- Here's my $100.

75 for killing the animals,

and 25 for Milkman cutscene.

Seriously, his milk is delicious.

Let's show cancer who's the boss!

I think Tony Danzy is the boss.

Anonymous donated $100 and said simply,

"Eat all animals in all games."

There are some animals in some of the games

that don't look very delicious, Anonymous.

I don't think I would agree.

Cat's Tuxedo donated $200 saying,

"Putting this towards
naming the fallen human Funky

"for the sheer novelty/honor of holding the title,

"Funky, Savior of Monsters."

Ben C. donated $110 saying,

"Thanks for another AGDQ.

"I watch every year!"

So do I, Ben C., so do I.

Dr. Arcfire donated $30 saying,

"Just wanted to donate quickly to AGDQ.

"Always good to see gaming have a positive effect.

"Shout outs to the rest of the Scottish smash scene."

Aye, shout outs to them.

AGDQ 2017 sponsors the Prevent Cancer Foundation.

The Prevents Cancer foundation is one

of the nation's leading voluntary health organizations

and the only US nonprofit focused solely

on cancer prevention and early detection.

Founded in 1985, this catapulted cancer prevention

to prominence and fulfills its mission

through research, education, outreach,

and advocacy across the country.

I just want to remind you really quickly,

the window is closing very soon

for nominating a name for the save game

for Ocarina of Time 3D.

That's gonna close really in just a minute or two

as that's the next game coming up right quick.

("Yoshi's Island (World 6)" from Yoshi's Island)

Remielgaming donated $500.

Did I already read that one?

I don't think so.

$500. GDQ's 2017 hype

have been saving this money to donate

for this event, so put half

to killing all of the frames

and half to the Milkman

because he must deliver the milk.

People seem excited about delivering milk.

Barney Stinson delivered $100 to us and said,

"Here's a donation for great runners and a great cause.

"Suit up!"

Anonymous donated $100 and said,

"Best of luck to all the runners

"and shout outs to everyone helping behind the scenes.

"Also, nice pillow."

I think he's referring to the ape pillow

we were just seeing on screen a minute ago.

So actually, the donation incentive

for the filename is closed.

So donate for something else.

Speaking of donations,

Anonymous also donated $100 saying,

"I've never donated on day one,

"but I thought I'd go for it now."

"Good luck everyone!"

We appreciate it, Anonymous.

("Bowser" from Yoshi's Island)

Kindle Jack donated $101.

AGDQ is by far the greatest gaming event of the year,

showcasing the phenomenal skill

and tremendous warmth of the gaming community.

Let's do this!

$2 to comfort the animals,

and $99 to get wrecked by sands.

I'm not sure that comfort the animals

is one of the options.

Personally, I would interpret that as kill the animals,

but there you go.

Hammer Priest donated $100 saying,

"Donating to see the amazing brokenness

"that is Borderland 2's glitch exhibition."

I'm looking forward to it myself.

Anonymous donated $20 saying,

"First time watching live and since these donations

"are going towards saving lives,

"let's save those animals in Super Metroid

"'cause their lives matter too."

I'm not sure that's true, Anonymous,

because they are just digital bits inside a computer,

and they're making us lose friends.

Surreal Canine donated $50 saying,

"Third year of watching.

"Love what you guys are doing."

Gentleman Ko donated $50 saying,

"Hello everyone at AGDQ and everyone watching.

"My second time watching GDQ.

"Loved it last year and I'm
looking forward to this week.

"Help Lint get the Triforce."

I'll check my pockets.

Flux Dog and Sydellia donated $100 saying,

"We finally get to donate to this awesome display

"of skill and dedication.

"Huzzah, good players!

"Also, save the animals.

"We need something for the barbecue afterwards."

All right, we're ready to start the next game.

Next up is Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D

played by Ben Stephens.

(audience cheering)

Ben, your save game name...

The winner is warmham.

W-A-R-M H-A-M.

- Am I on mic right now?

- Oh yeah.
- Excellent, okay cool.

All right, so this is gonna be the Legend of Zelda.

Am I counting myself down or?

- I can count you down if you like or you can do it.

- Count me down, please.

- Are you ready?
- Yes, I'm ready.

- All right, audience with me in three.

Three.

Two.

One.

Go!

All right.

(audience clapping)

- So, in case you didn't already know

and you somehow stumbled onto this part of the internet,

this is Ocarina of Time in 3D.

And everything's better in 3D,
so this is gonna be great.

Right off the bat, I wanna explain something.

The run is gonna start really soon.

Every input matters in this game.

You cannot look away for a second.

Even on the original version,
text mashing is pretty mundane.

It's not in this version.

Every single text box has a one frame window,

where if you hit the B button and only the B button,

it'll advance the text box really fast.

So I have to mash pretty much at a really high speed

throughout the entire run
every single time there's a bit of text.

So as soon as the Deku Tree starts talking,

I gotta go ham on that.

Warm ham, apparently.

What does that mean?

That's kind of gross.

So yeah, this is kind of a nice return

to what Ocarina of Time on the N64 is,

but it's gonna be, you're gonna see some differences.

Some big ones, some small ones.

You'll see a lot similarities as well.

All right, so here goes the text.

Something really weird about text,

anything on a white background

or inside of a shop, you cannot get quick text on.

I don't know why that is. It's really random.

So you'll see, that big one right there was fast.

Obviously, the bigger the text box,
the more important it is.

Those were all pretty bad.

I promise I won't talk about text the whole run,

but that wasn't that great. (laughs)

so yeah, that's gonna be happening.

Also, one thing I'd like to say,

the months leading up to AGDQ,

I have seen so many people in Twitch chats,

I've read some articles of people going like,

Ocarina of Time 3D?

Wow, that really sucks.

Why didn't they put the
original Ocarina of Time in?

Wow, I hear Ocarina of Time 3D
is like a horrible game.

Like, can you even speedrun that?

And I'm here today to show those people

that they've been very wrong.

This is a hot speed game.

- Speaking of text, isn't the Japanese version

actually slower for this game?

- All right, so here's the thing,

because of how quick text works,

languages don't really make
all that big of a difference.

We think that the Portuguese language

is the fastest and up next would be Spanish.

And we think Japanese is actually
one of the slower languages,

but there hasn't been a whole lot of testing,

and there doesn't really need to be

because the time saved or wasted from it

is so insignificant.

It's more about how good you are

at mashing text and less
about how fast the actual text is.

All right, and with that, we are out.

All right.

And we're back into another cutscene,
so that's great.

Okay, so the first thing we wanna do

in this run, is we wanna grab the Kokiri Sword

and then we are gonna be off on our adventure.

Normally, you'd have to beat the Deku Tree

to get out of the first dungeon,

er, to get out of the first area,

but we're gonna make our own route here.

Also, I turned off the gyroscopic controls
and the inverted y-axis

because I don't really like gyroscope.

It's kind of all preference.

It wastes like a second or two,

but I think I get a lot more consistency with aiming

if I'm just using analog controls.

Shout outs to ZFG, who does box movement here,

but rolling is way better.

So, throughout the run, I'm gonna be doing

a lot of walking backwards.

If you've never seen Ocarina of Time,

it probably looks weird, but it's pretty fast.

There's a lot of situations
where it's not too hot, though,

because you get stuck doing something

called box movement, where basically you're combining

side hops and backwalking
and that's really only good

if you have to do it for long distances,

but over a short distance
it's really not that good

'cause you spend more time setting up the angle

for backwalking than you actually do...

Okay, so this is the first glitch in the game.

That angle's not gonna work.

Okay.

Nice, all right.

Oh, I talked to him. Shoot.

Okay. Woo!
(audience clapping)

For some reason, all right,

we need to address the elephant in the room.

This game wasn't actually made by Nintendo.

They licensed another company to develop it

by the name of Grezzo.

We're gonna be talking about Grezzo a lot

because they made some very interesting choices

when making this game.

And more often they not,
they work in the speed runner's favor,

which is really nice,

and that was one of them right there.

For some reason, they thought
it was a really good idea for,

after Link swings his sword three times,

if you put it away, he takes this massive step back.

It's almost like he teleports.

And it's so fast that you can clip through corners,

actors, a bunch of stuff,
so that's basically what we did there.

It's so weird.

I don't know how they thought that was a good idea

to add in that animation,
but it works well for us.

You'll see it once or twice more in this run.

It's only good for acute angles, though,

so anything less than 90 degrees

is pretty broken with the triple slash clip.

All right.

- It's funny though, because Grezzo would like

quote, unquote, "patch out" things like ISG,

but then everything that was possible

in the original due to ISG is basically possible

due to something else that they created.

- Yeah, so they tried to patch stuff out

and most of the time their patches,

quote, unquote, "patches" actually made the game

even more broken, which is kind of funny.

There's a really good, I don't remember...

It's not good, it's actually really bad.

There's an article on Kotaku or something

where they interviewed the makers of the game,

and they said that they left
all of the glitches in on purpose,

which is not true at all.

See, when Nintendo was marketing this game,

they were talking about how it was not a remake,

er, it was a remake, it wasn't a port.

It was built from the ground up,
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

It's not. None of that's true.

It's a complete port.

They copied and pasted code,

they modified some small things,

added some textures, etc., etc.

And so basically they were just like,

"Oh yeah, we left the glitches in"

to cover their tracks, to be like,

"We're so good at programming this game

"that everything is exactly the same,

"but we didn't copy/paste.

"It's a completely new game."

Okay, so right here,

I have to wait for it to turn day again.

The only time that what I'm doing
actually matters as far as time goes

is when I'm in a state where time isn't passing.

So right here in the Hyrule Castle area,

time is passing, so I can goof around.

But in Market Town right here,

time isn't passing so I wanna get out of there

as fast as I can.

Same goes for when I'm talking to MPCs
like this cool owl here.

He's a great guy. We'll see him a lot.

He's actually not that great. He's really annoying.

(audience laughs)

The good thing about the owl, though,

in this game is...

It's kind of weird for speed runs,

but on the original Ocarina of Time,

if you just mash the A and B button,

it would automatically select the first response.

And if you select the first response,

he just tells you the same thing over again,

but on this game, they require you to hit the A button,

and since we mash text with B,

you have to physically switch the option,

and so, you can't accidentally hit the wrong option,

which is good.

- 'Cause he asks, (in deep voice) "Are you sure

"that don't not want to hear what I said again?"

- Yeah, it like...

I don't know, I don't know why they thought

that was a good idea, but whatever.

Okay, so these guards, as you can see,

they're not very attentive.

They're pretty bad at their job,

except for when they're really good at their job.

And hopefully, you won't see them.

Hopefully they're slacking off today.

But sometimes they're not, so we'll see how that goes.

But these, once outside, they're really easy to avoid,

especially at night.

Their vision is kind of obscured at night.

What? Come on.

I'm a box.

(audience laughs softly)

Okay, so now,

this is why I need to wait for day,
so that I can hatch this egg

and show it to Talon

so that he can move out of the way.

So, the reason I only set up one
of these boxes right here

is because you actually only need one of them

to make it over to the loading zone.

And you don't actually even need
to push it all the way to the edge.

So I'm gonna be pushing it right here.

And with a jump slash should, yup. All right.

That's actually a kind of precise jump slash,

when you only push it that much.

(audience clapping)

All right, let's see how these guys go.

All right, made it past the first guy.

He will catch you and like for no reason.

It's really dumb.

