Accessible Ruleset
Currently, the Accessible ruleset is by far the most popular ruleset to run OoTR on. It is a mostly glitchless ruleset that allows people to participate in races without excessive Ocarina of Time glitch knowledge.
Allowed Techniques are:
- Savewarping
- Deathwarping
- Voiding to reset Link’s position
- Power Crouch Stabbing
- Broken Deku Stick
- Ground Jump (only from the ground)
- Jumpslashing while mid-air for more distance
- Jumpslashing against walls for recoil
- Momentary Antigravity (e.g. B1 Skip in Deku Tree)
- Cucco Jump in Zora's River or Gerudo Valley (note that entering the Fortress as Child is banned)
- Crossing the Haunted Wasteland without Longshot or Hover Boots
- Backflip over Mido in the Lost Woods as an adult

- Passing through the back side of one-sided collision (e.g. the bottom of the bridge in Kokiri Forest, Darunia’s door, Forest’s falling ceiling, Song of Time block in Forest, Impa’s House ledge grab)
- Backflipping through the spikes in the spike room of Shadow Temple
- Attacking to collect or hit an object on the other side of a collision
- Getting grabbed or thrown into collectibles such as GS Tokens or Silver Rupees
