Zelda Ocarina of Time: Water Destroys Boulders [Glitch Solved]

The Legend of Zelda speedrunners have discovered a breakthrough glitch in Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask that allows Link to detonate solid stone boulders and defeat major bosses using ordinary bottled spring water or Deku bubbles by overwriting damage flags. According to verified reports from Kotaku, technical research cataloged by Zelda Speedruns revealed that manipulating collision tables recategorizes low-tier projectile damage sources into explosive weapon data. Players can now replicate this exploit across original N64 hardware and virtual console releases to shatter massive barriers without bomb bags or powder kegs. The finding fundamentally upends standard progression paths, allowing glitch hunters to bypass the Megaton Hammer against Volvagia, breach Ikana Castle without the Mirror Shield, and defeat Ganondorf without firing Light Arrows. Much like competitive routing breakthroughs analyzed alongside [Modern Warfare 4 & GTA 6: Activision's 2026 Strategy [Confirmed]](/news/modern-warfare-4-gta-6-impact), community glitch hunters continue finding revolutionary tech hidden inside vintage game engines. Zelda Speedruns archivists are actively testing virtual console timing stability to determine official leaderboard legality for upcoming Any% routing tournaments.