There's pretty much nothing you can do to avoid him.

Okay, this guy, he's playing a dangerous game with me.

All right, I'm going for it.

Be a man!

Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Okay, okay, okay.

All right, move, come on, come on.

All right, all right, that's fine.

- Nice.

- That's fine. (laughs)

That was actually pretty fast.

That last guy.

Woo.
(audience claps)

So, the way those guards work is

they have to stop at every corner
of they hedges they go to,

but they can also stop in the middle of them.

They all start in the same position,

but when they stop, how long it takes them

to move again and how many times

they look back and forth is all completely random,

so you can get some really weird patterns

and some very unfortunate ones as well.

That one was actually pretty weird,

but it turned out to be good.

All right so, a lot of text mashing.

This is a great time for some
donation readings if you have 'em.

- Hey, listen Ben Stephens,

we of dark plasma ball donated $100 saying,

"Best of luck to Ben Stephens

"and all of this year's speed runners,

"and I look forward to watching
an amazing week of fun runs."

By the way, the 3D effect doesn't seem to be working

for me Ben, I don't understand this game.
(Ben laughs)

- Here, I'll turn 'em on.

Isn't this fun?

- That's much better, oh yeah.
- Wee.

- I was wondering if I needed
special glasses or something.

(Ben laughs)

- People in the audience are lucky.

I was gonna leave the gyro on
for the beginning of the run

and just swivel my 3DS around when I was backwalking,

make you all motion sick,

but I thought I'd be nice.

- Morendoor donated $100 saying,

"Super hyped for another week of AGDQ.

"Keep up the great work, looking forward

"to the upcoming Legend of Zelda run."

I hope you're enjoying it right now, Morendoor.

- So sometimes quick text doesn't actually really matter.

Like here, even if I mash really fast,

you still have to wait for the camera

to pan in there, so no matter how fast you mash,

you still have to kind of wait.

But as you can see here,

whenever the text box just flashes by in a second,

that's a frame-perfect input,

and I'm doing many, many, many of those

over the course of, you know,
just this three-minute cutscene.

Those are all quick text, that one was slow.

Those were both quick, yeah.

So you get the picture.

Good text mashing is really what separates

the really good runners in this game

from everyone else, so.

But it's definitely hard.

You'll have some days where you're just trying

to get some runs out there

and you just aren't mashing very well.

It just kind of sucks.

But it's kind of cool 'cause I've been running

this game for like almost five years now,

and I'm still just mashing,

but I'm subconsciously timing my mashes.

I don't know, you get really good at it after a while.

Zelda's Lullaby is really hard to play.

- It's the hardest game in the song, for sure.

- Every song is the hardest song in the game.

That's a good goal:

don't mess up any songs in this run.

I don't think that's gonna happen.

- That's almost impossible.

- It's so hard.

The songs are so difficult in this game.

Okay, so basically I haven't really
talked about the route at all.

Basically, this game, we escape the forest

and it gets a little slow for a little bit,

but basically we wanna get bombs
as fast as we possibly can

'cause once we get bombs,
things get kind of crazy.

We can do a lot of sequence breaks.

There's a lot of route options that open up.

But until that point, we kind of just have to

go along with the route of the game.

But once we get bombs, things get insane.

But since things don't get too crazy for the beginning,

I worked really hard on implementing
some swag strats all over the place,

so hopefully I can get most of those.

And we're backwalking again.

As you can see, we do a lot
of backwalking in this game.

- Isn't it if it's more than like four rolls of distance,

it's more worthwhile to backwalk
if it's a straight line?

- I think on N64, it is seven rolls,

but this game, rolling is like faster in this game,

so I think it's more.

Rolling is pretty worth it in most spots.

Okay, this is the hardest trick in the game.

It's the carpenter side hop.

I think this angle's good.

There's a carpenter dude,

and they run really weird in this game,

and he's on the stairs.

If we side hop in front of him, it's really fast.

Oh, I was too early.

Because if you roll next to these guys,

you talk to them, and so you get stuck behind them.

- That carpenter kind of looked like SpikeVegeta.

- (laughs) Oh my goodness, it did.

This guard loves to talk.

Text is so much faster in this game compared to N64.

Like this cutscene of talking to this guy

takes like 45 seconds or something,

it's really slow, but here we can,

even with subpar text, knock it out in like 20.

Okay, so a lot of backwalking in this run,

but here's an opportunity to show off

some fast movement that's not backwalking.

I'm gonna be doing a trick here.

I'm gonna let the Tektite beat me up,

and I'm gonna go really fast.

Let's see if I get this.

Oh.

Ah, that's a little scary.

Okay, all right, that was really...

I totally messed that up
and I somehow saved it.

So that's good.

Okay, so this is called a FESS,

or a forward-extended super slide.

Basically, if you're holding this really precise position

on the control stick, basically you just nudge it.

You just lightly, you give it a little love nudge

out of the neutral position,

and then you get damaged, or you know,

get boost somehow, you can maintain the speed

that you had by targeting,

and so you can go really fast with it.

We're gonna implement that a lot more later on

in slightly faster fashion,

but for now, since we don't really have any explosives

to damage us, that Tektite does just fine.

Okay.

So, the only reason, we're just gonna pop in

to say hi to my boy, Darunia.

He has the best item in the game,

but we're not getting that right now.

We'll come back.

We just want the gift of fire right now,

because we're gonna use this to open up a path

to the lost woods.

Now, something weird about Deku Sticks in this game,

it's kind of unintuitive,

but lighting torches or sticking the Deku Stick

back into a flame actually resets the timer

because a Deku Stick will eventually,

if it's lit on fire,

it'll burn the stick down, and then you'll lose it,

and we don't wanna lose the Deku Stick

because we need it for a few more things,

but lighting a torch or sticking it in a flame

actually resets the timer,

so apparently setting a stick more on fire

makes it not as on fire.

I don't know.

Okay, so something else I haven't mentioned

is I've been carefully watching my health

throughout the early portions of this game.

I took a heart of damage on the bridge

to get the rupees outside market.

I took 1/2 heart of damage
on the Tektite to do the slide,

and I fell down to take 1/2 heart of damage

in Goron City, and that's important

because these guys here are dangerous.

They want me dead.

So I need to be very careful
that they do not kill me.

Ah, he hit me, okay.

A little scary.

That's a little less health than I'd like.

Something else I forgot to mention is side hopping.

You'll see me side hopping up slopes a lot

and that's because side hopping is actually,

without any outside forces,

the fastest form of movement,

but you'd have to do it frame perfectly

except for when you're going up or down a slope

because your side hop gets reset faster,

or you can carry the speed of the side hop for longer.

So, this is another good time
for donations if you have 'em.

- Well, we have $15 from Oybo.

"Zelda's my favorite game.

"Glad to see it's one of the first

"and not actually during night time.

"Good luck to benstephens56."

- Thank you.

Saria's song is the hardest song
in the game, by the way.

- I'm wondering how they got there ahead of you.

- Beats me.

Okay, so since I'm at low health

I have to move really fast here or I will die.

- (in deep voice) Will Ben make it through

this high intensity, low-health situation?

- I love that voice.
- Stay tuned.

- I love it.

So we only use this song once in the game.

We literally only need it
to get the best item in the game.

Ah, I died!
- [Audience] Aw.

- (in deep voice) Our hero has fallen.

- So I kind of lied, actually, because...

Gee, look at that.

Wow, that was fast.

So, the reason I was talking about managing health

is actually because I plan
every single hit I take there

and those Deku Srubs in the Sacred Forest Meadow

are kind of random, but I actually wanna get to Saria

with half a heart, so when I come back down,

they kill me, and they send me back.

So all of that damage I took was planned

so I could die at that exact moment.

It's actually not that difficult to do,

but those Scrubs in Sacred Forest
can really beat you up if they want to.

But they're usually pretty nice to me.

Okay, so now we're getting the best item in the game.

Shout outs to my boy Aaron Toad

for wearing the Goron bracelet. (chuckles)

So, I guess this is a good time to talk about

the bottleneck in this game.

In Ocarina of Time on N64,

you can get Bombchus from pretty much anywhere.

You can get 'em from Bottom of the Well,
you can get 'em from Ganon's Tower,

you can get 'em from Gerudo Fortress
if you wanted to,

you can get 'em from all over the place.

In Ocarina of Time 3D, somehow Grezzo managed

to make this game incredibly broken in so many ways,

and yet, every single place that you can get Bombchus

is a citadel, they're all impenetrable.

The biggest one that we've been working on

for years now is Bottom of the Well

where there's a Bombchu chest under a bombable surface.

And there's like four or three ways

to get it on N64, there's nothing on this game.

It's, wow, I got every single text box there.

Wow, that was so fast.

(audience laughs)

It's impossible.

Like, we're never finding early explosives.

We've been working on it for so long,

and we have like,

ah, it's like the McDonald's Monopoly scratch-offs.

You always just are missing one, right?

Well, that's what this is.

We're just missing one step
in like 10 different areas.

We're just like, "Oh, if we could just do

"this one little thing."

Or, "Oh, if this one thing

"just kind of worked slightly differently

"we would have it," and it's just ridiculous.

We've come up with so many times.

I can't tell you how many nights I was up

and going like, "Oh yeah, we found a new way

"to do early explosives," and then try it on 3DS

and it doesn't work, and I'm just, I'm devastated.

All right, so coming up here,

we're entering our first dungeon.

Since this is all dungeons, that's kind of important

that we enter some dungeons, I guess.

Okay, so I'm gonna be doing a cutscene skip here.

Basically, when you blow up this wall,

there's a cutscene that plays.

It's like, "Hey look, Dodongo's Cavern."

Ooh, I got the fast one.

If you land right on the edge of a loading zone,

when you exit the other side,
you actually have less speed.

So it's faster because you only have to do one roll

to get back into the dungeon instead of two.

The reason the cutscene skip is good

is it actually resets this platform cycle right here.

So the cutscene doesn't take that long,

but you'd have to normally wait
for those platforms a little bit longer.

Swag.

Oh, a little more damage than I wanted.

Oh, shoot.

Get up there, ah!
- [Audience] Ah.

- All right, all right, I'm a little low on health.

I think I'll grab a safety heart in this next room.

All right, pushing the Armos.

There's actually a trick that you can do,
I'm going to be doing later.

If you use an item like a trade quest item

on the top of a blue switch...

Ooh, that was nice.

It actually will hold a switch down

and the door will stay open for a little bit.

But it only works...

On N64 it works with every switch
in the game that's blue,

but in this game it only works with the blue switches

in Jabu-Jabu's belly.

I don't know.

Okay, Lizalfos.

These guys have a lot of strategy involved in them.

Basically, in order for this fight to go really fast,

I want them to never jump over my head.

And you haven't seen it yet,
but normally what you do is you hit them

and they jump over you.

But if you stand right on the edge of these platforms,

they don't jump because if they were to jump

it would put them in the lava or on top of you.

And so, they're programmed not to be able to do that.

Okay, so that's the first half of the dungeon done.

We'd actually have a way to skip all of those rooms

if we had a bottle, but bottles pretty...

It's comparable, but it's a little bit slower

in this route to get it, unlike N64.

Bottles are still pretty broken,
but for different reasons,

and unfortunately, they're not
too useful for this run,

so we don't have to collect Cuccos,

which is kind of nice.

Here's another swag strat I like to do.

It saves about a second and a half or something.

We're gonna pick up this bomb, put it here.

