  "account": "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.",
