"I'M DONATING FOR ALL THE GOOD IN THE WORLD AND A NO DEATH RUN!!" "..... I'm... donating for every death."

This game has held up so well. For a game released in 1992, i would be happy with a new zelda game that looks like this. Nintendo did an amazing job. This was a great run of the game aswell, good commentary.

1:07:59 Unbeknownst to all, that Beamos would train hard and one day grow up to be the prototype used in the construction of the Guardians.

Its one of those categories where i love the speedrun. You get to see a lot of the actual gameplay. I also love the soundeffects from the couch :D

one day i'll have enough disposable income to donate to speedruns like this

Not even the one playing and my kids and I were cheering and going OH NO - NO NO NO NONO - YESSSSSSSS -- well done Xelna, was a great watch and hope to see more like this!

I’m a bit late to the party, but this is such a great category to watch! The runner did awesome in what feels like a really tense run a lot of the way through. A lot of categories of many games are so full of glitches and tricks that you really have to be a fan of that category to understand what’s going on or why some tricks are so difficult. But this OHKO run is so raw you can see how difficult it is with no knowledge of the game! Bravo!

My uncle had this at his house and id get to play when we visited...it took me weeks to compleate this games...seeing it done in under 2h and with this degree of hardness is mindblowing

How the f did I actually never notice that the background of the timer is actually the timer in binary?!

By far my favorite game of all time and enjoyed the run too.

this is super impressive to attempt (and pull off) in a marathon.

The lady on the couch has the best reactions! I thoroughly enjoyed this run. I hope to be a part of GDQ one day.

i never knew lttp was actually a survival horror game

34:50 “Save the frames, pay the animal.” Lmao

I watched the 100% run Xelna did back in September 2015 (online well after the fact that is) and it was absolutely amazing. Watching this one, I’m even more in awe. Absolutely awesome run, makes me wish I could be present at one of those speed runs. Link to the Past is bar none by favorite Zelda game.

Lol, the Legend of Xelna, one hit sends you to the past. That's not bad ^_^

This run live was so goddamn intense.

Still one of the most memorable runs for me even after all these years

Absolute favorite Zelda game

Really enjoyed the vibe from these folks.. Great run!

hey it's me i'm the talky guy in the middle.

The announcer’s voice is so so soothing~

My buttcheeks were definitely not ready for this.

25:30 That was intense.

Still one of the best games ever made!

Been waiting many days to have this uploaded

Man not getting hit in thief town boss is amazing

That Moldorm fight tho

14:40 Well I suppose it's better then half the 3D ones where the item's main use is in that dungeon only and maybe as a "key" to 2-3 heart pieces outside of it. Seriously all the items this game are so fucking useful outside of the dungeon you get them in also. Bow: Ranged weapon. Power Gloves: Rocks can be used as a decent strength weapon in addition to moving ones blocking key areas. Moon Pearl: It's automatic, so no need to worry about it. Hammer: Super fucking useful for tons of shit, especially in the randomizer. Hookshot: Cuts down on walking/running and can be used to stun in addition to unlocking new areas. Fire Rod: Instant-kills most enemies from range. Titans Mitt: Really the only exception since it doesn't add anything to the power glove besides unlocking a few areas. Blue Mail: Passive damage reduction. Cane of Somaria: Admittedly this is mostly for puzzle solving, but they put the puzzles everywhere after you get it, can be used as a weapon if needed. Mirror Shield: Passive shield upgrade. Red Mail: More passive damage reduction. I mean compare it to things like the Rod of Dominion, Wind Waker Mirror Shield, or the Spinner (admittedly fun, but never viable for anything save a couple puzzles) among others.

If I would not lay in my bed I would be at the edge of my seat. This is so intense to watch.

The proper response to a bad M. C. Hammer joke is "Oh my Lord."

To be fair, most attacks done against Link in this game would kill a person. Bats and Rats wouldn’t, but getting bitten by a giant worm, and getting blasted with a giant red laser would kill a person.

That speed run is more scarier than any modern horror movies

I love speedruns, ever since i watched this channel

Wow, that Ganon fight was something.

Absolutely incredible run. Well done!!!

Playing rando makes me panic everytime he skips a chest!

Special thanks to H. John Benjamin for joining the couch. Your voice is always welcome ;)

35:20 I had no idea the hitbox on the sword beam was so precise.

This is undeniably exciting especially once in the Dark World. Tower of Hera onward, really.

