Majora's Mask Glitchless 100% speedrun with commentary

[@leightonpetty4817]

This time-strict mechanic makes this game so fun to watch speedruns for. I’m so used to just going straight to the Anju/Kafei conclusion and waiting patiently, meanwhile over here “Alright yeah now’s the perfect time to real quick get 14 heart containers, 39 masks, an extra 5 bottles, and a fresh pack of beer”

[@No-Me3]

I wish more speed runners did commentary like this. It's perfect.

[@WoWAlysium]

Not all speedrunners have the confidence or silky smooth voice to do voiceovers well lol, but yes, full explain runs are great to watch. It's why I originally liked watching the AGDQ runs before the organisers ruined the event.

[@Chrisuan]

@@WoWAlysium at least there's ESA lol

[@ninetailedfox579121]

No you.

[@dr_cleek]

CarcinogenSDA has a similar style for his speedrun videos of horror games, great to watch as he also has a very relaxed style of commentating

[@joe-edward]

Agreed. Your twilight princess video is also awesome for the same reasons. I am all for no commentary runs, and I watch those as well, but this is commentary done right, especially for a speed run! Great video!

I thought others would also be as good, but THIS speed run is particularly calming, not all others are.

So nice to find a speedun that isn't just a person reading donations 95% of the time

[@roosterboba7945]

I find it funny that normal 12 minute KZbin videos can never keep my attention. I’m always switching off of them but I watch this for like four hours straight yesterday and then finished it today. One of my favorite Speed runs to watch.

[@ReyRoyce69]

I often look up so glitchless runs and they never have commentary or commentary I understand so when this popped up on my home page i immediately began watching it. Ofc it’s taken me two days but amazing content and amazing commentary. Thank you so much been wanting to watch something like this for so long.

[@neptunedg1587]

This is by far the best zelda speedrun I've ever watched for any zelda game. It doesn't have to be a world record. You made a speedrun extremely entertaining and educational with comprehensive explanations as well as a chill vibe. Def earned a fan. If you have a patreon or anything let me know I'd happily support!

[@TheLinkWearsGreen]

Yeah I also would love to support you!! Majora's Mask is my favorite game of all time and this was a really entertaining/ mind blowing video

[@shaobues]

I've been using this video to sleep lately and it really helps. The nostalgiac sounds and music mixed with your relaxing talking just knocks me out instantly. I like how you aren't being super loud and talking constantly, you're only saying things you need to say when you need to say them. Thank you for this

[@idontwantahandlethough]

Right?! It's always refreshing to encounter someone who can just... let things be silent for a moment. It's nice! And tbh feeling like you constantly have to "fill space" sucks, and listening to someone do so is exhausting in itself!

[@ReddKnight10]

I do the same thing with their Twilight Princess video!

[@shaobues]

1 year later, still loving it! You are truly a blessing to my sleep.

[@Diamonddrake]

Commentary on speed runs is fantastic media. Much rather watch this than a world record where a streamer is talking about current events with chat the whole time.

[@ToasterTheTerrible]

Great commentary. I feel like most people talking over a 6 hour run they did previously would try way too hard to fill the whole thing with constant chatter. Nice to hear you explaining the necessary/interesting things and then just letting the gameplay happen.

[@amphicorp4725]

I've watched this every night to fall asleep, I still haven't finished the video ;-; It's incredible btw love the video

[@sadboiz4lyfe]

Same!!

[@MumboJ]

I actually quite like this "good speedrunner but not their pb" vibe, it feels chill and you get to see what the bonks and backups look like so it's more educational than a perfect run, but it's also way better than anything i could do and still entertaining from that perspective as well.

[@SSM24_]

A 6-hour speedrun with full commentary certainly wasn't what I expected to see in my recommended videos, but it was super fascinating all the way through. The routing was probably my favorite part - the existence of events at fixed in-game times which you have to plan around makes for quite a unique run compared to most other games. I can't tell you how many times I was like "no way dude" whenever you'd mention having to do A, B, C, X, Y, and Z before the clock hits whatever time, but then you did it and I was just like whoa. (Also aw frick now I'm getting the 6.5-hour Twilight Princess commentated run in my recommended too... guess I'll be spending a bunch more of my time on that now :D)

[@graceholbert2126]

I've watched both the Twilight Princess ones already; I wish there were more!

[@ryzae6202]

i like that you explain the game in a way that someone who hasn't played Majora's mask can still follow along comprehensively.

[@thomashz4652]

44:02 “On the way north… we’re going to bonk.” I enjoy the funny comments mixed in sporadically. Also, does anyone else find his voice oddly relaxing? Good work.

