[TAS] SNES The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past by Tompa in  

Thank you! :)

actually that running backwards thing gives a bit more speed

HAHAHA

Clicked timestamp out of curiosity. Curiosity instantly rewarded.

@@mythgraven Yes I agree 100% yes I agree I can't say I don't agree because I agree Yes lol hahaha

1:12:47 🤣

Asterisk goes after period

14 now

You can do it! And of you ever get stuck, ask us.

@@GamingSpreeMX Thanks for the inspiration 😁👍

You don’t need help. It’s easy af

@@randomdouchebag Well, at least you live up to your name

@@randomdouchebag I'd say its easy af now since they've got rewind and Save states. We had everything the old fashioned way back then and loved it!

Well damn!! Frfr

Went to type the same thing when I saw this

Nope, nothing to see here, move along :)

HAHAHAHA

Just something _slightly_ odd

Possible to do it without TAS I do it all the time

That’s because he’s using hacks to beat it 😂

@@SledgeMichaels 👍

Current NMG now also is no S+Q. They are pretty cool, IMO.

The 100% is my favorite TAS of all time

I started one, several times even, but gave up due to not coming up with a logical ruleset that I liked...

I see what you did there 😏

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

The conditions is to just beat the game without any major glitches such as exploration glitch and really overpowered shit (see ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YLSBPKLvgUs.html as an example of all items/heart pieces collected with major glitches)

@@xxEzraBxxx I did enjoy watching the glitched version. Interesting how games can be manipulated without cheats. In the middle of the video I thought the game was broken. Thanks for sharing

I just got back into the game as an adult (30 years old to be exact), and I used to CRUSH this game as a 10 year old thinking “wow this is so easy I love this game!” Flash forward 20 years and I decide to speed run it……I didn’t even make it to the boomerang before I got my head caved in X’D

@@nickmac1104 Play it on the SNES mini so you can use save states.

Then watching link turn off gravity right after. I love tas videos that put real effort into making them entertaining. I truly appreciate this run

@@toxickandy9669 Glad you liked :). It's a very outdated run though and quite improveable, but I'm mostly happy with it.

Lots of "save and quits" though, which are counted that way for some reason.

This is 18+ material.

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.

This is the US 1.0. Back when I started this run, it wasn't really known that the JP 1.0 version was superior. One of many reasons this run is very outdated.

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.

There will never ever be a 100% TAS with no glitches, I'm afraid.

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! =)

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.

Just some nice hovering :) It's done by starting to charge the Pegasus Boots, release A for a single frame only to move forwar andd then press A again to re-charge. For the TAS, I only press A for a single frame, but it can be held down for up to 29 frames, though you musn't release it for more than a frame. Several speedrunners have learned to master this and use it in runs as well.

I still run Standard Mode with swords assured. Guess I´m old fashioned :D

Bait Comment

Nothing modded and no cheat codes active.

Might want to look up what a TAS (tool assisted speedrun) is.
