Zelda: Ocarina Of Time players discover hidden treasure after 26 years

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time players discover a secret treasure that some of us never knew existed after 26 years.

The Legend of Zelda is one of the most iconic video game properties in history and alongside Super Mario, it’s Nintendo’s baby. Since the series made its debut on the NES in 1986, almost every entry has improved upon the last, which is quite an achievement in itself.

Depending on which Legend of Zelda fan you ask, many will give a different answer as to which is the best game in the series. Some might say A Link to the Past, Ocarina of Time, The Wind Waker or Breath of the Wild to name a few.

The truth is, The Legend of Zelda is a fantastic series, no matter which game is your favourite but the chances are that the most popular answer might be the Nintendo 64’s Ocarina of Time, released in 1998 with its legendary Metacritic score of 99.

The Kingdom of Hyrule in Ocarina of Time gave players a sense of adventure that no game at the time could provide and to this day, players are still revisiting this beloved classic, especially as it’s included in the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion library.

The map of Hyrule is also relatively large and is packed full of secrets that some players may never discover, such as this little treasure shared in a Reddit post.

“Does anybody know any cool tricks or facts about Ocarina of Time?” asked theaverageplayer2. “I’m currently replaying it and just looking for cool ideas, glitches or whatever.”

Many members of the thread were eager to answer, but this one answer in question has piqued our interest. “Jump off the chains of the castle drawbridge for some free rupees,” replied satansayssurfsup.

In case you didn't know, if you walk up the chain of the drawbridge of Hyrule Castle and wait for it to rise, if you go along the top of it, you’ll have a few rupees to claim.

Sure, this is only a small treasure and those few rupees are not going to make much of a difference, but it’s more so the fact that after all the hours that we’ve been into this game since 1998, many of us probably didn't know about this.

You can play The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time on the N64, GameCube, 3DS or Nintendo Switch