[@lauxo36]

I so appreciate being able to watch and enjoy speedrun content because it’s being explained to me. So many speed runners don’t ever do commentary and so while impressive, runs (especially of this length and longer) tend to get glossed over or skipped. Especially for me personally it looks impressive but without having any idea what’s going on or why it’s very difficult to follow. Such an underrated channel. Just watched your Twilight Princess 100% commentated in one sitting while I worked, and adored every second. Super chill vibe, great sense of humour, 11/10

[@LUEFSolutions]

Your commentary is absolutely perfect. Slowly getting through this video before bed and it is highly interesting but also your voice is calming and soothing enough to help me get to sleep. This is also I think THE most fascinating game to do a glitchless 100% speed run for. The complex interconnectivity, the sheer amount of items that all have bespoke highly variable mechanics and requirements to attain, the hard time limit, the amount of movement options available, I could go on. Fantastic work on a great and very interesting run!

[@DoctorZomboo]

This is such a great game for 100% runs, so many variables and everything is against the clock, so satisfying to see it come together like this!

[@kukensson]

Splendid narration. You're not afraid of pauses and the commentary is thoughtful and informative, and your voice is pleasant

[@MumboJ]

Not using the lens of truth and just no-scoping or blind jumping gives my nostalgic heart life. I always tried for those as a kid but i could never do most of them. Started to doubt it was even possible. I think i did manage to climb up to darmani's grave without the lens once or twice, but it took many tries.

[@jasonrenard798]

Altering the flow of time itself just to make sure you're home in time for grandmas story. Wholesome. I really liked this! I always feel so lost when I watch speedruns but you explained everything so well I could follow even though it's been forever since I've played!

[@grieved2]

One of the best speed run gameplay commentaries I've ever heard. Clear, informative, and concise explanations to go with extremely high level gameplay. You do an amazing job of explaining everything while not rambling or just filling time. I also enjoy how you mention things that don't happen - the other strats that exist that you don't do, or little RNG/enemy movement bits that could have potentially happened even if they didn't. Also, your voice is extremely calming and pleasant to listen to. Fantastic stuff!

[@turtle2470]

I thought so too. I probably would have jumped to another video if not for the commentator.

[@WoWAlysium]

This game really was magical. So much to do and discover in your first casual playthrough.

[@Ruinthewriter]

This video legitimately made me subscribe. Super chill vibe, interesting commentary, and you made it easy to follow for someone who doesn't know the game very well at all. I love this style of commentary too, it feels more purposeful and I like that you get time to rest between the high level play for 6 hours and presenting it to us.

[@neoqwerty]

Finished the first 2 hours 10 minutes, bookmarking this to come back to this tomorrow. Great commentary and explanation of all the lingo (and also you have one of the most documentary-ish voices I've seen, nice and clear and the pacing is spot on.

[@ElvenNoble]

I absolutely adore this kind of speedrun presentation. If I don't just want something w/o any voice over to chill to, this is exactly the kind of voice companion to a run that I want. These days I almost never watch speedruns from a twitch video just because chat interaction takes away from what I would consider the pb (or wr)'s artform, so to speak. (not that I'm knocking speedrunners for streaming mind you--I watch that too but only live. If I'm going to a video instead of live cast it's cuz I want a different kind of content, and this is exactly what I've been looking for but hardly ever find.) Thanks a bunch for making and uploading this!

[@brandonmitman3275]

I have re-watched this at least 7 times now, this is my guilty pleasure to watch while I am working. Its chill vibe but there is a sense of urgency so it keeps me working on track and also entertained. Thank you for this Video.

[@brandonmitman3275]

Back again, needing to crunch out some work and this came to mind to keep me on track. already super productive. Thanks for doing this again!

[@stormcutter59]

I'm halfway through the run currently, but I must say this is a great video and probably the best I've ever seen for speedrunning. Firstly, I'm amazed at how much you were able to get done in one cycle. I've always been curious just how much someone could finish without a single reset and while I've tried myself, this certainly puts it to shame. Second, I really like your delivery on this form of commentary. Not only is it informative and straight to the point, but it is also refreshingly very mature and subdued, which let's me focus more on the run and what you're doing mechanically. There are far too many "personalities" on KZbin that just try to charm you with the funnies, speedrunners included, but this has little to none of that abnoxiousness. It's very much welcome and embraced by me, I assure you of that. Keep up the great content and the runs. This was very entertaining to watch, especially for someone like me who has had quite a few years towards playing this game and falling in love with it more and more each time I played.

