Ocarina of Time Miscellaneous Glitches - Skip the Puzzle
From ZeldaChaos
The glitch: taking damage, and then being carried through the spiked obstacle.
Instructions
- Enter the dungeon inside the Great Deku Tree.
- Find the room that has a pool of water in the middle, a rotating log covered in spikes, and a platform that moves from one side of the room to the other. You're meant to get across by lowering the water level with the underwater switch.
- Wait for the platform to come towards the side you start on, and as soon as you think you can make it, jump onto the platform (it must still be coming towards you).
- Without stopping jump straight off the platform into the rotating log.
Result
You'll hit it and get knocked back onto the platform, which will by now have started going the other way. You'll land on the platform while flashing red, while you're still flashing the platform will carry you straight through the spiked log and onto the other side of it.
Explanation
This happens because while you are flashing red you are invincible -- otherwise, things like being trapped in a mob of enemies would be instantly fatal.