Oh shoot, that's bad.

Well, I'm gonna have to do it
the regular way anyways, I guess.

I probably could have saved it.

But what I was trying to do there...

Oh, please grow back.

You're kidding me?!

Oh my goodness, that's awful.

Here, I'll do it again.

I'll do the swag anyways, I'll go back.

All right, and so I'm gonna take this bomb,

and fill it in the spot
where I took the other one from.

I did it first try.
(audience claps and whistles)

Shout outs to TK.

Okay.

I don't need these, but there are some rupees there.

They basically increase my odds
of getting good RNG later in the run.

It's nothing huge, but it's just for a little safety.

All right, there's a strat in this room to...

Oh shoot, wow that was weird.

Okay, it looks like we're pushing this.

I've never grabbed the Armos off the side like that.

That's weird.

I'm sure it's happened before,
I just don't remember.

Okay, this room's a little scary.

This bridge, I haven't done it in a while,

but it's not too hard to fall off of it,

especially with these Keese coming at you.

Please don't hit me. Okay, good.

Sometimes that Keese just hits you.

All right, so there's...

Navi has a text trigger here,
but you can backflip over it.

All right, next room, oh shoot.

Next room is something that a lot
of newer runners really don't like.

It's not that bad.

I have a lot of tricks for it
to make it a lot more consistent

than you would additionally make it out to be.

- Also, in this room they actually improved

that ledge where you throw the bomb on.

A lot of people might remember

from playing Ocarina of Time on the N64

that the bomb just likes to bounce off the door,

but they actually made the ledge
able to catch the bomb on this one

so it makes it a little bit easier.

- So in that last room,

you're normally supposed to have the slingshot,

and you're supposed to shoot a switch on the wall.

And oh, and this.

You're supposed to shoot a switch on the...

I am low on health.

You're supposed to shoot a switch on the wall

to make the fire go away,

but you can actually grab the corners

of the platforms and kind of jump around.

That first one's pretty easy,

but this next room after this one,

there's two platforms you have to get around

so it's a little more difficult.

The jumps are pretty precise.

They're not the worst things in the world,

but it's definitely not hard to mess them up.

Okay, this health would be fine

as long as I don't mess up here a lot,

which I hopefully won't.

So we're gonna grab this corner

and then kind of strafe over here.

Okay, there's this eye platform.

Oh, wow.

I don't think I should've gotten the short hop there.

The thing is, you can't be too close to the edge

or you'll get a smaller jump

and it won't have enough distance.

But I thought I was far enough
from the edge to not get that.

Okay, so we're gonna jump over to the eye switch,

and then jump over to this platform.

I'd like to be a little closer to the edge.

That's probably good.

All right, nice!

(audience clapping and whistling)

Let's get the cool strat.

Ayy.
- Nice.

- That's pretty hard.
- The most important trick.

- Yeah, that jump slash right there.
That looks really cool.

That's pretty hard on N64, actually.

So now that we have bombs,

things start getting a little better here.

Let me equip them.

Okay, so having low health here

actually isn't that bad

because I am going to kill Link again one more time

in the next room coming up.

Nice.

You can light those eyes way faster on 3DS

than you can on N64.

You have to wait for the cutscene
for the first eye to be done

before the next one goes.

Okay, behind this wall, there is a Deku Shield.

And we don't use it too much,

but it's good for a few things,
so since it's so close,

it's definitely worth it to pick it up.

And we're gonna equip it.

In this next room, normally you have to go around

another really big room,
and then there's a block over there.

You can see it up there.

You would push it down...

Oh, wow.

That happened. Okay.

That's a little slow.

You would push it down off of the platform,

and then push it onto the switch.

But if you die on the switch,

the game has to reload the dungeon again

and send you back to the beginning,

and it says, "Hmm, okay.

"What are all the temporary flags that we set?"

So basically, little things like, oh,

you got the thing out of this pot,

or oh, you blew up the stairs and put them down.

And then it goes, okay,

is the block pushed onto the switch?

And then it goes, well,
there's something on the switch.

It's gotta be the block, right?

Well, it's actually Link's dead body,

which is kind of morbid, but it's the truth.

So, the block, if you had looked,

it was already pushed down,

and so the boss doors open,
so we're just gonna come in.

King Dodongo is the final boss of the game,

but he's also the first boss of the game.

It just depends on what category
you're running, I guess. (chuckles)

In Any%, this is how the run would end

with you beating King Dodongo

and doing a glitch to get to the credits,

but in all dungeons, we're just gonna

beat this dungeon first to kind of get it over with.

Normally, in most other categories,

you would come back to Dodongo's Cavern

because there's another item
that we're gonna get later on

that lets us do some pretty nifty things

at the end of dungeons,

but for the sake of this category

and the route I am using,
it's not very good.

So we're just gonna beat the dungeon now,

we're gonna watch the cutscene after the blue warp.

Oh, by the way, this boss is also really hard.

I don't know if I'm gonna make it.

- (in deep voice) Look out for his signature move.

(Ben laughs)

Lean back and breathe.

- Wow, I can't believe I killed him first try!

(audience claps and cheers)

That took me weeks when I was a kid.

- One thing I'd like to mention is that

a different between the original game

and this game is that you have the Deku Stick

and they do four damage for a jump slash

in the original game.

In this game, that is no longer the case.

They don't do double damage anymore,

so that's why he hasn't been using it.

- Yeah, so it's really weird.

On N64 O of T, the Master Sword

literally is the same damage as a Deku Stick, like...

Okay, so when you fight Ganon

at the end of the game, usually only a Master Sword

can hit him, but you can use a Deku Sword

because they deal the same damage.

I don't know, it's really weird.

They changed that in this version, though.

So, a Deku Stick, no matter how you use it,

whether it be a jump slash, regular slash, etc., etc.

It always does two damage,

which is the equivalent of
a Kokiri Sword jump slash.

And I haven't said it because
I'm so weathered in this game.

I kind of forget that most people don't know

a lot of the little details,

but the most effective damage that you can do

at all times is the jump slash

because it doubles the damage

that you would normally be doing with a normal slash

and that's the case for every single weapon

except the Deku Stick, where it doesn't matter.

It's all gonna be the same.

- In addition, there was something known

as power crouch stabs in the original game.

That is completely patched and we cannot do it here.

- Yeah, so crouch stab...

Do you know what the deal with that, Fox, is, actually?

Did they just forget to program it,

or was that intended?

- They got rid of it in English
of Majora's Mask, so.

- So, probably not intended. I don't know.

I think they just like didn't put a value

for how much a crouch stab would do on N64,

and so it's just like, well,

what was the last thing that did damage?

So if you did a jump attack,

your crouch stab would do the damage

of a jump attack and it was really fast.

Okay, so coming up here,

I'm gonna do another type of ESS slide,

known as a HESS, a hyper-extended super slide.

This is the fastest form of movement

that we can really get in this game.

It's kind of tricky.

I hope I get them all here.

Bomb count is kind of tight
for the early portions of this run.

There's another one coming up right here.

They're really fast when you do it well.

Oh, that was bad.
I've been doing that a lot recently.

Wow.

What? All right, I will get this.

There we go.

(audience claps)

Whoops.

These Skulltulas are so bad.

I hate them so much.

So basically, they kind of just spin around

up there randomly and if they happen to look at you,

you have to stop really fast.

But they move really fast on 3D,

so if they see you,

you have to stop instantly,

or right there, I was close,

or they will get you,
and they will get you really bad.

So, you gotta be really careful with them.

Okay, so coming up here, we're gonna get magic.

We only use magic for like one item in this game,

but it's really worth it

because it's like the most broken thing

in this game and it's so incredibly just wow.

And that's gonna bring us to another

really interesting change that Grezzo,

the guys who made this game, somehow made,

but we'll get to that a bit later.

This is a great time for some
donations if you have 'em.

- Well, we have one from Jarvis, $75, saying,

"Hey Ben, good luck from all of us

"who used to or currently play Ocarina of Time 3D.

"I wish I could be there in person

"to cheer you on, but I got a new job

"and have no vacation.

"Everyone keep doing amazing there.

"Also, this is your reminder to do the thing

"you told me to remind you to do.

"I hope that's not too late."

- Can you repeat that? What was that?

- "This is your reminder to do the thing

"you told me to remind you to do."

- Do the thing,

I don't know what he's talking about.

- Aw, thanks Jarvis.

- Thank you, Jarvis,

but I don't think I remember
what you're talking about.

- Wow, we have $500 from Miriyafa.

(audience claps)

"I love AGDQ and gotta donate every time.

"This goes to Runner's Choice."

Ben, what's your choice?

- Oh, what was the incentive again? I'm sorry.

- $500, it's Runner's Choice.

So, what would you like the money to go to?

- What's coming up soon?

- I don't know, kill the animals?

(audience laughs)
Coming up next is Borderlands 2.

There's a $3,000 donation incentive

for Help Face McShooty.

- Put it to that.

- And $3,000 for a glitch exhibition.

- Uh, put it to the $3,000 one.

- They're both $3,000, but you want Help Face McShooty.

- The first one! The Help.
- The first one, okay.

Help Face McShooty just got $500.

(audience cheers and claps)

$200 from Strawberry.

"Hi AGDQ.

"Another year, another chance to show the world

"that 3DS Zelda is best Zelda.

"Shout out to A Link Between Worlds community

"and to the benstephens slide."

Have we just seen the benstephens slide?

- Okay, so I'm doing a trick here called a Navi dive.

Basically, it's the same thing
as the triple sword thing,

where if you slash the sword three times

and then put it away, you take a big step back,

but if you use Navi, she like does that.

And then you fall in the water,

and then yeah.

There you go.

- It basically works the same if you've ever

seen Navi dive in the original Ocarina of Time,

where while you're in the cutscene

where Navi's talking to you,

the water doesn't have any collision,

so you just fall to the bottom.

- Yup, basically.

And it's really easy.

If you have this game,

and you're playing along at home, you're keeping up,

some of you are probably ahead of me, (laughs)

but let's say you're not,

let's say you're still in Kokiri Forest.

That's like the easiest way to escape the forest

early on in the game.

So right here, I'm gonna grab a Deku Stick,

that's because I'm a baby.

And I'm gonna grab Deku Nuts,

and that's because I need them.

I technically don't need to get another Deku Stick,

but there's a trick coming up,

and if I mess it up, it's not good,

so I'm just grabbing it for safety.

Okay, here's another triple slash.

Oh.

That angle must've been off.

Okay, this should work.

All right, so you go right through that corner

and...

that skips having to watch King Zora do his thing.

I'm sure you all love that.
(audience claps)

It's really fast to watch that cutscene.

So Deku Sticks do this...

All two-handed weapons in this game

do something really weird,

where when you do a jump slash,

the tip of the sword goes behind your head.

And so what's happening,
I just clipped into Jabu right there.

What's happening is,

the back of the sword is actually hitting Jabu,

and sends you flying backwards.

It's really not what you'd think it'd be,

but yeah.

Okay, so normally you're supposed to use slingshot

on that switch, but bombs work.

Those bubbles are called Shaboms

and they're really annoying.

It's really scary because in 100% speedruns

of this game now, there's a glitch later on

that you do and basically,

if you pick up a magic drop,
like an item drop from anything,

the run is just dead.

And those Shaboms drop them a lot.

So, you'll just be rolling,

a Shabom will hit you, it will drop magic,

it will fall right on top of you, you'll pick it up,

and you lose 45 minutes of your life.

