Zelda: Ocarina of Time Has a Hidden Underground Secret We Were Never Supposed To Find

Even after all this time, Link's adventure in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is far from over.

Sure, many of us have beaten the game several times over, yet there's still plenty of secrets to be discovered in this retro classic. Some of these discoveries were never meant to see the light of day, but when has that ever stopped fans from pushing boundaries?

One area of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time that has always fascinated gamers is Zora'a Domain; not only is it visually beautiful, even with its outdated graphics, but there's a curious black hole in the depths of its waters. Annoyingly, even when utilising the golden scale, players haven't been able to swim down there. And no, the iron boots won't work as Zora's Domain is frozen over as an adult and thus the hole is inaccessible.

All's not lost, though, as one fan has discovered a way to get under the ice, and they assure us that it's "not that tricky".

YouTuber @SeedyZ has shared a video giving you a step-by-step on how to cheat the system and dive into the depths of this dark, underwater entrance.

Firstly, you need to be adult Link so that Zora's Domain is frozen. Then, once you're there, you need to hookshot onto the upper right corner of the nearby ladder. This will lead to Link clipping into the ledge, which is where you'll use jump slash to force Link to land on some ice beyond the boundaries of the game. Once you've achieved this, you need to side hop into the water, then swim back into the boundaries of the game before equipping the iron boots. Now that you've made it, you can simply sink down into the depths of the hidden entrance below.

But what will you find? We'll leave that for you to discover on your own, or you can watch @SeedyZ's video until the very end. The choice is yours.

Here's the video for the visual learners among you:

Speaking of water, did you know that there's a way to explore The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker's Hyrule unflooded? For the curious among you, it's a rare opportunity to properly take in what Hyrule once looked like before it succumbed to its watery grave.

No matter how old we get, there always seems to be new ways to play these iconic Legend of Zelda games. If you've been looking for an excuse to replay Ocarina of Time, you've just found it. It's time to go swimming!
