Ocarina of Time's Unluckiest Speedrun Trick

The Zelda: Ocarina of Time any% speedrun changed forever in 2015, following the discovery of Get Item Manipulation (GIM). It was a terrible luck dependent glitch that scared many runners and viewers away. This is how speedrunners conquered terrible RNG and saved any%.

The extra funny thing is that nowadays Any% is under 4 minutes long and is coincidentally at an ~86% fail rate for the RNG needed to have a chance at world record.

I started following OoT shortly before all this, good memories. I used to hang out in Joden and then Skater streams. I remember an old skater stream that could make a cool random glitch video. He’s in forest temple climbing up the well vines and unequips iron boots a frame before emerging from the water. Boom, antigravity glitch and link is sidehop flying around. This was especially cool before srm completely broke everything. Plus it was super simple and even I could do it first try

There’s a lot of unrecorded depressed people with insanity syndrome, that got some out right Life after death style situations that end up becoming as but a mental strain as what happens at GDQ2015… I’ll be real a lot of people need to post up and story up about the dread personally and virtually that’s gone down in just the weird Times

Why did noone take action when the once-so-popular speedrun category started to die because of this glitch? They could have simply banned the glitch from Any%-runs, created a new category on the leaderboard or even allowed the usage of cheats/a modded ROM of the game to ensure a 100% success rate on the RNG-dependant element.

Some advice for speed viewers; If ONE little bad rng section in an entire speedrun makes it unwatchable for you.. you shouldn’t be watching speedruns at all. Cause I got some bad news for you, this isn’t even the top 50 of bad rng sections I’ve seen in speedruns. There’s plenty of runs where you gotta reset for hours before you get a run with good rng. To each their own of course it’s just absurd we’re acting like this is the worst thing to happen to speedrunning… a single low rng chance section….

with stuff like this you always have to ask shouldn't we just allow hacking to guarantee things like this. some luck based things are ok like when you need to farm drops of enemies that random drop chance is just time added to the run, but these tricks will be reset for until you get them first try so if everyone anyways only plays past if it is first try why not remove all the other runs before they even get played so that more palyers attempt this

@thewhitefalcon8539 8 ай бұрын

Except that retrying RNG is a part of speedrunning culture basically. You want to change how the whole thing works to make it more viewable for you. I think it should be allowed at GDQ though