It's kind of sad.

Jabu is kind of not a great dungeon.

You have to pick up Ruto
and just carry her around.

There's not really a whole lot you can do

at the beginning half of this dungeon.

That being said, the most important room of the game

is coming up, though.

And I will explain why in a second.

It's very important.

I assure you, this is no laughing matter, okay?

So there's an Octorok in the next room,

and he's gonna shoot a projectile at me.

I'm gonna do a trick called a megaflip off of it,

and if I miss it, I don't lose any time,

but like,

I'll be ashamed of myself.

(audience laughs)

So I have to get this.

Uh oh, no!

All right, I can redeem myself, all right.

I can redeem myself here.

So if Ruto, if you're in the idle animation,

Ruto can make this really weird noise.

It's completely random, but hopefully she'll do it.

Come on, do it, do it. Do it.

Ah, she didn't do it.

All right, I still have a chance. Come on.

Make the noise.

Come on.

Come on.

(sucks in a breath)

Ah, she's not doing it for me.

- [Men] Ah.

- The run's dead.
(audience laughs)

(Ben groans)

How disappointing is that.

Ah, that angle scared me a little bit.

This backwalk is not really that scary,

but it's really scary, so.

You can fall in one of those holes

and that's really bad.

All right, I have to make sure
I equip Deku Nuts right now

'cause when I get in the next room,

there's a text box that's gonna appear,

and if that's up, I can't pause and stuff.

Okay.

So Deku Nuts, that's the reason I got them.

It's really good for this room.

You can stun all of these guys.

And that's also pretty much the last we're gonna see

of Ruto for a while.

We'll see her at the end of the dungeon,

and we'll briefly pass by her,

but we're basically ditching her,

which is for the best, you know.

- Also, for some reason, in that room,

I don't know why Grezzo would do it,

but in original Ocarina of Time,

there's four of those stingrays.

In this game, there's only three for some reason.

- Yeah, they change really weird stuff like that.

There's just really weird spots where they like...

There's a spot in the grave where you get Sun's Song

where they just added a door,

and they moved the Keese around in there.

They do strange stuff like that.

Okay, coming up here is the same trick

I was trying to do off an Octorok,

except this one matters.

Nice!
- Nice.

Whoa.

(audience clapping)

- All right, so that skips
approximately 70% of Jabu-Jabu.

Shout outs to ZFG again.

Okay, and we can do,

oh, oh wow, that messed up.

I didn't talk about it,

but remember that trick I was talking about

with the blue switches in Dodongo's Cavern?

Well, that was the trick I just did.

And it left that open for a little bit.

Normally, you have to pick up a box,

and put it on top of the switch,

but we have no way of getting a box over there.

So we can do that.

There's also a strat you can do found by FireBlaze,

where you can roll to the door from the switch

and open it before it closes,
but it's like frame perfect,

and the angle's really weird,
and I don't like it, so yeah.

Also, in the room before this I did a strat where,

normally you have to climb up the vines

and then hit the switch, but you can just snipe it

with some cool side hop stuff.

Okay, Barinade.

This boss is pretty easy

except when it's not.

I guess that's a good way to put it.

Okay, nice.

This should go well.

Okay.

So normally, you have to wait for her to spin around

and she does this annoying attack,

but if you boomerang her

just as she starts the next phase,

you can stun her and then use Deku Nuts

to kill all of the little jellyfish things.

- Did you just assume that heart's gender?

- What was that?

(audience laughing)

- I said, did you just assume that heart's gender?

- Oh my goodness.

I was thinking that too. (chuckles)

You called me out on it.

So basically...

(audience clapping)

You can clap for that, that was a good fight.

Basically, the point,

the strat for that fight is you,

at the end of it, you want to be as close

to the middle of the room as possible

because the blue warp can spawn in three places.

If you're in the center of the room,

you will optimally be closest to whichever one spawns.

And it's always the spot furthest away from you.

There's something really weird
that happens during this cutscene.

I don't think I've ever had it happen to me.

I've seen a few people,

but sometimes the cutscene
goes way faster than it should.

I've never seen it,

so it's probably not gonna happen now.

Another great time for donations.

- Well, maybe we'll do a sponsorship.

chrono.gg sells one awesome game every day,

and proceeds from GDQ feature titles

will benefit the Cancer Foundation.

So check 'em out at chrono.gg/agdq.

We do have some donations, of course.

TheCoops donated $200.

"First time donating to such a great event.

"Big thank you to all of those involved.

"To all the runners looking forward

"to seeing what you do in order

"to get through those games quickly.

"Also, I am on Team Save the Frames for this one.

"Gotta go fast."

Yeah, I agree, TheCoops.

- Gotta go fast!

(audience clapping)

- All right, so we finished two dungeons now,

Jabu and DC.

So, now we're gonna get the next item,

do some shenanigans, and go beat the rest.

I was talking about how we use magic

for a really broken item.

You know, people always talk about,
"Oh yeah, when I..."

Oh, that's way too early.

Wow, way to just waste a bomb.

People always talk about, "Oh yeah, you know,

"when I played this game as a kid..."

You probably don't remember using this next item

too often as a kid, but it's really good.

Oh shoot.

I cannot explain with words

how just absolutely devastating is to this game,

it just, it destroys it.

So you're gonna see some of that coming up,

and probably in the next five minutes

I'm gonna do something with Farore's Wind

that's going to really be just like...

If you've never seen an Ocarina of Time 3D run

and you're just about to leave,

stick around for five minutes.

Something cool's about to happen.

Something I didn't mention earlier,

sometimes it's fast to save the game and quit.

It warps you back to...

If you're in a dungeon, it takes you back

to the beginning of the dungeon.

If you're just in the Overworld,

it takes you back to your original spawn point,

which, as child, is your house,

and as adult, it's the Temple of Time.

So I'm gonna be doing that right now

to go back to Kokiri Forest.

Normally, as you can see,

I have two of these Spiritual Stones.
Normally, as you can see,

I have two of these Spiritual Stones.

Normally, you need three to go adult,

but I don't really feel like
doing the Deku Tree right now,

because that dungeon's boring.

It's not boring, actually.

It's a little boring as a child,
but when we get there as adult,

it's gonna be pretty wild.

Oop, spoilers.

Okay, I'm doing a trick here.

Nice! All right.

So this is called ledge cancel.

Basically, if you have a bomb hit you

while shielding as you climb up a low ledge

you can kind of just walk through stuff.

See ya.

I don't know how to explain it.

It gives you the same properties you have

when you climb ledges

and so rounded collision doesn't affect you.

Wow, I'm bad.

There we go.

- With that ledge cancel, is it all actors

or is it just the ones with rounded collision?

- It's only rounded collisions,

so stuff like boulders, MPCs, King Zora,

who's kind of an MPC, but...

So, it's actually not that bad

that I took that half heart of damage there

failing that HESS, because

as you've seen already in this game

dying is not that bad,

and we're gonna be taking use of it again.

Okay, right here.

This is why Farore's Wind is so good.

So, I just did a glitch.

Normally, you can't use Farore's Wind

outside of dungeons.

It's exclusively used inside of dungeons,

but there's a glitch you can do
called Restricted Items

that allows you to use items
you're not normally allowed to use

in places you're not normally allowed to use 'em.

So I'm gonna buy the Hylian Shield here.

Now, this can go for anywhere from 75 to 40 rupees.

Hopefully, it's not too much.

Okay, good.

If it's not much money, then you have enough

to buy some extra bombs.

Let me explain Restricted Items.

Basically, if you look down at the bottom screen,

you can see that most of the items I can't use,

they're like dimmed out,

but Zelda's Letter, I can use that item.

And so, oh shoot.

If you switch an item that you can't use

with an item you can use,

you have one frame, one single frame,

where if you use the item you can't use,

you can use it, I guess.

I don't know, it's really bad.

It's another great example
of Grezzo changing little things

that make really big differences.

They changed the item menu. It's bad.

Hey, here's another thing they changed

that's really for speed runs.

They added a save and quit feature.

Wow, oh, I'm dead.

Ah, I'm gonna quit the game
'cause I'm so bad.

Ha ha.

So, I entered grotto right there

and I died at the same time,
and then I quit the game.

So basically, what the game is trying to do

is it's trying to load the grotto,

but it also tried to load
the title screen at the same time,

and so now I'm at the Lakeside Laboratory,

and I'm gonna return Farore's Wind,

and basically what the game is doing

is it thinks I'm on the title screen,

but it thinks I'm still playing the game.

And so when you go to the title screen,

it tries to add the value four.

Why four?

That's just the number.

And so every time I enter a loading zone now,

it adds four.

And so, now I'm here.

- Nice.

- Wow, that's a hard megaflip. Nice.

So now I'm at Shadow Temple.

Apparently, it was hiding
in the Hyrule Market all along.

I don't know how he got there.

Who put that there?

All right, so now that we're here,

we might as well just go get hover boots, right?

No one does this strat. I don't know why.

If you jump slash through those text walls,

you get a little extra distance, it saves some time.

But I don't see anyone but me doing it.

All right, so we're gonna fight Dead Hand.

Something really weird about Dead Hand

is that it doesn't matter what sword you have.

If you have the Master Sword as child,

which yes, that's possible,

it doesn't do the damage of a Master Sword.

Dead Hand actually checks
whether you're child or adult

to see how much damage you do to him.

So we're gonna kill him, get our hover boots.

Something I should also mention,

if you notice right now, the bottom screen

doesn't look quite like it should

and that's because

it still thinks we're on the title screen

and normally that's how the bottom screen looks

on the title screen.

And so, I can't actually use any items right now

except for the ones that are on my X and Y button.

Other than that, I can't use
the touch screen for anything.

So, I have to make due with the items that I have,

which are Farore's Wind and bombs.

Luckily, in this case,

they are completely sufficient.

So I'm gonna return Farore's Wind,

go back to Market, and hey, you know,

archery is a lot of fun.

Let's play some archery.

Except not.

We're here now, yay.

(audience laughs)

and we're gonna enter Temple of Time.

Wonder where this will take us.

Oh, it took us to Temple of Time, that's nice.

Except, where's Link?

Oh, he's right there.

Perfect!
(audience laughs)

(audience clapping)

Who'd have thought?

So that was the Door of Time Skip.

In this game, they really didn't want people

getting past the Door of Time.

Like, they really didn't want it.

In Ocarina of Time, on N64,

there's a little crack on the side of it

that's just enough if you have enough speed

that you can go through it.

In this game, they doubled the size of the door.

It extends out of bounds like

the actual size of the door that's visible

so there's no way around it.

It's really impenetrable,

except if you Wrong Warp past it.

So, that's what we just did there.

And I should mention,

the fact that that Door of Time Skip works,

it's a miracle.

It's so convenient because...

So, you'll notice when I picked up the Master,

you remember how I said every loading zone,

it adds four?

Well, when I picked Master Sword,

it actually didn't do that.

I canceled the Death Hole glitch

because that little cutscene that played

when you enter Temple of Time where it's like,

"Hey look, the Temple of Time,"

and it pans around, it's like, "Ooh, it's pretty."

That cutscene actually cancels the glitch,

so picking up the Master Sword

took me exactly where it was supposed to take me

and the game is completely back to normal.

The fact that that cutscene
is there is sheer coincidence,

and this would not be possible without it.

It's insane.

