The Legend of Zelda Relay by various runner in  

Green Tunic and Blue Wizzrobes can be a death sentence for even the best Z1 players. x.x

I feel worse for Peahat's LTTP runner. He was about 1 minute 20 seconds faster than Pro_TGMH's guy. And Sidewayz' was the best of the three, beating Pro_TGMH by over 1 minute 30

Simpoldood (or do00d as he goes by these days) has the world record, but yeah, JN is certainly one of the best.

Love it! :-D

Hello, lots of things went wrong, the first death was on me. I didnt' react to being gridded which happens in this game. My controller was giving me some issues during the run, a few inputs got ate. We moved on to Zelda 2 cause i could of been stuck there forever. We had a mercy rule that wasn't addressed. Had to keep the show rolling ya know :-)

@@cantaloupeme sorry that happened :( I felt for you. You had a great run otherwise!

@@cantaloupeme You're still the best man. Sucks that happened but you are a great runner. Truly one of my favorites.

@@cantaloupeme It made me proud the way you fought through that adversity. You have a new fan in me.

@@cantaloupeme That really bites. Comisserations to you for that, the frustration was clear and I really felt for you. I usually pick a screen to follow and I picked yours, it was killing me when it went wonky. The run was amazing though, there's no shame in the last 1% going bad when 99% of it was amazing. Hope to see you again at another GDQ!

Ryan Pawelko those games are not very marathon safe. Just finishing one of those runs is a miracle, let alone all 3 games, and even more incredible to expect relay races between multiple teams. There’s about 300 different run killers between the 3 games, it’s not very likely.

@@DrBacon22 "Marathon Safe" seems to be going out the window with time for AGDQ though. We had both Super Metroid Impossible and a Link to the Past Crowd Control this year, plus 2p1c blindfolded Punchout . . . . Every year it seems like GDQ moves further away from being a speedrunning event and more of an exhibition of the awesome things communities have found to do with the games they love, which is part of why I love watching the runs. Randomizers, romhacks, and more are getting featured more prominently, and in doing so upping the entertainment factor for audiences that might not be as interested if it was *just* speedrunners (as impressive as their skills might be.) I think seeing Sonic 1/2/3/K would be really cool to see at one of the events, if not as a race then just as an exhibition. Other cool options: --A Spelunky race set up much like the hot seat SMM2 race this year --Wonder Boy relay --Disney Afternoon Relay (all the games in the Afternoon Collection) --Spyro Reignited Relay --Contra 1/2/3 Relay Race

Always root for Pro_JN 😄 If my mind serves me correctly I think he’s undefeated in GDQ-races despite not being the world record holder in any of the categories he’s played during GDQ.

We still don't know what happened.

I asked simpoldood about that, the world record holder who has put in thousands of attempts, he's never seen it happen either, and don't know what could have caused it but guesses it was something wrong with either the cart or the console.

Corrupted savefile most likely, but exactly how the savefile gets corrupted in that specific way is anyones guess...

There were some issues with the controller and there was a rule that the team could pass after a certain point. Since it is a marathon rather than a serious race it is more important that all three teams stayed in the game.

@@redtaileddolphin1875 I had some controller issues. When i got home, the rubber was wore down. I was gripping it too tight. Pressure does things, lol. Especially after the first death, it just spiraled down hill from there.

The game scrolls top to bottom or left to right. When you enter the dungeon at the bottom of the screen, then exit, you are technically exiting through the top. Since you cant exit a locked door, the door becomes unlocked. A weird glitch.

It is a well known glitch with level 1. If you enter, then exit, then re-enter, the door becomes unlocked.
