Kill the Postman

From: http://www.zeldaelements.net/10secrets.shtml

To send the Postman careening off the edge of a cliff, leave Kakariko
Village from the northern exit. When you come to the rocky bridge, hang off
the right side and sidle your way past the first sixth of its length. Climb
back up and run past the end of the bridge, hugging the canyon edge as it
wraps around. Eventually, the Postman will be triggered and will run right
past you. In a scene reminiscent of Austin Powers 2, the Postman will (after
a lengthy fall) hit the ground and begin talking to you. It's okay, I'm
alive! I've just broken my legs.




Anyone know if this is a joke?

Anyone actually made it happen?

And if yes, could you elaborate on what I might be doing wrong? Would be fun
to see it for myself.

"All" the other ones I seem to have found/noticed by myself...
But, that one I can not replicate.