That being said, because we need that cutscene

to do it, Door of Time Skip is a one-way trip.

You can't go back once you do it.

I mean, there are ways,
but you have to jump through

some pretty lengthy hoops to make it happen.

Also, because text mashing
is so fast in this game,

there's actually parts of this cutscene

where we're kind of just standing around,

awkwardly staring at each other like right here.

It's really funny.

It's like, uh, how's your day?

- (imitating old man) I see you've grown, eh?

(people laughing)

You've been in here for quite some time.

- Just make you wait a little longer.

This cutscene takes forever.

Speaking of cutscenes,

there's a really great one coming up

that we skipped earlier, but it's gonna come back.

It's a lot funnier this way, I promise.

All right, Light Medallion.

So, let's do a tally here.

We've still only beaten two dungeons.

If I had to take a guess, we're probably somewhere

like 55 minutes in.

My estimate's like two hours.

You're probably wondering, "Wow,

"we've only beaten two dungeons,

"we're like halfway through the run.

"When is he gonna get to the other six?"

Don't worry, we'll get there.

I know you're sitting at home,

and there's sweat dripping down your face,

you're saying, "Is he gonna do it?"

I'm gonna do it, don't worry.

- That was a pretty good guess
on the time, by the way.

- I know this game pretty well.

(man chuckles)

We get along pretty well.

- That's consistency.

- Okay.

So, Sheik's here.

Shes' gonna talk to us.

It'll be a good time for donations in a second,

but I wanna watch this cutscene real quick.

This cutscene's not all that interesting,

but the one after this is quite good.

And this one's not that long.

But there's definitely a lot
of cutscenes in this part of the room.

Okay, so when we did Door of Time Skip,

there's a cutscene right as you enter this room

and we're gonna fall right into it

where Navi goes over, and here it is right now.

She's like, "Dude look, it's the Master Sword."

But the Master Sword's not there anymore.

So, it's a little funky.

There it is, the legendary blade.

(audience laughing)

There it is!

The Master Sword.

All right.

So now what I wanna go do is go get the hookshot.

So I'm gonna make my way over to do that.

I'll probably do some HESSes,

but you already know what those are,
so good time for donations.

- All right.

Well, now would be a good time point out

we have some donation incentives during this run.

They're gonna be up at the end of the run,

so only during the next hour you'll have time

to donate for these things,

and some of them are great,

like a Dark Link 18x20 inch art print,

Lost Woods art print,

and a DS Lite Triforce edition

autographed by our current speedrunner, Ben Stephens.

So check those out.

Speaking of the Zelda run,

elfsbit donated $100 saying,

"Love AGDQ and especially the Zelda runs."

Been a fan of the Legend of Zelda

since the original came out.

That's a long time ago, elfsbit.

We have a $1,000 donation from Shane Gill.

(audience cheers and claps)

Huge respect to all of those

taking part in AGDQ.

This donation goes towards naming
the mudkip Waluigi in Pokemon Emerald.

(people imitating Waluigi noises)

- Got any ideas, Fox?

- Um...

(Ben chuckles)

So I made a little mistake.

Hopefully I'll find a way to fix it.

- Can I still read some more donations?

- Yes, you're free to read more donations.

- Okay.

FallStar gave us $100 saying,

"Great to see a Zelda game

"this early in the marathon.

"Much love to the Zelda speedruns community

"and all the Saturday night bingo runners."

Anonymous donated $150 saying,

"We watch GDQ every year.

"Thanks to the community for getting together

"to support such a wonderful cause."

Thank you, Anonymous.

JimmyJack888 donated $150 saying,

"My friend beat cancer recently

"thanks to early detection.

"Hoping this can go towards helping others.

"Thanks to everyone who was involved
in this great event."

Yeah. Thank you, JimmyJack888.

- Mm, 43, good time.

That's pretty much the fastest you can get.

(audience claps)

All right.

Okay, so now I'm gonna go
and beat the Forest Temple.

All right, there we go, nice HESS.

Okay.

So, I made a bit of a routing error.

I was supposed to set Farore's Wind

after picking up the Master Sword.

So, I'm gonna have to improvise just a little bit.

It means I'm gonna have to do things

slightly out of order,

and I'm gonna have to add a few steps

to some things I was normally going to do.

Hopefully it should be okay.

This HESS is really cool when you get it well.

So, like I said, Door of Time Skip,

it's kind of only one way,

and it's funny that I went through all that

to talk about it because I'm actually

gonna have to do something--

Oh yeah, that's a hookshot jump.

Hey look at that.

We're gonna do another one right here.

Wee!

(audience laughs)

and they said this game wasn't broken.

All right, so now we're just hanging out.

All right, I gotta be a little quiet here
'cause I gotta hear something.

Okay, so you can hear when you're walking

on the wood of the tunnels

so that's what I'm using to navigate my way

through the lost woods completely unloaded.

Ah, that was one too many.

Okay, so now we're in Sacred Forest Meadow.

(audience cheering and clapping)

Whoa.

Come on, the other way.

Okay, so there's kind of a cool trick jump here.

Let's see if I can get it.

Nice, all right.

So you can use that to skip

pretty much all of Sacred Forest Meadow.

Normally, you'd have to go through these mazes again.

Fox, opening Door of Time cutscene,

that's inside of Temple of Time, right?

- Mm-hmm, uh...

- From Market?

- Yeah.

- Okay.

All right, I'll just have to do that then.

Okay.

Normally, right here there's a cutscene trigger

for the Minuet of Forest,

but if you kill yourself right as you enter the cutscene

by shielding damage,

you actually can just skip right past it.

Okay, so that gave me the Minuet of Forest.

So, you didn't see me get it, but I have it.

And now I'm gonna go get another song.

I'm gonna go get the Nocturne of Shadow.

Sorry, not the Nocturne.
I'm gonna get the Bolero of Fire.

So I'm gonna come back through this way

to get to Goron City.

Okay, so this guy right here,

he's gonna give me the Goron tunic.

Okay.

Again, this guy's text is really long on N64,

but it's quite short in this game,

so we don't really have to worry
about his text bothering us too much.

- I think it's funny that he's named Warmham

because you're named Warmham.

- Isn't that really convenient?

I can't believe, oh that's what it means.

You guys must have obviously, in the audience,

known that this guy's name was Warmham

and you wanted us to share names.

That's gotta be it.

Okay.

All right, when we hit ourselves--
Oh, wow.

I got the frame perfect one anyways,
so I didn't need to.

Woo.
- Nice.

- Okay, so now we're entering Death Mountain Crater.

And I wanna do more damage to myself

so I'm gonna fall in here.

I get hit by this bomb.

I should've taken damage by falling in Goron City.

That would've been faster.

Okay.

Oh, that's bad. Don't do that.

Just kidding!

Okay, so I'm gonna put this bomb here.

And wow, what do you know, it happened again.

I need to get better at this game.

(audience laughs)

Okay.

- Both the Minuet of Forest cutscene skip

that you did and that cutscene skip

also work exactly the same in normal Ocarina of Time.

In normal Ocarina of Time, you have more options

of how to do those cutscene skips,

but you can do 'em exactly
the way Ben just did as well.

- All right, so now I'm gonna go beat the Forest Temple.

Come on.

Ah, I can't get it!

Thank you.

- Hookshotting that stump is
the hardest trick in the game.

- That's the hardest trick in the game too.

(audience clapping)

Yeah, we can clap for that. It's a hard trick.

Okay, so now I'm in the Forest Temple.

I am gonna set Farore's Wind in this first room.

And this dungeon is kind of long, I guess.

You know, you have to free all the Poes

to do the elevator thing and you have to,

you know, go get the bow and the boss key.

And there's this cutscene here, so...

I mean, as far as this game goes,

it's a pretty long dungeon.

Definitely one of the longer...

So first, I'm gonna go over to this room here.

And there's a nice corner here.

Okay.

(Link screams)

(audience laughs)

What do you think? That was pretty long, right?

(audience claps)

You think I'm kidding.

That's actually one of the longer dungeons.

(audience chuckles)

(dramatic music)

Okay, Phantom Ganon.

He has a really cool strat if you're good.

You gotta be pretty good to get this strat.

It's kind of difficult.

It's not the worst thing.

But basically, the first phase,

there's nothing really much
you can do to make that faster,

but the second phase is a little bit more difficult.

There's a way that you can stun him

before he attacks you.

Normally, you have to play tennis with him,

but if you're good with the hookshot,

you can stun him and then attack him

while he's looking away.

It's kind of tricky.

Normally, I don't get it perfectly
'cause it's pretty hard,

but hopefully I'll at least get it like a little bit.

Oh, one more.

I'm bad at counting.

You can tell these two apart

because the one I want to hit is a little bit lighter.

All right, let's see if I can get this.

Nice.

Nice!

- [Ben and Man] Nice!

(audience cheering)
- Woo!

That feels so good when you get it right.

Okay, normally I wouldn't grab
the Heart Container here,

but I'm a little scared because of the route changes

I'm gonna have to make,
so I think I'm gonna grab it.

Fox, it's from Market, right?

Not from save warp?

- From Market, yes.

- Okay, I think I'll do that then.

Okay, so after this dungeon, there's a cutscene

when you enter the blue warp and

we don't like cutscenes.

So, we will not watch the cutscene.

And to do that,

I'm gonna be doing a dumb trick.

Okay.

Nice, all right!
- Nice.

So this should work.
- Nice.

- All right.

So that Restricted Item glitch I did,

it's frame-perfect and if you did out of a side hop

onto the edge of a blue warp, you can,

right as it's working away,

return Farore's Wind, and...

You get the medallion if you went into my inventory.

(audience claps)

if you went into my inventory,

you'd see that I had the medallion,

but I didn't watch the cutscene

and I made that look pretty easy,

at least, I hope I made it look easy.

Did that look easy?
at least, I hope I made it look easy.

- That looked pretty easy.
Did that look easy?

- That looked pretty easy.

- Okay, it's not. It's really dumb and hard.

- It's really not.

- It's not a fun trick.

Okay, so now I'm in Temple of Time.

And I'm gonna leave Temple of Time,

and then we're gonna back in Temple of Time.

And I'm gonna do another Restricted Items
to set Farore's Wind here.

Now, this seems weird, and it is a little weird,

but this will become important in a couple minutes.

All right, now we're gonna go back to the Fire Temple

and that's the next dungeon we're gonna be tackling.

This is actually one of the longer dungeons,

and the fact that I made the routing error

that I made earlier is gonna make it a lot longer

than it ought to be, which is kind of unfortunate,

but after I beat this dungeon,

everything that I've already done is gonna fix itself,

so I just have to make it through this, which hopefully...

I'm a little unfamiliar with it

'cause this is not exactly what I practice,

but it should be fun. (chuckles)

Plus, Fire Temple is actually a pretty cool dungeon.

I like it.

It's very technical.

And you'll get to see some cool tricks

you otherwise would not be able to see.

But first, we gotta talk to Darunia again.

He's just always getting in the way.

Okay.

Something also kind of small I never talked about.

Hover boots and iron boots,

you can put them on really fast in this game.

On the original game, you would just have to

pause the game, go into the menu,

put them on, you know.

It was really slow and really bad,

especially in the Water Temple

where you had to put on iron boots a lot,

but here it's...

They added it as an equippable item,

and that's actually really good.

If you were watching earlier and you saw me

do that trick where, I called it a hookshot jump,

where you go really high up with the hookshot.

