Ocarina of Time 100% Speedrun in

1st try dampe, decent run overall but all the luck related stuff besides dampe was kinda bad. Still going for lower.
There's a lot going on in this run and it can be really confusing if you don't know what's happening. To explain stuff, I have an FAQ here pastebin.com/9bJqdjFF as well as a fully commentated demonstration run of this route here • Ocarina of Time 100% N...

This man is what every speedrunner should aim to be. He's had the first place for years, but he's never content with just being the fastest. As long as he can go faster, he will continue. True Legend.

[@Codylupardus]

There's been times when glitchy had first place in the last few months, but zfg has made the WR like 6 times in a row since then

[@crumbcake11]

his mom disagrees

[@chaotickreg7024]

13:15 "I really should reset already. This is already really bad."

[@wizard7314]

He considers the run bad based on his performance relative to his standard, and not based on luck like 1st try Dampe.

[@reidmartin6209]

he is literally in the green lol

[@Codylupardus]

@@reidmartin6209 At that point he had just lost about 5-10 seconds. He was behind his PB (watch the little video in the top left) and his previous personal best was about 10 seconds slower than his balanced times. So, compared to that he was pretty far in the red for 13 minutes in.

[@YourBoyYoshii]

No stopping ZFG hes legit forever gonna be holder of hundo

[@52flyingbicycles]

If this run gets verified (very likely), ZFG will have an 8 minute advantage over 2nd place and a 25 minute advantage over third place. Incredible

[@YourBoyYoshii]

@@52flyingbicycles I know hes like the enopp of oot haha the goat fr he could pick up any category and get wr with practice

[@j03man44]

The rate of his PB improvement probably scares off a lot of potential challengers. The target just keeps moving. Imagine trying to feel happy about your 1-minute PB when the world record was just improved by the same amount.

[@52flyingbicycles]

@@j03man44 I recall the Summoning Salt video about Matt Turk and Punch-Out. The records seemed impossible to beat, but the runners took that as a challenge. Probably more intimidating to run against ZFG while he plays 100%, but if he moves to max% child or other categories, it’s likely we’ll see other people creep up on him.

[@circle_it]

this is my first time watching a 100% speedrun of Ocarina of Time. I didn't realize there were so many glitches to the game. The glitches are totally fine, it's just, I wasn't expecting to have absolutely no idea what was happening the entire run after he walks out the front door of link's house.

[@korlkiller]

There's a "No SRM" speedrun that still has glitches, but no where near as much as this run. There's also Glitchless 100% runs that would be much easier to understand

[@ranglix1]

[@grabtheroys8394]

no such thing

[@shredditplays6021]

Bro really said at 13:00 that he should reset the run and give up Then went on to get WR

[@mnjkmnjk123]

That's standard for the "freak" at this point lol

[@twocows360]

runners almost always hate their runs unless they're basically flawless. it's relatively uncommon to hear a runner say "yeah that was a good run," it's usually "this run sucked" even when it's WR. and in zfg's case, he doesn't even care about WR, he just wants a really good run without any substantial mistakes.

Yup same, I end up clicking on a wr video many nights before finally finishing it.. I still haven't finished the last PB but guess I'll start on this one since its recent.

[@dbzfan66]

First go like this, spin around, STOP! Double take three times, one, two, three! Then pelvic thrust, whooo! Whooo! Whooo! Stomp on your right foot, don't forget it! Now it's time to bring it around town, bring it around town. Then you do, this, then this, then that, and then this, and that and this and that and then... speedruning!

[@TheLifeofRon]

I just watched this whole 3+ hr video...as a guy who loves this game and never did a speed run,,, im blown away at the things you did! very nice 🤘🏼

[@CosmosProvider]

What astonishes me the most is that to this day this is probably the most game breaking speedrun in all of speedrunning history and we've still haven't managed to find a RNG manipulation strat for Dampe. Deep down i'm sure that even if there is/were one, people would still not use it. I mean come on it's Dampe, everyone's favorite part of the run

[@Randinator]

They wouldn’t use it because setting up any sort of manipulation would take longer than just going for it.

[@CosmosProvider]

@@Randinator until that day someone finds a way. It's still OOT, the break down of this game is nowhere near over

[@brianrutherfield9233]

Same.. not to take away from the skill this took but how is that not cheating?

[@STOREpappa]

@brianrutherfield9233 I think it's because they only use bugs in the game which they manipulate. Speedrunning games usually end up breaking them completely which spawns new categories. OoT any% was a lot of fun until they figured out how to skip straight to the end lmao

[@jasonl8720]

​​there is a category called 100% glitchless if you want to watch the normal verison, the record is like 5.5 hours

[@sidewindeyes5121]

I am astounded... you are truly amazing ZFG. The funny part is that you use all the right button commands to get all the items, just so you can run around and get all the items. 😂 But seriously, i am so happy i found your twitch and started following you. 10/10 bro! 🤘

Is there any video or article explaining that glitch with the bombchus that gave him a TON of items early in the game? It was so cool but I can’t find anything on how or why it works like that. Anybody know?

[@SoLinkSmash]

It's called Stale Reference Manipulation (SRM). In the description of the video is a commentated demonstration of the route, ZFG explains what all of the glitches are. There's also a really good SRM explanation in the AGDQ 2021 run of OoT All Dungeons on this channel too

[@nimrodjd]

[@Jakal_205]

ZFG the goat 🐐

[@herolink8770]

Point of inquiry do you actually move faster walking backwards like that or does it just seem like it? And can someone tell me what SRM means?

[@hydroa888]

Yes, walking backwards is faster than normal walking in most cases. For short distances, rolling is faster. SRM means Stale Reference Manipulation, which is new to me, but I'm assuming it's what spawns all the free items and I think it's done by doing specific things in a certain order, like dropping the fish. Hope this helps
