  • Emulator: Snes9x v1.43+ v9
    • Use WIP1 Timing
    • Allow Left+Right / Up+Down
    • Volume Envelope Height Reading
  • Aims for fastest time
  • Abuses programming errors
  • Takes damage to save time
Description
This run is 174 frames (2.9 seconds) faster than OmnipotentEntity's existing run. Most of the improvements come from new tricks that involve doorways, stairs and pressing three directional buttons at once.
Credits
  • OmnipotentEntity
    • For the existing run, which also served as a guideline for the standard of this run. Also making suggestions and providing ideas of different methods to go about things.
  • dezbeast
    • Discovering two awesome tricks/bugs that contribute to most of the time saved in this run. Specifically, they are the "pixelporting" trick used through doorways and the bug used to bypass walking up stairs. Also providing a highly optimized WIP to set a standard for outside the castle.
  • comicalflop
    • Whose attempt to do the 100% run motivated me to try this game again. Also offering suggestions for alternate routes, attempts to do part of the run (which were unfortunately scrapped) and encouragement.
  • flagitious
    • Providing opinions and offering suggestions that ultimately affect this run in some way.
Please note that I used the same .smv that I used for my any% run a while ago as to avoid re-doing some parts, so the re-record count should only be around 3500.
Truncated: Accepted as an improvement to the published short version.
Bisqwit: Processing.

TAS of 2007 N64 TAS of 2007
Incase anyone is curious, this is how to beat the game without L+R or U+D movement. This was done entirely in real time using only one re-record. http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/5181/Legend%20of%20Zelda%2C%20The%20%28U%29.smv It takes a while longer though, but it shows you how to do it on a console.

Looks good. Yes vote here. I'm wondering though, why did you press the R- and L- button now and then?

Wow. The previous movie was already short and full of glitches. I never expected another glitch to fit in there. yes vote.

Do you mean L and R? L is bound to the same button as fast-forward and R is bound to the same button as unpause, so you see me pressing those R periodically throughout the run. R doesn't affect anything other than toggling between view modes on the overworld map I think.

I guess I should read through the posts before asking questions. :) I just noticed it wasn't mentioned in the author's comments. Thanks for the answer.

The credits of a game are still part of the "speedrun".
I was interested by this point - do you guys feel the credits need to be watched before forming an opinion and rating? I only really watched until the credits started - fast forwarding through the rest. I mean fine as the ending is, I've already seen it a few times myself and the rain does get irritating. In any case, the first few minutes at least just showed an insane amount of breaking and it's always fun (in a slightly sadistic way) to see a well-known game disfigured beyond recognition. This and the Mario 64 run - to me - kinda epitomise an aspect of what TAS can offer.
I'm just some random guy. Don't let my words get you riled - I have my opinions but they're only mine.