That actually utilizes the fact

that when you put on the boots from the item,

you do this cool little hoppy thing.

I don't know, it's like this cute little animation.

But the fact that the animation happens

cancels the animation of the hookshot,

and so it just sends you like really high.

I don't know.

That animation, most of the time, is kind of slow,

so I will usually do things to skip it.

And by that, if you put on the hover boots

the same frame you do something else

like rolling, opening doors,

talking to an MPC, you skip the animation,

so all over the place I'm using that

and you probably don't even notice it.

It's little optimizations like that

that really separate some of the best runners

from all the other ones.

Okay, so I'm gonna grab some keys here

so that I can move forward.

Oh, don't hit me.

Fire Temple is kind of tricky

'cause there's a lot of things

that want to hurt you,

and at this point of the run,

we obviously don't have too much health,

so as far as health management goes,

this dungeon's a little bit scary.

It's not the worst thing ever,

but you definitely have to be pretty careful

especially in the later parts of the dungeon

where things get a little crazier.

But at the beginning, it's pretty normal

as far as what was intended.

Okay.

There's actually a glitch

that lets you skip one of these keys,

but it requires Din's Fire,

and I don't have Din's Fire,

so I can just run through and grab the keys.

They don't take that long.

It saves about 30 seconds to do the skip,

so it's not a huge deal.

Obviously, not worth going to go get Din's Fire

just to save like 30 seconds there.

Okay.

Woo, I love that.

That looks so cool.

Okay.

This next room is,

I'd say it's probably the scariest room in the dungeon.

It's not that bad, but there's a couple tricks.

They look pretty cool when you do 'em right.

Okay, so first off, there's a block here.

Normally, you'd push it, but I'm gonna do a trick

to skip it called a megajump.

Okay.

Nice. All right.

So right here, I'm using the home menu

to pick out individual frames

so that I can do frame perfect tricks.

That trick actually has a two-frame window,

but it's technically frame perfect.

Oh, and also, I'm...

Whoa.

Ah.

That there, it's called a ledge clip.

If you target a wall at the same frame

that you grab a ledge,
you actually clip through it.

And I use a bomb to get down here,

which skips probably about two minutes of the dungeon.

That trick right there, actually,
there was an old method to do it,

and it was...

- It was really bad.

- It was something.

I guess you could say that.

It was awful.

I don't even wanna begin to explain it.

It was probably the hardest thing in the run

back in the day, but then ledge clipping was found.

Like how long ago was that?

That was like two years ago or something.

I don't know how that trick took so long to find.

That was something that should've
been found like years ago.

Gonna grab this heart just for safety.

Er, or I'm not gonna grab it, I don't know.

(audience laughs)

That's fine, you know.

Okay.

All right, so this room has a big fire maze.

What I can do here is, there's two different ways.

I'm gonna go for the fast one, in which,

if you do a really fast test, you can...

All right, I missed it.

I'll go for the slow one then.

What's this guy doing?

All right, so I'm gonna...

Nope, get out of my way.

All right, so there's that fire wall there.

Normally, you'd need to go around

to the other side and use a key to get past that,

but you can actually just roll past it.

It's really easy.

It only works on that one, though,

because it's angled weird on the wall.

Okay, pick up some more bombs.

Okay!

Flare Dancer is a pretty easy mini-boss.

Link's got hops.

This is another spot where power crouch stabbing

is used on N64, but we obviously can't do that.

As stated before, jump slashing suffices.

All right, if you hop on this elevator

as he's dying, you can kind of ride it up

during the cutscene of the door opening back up.

Okay.

And once we're up here,

we will get to the Megaton Hammer, which...

You need the Megaton Hammer to beat Volvagia.

There's actually a way to get
to the boss key really early

and get to the boss room, but there's no way

to kill Volvagia without the Megaton Hammer.

So it's essential that we get it.

But once we get the hammer,

it won't be long before
we're back to...

we're back to the boss room.

Promise.

Okay.

This is a little scary 'cause if we fall there,

it's kind of dumb.

Okay, so the hammer.

Yeah, so we don't end up using this item very much.

Okay.

Oh no, I fell.

Oh wait, I actually did fall.

Uh, what do I do about that?

Okay, back up. Back up. (chuckles)

That door's locked.

I got this, don't worry.

I watch ZFG fail this all the time.

(audience laughs)

I can do a megaflip here.

Okay, nice.

Wait, was that the one I needed to get over?

Yeah no, I'm good. I'm good.

I got this.

This run, this is all full of improvisations.

You're seeing all kinds of stuff

you'd never normally see.

Don't hit me. Okay.

- That Keese was a bit scary.
- Oh my goodness.

- So I'm gonna do a ledge clip here.

And then, all right, that puts me in the boss room.

(audience claps)

Okay, Volvagia's...

He's actually a pretty scary boss.

His fire tech does like four or three damage.

I don't remember. It's really devastating.

If it hits me, I'll die.

I don't wanna do that.

This is like one of the few times in the game

I actually don't wanna die.

I know, that doesn't happen very often, but...

Okay.

(ominous music)

So something interesting about Volvagia

is there's actually two Volvagias in this fight

even though, obviously, there's only one.

There's the one that flies around the room,

and then there's the one

that sticks her head out like this.

So, the reason I'm putting bombs down

is because I'm hitting the one
that flies around the room

because she still has an active hurtbox

that we can get her with.

This is kind of scary.

Okay, good.

And so, what I'm doing is I'm skipping her

flying around the room by hitting her with bombs.

Okay.

Nice, all right. Good.

There's a little bit of RNG in that fight

because if she pops out of the first hole,

you're screwed, there's nothing you can do.

You just kind of have to do whatever.

So, a little bit of a scary boss,

but luckily that's over.

Okay.

So that trick I did earlier in Forest Temple

that skipped the cutscene,

I'm gonna do it again here.

But it's gonna do something a little bit different.

Okay, so I'm gonna save in case I mess this up.

Wait for Volvagia to go away. Okay.

Gotta put away the hammer. Okay.

Please put that away.

Oh, I hit the warp.

Woops. Okay.

So I have to restart and go back to the warp.

That's why I saved.

Oh, I guess that means I need
to go get the boss key too.

Okay, so this is slightly improvised,

'cause like I said, I messed something up.

It's kind of weird. Insignificant, but...

So, I guess I have to go get the boss key now,

which will just take a minute,

and I'll have to go back to the room.

I didn't think about that.

So this is actually a trick that
you normally wouldn't see in this run.

It's called hookshot clipping.

It's really useful in the 100%,

but basically, another interesting change

that Grezzo made is that the hookshot

is just like really overpowered,

so you can just go through walls
and stuff, I don't know.

(audience claps)

So, I'll just grab the boss key

and then save warp out.

Okay.

The reason I have to save warp there

is because otherwise I'd be
completely stuck in the room.

That would be bad.

So now I'm gonna go back to the boss room.

I'm gonna do that trick again,

and hopefully this time I'll get it.

Like I said, it's not an easy trick.

I made it look really easy the first time,

but the positioning is precise,

it's a one-frame window.

You also have to pause on the
item menu at the proper timing,

and it's just kind of a brutal trick.

And you have to do a lot of 'em in the run.

It's something that definitely discourages

a lot of newer runners from playing the game

because it's really used so often,

so it's kind of bad that you have to do it,

but it does some really neat stuff.

Okay.

Good, this should work.

Okay.

Okay!

So, like I said, it's gonna work
like the Forest Temple one I did earlier,

but it's gonna do something very different.

Okay.

So this is gonna take me to Temple of Time,

but I'm watching a cutscene.

- And the medallions are on the floor.

- And the medallions are on the floor, you know.

The little details, they don't matter as much.

Don't worry about those.

So as I was saying before,

normally we wouldn't really have any use

for skipping the Door of Time a second time,

but because of what I messed up--

Wait, didn't I beat the Forest Temple?

- She's not there right now.

- Oh! Oh, I--

Haha, I need to leave.

Okay, that's something weird.

Sometimes cutscenes don't load.

Or actually, I'm in a different map entirely,

aren't I?
- Yeah, you are.

- I'm in a completely different map.

I didn't think about that.

So that's not actually the real Temple of Time.

It's like a fake one.

But the door's still open, so that's great.

Okay, so the reason I had to come back here...

It probably would've been a little bit faster

to improvise a slightly different route,

but I wanted to do this one because

it's really cool.

So this cutscene isn't one
that you see in speedruns very often,

but it's gonna do something for us that's really cool.

In Ocarina of Time 3D, they added a boss rush mode

where you can go back to Link's house

in Kokiri Forest and fight all the bosses again.

And so,

there's something really weird
about that boss rush.

And the reason I'm bringing it up

is because this song, this cutscene right here,

it's the thing that unlocks
the boss rush in Link's house.

And so basically,

when Grezzo made this game,

I guess they didn't know how

to program in loading zones or whatever,

and so they kind of just did their own thing,

and so since they added something completely new

to the game, it acts very differently

from anything else that you see
within the code of the game.

And so I'm gonna go back to Link's house right now,

now that I have the boss gauntlet unlocked.

And luckily, I have...

Oh.

Minuet of Forest.

So I'm gonna go back there and
Minuet of Forest.

So I'm gonna go back there and

I'm gonna play the boss rush,

which seems really weird,

but there's actually something very interesting

that we can do with it,
and you'll see in a minute.

It's really, really cool.

So this is a good time for donations

as I'm trekking along.

- Well, we've got plenty of donations to read.

I wanna point out that we've met the donation incentive

for Borderlands 2, the glitch exhibition.

And we're only $500 away from helping out Face McShooty.

(audience claps)
(lone audience member whoops)

You've got maybe half an hour
to get those donations in

so that we can all help Face McShooty.

We have a $300 donation from Kari.

"Hello from Final Fantasy XIV's Cactuar server.

"We're all loving AGDQ so far.

"Shout outs to decka and popple,

"and save those animals."

If we must, Kari, if we must.

- Okay, so now that I'm in here,

you can go to Link's bed

and do Relive a battle.

It's gonna open up a menu right here,

but the thing is, when you load back into the game,

if you put Farore's Wind here

using the Restricted Items glitch...

- You have no magic.

- Oh, I don't have any magic. Okay.

- Dispel the warp point.

You have a--

- Okay, yeah, dispel the warp point.

Sleep in the bed.

See, I got this. I know what I'm doing.

Whoops.

Okay, so that refiles my magic.

Incredibly convenient.

So, I'll go back into the boss rush,

and now I'll set Farore's Wind.

Again, this trick I'm doing here

where I set Farore's Wind,

it's a frame-perfect trick, and--

Oh, something else I haven't brought up,

Ocarina of Time 3D, it runs at 30 frames per second,

which is, the original Ocarina of Time

runs at 20 frames per second,

and so a frame-perfect trick

is a whole 'nother ball game in this game.

It's significantly harder.

You have way less time to do so.

Frame-perfect tricks really aren't all that difficult

in N64 Ocarina of Time.

It sounds like it.
You're like, "Wow, 1/20 of a second."

You know, that sounds like not very much time,

but the human eye is actually,

and muscle memory, is actually very much capable

of picking out a single frame.

Majora's Mask does a trick, actually,

where they have to hit the pause button

on a single frame and it's kind of dumb,

but people have gotten really good at it.

But 30 frames per second, that's...

It's a very different thing.

If you've noticed, I'm back in Forest Temple.

