OoT Glitch compendium (Last Update 1/21/08)

[zfg]

No offense to any of you here but some of you really need to know more about glitches so I created this glitch compendium.I will try to put as many glitches as I can find here.I will periodicly update this when new glitches are found.

Basic tricks & glitches[/u]

Backwalkig & sidehopping

These are the fastest methods of travel(exept superslide, as seen below). To backwalk, just hold Z and down. To sidehop, just hold Z and right/left and keep pressing A.

Power Crouch stab

Press R to use your shield(make sure you do not press Z at this time) and bress B/megaton hammer/deku stick. This will make link stab while using his shield(does not work with hylian shield on young link). Many people do not know this but the crouch stab had the same power as your last attack. So if you jump attack and use a crouch stab, the crouch stab will have the power of a jump attack. Use the megaton hammer and croch stab and your sword will have the power of your hammer, including the power to break red and brown rocks. Use your sword and stab with your hammer and it will NOT have the power to break rocks.

infinite sword

Use a crouch stab next to something with an A command(sigh, talk, bomb, etc.). Rapidly press B and A. If you do it right, your sword will be glowing white. This makes you swing your sword 1000 times a second. And you used crouch stab to do it so it caries the power of your crouch stab which carries the power of your last attack. Use a jump attack then infinite sword and you are jump attacking 1000 times a second!

Ground Jump[/b][/url]

This glitch will give you a small jump. You may think it doesn't matter, but this will give you extra hieght you may need to reach
some places. This is done by going in front of an object that you can grab, pull out your sword, face the bomb and press and hold Z and R, Press a to pick it up(continue holding Z and R) and making something hit your shield.While a ground jump is stored, you cannot use any items, sword or talk to people(Can help skip annoying navi/Keapora Gayboring text). If you get hit or jump of a ledge, this will deactivate. To do the jump, just atempt to backflip.

This can lead to many cool glitches

And many more tricks. I can also save major time in the ice cavern. Just try to experiment with this glitch everywhere. This also works in MM.

Superslide[/u]

This is the absolute fastest method of travel, more than 3x faster than epona. There are 3 methods of doing this.

1st method: put on nayrus love and just follow the ground jump directions

2nd method: Have an enemy and an object you cn grab. You need to be far enough from the object so that it doesn't say grab but close enough so that if you roll without holding forward that you can grab it. when the enemy attacks you, hold Z and R and roll and keep pressing A fast so that you can so that you will atempt to grab it while rolling. Now if the enemy hits you after you "atempt" to grab it but not to late after, you will slide backwards

3rd method: Place a bomb and go backwards a little to that A does not say grab. Now face the bomb and hold Z and R. About 1/2 a second after the bomb starts flashing rapidly, press a to roll and continue pressing it rapidly. If you did it right, you will "atemp" to grab it but, like the 2nd method, go flying back. This method is very hard at first but after a long time of practicing, you'll be sliding all across hyrule ;D.

Thanks to the superslides incredible speed, this can be used for clipping through >90 degree angles and clear large gaps with ease(if you put the hover boots on after starting it). There are too many glitches with SSlides to post here so just try to find them youself. This also works in MM(exept the 1st method obviously)

Mega jump[/u][/url]

Walk to the edge of a ledge and place a bomb behind you. After it explodes, try to pause the second link starts to jump off. Quickly switch to the hover boots. If you did it right, yo will do a very long jump

This does work in MM without equipment change

Hover boost

place a bomb behind you. After it explodes, try to pause when it looks like he is reaching forward. If you pause at the right time, equip hover boots and unpause. This has some good speed but not as much as superslide though. This is mostly just a superslide substitute when there isn't enough room for SS.

This does not work in MM

Bomb/chu hover[/u][/url]

Everyones favorite trick.

Child: Activate infinite sword and walk to the edge of a ledge. Face the opposite direction and backwalk to the edge. Pull out your slingshot and load a seed. Hold back on the control stick and backflip, pull out a chu and press R. Repeat until you want to stop.

Adult method 1: Equip hover boots and activate infinite sword. walk to a ledge and face the opposite direction. Now just backflip, pull out a chu and press R. You can also pull out a chu, Press R then very quickly backflip to gain extra hieght. Repeat until you want to stop.