Best of luck to your channel, I’ll keep watching from my sidelines lol.

[@asmrchivist]

had no clue what to watch to wind down, so i just typed "speedrun with commentary" and your channel/this video was the first to pop up and i am so impressed !! the quality of the commentary, good balance of letting the gameplay breathe and explaining stuff that's happening, being really detailed but not treating the viewer as if they've never heard of video games before lmao. great work cant wait to see more

In addition to being engaging and interesting enough for me to *actively* watch several times, man, this video has helped me get to sleep countless times and I owe you more than one. I owe you like, a dozen. It's a game I love and know inside and out; the volume is consistent and even; your voice is super chill; the commentary is informative and interesting without being super dense; you talk enough to make it more than just game gameplay footage and I always know what's going on even when I'm not looking at the video... it's great. All of your commentated runs are fantastic, but since MM is one of my favorite games of all time I'm biased for this one. You deserve a congratulatory fruit basket.

[@TheFhqwhgadsLimit]

I enjoy seeing glitchless speedruns of games I like - while it's interesting to see how much a game can be "broken" I do like seeing what can be done with the game as "intended." With that though... Is there any category that's even more "as intended?" Not sure how that would be defined, but for example, I'm sure the programmers didn't "intend" for a bomb to allow you to jump up higher than normal - it's just an unintended side effect from how they designed what happens when you get hit from a bomb. Anyways, great video! This is my favorite game of all time so it's a lot of fun to see this, and I enjoy the laid back way you approach speedrunning.

[@bewildebeest]

Glad you enjoyed it! I can't think of another speedrun category that is even more as intended. I think I remember hearing that some MM speedrunners did a tongue-in-cheek "intended%" race one time, but at least in the community at present, most speedrunners aren't interested in playing the game *exactly* as intended. Compared to how crazy glitched runs get, though, and especially with SRM, this category is pretty tame. That said, you might want to check out a no-hit run, where the object is to play the entire game without taking any hits, without regard for how long things take. I'm not totally familiar with the ruleset most play with, but from what I've heard, it's slightly more restrictive than the glitchless speedrun ruleset, and obviously bomb boosts specifically aren't used because they would involve taking a hit. Off the top of my head, three runners I know who have done this are MajinPhil, Samura1man, and DJCarmichael.

[@kaloofy3500]

[@Sapheiorus]

42:12 Wait... did you just...? [rapidly typing into Google] [reading...] ... Speedruns like this can be so damned helpful for learning more intentionally designed facets that you don't even need to master glitching to make use of in one's own playthrough. Case in point, from this one moment, I learned of the holy power of the Deku Stick equal to the Master Sword. Now I wanna play OoT and MM while trying to make use of it more.

56:30 MM is my favorite Zelda game, I’m 30 and I’ve been playing it for years just now and again I always pick it back up! I never knew you could just shoot a fire arrow at the center and skip the entire flaming stick race. That’s amazing.

This was my first Zelda game as a kid, it was a lot of fun learning the various ways to cheese the puzzles. And as for things like rolling into the dungeon - everything in the run that looks effortless I have failed many times in the past and have put lots of time into practicing. Nobody is born with it!

I've watched the entire thing across two days now, and I gotta say you're an amazing content creator. Clear informative commentary, highlighting interesting quirks and reasons behind your strategies. This was a joy to watch. Also, what's your connection to Pinchcliffe if you don't mind me asking?

[@bewildebeest]

I'm glad you enjoyed it! Glitchless strats in Majora's Mask are often overshadowed by the plethora of glitches available, but I think they're still pretty cool. I don't have a personal connection to Pinchcliffe; I covered the theme song because a (Norwegian) friend of mine requested it. Seems like a cozy childhood-memories-type movie, though, from the clip I watched.

[@hakonmarcus]

@@bewildebeest Sounds like something a Norwegian would do. That movie is our national treasure, haha. Yeah I kinda prefer watching glitchless, that way the runner actually interacts with more of the game, and usually in a manner I can understand. Once things get as broken as they do in the old Zelda titles, there is simply not much game left in any%. Great to know that it can be done that fast, but not very interesting to watch.

[@bewildebeest]

@@hakonmarcus I know what you mean. Some runners feel the same way, so there are categories specifically designed to keep more of the game in runs. I'd recommend checking out runs of 100% NMG (no major glitches), All Masks, and All Fairy Rewards if you want to see some glitched runs that don't, for example, warp to the credits. I personally think even the extremely broken categories are cool, but they're certainly not everyone's cup of tea.
