I used VisualBoyAdvance under the GB setting.
  • Uses warps
  • Abuses the map warp glitch heavily
  • Manipulates luck to save time
  • Takes Damage but cannot be helped due to the glitch.
  • Uses game restart sequence
My aim for this game was to complete it as fast as possible. I take no damage until I am on the final stairs. Due to the glitch this cannot be helped.
This game was discussed but I don't see it anywhere! So I made my own.
Links Awakening is an adventure game where Link must collect instroments in order to wake the wind fish and find his way off Koholint Island.
I completed this game without collecting any instroments! The only Item I collect is the L-1 sword. The method for beating this game seems to be well known, and am shocked that I don't see a time attack for it. Thanks to David Wonn for his well known glitches. ( http://kontek.net/davidwonn/ ). The only difference between what he features and what I did was that when warping to the level 8 in-game warp: You do not have to restart the game then, rather falling on the right hole will warp you straight to that warp! That saves a lot of time. This game was hard because luck manipulation was very random it seemed. I wasn't fighting the game to create just a good path, I was fighting the game to glitch right as well. When I am fighting the Aghanims it appears that I waste time by missing the first set of balls. You cannot hit him then, you are only fighting the "invisible" one there are two). I don't see where this time could improve very much. I have everything down to the frame...considering I did this run one time before and didn't realize that the game wasn't recording. Well, live and learn.
I didn't keep the movie running to listen to the owl rant on...should I have?

Doesn't completely finish the game. There's some more text that needs to be scrolled through. It was funny seeing the game get screwed up though.