That may seem odd, but I'm about to do

probably one of the most insane things

that has happened in this game ever.

And it's really cool.

So I'm gonna go back to the boss room,
if I can get this trick.

Come on.

Come on!

Come on.

This is kind of finnicky. Okay.

I'm gonna go back to the boss room

and I'm gonna do that Farore's Wind trick again.

But this time, there's kind of a catch to it so...

This is really hard, by the way.

It might take me a few tries.

Okay.

All right, got the first part.

Wait, I might not be close enough.

Haha.

Sometimes that happens, I don't know.

That setup is really consistent,

but sometimes it doesn't work.

Okay.

All right, got the first part.
I might not be close enough again.

All right good.

So now I have one have frame

to return Farore's Wind,

so hopefully I can get this frame.

One, two, three, four, five.

I need to buffer one frame.

Oh my! Yes.

- Nice.

- Oh my goodness, that feels so good.

(audience clapping)

Woo!

Okay, so before this run,

I was practicing that trick for like three hours

and I was not getting very good consistency.

I was so nervous about doing that.

So you're probably wondering
what's going on right now.

And it's good because I have a lot of time

to explain what's going on.

Link is gonna fall out of bounds 14 times.
He's gonna void out.

Now, you're probably wondering, why 14?

What happened was is I just wrong warped

into the title screen, so...

(audience laughing)

Let me try and wrap your head around this.

You know that opening cinematic?

You know that really iconic one,

where it's like the song plays,

and Link rides by on Epona,

and it's like the first time you booted up

the game as a kid, you're like,

"Wow, this is so cool."

Well, we're in that right now, we're playing--

Oh, I jump slashed. Whoops. (chuckles)

we're playing in that right now,

and there's something really interesting

about this state of game.

So, you know how you have like the file select?

There's file one, there's file two,

there's file three, okay.

Well, there's actually another file in the game,

completely already made up.

It's called the debug file,

and that's what the cutscene during the title screen

is playing, it's playing this debug file.

Now, this debug file has all of the items.

It has 14 hearts, it has all the medallions,

and it's just weird, so now I have
every single item in the game,

and I have eight keys in every single dungeon,

I have all of the boss keys, I have all the maps.

It's just crazy, okay?

So the reason I need to fall so many times

is because having 14 hearts is really great,

but I need to die here because I can't pause the game

with the Start or Select button.

I have to wait until I die,

and then I can do something
called zombie walking, where...

Basically, when you're dead
and you spawn out of bounds,

you can roll and side hop and backflip,

and so I'm gonna do that.

There's some water in front of me.

This is the last one, by the way.

There's some water in front of me.

I'm gonna roll into the water.

When I hit the water, I'm gonna die.

I'm gonna save the game,

and then I will have saved the debug file

onto the first file.

A little confusing, I know,

but it's pretty cool.

So this was actually found by TheWayfaringFox,

who's sittin' right behind me on the couch.

I don't know how he comes up with this stuff.

(audience claps)

Hey look, we were just there!

So as you can see, my file
looks pretty weird right now.

Okay.

So now we're gonna beat the rest of the dungeons

now that we have all the items.

(audience laughs)

Wow, I am so glad that that trick happened first try.

That is definitely one of the hardest things

to happen in this game.

And I've talked about the
home buffering method right there,

but I didn't really get into the severity of it.

Home buffering's really bad in this game.

I only do it because it gives you a marginal chance

of basically saving frame-perfect tricks.

Right there, when I did the trick,

I was one frame early,

and basically when you're one frame early

and you have to buffer a one-frame input,
it's almost impossible.

It rarely ever happens, but I managed to do it.

I managed to save it somehow
by the grace of God.

Something else I should mention there:

all of the cutscenes that
I had previously watched are back,

that's why the Moblin cutscene played there again.

But also, the Minuet of Forest was back again,

but I actually skipped the cutscene

because playing the Minuet of Forest

skips the Minuet of Forest cutscene by chance.

That's because when you load into the area,

the warp song, like the cutscene of you

floating in on the particles or whatever,

it somehow takes priority,
and so the cutscene tries to play,

but it gets shut down.

Okay, so as you could see,
I have a ton of items now.

It makes the latter dungeons way easier.

Okay, so remember how I accidentally gave you...

You probably don't, but if you do,

I gave you a little spoiler early on in the run

that we're gonna be doing Deku Tree as adult.

And that's what's about to happen.

I also set Farore's Wind in Lost Woods.

Just like setting Farore's Wind in Temple of Time,

seems a little weird, but it has its reasons.

Okay, so this is another frame-perfect trick.

It's actually two frames, but it's frame perfect.

Hard to explain, but there's different ways

you can buffer inputs to make
some two-frame tricks one frame.

That's called a hover slide.

It lets you cover really big distances.

Normally, I'm not able to walk here,

but since I do, I can jump over
the loading trigger for the Deku Tree.

And so, because of that, his mouth is usually closed,

but it's just nonexistent when the area's unloaded,

so you can just backwalk in.

(audience clapping)

This is also a longer dungeon.

Let's count how many rooms it is.

(audience laughs)

Okay, that was one.

And this is two.

(audience laughing)

I thought we had enough falling.

And we're in the boss.

(audience clapping)

I feel so bad for Link.

That's gotta be horrifying.

Okay, Aaron told me not to fail this,

so I better not fail this.

Basically, Deku Nuts don't stun Gohma for very long

so I don't have much time.

Okay, good.

(audience clapping)

That's really not hard,

but I managed to mess it up a lot. (chuckles)

Okay.

Hey look, another blue warp.
Guess what we're gonna do.

(audience laughing)

Okay.

Oh, I missed it. All right.

That sucks.

I did save, right?

- Yeah, you did good.
- Okay. (exclaims in relief)

(audience laughing)

Sometimes I forget.

That only wastes about a minute,

and plus, we get to see Link fall some more.

Poor guy.

So we gotta make our way back to the boss room

and do that again.

Again, this trick is really hard.

Just to give you the scope of how difficult it is,

the position in which you stand

is pretty not lenient because

you need to be right on the edge of the warp

when you side hop, and other than that,

pausing for the item menu is not too precise,

but it's definitely not trivial.

And then the actual glitch is frame-perfect,

so you know.

It's by no means a free trick.

This is very difficult.

All right, let's go for it again.

All right.

If I'm close enough, this will work.

I'm not close enough, okay.

If I'm close enough, this will work.

I should be close enough this time.

Okay, good.

All right.

Just like the Fire Temple warp,

this one's gonna do something pretty weird.

It's gonna take us to the Desert Colossus.

So now we're here.

Guess which dungeon we're gonna be doing next.

- Water!

I heard Water. That's not right.

(audience laughs)

You need to go back and play this game

'cause this is not the Water Temple.

Next dungeon we're gonna do is Spirit Temple.

And well, we already have a pretty good start.

You know, we're at the Silver Gauntlet so...

I mean, (chuckles) it's funny because...

I was talking about earlier,

about how we have to get the Goron bracelet

and how there's no way to skip it.

When you wrong warp into the debug file

it gives you the Goron bracelet,

which is this huge slap in the face.

I hate it so much.

So we could pick up the silver gauntlets,

but there's no reason to pick them up

because we don't need them.

So what we're gonna do is...

They made this collision really weird on 3D.

I don't know why.

So we can just do this.

And hey,

now we're on the other side of the dungeon.

We don't need the Mirror Shield chest

because we already have the Mirror Shield

from the debug file.

Okay.

So, I'm pretty low on health right now.

I actually don't want to pick up too many hearts here

because if I do,

I have a lot of hearts right now,

and later on in the run,

I'm gonna wanna kill myself again

because, you know,

that's kind of how this game works.

- What would happen if you were
to get the Mirror Shield chest again?

- You would just have the Mirror Shield again.

It's actually funny.

When you open up those really big chests

that you already have items to,

Link kind of just kicks them open
and it looks really weird.

He's just casually like, "Yeah, I'm just gonna kick this chest open."

Normally, there's that big cinematic like

♪ Doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo

but instead it's just like,
"Eh, I already have this."

(audience laughs)

Something else, I mentioned it earlier,

but I have eight keys in the dungeon

so instead of going to get a key a couple rooms ago

I just used one of the keys I already had.

And even though I have the boss key,

that's really boring, so I'm just gonna do this.

This height's a little bit sketchy.

This should work. Okay, good.

That was a little low, my height there.

- Yeah, that was pretty close.

(audience claps)

Very nice.

- Hookshot jumping is just one of those tricks

that's like...

Wow.

I honestly, don't really know. (laughs)

It's just so weird.

It's really good, though.

It's funny, there's actually this huge debate

about what the name of that trick is called, and--
It's funny, there's actually this huge debate

about what the name of that trick is called, and--

- It's a hookshot jump.

That's the end of that.
- You heard it from me:

it is a hookshot jump

and it goes by no other name.

- Doomjump?

- Especially not doomjump, don't say that word.

(guys chuckling)
Don't say that word.

Okay, so Nabooru.

This boss is pretty standard.

You really don't wanna get hit here

because she does four hearts of damage,

and that is enough to kill me at point,

so you kind of have to keep your distance.

This boss is made a little trickier by the fact

that power crouch stabbing no longer works.

Also, her axe hitbox is a lot better

than it is on N64, in which you can kind of

just stand at her waist and crouch stab her,

and she'll just like...

She won't hit you, she'll clear your head.

But in this game, it's not that easy,

so we have to be a little more careful.

This is a good time for donations
'cause we got a lot of cutscenes.

I know I haven't given you much time so go for it.

- That's okay. It's interesting to listen to you.

But we have a couple of donations

specifically for you.
- For me?

- One says Ms. Jackson, $50.

"All these improvs are such a treat.

"Thank you benstephens56 for an awesome run

"and awesome commentary.

"This is why I watch AGDQ."

- Thank you.

(audience claps)

- And FTazeo donated $30, just saying,

"Wow, I never thought that Ocarina of Time 3D

"might actually be more broken than the original."

- Told you.
- Yeah, who knew.

We got $100 from Anonymous saying simply,

"For the Milkman."

That's a reference to an upcoming donation incentive

to watch the Milkman cutscene in Psychonauts.

That one's up to about $3,000 out of $5,000

so keep those donations coming in.

We can watch the wonderful,
watch the Milkman cutscene.

BlacksheepVidya donated $50 saying,

"Love me some Zelda, love me some speedruns,

"hate me some cancer.

"Had to make a donation during

"the Ocarina of Time run.

"Good luck to all the runners this week."

- Okay, Twinrova is

a bad boss because it's pretty much all luck

whether it's good or not.
a bad boss because it's pretty much all luck

whether it's good or not.

It's pretty random when they shoot at you,

so sometimes they'll take a really long time.

Like right now, they're just flying around, but...

Okay, there we go.

Okay, she's in a good spot right now.

There's a random chance that
she'll shoot right away again.

Nope, she didn't do it.

Okay, if they hover one of those floating platforms

in the room, there's a good chance

that they'll fire a second time.

That's what we call a les double.

Shout outs to Marco.

Les double!

All right...

Hopefully, okay.

So once she transforms in
the second half of this run,

there's actually a really cool strat we can do.

It's kind of weird.

Hopefully I don't mess it up.

Also, that was really close.

I should mention that all of these attacks

also will kill me if they hit me.

It's not a very difficult boss,

but that was way too close right there,

so I should probably pay better attention.

