Danny Danny he's our man!

I love this content

It's also insanely lucky that we have so many wonderful and dedicated people in the OoT community that help find these glitches, create resources, plan routes, do runs, and help others out. We have actual computer scientists active around the clock looking into this 1998 video game. How many communities can say the same? 2:35 YE HEAVENS

Back in my day all of my friends considered glitches to be cheating so I just never used them, even in my speedruns.

So the enemy audio volume variable isn’t affected by the guardian laser eye guys because of enemy type? Or something else?

Really, really good video. Wow

Ive never understood the appeal. "Hey I beat this game without having to play it!!" Like, what is even the point? Vanilla 100% speedruns are cool, but the whole glitch thing seems like such a cheat that theres no value in it whatsoever unless you're super into programming and interested in the math/development aspect of it.

I really liked the way you broke down the item requirements as the any% routes followed through! This is really cool!

If Dream was an OoT speedrunner

ty for making these videos!

Great video DannyB, you are one of the OOT Legends 🩷

Love it, thanks for making these! For as popular as this game is, there is surprisingly not a lot of people covering this stuff- and boy is there SO much to cover.

To me, I think it's just a lucky game in general. It was an interesting and complex game by the time speedrunning picked up as something people were interested in watching (so more interested in participating and aware of leaderboards,) and it still had plenty of time to give for years after.

Great video, and great idea for a video. I’ve thought about how lucky some of the glitches like Gannondoor and RBA are. It was really rewarding to watch the entire timeline all layed out

It's almost criminal you have this few subs with such amazing videos even if it's a niche subject. Looking forward to the 1 hour rant :)

0:15 oof, 4 years since my last KFC% run. Time to dust off the rust and see if I can do better!

Speedruns being lucky is kinda the point, speedruns require a shit-ton of luck for things to work out in the way that gets things done as fast as possible. Even a TAS of a game requires RNGeezus to be kind of them.

And we are lucky to have such a good video to watch, cheers :-)

I remember the site N64CC. (cheat codes) OoT had by far the most exploits, even thought technically no cheat codes. I loved trying to pull them all off. I only had text and picture to go off of.

Top tier content. It deserves so much more views. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Luck so high you would never have DREAMed it possible

i knew most everything that you said in this video but the way you explained and narrated everything was very engaging. good shit danny

My best friend and I were streaming an OoT randomizer a couple years ago and I mentioned the EXACT talking points this video is about. Every glitch feels lucky to exist, interlinked, and play a perfect part, especially in randomizers!

Great concept, great video. I think I took the usefulness of a lot of the new tricks for granted when I was doing runs -- seeing it all laid out like this makes me appreciate it more. OoT runs really are something special.

Hmm not true for every game. For example true any% in hollow knight is not very popular or prestigious.

Great stuff!

The game that just keeps on giving

"How long does it take you to beat OoT?" "3.48" "Hours, right?" "..." " _right??_ "

wake up babe danny posted a new video about oot (really cool video! I had no idea for the alcove thing in the collapse sequence)

10:36 are you jamie kennedy? am I being skunked or puked or whatever, some shit?

U dont need a bean and a bomb u can hookshot up to that platform in the graveyard 😊

As someone who has been following oot speedruns since 2017 and have a passion for speedrunning history I feel incredibly lucky of living on an era of understanding of all these things because it lets us look into the past and have a better idea of what was happening and how can we get the most out of that. All this knowledegment also makes content like yours exists, and I also feel lucky enough for that.

You need to do majoras mask now, this video was amazing!!

Very good video

Easy sub. The fact you covered something like this is awesome. It was a real fun watch.

man, ground hopping and ocarina items was groundbreaking for me. still can't superslide or wrong warp, i've tried. watching that speedrun that took just under 4 minutes is mind boggling

More videos like this type 🙏

A.C.E. ftw.

How about the opposite? Things that are ALMOST glitches or glitches that are almost useful but ultimately do nothing for now.

Great video Danny showcasing everything. Great editing, great imagery, very good! Keep up the excellent work!

Awesome! Love your enthusiasm!

Amazing video as always, it's crazy seeing it laid out after experiencing it over the last 15 years. I remember back in the day watching runs and races of the pre-wrong warp route, and thinking "well this can't get any faster, what else could they even skip". I remember watching ZFG grind for the Ganondoor record, and thinking "well this can't get any faster, what else could they even skip". I remember when GIM was discovered with the tektite method and thinking "well this route sucks, but what else could they even skip". I remember when SRM was being researched and thinking "there's no way this could be executed faster than the current method, what could it even be used to skip". And now Any% is a 4 minute disaster of a category, lol. Knowing this game it'll probably end up with some insane SMB3 style 13 frame nonsense thanks to some weird left over 64DD hook interacting weirdly with save data on mario artist, lol. Can't wait for Art% in 2031!

That was the most succinct and accurate explanation of not only what speedrunning is, but the reason for the passion behind it. Outstanding introduction, well done.

crazy you only have 7k subs bro thought you would at least have 100k

I swear, I'll never shake the feeling that Nintendo knew exactly , all of these glitches, and intentionnally put all this in the game. 😅

I remember stumbling upon OoT speedruns with ZFG's stream right at the end of the Poacher's Saw + Broken Knife RBA era, only to witness the short stint of DC to credits and the Ganondoor revolution. It was such a wild time for OoT speedruns, and it was pretty lucky that this guy who taught me how to race to the Nether in Minecraft in March 2012 would go on to be the co-discoverer of Ganondoor two weeks later.

Ocarina of Time speedruns are insanely lucky because we have you in the community Danny
