PrinnyDood throw in 44:40 for best joke not gotten

[@duncanedgin9433]

Palast?

[@mariodeathcore1]

To the person commentating, i thank you. These people are hating on it but you explained a lot of parts where i was like "why did he do that?"

[@Thelemorf]

Yeah, for us thats not up to speed with every little trick in the game, its realy interesting with a running commentary

[@mariodeathcore1]

How so?

[@Thelemorf]

Reuben Ahmed Says the guy flaming other people on youtube...

[@Thelemorf]

Reuben Ahmed Probably not, but Im sure there are plenty of ignorant people out there...

[@mariodeathcore1]

Well i mean, if you're bad you'd think he was a dick sooooo....

[@GrantDavis]

Good job to the guy doing all the explaining :D

[@suggy_123]

This run, followed by Zoasty with Super Metroid, has to be one the best 'moments' of any GDQs. Absolutely incredible.

[@DecenniuM]

Exactly what I thought as well.

[@The90sGamingGuy]

Love this game its a classic one that I'll never get tired of playing. Cool to hear ppl in the video talking about the different ways to save time while doing a speed run.

[@roxachronic6561]

Pizza+ watch speedrun of the best zelda game = awewome afternoon, it brings back so many memories.

[@saiyanofsteel]

This took me MONTHS when I was a kid. Also hearing that nostalgic soundtrack again after all these years made me smile haha.

[@manuelbover4221]

Best Zelda game ever, no question about it!

[@Completionist666]

I watch speedruns literally daily and it's the first time i've seen siglemic on the couch

[@josipher1073]

I am impressed how jadin beat this game so fast! amazing. congratulations to you and all the participants of this great charity!!

[@mastodon0124]

Great speed run for the greatest Zelda game ever made

[@boopbop8015]

+Bad Boy Bubby ikr

[@jcdenton4621]

+Bad Boy Bubby My brother and I were in awe when we stepped out into the rain storm in the beginning! It's my favorite part of the game!

[@mastodon0124]

***** Nope. A Link to the Past is the best Zelda game ever made. Educate yourself, son.

[@mastodon0124]

***** That's why i told him to educate himself.

[@mastodon0124]

***** Nope. A Link to the Past is the best game ever made. You're argument is greatly flawed. Get some sleep, dust yourself off and try again.

[@user-ld3si9iy6s]

I don't feel like the guy commentating was a douchebag whatsoever, actually his commentary was really really good and I heavily enjoyed it. Not sure why anyone is hating on him tbh.

[@chieflookout76]

Run starts at 5:40.

[@NightdawnLetsPlay]

I enjoyed this run so much when it was Live, was eating sushi and squid with my bird with the stream on in the background. Jadin is a great runner and I hope to see him again in the future. Big thanks to SDA for making these and making sure we can make a difference together. SDA brings a tear to my eye, what you do are extraordinary. I would hug all of you'll if I could! People do subscribe to them!

[@keggerous]

This is the first game I remember playing as a child. Just perfect in its execution. Simply amazing to play

[@omnimatt2239]

Who would have thought that speed runs would be so interesting.

[@Joe.Rogan.]

44:40 Commentator makes the best joke of the night and not one of the nerds got it.... priceless

[@ryanreyna1794]

Lol I don't think they were thinking

[@nickynamikaze3183]

CaptainTruth I don't get it

[@nintend0fr33k]

I'm so addicted to these Link to the Past speed runs... o.o This is my favorite game of all time, so watching them grab it by the balls and bitch-slap it in the face is just amazing to me.

[@TimboXLP]

SpeedDemosArchiveSDA is the reason I don't get anything done at work. Best Channel Ever!

[@Radman1889]

This run was godlike. I think the only hiccup was the hammer bomb jump, and the lack of blue balls was insane! AROOOOOO to Jadin for an epic run! :D

[@Chrishudson111]

excellent run watched the whole thing:)

[@cokearte]

Sin duda es uno de los mejores juegos que he jugado!! gracias por este speedrun! salud! :D

[@isaigm]

Qué agradable sujeto

[@jessicahynes4937]

what a bad ass run, man. My props. I played this game when I Was nine .... (I am 31 now) and it took me a very long time to beat it..but of course.. I was nine LOL. Way to go ,Jadin. You are my hero! :D

[@RissaiBR]

The final battle was pretty intense! Awesome run! Thanks guys!

[@Simon0]

very impressive run! That was a great time (im not familiar with speedruns of this game but this looked very good to me compared to a regular run).

