The jingle glitch is a data-spoofing transition corruption that occurs when staircases to another floor are used on the same frame that a door opens. The result is Link being out of sync with where the game thinks he should be. The most obvious sign of this glitch is sprites being misplaced, and thus not visible. The only fix is to mirror immediately or otherwise reset the dungeon.
