【Commentated】Twilight Princess Glitchless Any% TAS in

[@bewildebeest]

(Update 2024-09-26: This seems to be fixed?) Apparently if you watch this at any of the 30fps options (480p or below), the audio and video will desync. There is no desync at the 60fps options. I have never heard of this problem before and don't know why it's happening, and I also don't know whether there's anything I can do about it because the sync is totally fine on the video file I uploaded. Sorry about that.

[@ryan_ford522]

I just came back to finish the last 40% of this vid and it's the first time I've seen this issue

[@ryuken10]

For me it happened around the time you got the Gale Boomerang. Definitely something screwy happened KZbin's end where they somehow deleted a lot of visual frames for the lower quality encodes. [insert joke about Cosmic Rays causing a bit flip here]

[@Jowler39]

Omg thank you i had auto on and it switched to 480, i thought i was going crazy lol

My husband has a bad cold and needs to take a nap -- literally what perfect timing....!! I also struggle a lot with insomnia and your commentaries are one of the extremely few things that knock me out -- im ever so grateful for that. Of course, i always have a giggle mid falling asleep when i hear the "take my midna back to the midna store to get a replacement or refund" LMAO

[@VectorKnightZX]

I thought I was the only one that did this! It works bizarrely well, but the points of silence where there's nothing for him to comment on damages its effectiveness for me (I've considered directly asking making a video edit, honestly). Still helps a lot.

[@RickRaptor105]

In this entire 5 hour commentary, the coolest new trivia about Twilight Princess I learned is one you didn't even get to utilize, which is the Cave of Ordeals floor with the poe automatically setting the world to nighttime

[@bewildebeest]

Don't worry, we do use that in 100% speedruns

[@Altasetraa]

a TAS group commentary without one person with an earsplittingly bad microphone? Amazing!❤🎉

We did put effort into making the audio good

Hi. Thank you for doing this. When I was little I would hang out with my grandma while she played Zelda, and she would talk to me about what Was she doing, and I would read the guidebook to her. this reminds me of that.

[@asher6567]

I’m sure the commentated videos must be a pain to make, but I love them soooo much!!

[@bewildebeest]

Generally the commentary is the part that takes a long time. For this one, the commentary was live, so that only took 5 hours, but making the TAS was the part that took a very long time.

Don't worry, I won't tell your professors

I was so shocked to hear normal howling. More so than by any of the other shenanigans.

Haha I never liked TAS howling

[@exctasyi]

Speedrun commentaries and this channel specifically are seriously some of the absolute best things on this entire platform

[@spicyjuice0452]

That was a long journey but you showed insane dedication by finishing this TAS in 4 months only. I hope you learned a lot because I did at least and it encouraged me to try this at some point myself because experimenting what is possible is something I really like to in this game. Great work!

[@bewildebeest]

I look forward to your eventual Low Transforms TAS PauseChamp

[@sweetiewolfgirl]

It took 3 watches of this to fully digest, one being the live stream. and man did I love every second of it. The pots especially was some of the coolest tech I've seen, as well as, as bad as it must've been to tas, the wiggle break slides and the fast swimming. The water slide staring in the water temple was very funny too. And now I need other tp stuff to watch- OH RIGHT, that record, gotta finish watching that. Great, great, work.

[@Blackberry-Mochi]

I was wondering what was wrong with my video until reading the description and oh okay some foul curse is cast upon this video I see. Understandable. I will enjoy this video in 720p or higher then, thank you for the FIVE HOURS OF CONTENT

Well, I know what I'm going to listen to during my shift at work today! These commentated speedrun videos always help me as pleasant background noise whenever I need to work or fall asleep. Thanks for this and great work on the TAS!

Let's goo! I caught the live reveal near the end of it and decided to just watch it from the beginning on youtube. I'll watch this first, then get back to the new hundo video.

[@bewildebeest]

This is better than the reveal anyway, my internet was struggling a lot during the stream

[@volpilh]

23:24 Having only played the Wii version (and hero mode WiiU) I have a similar experience watching game cube footage. I look at it, and I don't think, "that's what the original looks like," I think "that's what the speedrun looks like". Weird beans

I'm sure someone mentioned it elsewhere in the comments but if you wanna fix your wii sensor bar pointer spazzing out, just replace the "sensor" bar with two small candles. The actual infrared sensor is in the wiimote, the "sensor bar" is just two IR lights for it to use as a frame of reference, which two candles can replicate very brightly from its perspective

I watched your tas without commentary first to watch and I didn't realize you were playing with Wii U graphics until I saw the sewers map at 2:13:48 (I grew up on the Wii version but I'm used to the Wii U graphics) and I was really confused for a second. Really impressive tas!

[@bewildebeest]

Glad you enjoyed! But it is the original version's graphics. The SD version can natively run at 1080p. It's just the Wii console itself that is limited to 480p, but since this TAS needed to be done on emulator, that didn't apply.

[@Pikachuness]

This is really cool!

Great to see that the three of you are so passionate about this game! Just incredible how much knowledge you have acquired about it over the years, probably more than the developers themselves! Keep up the awesome work👍🏻 PS: You said it took you four months to record the TAS. How long would a 100% TAS take to record and how long would it probably be?

[@bewildebeest]

Glad you enjoyed! A 100% TAS would probably be around 5:33:01 long, and it would take a little over a year to make, if I recall correctly. kzbin.info/www/bejne/r2badp6ggd12ppI

[@ryuken10]

It's absolutely wild to me how Twilight Princess doesn't have a way to change day to night other than one weird dungeon exit in Arbiter's Ground and Floor 16 Cave of Ordeals. I wonder how much time it would save in each category to have a way to change time of day?

[@bewildebeest]

There are a few other ways, but no fast and portable way. Something like OoT's Sun's Song would probably save a little time in 100%. Time of day matters very little outside of glitchless and 100%, but if it were possible to change time of day instantaneously, it might save a few seconds in any%/all dungeons by skipping the bulblin archer cutscenes in the desert.

[@ryuken10]

@@bewildebeest That's fascinating. I guess the way TP is routed, the time of day still works out.

[@GabrielDot395]

That was awesome!

[@halyoalex8942]

seeing the TAS movement with the dominion rod statues makes me wish it came back in a future zelda game imagine a BOTW-like with controllable statues you can take almost anywhere in hyrule

[@TheArchivistArchive]

So forgive the dumb question, but I guess with TAS you're essentially programming the run as you mention in the description, getting everything as optimal as you like while really really slowly going through the game, so the finished result is what, an auto-play, using said code? I never quite understood exactly how TASing worked.

[@bewildebeest]

Yes, but note that the "code" I made is just a list of button and control stick inputs corresponding to the frame count, nothing smarter than that. The TAS goes down that list telling the emulator exactly what inputs I said to do on each frame, and that always yields the same result given the same starting state.

[@TheArchivistArchive]

@@bewildebeest Makes sense, thanks for clarifying. Amazing run by the way ^_^
