Only with this video was I able to pull off the first phase skip. THANK YOU! Now all I need to do is practice.

[@aBetterMove]

What a fantastic tuto! I had tried and failed original LA's no ace any% and had no idea DX has distinct method with a simpler boss fight. You just earned a new runner!

[@jokerofspades-xt3bs]

thank you so much man, this video was really great and helpful

[@yngwe8257]

Hi and thank you for a great tutorial. You are very great at this game. I have been playing through the whole game, a casual walkthrough. Since I have been playing Alttp a lot and tried a lot of different routes and glitches, I tried this one category in this game. I submitted one of my runs, the ocarina route, at speedrun.com. It would be nice to do a sub five minutes run. This route is pretty hardcore. I have had a tough time with Agahnim and Dethl. Well, maybe one day.

[@shinygiveaways1920]

can i see the ocarina route?

[@KingKeel444]

Great tutorial. Thanks Riddler.

[@RiddlerSR]

KingKeel444 I'd love to see your runs if you have a stream on twitch? that would be cool :D

[@KingKeel444]

Riddler Speedruns not yet but maybe eventually. i did find and follow your channel, so hopefully I'll catch you live soon.

[@RiddlerSR]

:D Yeah dude. and I hope to see you beating my times one day ;)

Yo Im gonna get dat PB right now lmao. Thanks for that Riddler :)

When I try to do the clip part I get warped to the beach. what happened?

[@RiddlerSR]

If you mean the clip into the doghouse, make sure that you kill only two enemies.

[@foxy_hd6174]

I have absolutely no problems until the Very last fight, you said his movement= players movement, so why does he charge at me after to bow rounds and kills me? since i don't have the feather i can't jump.

[@RiddlerSR]

The window for movement in the final phase gets pretty tight after the second round of arrows, since his arms start spinning faster. It's hard to maintain the same up+down pattern like you do in the beginning so with bad RNG, you will get charged by him if you are having to avoid his arms. This quirk is one of the most frustrating parts of this Speedrun since it's a combination of both consistent movement and RNG.

[@stevy2318]

I downloaded the rom from speedrun.com but when im at the screen before the one where you enter ganon boss fight i drown also i cant cross the second screen the way you do it in the dog house and i dont get the softlock on the white screen

[@RiddlerSR]

can you send me a screenshot in an imgur link? I don't think I understand where you're getting stuck at the moment

@@RiddlerSR ok thank you

[@mrRobotic121]

im using bgb and the save and quit menu isnt working, is there something wrong with the file? i downloaded it from the speedruns website

[@RiddlerSR]

what is your control layout? sometimes certain keys on a keyboard don't work in unison

[@mrRobotic121]

+Riddler Speedruns 4,5 1,2 . A,b start,select

[@RiddlerSR]

+Greed RM first make sure you're using a+b before select then start, if that doesn't help it might have to do with your key layout. Mess around with it a bit, emulators can be troublesome for these reasons

[@Pink_Pig99]

If someone is reading can this glitch work with the 1993 version?

[@RiddlerSR]

Hi! Yes everything in this run works on the original 1993 version, however that game is even more broken than this one, so there are actually even *faster* ways to finish Link's Awakening 1993. You can see Nitroz's WR here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i5OcZXydnch-ps0si=5K35kAUquYpv4UMD

[@Pink_Pig99]

And is there a tutorial for that type of glitch or speed run ?​@@RiddlerSR

[@Pink_Pig99]

​@@RiddlerSR and does this speed run work with the gamewach Zelda edition?

[@RiddlerSR]

@@Pink_Pig99 I am not sure about the Game and Watch Zelda edition. However, You can find any speedrunning resources for LA at speedrun.com/LA

@@RiddlerSR k thank so much

[@JonathanMerkt]

This video is awesome!! Is there a reason why speed runners use the Japanese version of this game?

[@RiddlerSR]

Japanese can say more with less text than English can. This means that dialogue boxes don't last as long in Japanese and it saves lots of time.

[@TheDarkSlayer415]

So, will you put out a tutorial on how to do this in the Switch remake?

[@RiddlerSR]

I'm not sure the any% run will be anything like this on switch, a lot was patched so as soon as we figure out a good route I will try to make a video

[@TheDarkSlayer415]

Riddler Speedruns I was merely joking, given how LA Switch definitely fixed everything from the GB and GBC releases, but I’m excited to see how speedrunners will try to beat the new version with limited or no glitches.

[@jokerofspades-xt3bs]

sorry for saying this on a 4 year old comment in advance but the NSO version of links awakening DX still works for this route

[@zebbercraft8031]

Do you have to be on the jp version?

[@RiddlerSR]

No you can do this on any version!

[@zebbercraft8031]

@@RiddlerSR great! Thank you so much!

[@yippyo]

You should include Ocarina route in this tutorial. Cause Dethyl skip is much easier then losing a run to that bastard. Just sayin Kappa

[@RiddlerSR]

YippYo I dont Know Ocarina Route :p ask greentunic for that video lol