[@RIPjohnbonham]

19:47 - "Man with the sombrero can choose where this goes" *Everyone turns to look at the man wearing the sombrero* "Kill the animals" Actually laughed out loud haha

[@Crave88evarC]

What a team in the middle. Cosmo, StarWarsKid and Bluegrass

[@SeanDaRyan]

Cosmo is a chick now eh

[@gitksanamo3854]

LMAO!!!!! Pink shirt lost his load @ 35:24! hahahaha

[@Jerkwad152]

andrew thistle The Agahnim fights can be very...cathartic.

[@dmzcat4060]

andrew thistle lmao true, but the guy is cool, if you notice, he's in alot videos and alot of people know who he is, his name is blueglass. I'm pretty sure he goes to every event

[@AndrewParente09]

lmfao yes thank you thats fucking awesome lol

[@June28July]

For those who keep asking, video starts at 0:00

[@Korstre]

Bomb jumping... a precursor to rocket jumping. Nice!

[@XclusiveXbox]

Currently watching the Wind Waker run from AGDQ and enjoyed Feasel's 'Zelda II' run, this'll be great. love it

[@SpeedDemosArchiveSDA]

06:03 for run start

[@MrOnTheCheap]

The black guy in the front loves to say specific.

[@DiscoCokkroach]

darkman78's reaction at 1:32:07 - 1:32:18 is one of my favorite GDQ moments of all time.

[@sakules]

wow what a beast of a player

[@dennisreynolds2122]

+Lucas _ I am really shocked he didn't upgrade the boots to double jump so he could just jump over the gaps.

[@regaliatwentytwo]

Jadin looks on the verge of tears during this run. I know he's not but it still looks sad...

[@NormalPianist]

If Zach Galafinakis and Will Ferrel had a child = Jadin.

[@cocomunga]

I've been doing that spin attack on the boss reward for years because it looked cool. I didn't know it saved time.

[@ThrawnTheater]

Anyone else notice the baby in the Link hat in the back at 1:18:30?

[@xarrox123]

Great vid and commentation, thanks! :)

[@SelloutSnake]

I think I can safely say these guys have played through my childhood in a total of less than 24 hours,

[@TailRunnerOPSpec]

I do believe a new record for Dead Space 2 was recently uploaded on their website. I'd suggest searching their site for games that span every generation. Also, I think Portal 2 is getting a speedrun in January for AGDQ '14

[@johnseena45]

He actually could have saved a little time with a little glitch involving the Bird. If you call the bird and you charge your pegasus boots and run towards the bird. He will pick you up and you'll be able to pick your location. HOWEVER, when you land, you'll be running as if the pegasus boots were charged and all that.

[@TompaA]

That glitch can only be done on the GBA version. The same effect is however used in this run: The Itemdash glitch. Seen at for example 1:17:05. In both GBA and SNES, you have to enter some kind of stairs after activating the glitch, in order to run fast.

[@CinemaStormz]

You guys do a great job keep up the good work.

[@Namezzzzzzz]

man i spend so much time on this game

[@BLOOBLAYZER]

Jadin looks freakishly like Harley Morenstein.

[@cocomunga]

It also helps stun enemies, allowing you to simply pass by.

[@lolzy123321]

Oh god that couch looks so uncomfortable...

[@Atantuo]

not sure what you're talking about. this sgdq's TP run isn't up on youtube yet, but i just watched it recently from sda's archive and it was really entertaining.

[@BuntyBoymadman]

Whose here in 2018?

[@SeanDaRyan]

Was this right before Zoasts Super Metroid run

[@ohgoll7515]

very nicely done!

[@stevensanders9219]

So something i just thought about while watching the beginning of this (the uncle/latern part of the run) is to this time/era to be with swords, shields, bows and arrows, etc, isnt it strange that in the castle that Zelda has an intercom system? Seems like new-age technology in an "ancient" time period

[@brightwolfz]

SGDQ 2013 alone was between 35,000 and 40,000$ Sorry should have read your comment all the way before I answer XD

[@SpeedDemosArchiveSDA]

i wish someone would do Mystical Ninja i would watch that all day, errday

[@Burubrikoos]

Really cool! Thanks!

[@PlCKEN]

28:35that worm was a dick in my childhood

[@brantw69]

35:36 watch the guy sitting beside blueglasses (i think thats what he goes by, not sure) anyways his reaction is priceless.

[@SpeedDemosArchiveSDA]

Yw

[@Iliek]

RIP Cosmo

[@x0rang3x]

these runs are like concerts of virtuoso musicians for me...

[@andrew12341231]

Did they raise $150,000 for charity? Is that what he said at 42 minutes?

