Using the shield while going up a ladder (sort of anyway) hints and tips for Zelda 64: Ocarina of Time

Using the shield while going up a ladder (sort of anyway)

Go up to a ladder, or any climbable surface for that matter, and face it head on. Then go into z-target mode. After that, take out your sword but don't activate your shield. Climb up on the ladder. If done right, Link should go up a couple of steps with his shield facing inward toward the ladder. (Not doable with the hylian shield as young Link or biggoron's sword)
