N
NewGame Plus (NG+)
Template:Sectstub NewGame Plus (NG+) is a glitch used in Ocarina of Time 3D. It is combined with a glitch called Bottle Adventure, which manipulates the player's B button to have an item other than the sword. When in a Bottle Adventure, the NG+ glitch can be performed by quitting to the title screen while either riding a horse or fishing. Upon starting a new file, the player will have the same item on B as in the Bottle Adventure.[1]
This glitch has various speed running benefits depending on the item placed on B. Namely, having Farore's Wind on B will allow the runner to Wrong Warp into the credits, thus ending the run.[2]
NG+ allows for the fastest Any% runs. However, "Any% NG+" is considered a distinct speed running category from regular Any%.