Adult method 2: Same as child just with hookshot/bow(no hover boots)

There are so many uses for this glitch so just search for them yourself.

When you hit a wall, you won't ba able to use chus because they'll run on the wall instead of explode. When this happens, use a bomb and shield drop and backflip right bofore it explodes.

This obviously works in MM

Vine clipping[/u][/url]

The easiest way to do this is store a ground jump, walk up to some vines(ladders don't work), use the jump and as soon as you start to grab the vine, pull out a chu and press R to shield drop. If you do it right, you will go straight through the vine.

You can also use enemies to clip you through, although its harder. You can also use this trick to do it faster

This does not work in MM

Mega flip[/u]

An awesome trick

Method 1: Put on nayrus love and set a bomb in front of you. Move back a little bit and face the bomb and hold Z and R(do not follow the steps to superslide for this!). When the bomb explodes, hold down and keep pressing A so when you get the chance to backflip, you will mega flip.

Method 2: place a bomb and walk back a bit until A does not say grab. Hold Z and R and wait until about 1/4 of a second before the bomb blows up, roll and hold down and keep pressing A and if done right, you will mega flip!

This can be used to clear large gaps. This does not work in MM, however there is a trick very similar to it.

Flame storage

First take out a deku stick and light it. While the tip of the stick is still in the fire, pull out your slingshot and immedeately go out of first person mode. Walk away and pull out your stick and it should be on fire. It will lose the stored fire if you enter another room before taking out the lit stick.

This does work in MM with the bow.

Thats great! Stickied.

[zfg]

Yay

I updated the list just now with a new fire temple speedrun, more forest, fire, water, shadow and dodongos cavern tricks, early magic, 4 ways for early double magic and early double deffense. Tomorow I'll put in the basic tricks of OoT.

[mauricio571]

wow, just saw them all, ty

[zfg]

Updated with the basic tricks section(which I should have done first XD)with descriptions for each, new individual temple speedruns and a 3rd method of the deku tree SB which I forgot to put in last time

Sorry for updating late, I was lazy

[fuyou]

You forgot the swim on air glitch.

1. Hold Z and swim backwards
2. Press Start and equip Iron Boots
3. Hold Z and you will still swim, even with iron boots
4. Keep holding Z and swim towards land
5. Once you're on land, unequip the boots.
6. Let go of Z and swim away!

Swim with Iron Boots at the bottom of the place
Description: Even with Iron Boots, you can swim in water. Also, you can swim at the bottom of the water.

1. Do steps 1-3 in swim on land glitch
2. Always hold Z and never stay still.

[zfg]

I didn't forget the swim on land glitch, I'm just going to put it in later. This is nowhere near complete. Believe it or not, this isn't more that 30% complete. Theres just so many glitches in OoT. That glitch will go in the "Misc. Glitches" section I plan to put in soon.

[fuyou]

Okay. Can I give ideas?

[zfg]

Sure, but chances are that I already know about almost every glitch discovered.

I'll update the first post when I'm not feeling lazy

[fuyou]

eh, maybe I'll remind you when you forget to put in a glitch. You should do a MM one too.

Edit: A lot of people probably know this but, you can do side jump bombchu hover. For me, tested only in MM, not OoT

Edit2: Is this gonna get updated?

[zfg]

Sorry for waiting so long to update, I've just been lazy. Added flame storage, and crouch stab + ISG to basic tricks, added some DC and shadow temple stuff. I also added a bunch of url tags to shorten the length of the first post significantly.

[kainkarg]

Wow nice codes i'm gonna try them out right now

[fuyou]

Uhhh, you forgot two glitches.

Roll for INVINCIBILITY
1.Roll right into a moving spike. You should just phase right through it and not get hurt.

Ground Jump Alternate way:
1. Place bomb on ground or uproot bomb flower
2. don't Z target press R in front of it. Make sure you don't have hylian shield as kid equipped or it won't work.
3. Press A THEN IMMEDIATELY PRESS Z. You have to be fast or you'll pick it up. Still hold R.
4. If done correctly, Link will stay shielded. In OOT continue holding Z as the bomb blows up. In MM you don't have to.
5. Backflip/Side Jump

[zfg]

I'll be updating this again soon with a ****load of new glitches.