It's also worth noting that you can stun these guys

by shooting the hookshot at them.

And so you can kind of keep track of them

by doing that.

Okay, so since power crouch stabbing
no longer works in this game,

normally if you have the Master Sword,

you would have to two-cycle this phase of the boss,

but the debug file actually gave us the Giant's Knife.

Not the Biggoron Sword, but the Giant's Knife.

So that gives us three jump slashes

that we're able to use.

But the thing is, if we get too close to Twinrova

while we're jump slashing, uh...

Actually, what do I want for items?

Okay, you, you, and...

I need one more. You, okay.

Okay.

We have to do this weird thing

where we put on the hover boots

and kind of back away after every jump slash.

And it's so perfect because she takes

three jump slashes to kill.

(audience claps)

She takes three jump slashes to kill

and you only have three jump slashes
She takes three jump slashes to kill

and you only have three jump slashes

before the sword breaks, so it works out so well.

It saves about 40 seconds, I think.

I don't know.

Shout outs to my anus?

I don't know.

Yeah, that's...

It sounds like they're saying that, I don't know.

It's a big Ocarina of Time meme.

There it is.

(audience chuckling)

You'd think since there's
another blue warp coming up,

I'd, you know, do that trick again,

but actually, since I have all
of the medallions right now,

the blue warp here, it's not gonna play a cutscene

when I enter it, so I don't have to do

any of those really dumb frame-perfect,

persistent, precise tricks.

I can just walk right into the blue warp

and continue onward, which is really nice.

I don't wanna have to

do that trick again 'cause it's not easy.

I actually just went to go split there.

I'm like, "Where's my keyboard?"

(audience chuckles)
Where is it?!

Okay, so now we're gonna move on to the Water Temple.

We have two more dungeons to go.

We have Water Temple and we have...

Well, and we have the Shadow Temple.

And we already have all of the warp songs, too.

I didn't mention that, so we have Serenade of Water.

We could just warp straight to the Water Temple.

And we also have iron boots

so we can just enter the Water Temple like normally,

which doesn't happen very often.

- So whenever you play any warp song,

does that cancel its cutscene?

- It would, but Minuet of Forest

is the only one where the cutscene starts

in the area that you warp to, right?

So, there's all different kinds
of cutscenes in this game.

Let's say the Bolero of Fire was just...

The cutscene trigger for it was just
anywhere in that map, right?

Then it would work.

But the Bolero of Fire isn't where you warp into,

it's just kind of by that bridge.

Oh wow.

Hey.

That's a hammer slide.

It's the same thing as a hover boost.

Basically, if you get a lot of speed

and you put on hover boots, you go really fast.

You just conserve momentum so well.

And yeah, I have the boss key
already from the debug file,

so I can just enter the boss room.

That's the Water Temple.

(audience clapping)

Morpha is...

No one should ever die to Morpha.

And...

you know who you are.

(audience laughing)

I brought you up enough in this run.

But yeah, Morpha's a pretty easy boss.

You can kind of just get her into the corner

and go away at her.

- Again with the friend attack.
- It, it, it!

- Again.

- You gotta stop calling me out on these,

you're making me look bad.

All right, I need the Master Sword again

'cause the broken Giant's Knife
is kind of pointless to us.

I thought I'd get the fast one there.

Okay.

Morpha's hitbox is a lot bigger in this game.

She's actually kind of hard to hit on N64,

but it's kind of easier.

All right, one, two, three, four,

five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten,

jump slash, dead.

Okay.
(audience clapping)

Again, pretty easy.

- Does the debug file have just
the hookshot or the longshot?

- It only has the hookshot actually,

which is kind of weird.

There's this other category...

Basically, the thing I'm really good at in this game

is I love 100%, that's like my favorite thing,

and there's this new category

that kind of sprung up called Glitched 100%.

And the definition for 100% is you have to get

all of the items from where you're normally

supposed to get them from, but Glitched 100%,

you can get them any way possible

as long as you fill the inventory.

And in Glitched 100%, we go to the debug file,

so the only item we actually have to get

is the longshot or something,

as far as collectibles go.

Nice! All right, this should work.

Okay, so that is probably the last thing

in this run that can actually screw me over

so that's really nice to know that I got that.

Okay, there's the Water Temple.

(audience clapping)

Again, that trick is not easy.

That's really hard, so I'm glad

I didn't really mess 'em up too much in this run,

but that's the last one of those we're gonna be doing.

Is it night time?

Yes, it is so I have to kill
this Skulltula thing.

Okay.

So we've already beaten the Deku Tree

but we're gonna go back

because we wanna make Link fall
and suffer some more

'cause we're horrible people.

So we're just gonna do
the exact same thing we did earlier.

Okay, nice. So this is the first frame.

What I was talking about earlier about, there's...

Oh wow. Okay, I kind of messed that up.

What I was talking about earlier

when I said it's a frame-perfect trick

but it's actually two frames,

it's because you can use the touch screen

to use items, so instead of hitting the Y button,

I can just use the touch screen to do it.

Oh, got hit.

That actually delays the action in the item one frame,

and so if you're a frame early,

you can do that to make one frame tricks two frames.

Okay, this works.

Woo.

Okay, so now we're gonna go
back inside the Deku Tree.

And we're pretty much just gonna do
the exact same thing we did earlier

where we get out of bounds,
make Link fall a bunch.

Oh okay, I thought I fell there.

Whoops.

Where the door to the Deku Tree is,
there's like a little gap.

Okay, wee!

Okay.

This hookshot jump is kind of tricky.

Sometimes it doesn't work too well.

Okay, that wasn't too bad.

The first two were really good,
I got 'em really fast.

This one's a little, took me a little bit longer.

Wow, I was worried I wasn't
gonna hit the loading zone there.

Funny thing about loading zones in this game

is they actually extend infinitely upwards,

so as long as you're above a loading zone,

you'll hit it as long as there's not
something else about the loading zone.

Oh wait, why am I saving? What am I doing?

Okay.

Like I said before,

as I said in the beginning of the run,

Farore's Wind is so broken.

It's really, really good.

So I'm gonna put Farore's Wind
in the Deku Tree boss room

and we're gonna do something cool with it again.

We did something earlier in the run

where we did what was known
as a Death Hole Wrong Warp,

and here we're gonna do the same thing.

Oh, the Cucco hatched.

I didn't know I had that.

Okay, I'm gonna kill this Guay,
'cause he can get in my way.

Okay, we're gonna move this grave,

and there's actually a grotto right here.

Okay.

Once again, I'm gonna do Death Hole Wrong Warping,

which, as I said before, it tries to load the grotto

and the title screen at the exact same time,

and that puts us in play on the title screen

on the file that we're using.

And so, we can use Farore's wind in here

and...

Well, we only have one dungeon left to beat so...

It takes us to Shadow Temple.

(audience laughs)

And yeah, we're just gonna beat the dungeon.

I said it before, but it's really important here.

I can only use the items that I have

on my X and Y buttons, and currently,

those are bombs and Farore's Wind.

And I can also use my sword,

so we're gonna have to fight Bongo

using just bombs, Farore's Wind, and my sword.

And it's a little scary

because I only have three hearts right now,

and some of his attacks definitely
do more than three hearts,

so I have to be very careful right now.

Oh wow, that was close.

That is definitely his scariest attack.

I don't like when he does that one.

Okay.

Oh, I missed. All right.

So if you attack him with just the right timing,

you can actually prevent him from getting up.

I messed it up there, so hopefully
he doesn't give me scary attacks again.

Oh wow, nice.

He's giving me scary attacks, dude.

Please.

Okay.
- Nice.

- Woo. Glad that's over.

(audience clapping)

Okay, so now all that we have left to do

is to beat the game.

Yeah.

You'll see, don't worry.

Okay.

So probably running a bit more behind on time

than I would have liked because of the route mistake

I made a bit early in the run.

I think I made up for it about as best as I could

and still showing off how cool this route is.

Honestly, besides that routing error

this has been really good.

So it's probably closer to estimate

than I would have liked, but yeah.

It's probably cutting close.

So now I'm in Forest Temple, you know,

just, Link gets around.

So I'm doing a frame-perfect glitch, got the frame.

It's called Ocarina Items.

Basically, if you use an item

like Farore's Wind, Din's Fire,

a bottled item, on a certain frame

that a bomb explodes while in your hand,

you can pull out the Ocarina.

And I played Nocturne of Shadow

and now I'm at the end of the game, so that's great.

(audience laughs)
Woo!

So yeah, there's Zelda.

Hey, where you been? (chuckles)
Long time no see.

Actually, I've never seen you
except for the beginning of the game.

I don't know how she got here,
but, you know, whatever.

And that's pretty much just really, really convenient

that Nocturne of Shadow just happens

to take you to this exact spot.

I was talking when I did the Door of Time Skip

on how the cutscene of the Temple of Time

canceled Death Hole glitch.

Well, that's the exact same thing
that happens with the Nocturne of Shadow.

When you play the song, it actually cancels

the Death Hole Wrong Warp glitch,

and so when we enter that loading zone,

it takes us exactly where we're supposed to go,

which like, it's like a miracle that it works out.

It's so convenient, it's crazy.

So, it's just so cool that it works.

Yeah, other than that,

that's pretty much been Ocarina of Time 3D.

This game is so crazy.

We have one more glitch to do, though.

Basically, Ganon, he knocks the Master Sword

out of Link's hand, but we can actually prevent that.

On N64, it's done with a super slide,

but there's another way to do it.

We're gonna interrupt Link's animation

of getting the sword knocked out of his hand

by using Din's Fire as soon as we enter the cutscene

of Ganon clearing the rubble.

It's kind of precise, hopefully I get it.

It's kind of funny when you do get it

'cause Link kind of stand there like,

"Dude, I don't care.

"Wassup? Come at me, brah."

So, hopefully I get it,

but it saves about...

probably 40 to 30 seconds

because the Master Sword is the only item
probably 40 to 30 seconds

because the Master Sword is the only item

that does the amount of damage

that it's supposed to do on Ganon.

Every other item does one damage,

while Master Sword still keeps
its original damage values.

Okay, so gonna line up here.

Nice, got it!
- Nice.

(audience claps)

- So this cutscene's gonna look a little weird

'cause Link's just...

Just look at Link's face here
when he gets the Master Sword

knocked out of his hand.

He's just like, "Dude, I don't care.

"I have died like five times this run.

"I've been warped all over the place.

"You got nothing on me."

(all laughing)

It's so good, I love that.

It's worth mentioning that I also

picked up the heart container after Bongo Bongo

because otherwise, I wouldn't have much health here.

Yeah. (laughs)

so, although the Master Sword

totally got knocked out of my hand right there,

you all saw it, I'm sure,

I somehow still have it.

And so I can do the exact amount of damage

I'm supposed to do on Ganon.

So, he's a really easy boss.

Nice.

So normally, that first phase would take

10 hits of any other item,

but you only have to do three with Master Sword.

Oh look, that's a really cool sword.

Where'd you get it?
(audience laughing)

I got one just like it.

All right, so now all I have to do

is hit Ganon five more times
and deal the final blow.

What?

Wasn't that five?

Am I off on the counting again?

- That was only four.

- That was only four?!
Oh my goodness.

Okay.

Getting ready on time.

Cool.

All right, all I gotta do is land the final blow.

Okay, time!

(audience cheering and clapping)

Woo!

And that, ladies and gentlemen,

is the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D.