Love this game...

“A few minutes of abject terror”? Rough translation: comeplete butt clencher of a fight.

Great run!! The dude on the couch said at one point that trinexx can’t be defeated in this run without the hammer, but that’s untrue. I did it not knowing I could use the hammer. Haha

First Zelda game i ever played

The noises the girl makes during the end of that Moldorm fight haha

I have so many beautiful memories of this game, every few years I play through it. Shout out the the butt cheeks above every cave inside doorway

I’ve been watching too much rando, this is almost alien to me. Still AMAZING though.

Did they do a 1 hit run, on the only version of the game that allows you to be hit in locked animation? That backfired like a rusty blunderbuss, i see. That comeback in the second fight tho.

I'm gonna be miffed if I look up his streams and he doesn't call his fanbase "Xelots"

I remember being able to beat this 100% in 6 hours back when it first came out. Before speed runs were even a thing. This is absolutely crazy to see this done in this speed Haha. Very cool!

13:10 IT COULD HAVE BEEN A HIT TO THE PAST, WE WERE ON THE VERGE OF GLORY THERE

8:09 worst guard ever! Also the ice rod works great on the Desert Palace boss.

I missed this run and finally is here!!

24:52 MonkaS

Good lord that Muldorm 1 fight was fucking intense.

One of my favorite runs. Super butt clinch the whole run!😝🤙

1:14:35 What an icebreaker

"Hallmark of the 2D Zeldas, get an item and make you use it." What? The 3D ones are no different save BotW.

Hahahaha... Angie's reactions to the near-deaths are priceless.

6:12 "Rats are only supposed to turn counter clockwise unless they run into something" ...last rat in the middle of the last sewer room turns clockwise

The legend of Xelna: A one hit kill to the past :D

most impressive

Trinexx is actually possible with Master Sword, no extra magic, without hammer but it takes near frame-perfect spin-attacks and follow up slashes. I did it in my own Low% because I didn't know hammer was stronger... Wasn't a 1HKO run either, lol. If anyone is inspired to try Low% themselves though, I recommend half magic and mirror shield anyways, at least for a practice run. Half magic not only for Trinexx but includes Magic Powder for some helpful healing, and Mirror Shield because it barely matters except for the minor but annoying laser skips you see in this video.

Cafe Colonial in Sacramento? I thought that place closed down. Did it reopen?

Where is Andy, did he dieded?

I love Angie's reactions.

w_hat the fuck_ Okay, that new tech is setting off alarm bells in my mind; this game is my childhood and _how can it break so confusingly?_

Before clicking I honestly thought this was a Rando run.

not enough andy and patty.

I thought Zallard1's blindfold Super Punch Out run in 2014 was the best run ever.... Until now... I am completely speechless on the mad skill it took to complete this run. Well done Xelna!!

Sure thiiing! - Robot

Sooraya is best host

W O W

XELNA IS A GOD

Xelna the best master

Are faeries alowed in this run?

Dude, I'm so twitchy from Rando. I think I actually forgot how to play the Vanilla game.

What's with the hex numbers that pop up in the top-right corner?

To this day, I had no idea you didn't need the Silver arrows to beat Ganon.

Xelna da god

Is this a rom hack or a glitch to get the one-hit KO?

1:31:55 That was an ice boss kill.

You don't need silver arrows to beat Ganon?

How does this get turned into a 1 hit KO? It is a setting that I am simply not aware of being selected at the game start?

I love the way the girl on the couch gets excited. XD

I remember playing this again for the first time in ages on my 3DS. I abused the crap out of the save states for the Ganon fight because I was dying to him way too many times. I can't imagine doing this on 1-hit KO and not abusing save states.

The Legend of Xelna is back to kick some Ganon's butt !

Played this through for the first time recently. This run was ultra impressive, and made me feel bad about myself. =/

during that second aganim fight it looked like there were no blue balls, what gives

is Xelna the best at this game?

The real Dark Souls apparently starts here

Next one: One-Hit-KO, Swordless, Item Randomizer

For a good pants-wetting time: 25:45

Is it still low percent when he picked up heart containers? Not that they do anything in a one hit run, but they still count towards completion.

Caleb is not impressed Kappa

can anyone explain me why they are mentioning bloodborne so much?

46:06 holy fk D:

Wowo =O

1:07:20 Stolen joke from Nintendo Power magazine?
