Speedrunners have reported launch glitches and age-based sequence breaks in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake. Vandal described Link being flung upward by flying bean plants or from chests, while ZFG reported reaching a child-Link reward as adult Link. A later dungeon test used cheats and triggered an automatic age change, a different result from a glitch-enabled route.
Reported launches point to possible route breaks
Vandal reported that pushing Link against a wall with a flying magic-bean plant could send him skyward, and described a similar launch from inside chests. The outlet said the bean-plant launch might let players reach the Shadow Temple early or skip part of the Spirit Temple. Those are possible route effects, not a completed speedrun route. Vandal’s report
A sequence break is a way of reaching a part of a game or triggering an event outside its expected progression. ZFG’s gameplay video, published November 10, 2026, shows movement attempts and route exploration in the remake.
For a separate angle on the same game, NeoTeo’s earlier report covered its early PC emulation tests.
A launch glitch can suggest a shortcut; a speedrun route has to carry Link through the sequence it aims to skip.
Adult Link reaches a chest meant for child Link
In a November 7, 2026 post, ZFG said a glitch let adult Link reach the Silver Gauntlets chest intended for child Link. The cutscene then tried to fit adult Link into the child model. ZFG’s post about the Silver Gauntlets sequence
ZFG’s example reverses the age expected for that reward, but the reverse sequence had not been achieved with glitches as of that day: ZFG said child Link could not yet enter an adult-only cutscene through a glitch.
The dungeon test used cheats
In the November 10 video, ZFG described a cheat-assisted test in which completing an adult dungeon as child Link automatically turns Link into an adult. The test demonstrates that age change under cheats; it is not a glitch-enabled dungeon clear as child Link.
Discovery credit is disputed
A Reddit commenter distinguishes performing a jump from discovering it, crediting VidyaJames with the original bean jump, Ataappi with actor jumps generally, and RoboRotembo with a particular early Shadow Temple jump. Those are the commenter’s attributions. The Reddit discussion
