NEW Speedrun Skips Revolutionize Ocarina of Time 

Defeat Ganon Beginner Tutorial by Druncle_titus: www.youtube.com/watch?v=BliXa... OoT Community Discord: discord.com/invite/7FYGh3d I will stream around 4 days of the week at twitch.tv/LunaticJ @ 7:30 PM EST. This week i will be learning and running the Defeat Ganon speedrun, starting TONIGHT! Come hang out!

The gift that keeps on giving. The community. “Any% is finally dead.” The speedrun.”My death was…greatly exaggerated.”

It’s crazy that the intro skip vote was even that close

How does this game continue to get new strats and timesaves? After this long it's unbelievable, given another ten years we'll have a single-button combo to warp to the credits from the intro 🤣

Huge agree on the whole intro skip being a thing. Honestly it does make me want to get into speedrunning. Recently Replaying ocarina of time on the GameCube and trying out glitches to do things out of order was so much fun

I hope the "99% of the deku tree" was a MrGrunz reference

I love how oot is constantly being optimised

I have never attempted a speedrun of any game before. I have now learned the tricks up through the ganon wrong warp and am super psyched to learn this collapse skip tomorrow. Just thought you should know it only took about a day for that hope to be realized. Thanks dude 🤟

I am flabbergasted by the argument against the intro skip which was shown in the video, along the lines of "Older runners didn't get the chance to skip the intro so the new runners shouldn't either". Well, I guess I am also equally flabbergasted by how many people were against the skip. Then again I can't understand how people are capable of not getting bored to death of playing the same game over and over again so maybe I am just not the one whose opinion matters here. And it's very difficult to phrase that last sentence in a way that doesn't sound like criticism. I am very glad there are people like that!

Awesome video! Here’s hoping that more people will try the game out now. It’s tons of fun, and totally worth it :)

Just found some of your videos and I’m addicted! Love your content and style of video 🤙

For how insanely researched this game is and all of the tricks glitches and setups that exist. It's crazy that the 3 sword swing clip is as recent a discovery as it is

These videos are sick - Not a speedrunner or have any background watching any content relating to running but wow this stuff is amazing. Great videos!

great video, i wont be watching your streams cuz thats midnight in my timezone but i wish you good luck on runs tonight

Despite not having fully beaten OOT, trying the Defeat Ganon speedrun would actually be quite nice.

Fun fact: QPA can check the flag for Boomerang damage, but it won't hurt Barinade.

3:30 OoT has gotta have some the most insane coincidences in gaming

One day we gonna have runs that Once you leave links house you are already in the credits

I love your videos. You teach us a ton of stuff I have no clue about

Are glitch hunters responsible for the vast majority of glitches found? or do speed runners find most of them while they’re perfecting their game? Has there ever been a successful glitch hunter who was also a high ranking speed runner?

Great vid, J!

Soon they will just warp the scene where link stabs ganon

Not exactly related to the content itself, but im so glad to be hearing xenoblade 3 music in videos, that ost slaps so hard

I used to run any% back in 2013 and 2014. I was watching when Cosmo got the first yolo hess on the collapse. Haven't run the game since. I was pretty disappointed when all the SRM/ACE stuff was going on. Now this video has convinced me to get back into running this category.

21:00 Another thing to add in favor of intro skip is that speedrunning is almost a spectator sport--sure, speedrunners want to prove themselves and many would still do so even if there was no audience, but popularity entices new speedrunners (you've exampled this yourself!), which leads to new bugs/strats and competition, feeding in on itself. And speedruns that are popular seem to be those with advanced tech/control for a small "whoa" factor... which hitting a button to dismiss text boxes a few times over three minutes isn't. Even learning the proper cadence to dismiss on the earliest possible frame is not difficult, and audiences are far more likely to become bored watching the same intro dozens of times than the runner would. So intro skip not only saves the runner's sanity, it helps keep the audience interested. One game you didn't mention that benefits tremendously from intro skip is Super Mario Sunshine: The runner chooses one of two save file types (one that requires creating/using a hacked save file) and then adds the relevant amount of time to their run based on the method. (I assume this is because there are two options; OoT only has the one, so there's no point adding the intro time back in.) (As an aside, I find it weird how often I hear about speedrunning communities arguing over things like this, or what constitutes a glitch, etc. It seems like intro skip, timer start on character control gained, timer end on character control lost, etc. would be near-universal but in all the history/overview videos I watch it seems every community has to re-argue/incorporate these things independently.)

Oh heck yeah OOT

The music on this video is great

Xenoblade music at 15:41 scared the shit out of me lmao

Yo narcissa is still running??? Absolute queen wtf she’s like old internet at this point

I think intro skip should add the amount of time of a tas for The intro

march 19 2020 the whole world was locking down while exodus was hard at work breaking OoT

1:28 into the video. I’m convinced

insane, watched karl's vid on this too

Subscribed!

What I don't understand is how TAS figures out glitches that hasn't even been thought of before or done by a human

I prefer a plain old glitch-less speedrun where I actually play the entire quest as Nintended. Personal best is 6 hrs 30 min set on a J cartridge in September 2020.

If I ever started speedrunning the game earlier, I would've submitted only runs without the intro, even if they were all disqualified. I have better things to do than nothing.

when does it start. I live in east US and its 8:10 here

What's the song at 16:48?

instaclip was my fav trick to watch :(

Will the stream be on youtube as well? I don't have twitch

You know what? I think I'll try learning the strats. Even if I don't intend to chain them all perfectly into an actual speedrun, learning them for fun and to know how to them sounds like a fun thing to do.

Cosmo on the ique was goated that’s some crazy nostalgia

Great video! 😍

1:10 Who is that poor soul that does 100% SRM?

maybe consider changing the thumbnail, that's link from OoT *3D*, which is a different speedrun with slightly different mechanics. just a small nitpick though lol 🙂

What's the music that starts at 4:30?

Funny to see this video after seeing Jobst video that somewhat laments this new tech as it removes "the exciting part of the run".

It took them about 20 years to allow intro skip lol

Now to skip the Super Mario Sunshine intro cutscenes and runway. So many hours of speedrunners lives wasted.

Sir I play wind water Ess position ain't hard

Any% went to shit when SRM & ACE where discovered. While impressive what they discovered & how it's executed, it's boring as hell to watch. They can stuff those runs in the darkest voids of hell if you ask me. I'll take SRMless any% tyvm, good to see the majority of the community moved over.

Saved is an exaggeration. Randomizers seem like they're the king of oot content because most of the audience has gotten tired of speedrunning

Dude collapse skip is so hard idk why everyone pretends its easy

so funny lol

☝️ promosm

First

Honestly i dont class speedrunners as actual gamers. No offence

People who glitch in games have a glitch in their brains. You're abusing the game, not in the way it was made to by played its disturbing to me.

Glitches are so cringe. Just play the game like normal

There’s only one way to Heaven and that’s believing on our Savior Christ Jesus 🙏🏼💕🙏🏼

Fun Fact is, that we call that "speed run" ... shouldnt this be called "garbagemove" I mean, If someone would contruct, build, create, something like this in reality, you would hang, imprisoned or at least fired as minimal punishment… and here we create a "sport" called "speedrun" out of this nonesense……. the world is getting more stupid …. day by day ... guess "Idocrazy" isnt Commedy its our future, and we are more then half the way on track.
