I don't play on XBL, what time glitch?

People have times posted for completing the game under five minutes. The top spot for meeting maria for the first time is six seconds.

That's most likely a directly XBL glitch. My fastest time getting to maria is 3:45, and that's with frame precision.

It just seems a little strange seeing as the leaderboards were fine for well over two years.

Well, there are new OoT glitches discovered almost monthly.

Turned out to be just people using a save editor and resetting their time just as they're about to fight shaft/dracula.
