I subbed for the technical explanation of the screen scroll glitch. :D One of the things that has gotten me to stick around in speedrunning (spectating) is the technical aspect of what these runners are doing and how they have dissected the games. So thanks for helping to explain these crazy techniques!. :D

Exactly! There's two things needed for level 9 1 - all eight triforce pieces to "skip the old man" in the beginning 2 - any sword to beat Ganon (plus the bow + silver arrow) This is why you can't beat Ganon in the swordless speedrun.

It's as if at the end of every level, a bus arrives every 21 frames to bring you to the next level. Even if you miss the bus by just one frame, you would still have to wait 20 frames to catch the next bus. Sometimes though, you'll arrive just before a bus does, and you'll hardly have to wait at all. Of course, this doesn't apply to the last level, since timing stops immediately once you touch the axe at the end.

"part of it"? Literally could not have been done without you. :) congrats Edit: did you have to attempt a single screen wrap more than once? If so, I missed it. That was gorgeous. Also, do you do this with a teammate keeping track of the bomb and fairy counters? Is that who you high five at the end? If so, the idea of team speed running makes this seem so much like formula 1. Very impressive!

That is some absurd speed to turn around anything in, especially something of this quality. Beyond amazing work from Bismuth as usual.

The part at 38:32 was really good and something I think would be great to have more of. You explained how one tiny, seemingly insignificant mistake led to several other timelosses which added up to 3 seconds lost. It really shows how quickly things can go wrong and how easy it is to lose time. It was also great how Lack seemed to realize, in his head, all the small consequences pretty much immediately and how to adjust for them. Love the videos mr banana man

Seriously, imagine if Bismuth teamed up with Tomatoanus on an explained speedrun they both knew a lot about. It would be so wonderful! My favorite aspect of speedruns is people can manipulate things in unintended ways to serve a benefit. I love seeing the mechanics being written out and explained. I love seeing the perfectly routed lines players traverse worlds in. Careful manipulations to achieve a predictable result in normally random patterns. It's all so satisfying.
