Hahaha comment of the day man

[@SeveredLegs]

haha I love that. Like, this big quest when we were kids. And then with a fresh start, Lack fucking slaughters everything in his path and in a half hour, it's like ....."Oh, everything's totally fine, cool. I barely had time to get worked up over the demon lord that was gonna kill us all. And ......whew, thanks Link."

[@yessopie]

@@SeveredLegs I like to imagine Ganon watching Link's progress, his evil grin slowly blending into horror.

[@SeveredLegs]

@@yessopie yueah like he just assembled this empire, and everything is completely under his control except for one dude and a random townspeople that are literally enclosed in rock. And some of those people have some cool stuff that the one random guy could technically use to try and get revenge, but that's only if he manages to blow up the right rock formations and let these people out. I wonder at which point Ganon starts to worry.

[@Courtj3st3r33]

Just dug my NES out of storage during quarantine to show my 4yr old some old school gaming. After dying a lot in Zelda I figured I'd come here and feel even worse about my life. 😂

[@Desi365]

@@omargt738 you guys make me feel good, after all.

[@mitchelvalentino1569]

Awesome! I was never more excited to beat a game than I was with The Legend of Zelda. I remember seeing the gold cartridge at the toy store. I had to have it. I had to beat it. Took me months, though! And with very sore thumbs. Haha. Watching your speedrun brought back many fond memories. Thank you and congratulations!

[@cg0825]

About 8 months of my life and remember there was no internet then so a lot harder--had to figure it out and ask your friends--and just bomb and burn stuff hoping a secret passage would open

[@Conigs05]

Lack!!! Yes! Congrats man. I could never thank you enough for the hours and hours of entertainment that you provide. #dedication

[@monohydrate2]

You made the impossible possible. Thank you for showing the world what hard work, determination and a little luck can do.

[@MaddawgMar]

Fantastic, owning every record in LOZ!!! That is unparalleled!!! Awesome job.

[@forthebirds4]

@StillShadows1987 Yet here you are watching and commenting idiotic shit on it, clearly projecting your issues onto the youtube comments section of a guy who achieved something you can not. Babes & Board Games yeah dude the moon landing wasn't faked, get outta here with that bs.

[@forthebirds4]

@StillShadows1987 Like I said, projecting your issues. It might not be an achievement you deem worthy, but that's on you. One of the biggest guys in the Mario streaming community is also a working scientist with a PhD and most are normal well adjusted gainfully employed people. Maybe it's you that have a problem with people enjoying the competitiveness of setting records on old video games you sucked at.

[@LackAttack]

Why are you so mad? I have a wife, daughter, a real job, raised money for charity and I bought a house with money I made from playing this "stupid game". I'm good with my choices. Thanks for stopping by.

[@KouriRyu]

@StillShadows1987 How is this any different than newscasters, football players, the ceaseless ocean of bureaucracy and administration? You speak of aspirations, real jobs, and contributing things to society. Tells us all of your accolades. Tell us of all the nobel prizes you've won. Tell us of your doctorate. Tell us about the books you've written and all the people you entertain. Oh wait... You're a nobody sitting there at your computer thinking you're better than another person because you're outraged. I'm curious though... Are you more angry at him having more subscribers than your 11, the fact that his videos have thousands more views and likes, or the fact that his videos have any positive feedback at all while yours have literally nothing?

[@bennybooboo6789]

@StillShadows1987 Do you have a problem with guys who do powerlifting for a living? Or bodybuilding? Any sport? Any hobby that you deem NOT a real job? Because people make money off near on everything you hate. If you weren't able to read his post properly, he HAS a job. This is something he does on the side. And if he makes as much or more from this as he does in his full time job then props to him. Don't sit there and act like you would turn down the chance to rake in an extra 50k a year to do what you do as a hobby outside of work.

[@fuzzyfishnutz4838]

Killer run. You really hit your stride around level 6. Very smooth and efficient. Lots of fond memories of this game as a kid. Thanks for showing us all how it’s done. Thanks for keeping the vids clean and exciting. Enjoy fatherhood-it’s a blast watching these tiny kids grow up every day. Great work!

I’m curious how clean they could pull this off on the actual NES Console and controller . Emulation is way smoother

[@davidlitzmedia1682]

I remember getting this as a kid the day it came out. Me and my brothers played it every day till we beat it. Great memories. Cool video. Thanks 😎

[@fruityplum195]

At the beginning when he glitched through the wall to dungeon three, a glitch I literally knew about, it still caught me so off-guard, and I was like, "Pardon me???"

[@exceleratorjoshua]

I had no clue all these tricks/glitches existed. This is amazing

[@danhallas3546]

Damn dude!?! I remember when I first started watching you and you were just breaking into the 29 min range now you’re under 28 that’s awesome dude!!?! Keep up the good work let’s see you hit 26’s. If I could do the screen warping consistently I’d actually try running this game but I can only get it once every 10 try’s or so lol (you make it look so easy when you do it)

[@chrisfayte8482]

I enjoyed watching this. Congratz

To think that clip from raft spot lvl 4, over to the meat and arrow shop, made the big difference, and not having to get bombs from triple dodongo room in 7. That 9 was a bit rough but 3 pbs in 2 days, you wanted that wr BAAAADLY!

It wasn't until I watched this that I realized that Ganon's nose weren't his eyes.

[@thethrashyone]

I learned something today: Zelda's sprite always matches Link's in color. Never knew that since I've never beaten the game without the Red Ring, so I just assumed she always had a red dress.

Beat up a game? Yeah, you sure did a good number on it. That game is in the hospital now, hope you're happy. A monster is you. But seriously now, well done.

[@Kariudosan]

@Klack Koaster Yes, I'm aware of that. What I did in the very next part of my comment is called "a play on words", one variety of which is interpreting a phrase in a way that was not originally intended. You see, one meaning of "beat up" is slang for when somebody is injured in a fight (think school bullies or the mafia injuring someone for a late payment).

[@whateverdcal6521]

There are runs where Lack has doubt all the way through the run, and doesn't hit it until the end. Yet this run he openly recognizes the parts where he could get an advantage, and he does.

How many times do you think you've played this game ?

[@Itwaswritten777]

My Best run is 47 Minutes 39 Seconds, I have a Lot of work in Improving my Time! My Goal is under 40 Minutes personally!

[@FFVison]

Anyone know why he blows the whistle outside the blue ring Armos? Is it to modify the counter for a later whistle blow or something?

[@LackAttack]

Exactly. That shopkeeper has a timer that runs down upon entering the screen. That same timer continues to run down while the whistle blows, so it saves time by overlapping a recorder blow with that timer

[@keisileighty]

Way to go LACK!

[@bpelectric]

Grats sir, well done

[@cjeelde]

Just a bit curious: What's the reason for using the fluit/whistle before entering the "meat shop" before Level-7?

[@LackAttack]

After warping to L4, you need to blow the whistle twice to warp to 2. So instead of doing that after level 6, you can do it when the armos is spawning by that shop since the armos timer runs down while the recorder is playing.

[@jaredfrost3548]

That's some funky glitching.@@LackAttack

[@cjeelde]

It's a bit more complicated and hard to understand than the Level 1 in-out-in to get the upper locked door to disappear :) So it's a small time saver? Cut 1/2 second or so? :) When the renovation chaos is over where I live, I gonna play Zelda 1 on my NES Mini a lot!! 😍 and try to learn as many glitches and time savers as possible. But how do I create a setup like yours so I can see my splits and have a timer? I got no PC, only Macs. They are Intel-Macs :)
