6:17:26 RTA

Cant wait ;D

Good luck :)

I updated the route for cycle 2 in the first post. Main changes are fixed rupee route and moving around the c buttons to suit how i play on VC, because I'm going to do the run on VC.

So yeah.. this run will be beast

Good luck! Can't wait to see how it turns out. Sadly single-segment 100%'s are a rarity in the N64 Zelda games due to the length.

The route is actually complete, I'm just really lazy typing it.

Expect a run soon after 4 weeks from now, I just need school to finish before I record this.

Really glad that this is getting support btw

I can't wait for this run. As soon as I'm decent at MM I'd like to start working toward a 100% run as well. You've inspired me kaztalek.

yo i got a 6:51 (vid in first post)

improvements to be made in the future

good job broski

Very Nice Run So Far! I've Watched The First Part And Looks Good. Some Minor Slips But I Doesnt Matter! Not Like Its A TAS :P

Watching through the run. I think it's very good. Some questions: I see you haven't given title deeds to the scrubs with their nearby heartpieces. So going through all title deeds aren't required? And you dupe a bottle over a deku nut, so you have 7 bottles at the end of the run? That seems strange to me, is that legit?
Also, you don't use up the razor sword, that is most impressive. Have you carefully counted used sword strikes, or were you relying much on luck?

1) 100% consists of everything that doesn't disappear with song of time. Title deeds are trade quest items, they aren't needed as they never get saved. So as long as I get the respective heart pieces I can skip title deeds.
2) I end with 6 bottles at the end of the run, as it is necessary to have a deku nut slot at the end for it to be true 100%. I just pick up a deku nut at the very end to solve this.
3) You get 100 slashes with razor sword, and they only count when they hit something. Spin attacks also don't decrease the amount. So I have plenty of hits to use before it breaks, more than I need.

The run you're watching is a bit obsolete, I'm planning on demolishing it today and uploading in high quality, if you want to watch that instead :).

Where is your new run? And is that too single-segment, personally I say segmented would suit a speedrun of this format. Anyway it's a good route, and of the matter of explosives, and such, the route may need to be flexible. Because you will have some inaccuracies to cope with over time, i would think.

just updated the first post with it

I have watched the whole run, it was throughly good. Some  comments: You fail to get town archery HP at first try which seems to cause that, you overwrite 33 rupees when collecting the knife chamber chest. And why don't you LA the sun block on the way into Ikane Castle to get elegy? Also you don't win at first try at the dog race.
It was an enjoyable run, hope to see it on the MM page here and at SDA.
Congratulations with WR :)

Failing town archery was a mistake, yes.
To Ikana castle, climbing over is faster than killing the block and watching the intro cutscene. However I took the risk of the frame precise goron bomb jump over and it didn't work too well, lol.
Dog race is pure luck; I'm really glad it didn't take more than 2 tries.

Thanks for watching and enjoying ;)

Now that it's done, are you planning to submit it to SDA, Kaztalek? If so, that'd be awesome not only because it looks to be an awesome run to watch (Youtube is slow), but downloading from SDA will be easier (RealPlayer download is slow, too).

All I need now is enough energy to sit straight through the 6-hour+ video! Can't wait!

no

The longer the run, the more mistakes happen, but that is also very entertaining.
Good job Kaztalek  ;)

Ah. Well, it was an awesome run anyway. It looked very well executed and, overall, was enjoyable to watch!

New record, 6:06:26 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-TgXz2A79Y&list=PL25885851B0042576&index=1&feature=plpp_video)

I used a slightly improved route, mainly for cycle 2 http://pastebin.com/2d12y8LA .  The real changes are just from bow to the end of cycle 2 and snowhead.  Pretty much all the rest is just keeta's route (with the exception of delaying the deku palace HP until after depositing the deku princess).  Some bomb/chu counts and pauses may be off because I'm lazy, but the important chu counts and rupees should all be correct.

Congratulations with this world record Zelda Freak Glitcher ;D
Good job
Is the playlist on Youtube the only available video of this run?

I'm gonna watch this run ZFG. I've watched Kaztalek's a few weeks ago and loved it :)

As a lurker, can I ask why you guys aren't submitting to SDA and why there's a 6:55 run there from '05?
Cheers and thanks for making this, it is good entertainment for any fans of the game

People here won't submit anything to SDA unless there's no chance of it ever being beaten without a huge new break. lol

I actually can't submit it to SDA since I didn't have a recording of the run itself and I can't submit a stream recording.  I didn't bother recording it since I wasn't really expecting something that good and my DVD recorder can only barely record over 6 hours and I didn't think it would be able to get the entire run.  I do plan on coming back to this later and trying to get a sub 6 hour run, and at that point I'd probably submit to SDA.

It's also on my twitch channel (http://www.twitch.tv/zfg1) but the recording is exactly the same so you might as well watch it on youtube.

Keep in mind that it takes a lot of time for a completed run to go through the verification and publication process at SDA. Last I heard it took something like 2-3 months.

Depends how popular the game that needs to be verified is, I bet publication would be the only part that would take a while for a MM/OoT run.
