In The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Switch 2 remake, you can reach the Silver Gauntlets chest as Adult Link using a glitch known as Actor Jump. Normally, this chest is intended to be reached as Child Link, but two techniques involving the Hookshot and Ocarina allow you to reach it as an adult. Both methods require precise positioning and timing.
How to Get Silver Gauntlets as Adult Link in Zelda: Ocarina of Time Switch 2
Actor Jump is a movement technique that allows Link to travel considerably farther than a normal jump by launching off certain actors. Players have discovered two ways to use this glitch to reach the Silver Gauntlets chest.
The first involves the Bean Plant and Hookshot, while the second uses the Ocarina and the chest itself.
Method 1: Hookshot Actor Jump
The Hookshot method requires you to position Adult Link on the Bean Plant and perform a precisely timed jump.
- Stand on the Bean Plant, positioning Link as close to the wall as possible.
- Hold the Target button. You must keep targeting throughout the setup.
- While holding Target, equip the Hookshot and aim it all the way upward.
- Wait approximately two to three seconds.
- Release the Hookshot.
- Continue holding Target and press Jump before the camera re-centres.
- While airborne, hold forward and put away the Hookshot to grab the ledge.
The most important part is jumping before the camera returns to its normal position. If the timing is incorrect, you will need to repeat the setup.
Method 2: Ocarina Actor Jump
The second method uses the Ocarina to perform an Actor Jump from the chest. Positioning is particularly important, and no consistent visual cue has been identified for the initial setup.
- Approach the chest at an angle similar to the one demonstrated in the video tutorial.
- Jump into the chest and move towards its bottom-right corner.
- Hold Target and keep it held throughout the sequence.
- Pull out the Ocarina.
- Aim all the way downward while holding right on the left stick.
- Cancel the Ocarina and immediately press Jump while continuing to hold Target and right.
- Run around the neck and jump off at the shoulder.
The timing between cancelling the Ocarina and jumping is essential. Press B, then X in quick succession.
If you use B as your jump button, press D-Pad Left, then B instead.
Which Actor Jump Method Should You Use?
| Method | Required item | Main challenge |
|---|---|---|
| Hookshot Actor Jump | Hookshot | Jumping before the camera re-centres |
| Ocarina Actor Jump | Ocarina | Positioning and immediately jumping after cancellation |
Both techniques can reach the Silver Gauntlets chest as Adult Link. The Hookshot method has a defined waiting period, while the Ocarina method requires particularly quick button inputs.
