Stuck at water temple, where I have to jump over the geysers

In my quest to get the boss key, I'm stuck at the room with the three geysers and the tektites. I killed the tektites, and I'm now trying to jump over the geysers to the other side of the room. The problem is that I can't jump to the first geyser at all. I just fall against it (see screenshot).

Note: I'm playing on the Project64 emulator (version 1.6).

From this guide, it looks like you have the right idea, but your jumps aren't quite angled right.

Use your arrows to kill the tektites across the way. The floor switch makes not one but three water spouts rise (and not in a straight line), so step on the switch and carefully jump across them to the door. Exit.

If a regular jump doesn't work for you, try a roll jump, like Cyberson suggested. You will get more distance from it than a regular jump.

How do you get up the slope in the Water Temple?

Return to the main room of the temple and go through the only locked door on the bottom floor (towards the center of the room). Walk straight forward, turn around, and Hookshot up to the Triforce symbol. Play Zelda's Lullaby to raise the water level of the dungeon halfway.

Can you get stuck in the Water Temple?

TL;DR: It is absolutely impossible to become stuck in Ocarina of Time's Water Temple. I believe this popular myth exists because players commonly save/quit immediately after obtaining the Longshot.

How do you skip the Water Temple in Ocarina of Time?

Simply follow the ruins to the lowest point of the lake and sink down to find a grated entrance to the temple. To open it, wear the Iron Boots and Zora Tunic and stand right before it, then use the Hookshot to hit the crystal thing right above the doorway. This will cause the gate to lift up.
