The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time may be approaching its 15th anniversary, but it's in the news today because of a newly posted 22min 42sec speed run that is made possible by a recently discovered glitch (via Joystiq). This applies to the Nintendo 64 console version of the game; it's not clear if the same trick will work on the GameCube or Nintendo 3DS releases.
As an added bonus, those who beat the game using this exploit get to do so as Child Link. The trick is to defeat Gohma and then activate the warp gate without being sent through it, an event that the game deals with by catapulting you to the endgame portion of Link's adventure. The video above shows a slightly longer version of the speed run by ZeldaFreakGlitcha, who openly admits in the video's info section that he is not responsible for discovering the glitch.

I remember beating metroid 2 without the final armor to see if the ending sequence was different. It wasn't.

It goes to show how much people STILL love that game.

Does rolling about and yelping shave that much time off of this game? Really? (I would have to use a deku stick on him for making all the noise!! Dang!)

I wonder if this will work on the 3DS copy, I remember hearing the team that was updating the game didn't fix any of the glitches so it should be there.

"maybe its not a glitch but an easter egg" says Nintendo

People have known about this glitch for a very, very long time -- it's certainly not "recently discovered"

At least it's not officially recognized as the fastest run through the game, considering he exploited a glitch to achieve the "record" time.

So, first Ganon has a heart attack, then he gets beaten with a stick, and is then slain by a butter knife. Funny.

Sucks that he died at 14:05. Would have saved him a couple minutes.

Wow, that is some crazy gaming coolness there.

^ or is it that they didn't have enough time and wanted to beat the game before a meeting or class.
