The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Speedrunners Have Already Found New Ways to Break the Remake

From quicker movement to sending Link to space, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time speedrunners have already found a few ways to break the remake.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Speedrunners Have Already Found New Ways to Break the Remake

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time speedrunners have already discovered numerous ways to break the Nintendo Switch 2 remake. One strategy involves sending Link soaring high into the air, which could potentially allow players to skip portions of the game. Another method involves standing in a chest and initiating sudden movements or detonating a bomb to propel Link into a ceiling.

The game's sprint feature has not deterred players, who have found other faster alternatives, such as rolling. This technique has proven to be even faster than sprinting, and there are two ways to do it: hopping into a roll or canceling a roll with a quick attack. Speedrunners have also found ways to climb walls by switching items, and they are working on finding legitimate ways to access adult-only cutscenes as the child character, Young Link.

The average player can beat the game in about 20 hours, but as more methods are discovered, the time to complete the game is expected to decrease.

Building a GPS file converter that never uploads your files

Every online converter for fitness files works the same way: you upload your activity, a server parses it, you download the result. For a GPX track that is a strange deal to accept.

  • GPX Converter processes files entirely in the browser, eliminating uploads
  • FIT to GPX conversion increases file size 5-8 times due to XML formatting
  • GPX Converter offers free, account-free access at gpxconverter.com

Say hi to Paperwall, a design tool that fits in one HTML file

I kept needing a quick poster, a slide, an invitation, and kept bouncing off tools that wanted an account, a subscription, or a watermark in the corner. So I built Paperwall. What it does.

Denoise before upscale: the ordering mistake, and why 2x is the ceiling

Most upscaling tutorials tell you to enlarge first. Do that and the model learns the compression blocks and enlarges them too, which is how you get a 4K file that looks worse than the 540p original.

  • Denoise before enlarging, not the other way around
  • Cap enlargement at 2x per axis to avoid invented details
  • Inspect hair edge and text at 100% resolution for quality check