[@SpeedDemosArchiveSDA]

$250k in total, actually.:)

[@Impsoup]

This cartridge deserved to be golden :S

[@MrHappy4311]

That guy looked so irritated when cosmo put the plushie on him

[@MrHappy4311]

When he butchered the sandworms boss, I thought that the rest of the run would he terrible. Holy crap he proved me wrong

[@branscombe_]

Skip to 1:33:15 for the action

[@64imma]

I wish jadin would do more of the commendation.

[@demonkingt]

super Metroid you have the choice to save a room of animals by enterting it and shooting the wall on the otherside or something. they don't upload the videos in order incase you hadn't noticed.

[@forkevbot]

You shouldve used the flying bird glitch with pegasus boots to permanently boost your speed without charging! :O

[@thenostalgiafactor5023]

Yolo Swag God soaking in the fluorescent light!

[@mgshadow45]

oooh good idea. co-op one i would hope.

[@ianipoo]

Remake Link to the Past. MAKE GAMING GREAT AGAIN!!!!

[@william240]

i know a shorter way. you could compleate the game without saving the princess or compleating any other thing after saving the princess. you could activate the eplotation glitch and keep foing north and you get to the triforce in like 10 minutes.

[@MoarOfTehRawkege]

I think the record for that is like a minute and a half or something but that's not the type of run they were doing.

[@suseman1]

They said that in the beginning.

[@PROcrastinatingnao]

he grabs the key with it and it helps with knockbacks

[@mds.c.o.m3737]

how did u beat ganon without silver arrows

[@junior2k827]

i always wanted this game when i was younger but i couldn't get it

[@gomez1323]

It's an event where people have to go to. You have to be known in the speedrunning community.

[@demonkingt]

there's parts of a video of them playing it and having a glitched cutscene.

[@brightwolfz]

If I remember correctly it was between 35,000 and 40,000$

[@LadySinovera]

They explain which tricks only work in the Japanese 1.0 version like the item dash trick.

[@TheBerni028]

This is awesome, you does in 120 min what i do in 1 year ? remember me when i have 10 years old !

[@brunsbaer21]

1:20 isn't 120 minutes, its 80 minutes...

[@ryanreyna1794]

Who is the dude that is doing the most talking not Jadin but the one wearing the black shirt

[@darthmaul502]

NoToolsNoRules 009221 darkman78, he does some MegaMan runs

[@Myriachan]

The maiden's text after beating the level 2 boss mentions the Magical Mirror, but the English version doesn't. I can't read the rest of the Japanese, though, so I don't know what she's saying about it.

[@stephanjacob17]

YSG!

[@Simon0]

nevermind this was explained near the end!

[@alsoknownas875]

1:11:19 Holy shit, that was SICK.

[@SirJazz]

Anyone knows why Jaden / ApparentlyPants deleted his account on all plattforms?

[@XclusiveXbox]

Love it

[@JustARTificial]

One does not simply leave a post...

[@WineRedEchos]

I just want the TP run uploaded :(

[@kemle]

any modern games like 2009-ish or later that they speed run?

[@Erikulum]

You should try the Speed Demo Archive forum. You'll probably find an answer there

[@PM2GonZaLes]

@1:29:28 shots fired!

[@serginh0w]

beast

[@prinnydood]

Iam practicing the fight against Little Litty and can not kill the eyes in two spin attacks. Is tgere something to consider? 1:15:50

[@llall12]

I also go to the 4th Dungeon after the first :D (cause of the tempred sword ;) )

[@dennisreynolds2122]

Yo, did you know in the dungeons you can get the MAP and COMPASS? This let's you know the layout of the dungeon and where you are going thus making these dungeons much quicker and easier to navigate. You might want to incorporate those in to your next speed run to save some time.

[@wideChiefy]

It saves a lot of time if they don't, besides he has a specific route for the entire run

[@dennisreynolds2122]

Michael Wagner Yeah, well his route gets him lost and the map and compass would stop that from happening.

[@samir.3468]

+Dennis Reynolds But... he didn't get lost even once. What are you talking about?

[@dennisreynolds2122]

Nicholas Ring Yeah, well the compass and map make it easier to navigate. He probably lost around 2 minutes per dungeon so approximately 25 minutes.

[@samir.3468]

+Dennis Reynolds No, he didn't because he DIDN'T GET LOST. Bullshit he lost 25 minutes. The guy has run this game hundreds of times, he knows the map by heart, he has no reason to check the map at ALL. Did you even watch the fucking video?

[@KAGEFOREEVER]

were can i get that rainbow afro t-shirt

[@tsunamininja]

Oh ok, thanks dude.

[@tsunamininja]

I've heard about it in a lot of SDA videos, what's up with the whole saving/killing the animals donations things?
