Water Walk

Water Walk

Water Walk is a minor glitch that allows Link to walk on water as if it were dry land.

Execution

There are two ways to trigger a water walk:

• Store a nonzero pit variable ($5B) and then jump southwards onto a body of water.
• Fake flipper into the waterfall fairy cave and exit while possessing the moon pearl.
