Not only an amazing but beautiful run!

very entertaining and great presentation!

incredible run man, thank you! My jaw hit the floor when you guys explained how the new glitched worked, fascinating stuff

You were awesome congrats 😊

Great run Danny. I've followed the OoT speedrun scene since around 2018 with ZFG and heard about you a few years back. Despite the death, this is super impressive. I've never done a speedrun of this game, but this almost makes me wanna try and speedrun this category...

How they found those glitches? I can't believe someone finding, they connect the game to a computer and find failures and bugs or how they get to that specific situations?

​@chefcito0199 it's possible they use software to find glitches but another possibility is that there are communities of speedrunners for games that share glitches to help their speeding. It's also been a bit since the game has released, so more time to find more skips and share with community

​@@chefcito0199 The games age and the awesome dedication put into it from the community. People will eventually turn a game inside out, using different tools, looking at code, testing all kinds of different things just to see what works. It's a fun hobby.

​@@chefcito0199 They did recently completely decompile OoT so reading code directly is on the table

@@chefcito0199it’s a mix of looking into the code to try and understand features of the game better and coming across something, and finding something by complete accident and messing with it more until we get something useful

It *is* nuts, and he nearly did what, 16 minutes?

@@Yewtewbathis is what I was thinking too, if he didn’t take the death at ganon, easily a sub 17-18 for sure

@@Yewtewba Would have been sub 16. Amazing considering the record for the category is like 13:17 if you include the intro (official speedrun times don't)

SRM or Stale Reference manipulation is the most powerful glitch ever discovered for OoT. It allows pretty much anything included full arbitrary code execution where you can execute any code you want. The problem with explaining it is the glitch is extremely complicated as to how it and why it works and what it does is a whole video by itself.

Yo another OoT runner here and I can with utmost confidence say that trying to explain what SRM is in a fast and concise manner without creating even more questions is impossible, it's not gonna happen in under 3 minutes so it's very understandable that they opted to focus on what the run is actually going to do instead of going over what it wont do

​@@nallesounds5074I have never heard about it, but it sounds to me like it would be sufficient to say "SRM is Stale Reference Manipulation, which in short means you can manipulate the game data and do pretty much anything."

They did mention the most important part is that it is used to perform a credits warp which for the average viewers that's all they need to know.

It's a glitch discovered in 2019 that lets you manipulate memory and even do arbitrary code execution. It has some interesting uses in 100% runs like giving link anti-gravity boots, but no one really runs SRM categories anymore because the short categories are too short to be very interesting and the long categories are stuck in routing hell. And there's other old ways to do a credits warp, so that's not even really the most interesting use case. Look up the Ocarina of Time TAS from SGDQ 2022 for the most amazing thing you've ever seen at a Games Done Quick event. I'm not even exaggerating.

Manipulation not memory

i only learnt about this game early this year, and i really enjoyed it! i didn't personally experience any glitches, so you can probably thank the glitch hunters who've been inspecting the game's every detail over a quarter of a century for this fantastic tech!

Go touch some grass, this game is regarded as the best game of all time not because of the glitches but because the actual game/story/graphics for its time was revolutionary.

The game is still one of the best casual experiences I have ever had. Its an amazing adventure game and deserves the praise

yo shuddup

The thing is, the overwhelming majority of people who played the game would say that the game is fun even if you don't abuse glitches. Of course it's still not everyone's cup of tea though
