A tip to improve the speedrunning a bit more, that is to enter the Level 5 boss with only 1 bomb and not to enter it with 7 (?) like you did here. The reason: when you use that last bomb on the level 5 boss, the game will automatically switch the B button item to the fluit because it's the only B button item that you can select. The bow is not possible since you got no arrow. This speedrun trick with the level 5 boss will probably save you 1-3 seconds. Or what the time it takes to select another B button item :) I've watched LackAttack a lot so I can see where you lose time. You lose pretty much in level 3 with the red darknuts. And also with the screen scrolling glitch in the overworld. Since summer of 2023 I've played Zelda 1 a bit and tried those glitches like screen scrolling and that is not easy. I can def say that you're crazy better than me and LackAttack is "unreal" at that :) LackAttack is almost like TAS at that glitch. I've seen a TAS speedrun for Zelda 1 and that is way better than WR. One main difference between TAS and human WR is that TAS takes a lot advantage of Link touching an enemy that makes Link "jump" a couple of "squares" very quick that saves time compared to walk that same distance. When doing that, the "kill enemies counter" gets resetted. We know that the 10th enemy got the bomb. I believe the 16th got the fairy, not 100% sure. It's a bit hard to remember all that :) Another thing that's very hard for me is the level 4 boss when doing the "WR route" with only 4 heart containers. You need to stab each head 8 times or so, so 16 (?) times in total and you got that green outfit so you must avoid taking damage. Anyways, you're far far better than me :) but I like to share some thoughts and tips :) So next time you play level 5, try to enter the boss' room with only 1 bomb! 2 bombs might also work, just drop those 1-2 bombs and the game will autoselect the fluit for you so you don't need to use that manual item select screen :)

Hey! I make The Legend of Zelda (NES version 8-bit) ROM hacks and would love to see you try to tackle one. They are tricky and challenging. Definitely will make you think at times. I can E-mail you one if you would be up for the challenge. I changed shops, dungeon locations, dungeon items, dungeon maps, outside world map, secrets and more. I would enjoy watching you play a blind play through it

I've played a ROM hack, but I have to double check which one. Anyways, some huge problems in that specific ROM hack: 1 - at least one dungeon is impossible to beat. I've screenshotted all rooms and tried to bomb all walls and really tried everything. I can't beat that dungeon. 2 - when entering some staircases the game freezes. Last time I played That ROM Hack was fall 2023. Have to double check that. Do you have any idea why the game freezes? I can think of these reasons: 1 - I got the wrong ROM file 2 - the ROM hack is buggy 3 - the emulator is the problem ...or a combo of at least 2 things. I got these legal copies of Zelda 1 btw: Game & Watch: Zelda 35 For 3DS: virtual console NES Classic Mini The Zelda Collector Disc (GameCube) NSO ...and I've had a NES with Zelda 1 many years ago :) I highly recomnend all gamers that wanna play ROM hacks (or Randomizer) to have legal copies of the game. Some ROM hacks that I think are extra special: 1 - Ancient Dungeon 2 - the DOOM themed Zelda 1 (is it a Zelda ROM hack or a DOOM ROM hack?) Are there any ROM hacks that got a 1st and a 2nd Quest? And maybe a 3rd Quest? I really hope that Nintendo can support the ROM hack community! Imagine a ROM hacks addition to NES on NSO 😱😱 developers can submit their hacks to Nintendo and they can take a look at each one and publish the ones that they like! That would make NSO even better!
