, in front of the main entrance to Goron City, there is a small elevated platform with a circle of small rocks sitting on it.
- Stand on the ground next to one of the rocks that is right next to the edge of the platform and equip the Hover Boots.
- Jump up on the platform so that you are between the rock and the edge of the platform.
- Wall backwards off the edge a little so that you start to hover.
- Before they stop hovering, press A to grab the rock in front of you.
Result
The Hover Boots should wear off, and Link will fall to the ground while he is in the middle of picking up the rock. The rock will fall too, but it won't go back up when Link stands up. Link will now be holding his hands at his side as though he isn't holding the rock, and the rock will be sitting somewhere around Link's midriff.
Pressing A will make Link throw the rock.
Explanation
If you pay careful attention to Link's hands, you'll find that they're slightly rotated, such that if he were to rotate his arms to point upward, his hands would be perfectly positioned to carry something over his head. The glitch, then, is that his arms aren't rotated the way they should be.
