This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see tasvideos.org/1269M
TAS originally published on 2009-04-06
Full completion of The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past.
Both this run and the short version use a wobbling trick in order to make Link walk a bit faster.
The execution of this maneuver requires the usage of a controller that allows the player to press Up+Down simultaneously (such as, in this case, a modified Snes9x's controller).
The traveling-through-walls trick that is seen in the short version is not used.
This run features an improvement of a little over 4 minutes.

@TheUltimateRare Жыл бұрын

so basically for the final fight, the game doesn't really check if Ganon should turn to silver or whatever so you are able to use attacks to damage Ganon if you attack JUST as he teleports away. Why? Probably an oversight. but using this trick you can beat Ganon without any arrows. You still need some magic and fire rod/Lamp though. Bonus info: If you light the right torch by keeping the torches from going out, you can prevent the right torch from ever going out. i forget how you do it but if you watch the TAS you'll get a basic idea of how.

After you got the Pegasus Boots, you can float by turboing the A button while moving. While you have to release the button for one frame only, you can actually press it for up to 29 frames. This trick has been mastered by many real time runners, and it can be seen in the top runs

How is he spinning across the black voids? Seems a bit odd

@TompaA 2 ай бұрын

After you've obtained the Pegasus Boots, you can hover over voids by turboing the A button. As long as you don't hold A for more than 30 frames, which then starts the dash and you'll fall down, you can release A and repress it and you'll move forward every time the button is released. The technique is also used in regular speedruns as well as in randomizer, it's a bit tricky to learn though, but some have mastered it. The spinning is just when I'm doing the wobbling technique. When going left or up, I can increase the movement from a 2-1-2-1 speed cycle to 2-2-2-2 by holding left and press right every second frame.

Is this a human or AI player? I don't quite understand why you don't gather hearts to keep your energy up. Why fight a boss on 1 heart with the alert beeping? It makes no sense to me. 🤷

@TompaA Жыл бұрын

I'm a human. I did this by playing the game frame by frame while using save states, which is what a Tool-Assisted Speedrun is. The goal is to find out how fast a game can be beaten in theory when every input press is perfected. The run is not meant to show any gameplay skill, as that's not the type of skill needed to make a TAS. That should hopefully explain your second question as well. Though I can gladly go into more detail on how this was made, if you are curious! =)

After you obtain the Pegasus Boots, you can hover by pressing A every second frame. It's done by real time runners as well, which you can hold down for A up to 29 frames, you can only release it for one frame max. While it does sound quite difficult, a lot of runners can actually do it with consistently.

Has there ever been a TAS speedrun beaten by an actual living person?

@TompaA Жыл бұрын

Yes, several cases. If there is a new big glitch found in a game, it's much quicker to make a real time run of it than an optimised TAS. For many years, there was an outdated TAS of Majora's Mask due to new discoveries, as an example. Sometimes a real time run can also appear faster due to different timing methods and rules.
