Ocarina of Time All Dungeons Speedrun in

[@SupaDanteX]

So this is the timeline where an unnaturally powerful Hylian boy was born, who just happened to inherit all of the legendary items of Hyrule, along with a spell that allows him to teleport to wherever he wants. He uses this power to defeat all of the strongest evil creatures in the world. Ganondorf never tricks a weaker less wise version of the hero into opening the door of time for him, and therefore never rises to power. In fact at this point in time, Ganondorf should still be at the castle kneeling to the king, completely unaware that the greatest evils of his time, that he was planning to subjugate, are all quickly and efficiently being killed. So it makes sense you never go to "Fight Ganon", as he's still at the castle. And it makes sense that the credits party rolls after you defeat Volvagia. Because you've just not only stopped all evil, but even prevented the greatest evil of them all from ever even attaining any power. The end scene is Link, finally finding the Master Sword, sitting there, glowing blue, just inviting him to come and pick it up. Looking at it for a moment, looking at his buff self. Laughing, and turning around and walking away from it. Truly this is the brightest timeline. I vote to call this route the "Brightest Timeline" route.

[@rogerklotz7737]

Alex Stewart But it’s a different game

[@LAppelDuVideo]

The similarities between OOT's SRM and Mario 64's "grabbing an item fake" are really fascinating. Thanks for the explanation :)

[@hnglbanana]

it's because they're essentially the same thing! both games allow you to pick up and hold objects, which have to be stored in memory. through certain manipulation in both games, the object can be removed from memory, but since the game knows you still have to be holding something, you'll instead hold whatever the next thing is that loads into the spot of memory your original object was occupying obviously the two games vary wildly with what can actually be done with the unloaded object. something like ACE couldn't be done in the same manner as how OoT does it as SM64 does not provide any options to input text strings during gameplay

[@MrCheeze]

The key difference between the two is that SM64 actors all have a fixed size. This means that in sm64, if the actor you're holding unloads and something else loads in its place, you can only corrupt the new actor's position/rotation, not other internal variables.

[@LAppelDuVideo]

@@MrCheeze That's cool, didn't know that before but now some of the SRM applications make more sense now

[@KlareAudio]

It’s also the same as SMW’s credits warp

It's a thing with some Japanese companies iirc. They typically don't like it when people show off exploits and how broken a famous game is. It seems like they have warmed up to speedrunning over the years, but Nintendo still copyright strikes videos about glitches in games like Animal Crossing.

[@SpiteOSRS]

Every time I think about getting into speedrunning (really any game) I watch a video on how optimized, convoluted and difficult these runs are and it feels so daunting to even attempt.

[@xMrjamjam]

The time you spend worrying you could be practicing and getting better. Don't worry about how daunting it can be just work on one thing at a time then when you master all the tricks go for a full run

[@GonzoMD1993_]

I mean, if you wanted to go for a WR attempt then yeah it's really daunting. But honestly, even beating one of the glitched categories at all is really impressive and some of them don't require you to memorize and grind complex tricks. Something like SM64 16 Stars is very beginner friendly, all you have do is Mips clip twice (which isn't hard) and BLJs twice as well (which is hard to get consistently on your 1st try but anyone can do it within a few minutes by just mashing A) and the rest is just a normal, glitchless run. You don't need to do complicated tricks like SBLJs or pillarless if you just want to complete the category. This game/category in particular isn't exactly suited for beginners, but don't let that scare you away from speedrunning. Try some easier categories first and as you gain confidence you can start trying more complicated tricks.

I remember people used to make stuff up about secrets you could do to get the triforce, like as a kid you had to jump the gap of shadow temple to access the missing temple of time. I used to hear so much stuff like that. This just sounds like the biggest conspiracy glitch of all time. Just hop back and forth 5 times, take out a bomb, hit a tree, spin in a circle 7 times, eat cereal while on the toilet, find 6 cuccos and make them follow you to hyrule field. Then all of a sudden, you will just get magic and all the items in the game. Now set Faroes wind and then catch 3 bottles of fairy, fish, potion. Now catch and recatch the fish, I PROMISE this is going to make you be able to warp anywhere, Oh didnt work? thats because your angle wasnt perfect, just keeeep tryinggg dude.

Not ZFG, but I remember around the time Equip Swap was found that he said the last obvious big advance would be to have a quick way to swap between child and adult, avoiding the need to watch the Master Sword cutscenes. That and far more now seems to be possible with SRM, so I also would be interested in hearing what the most desirable new glitch is in a post-SRM world.

Andrew Shevchuk “post-SRM world.” Sounds like post-scarcity world 😄

[@Dontrel3030]

He's been working with a group for the past couple weeks to route out a 100% run that incorporates SRM. With him being able to temporarily turn into an adult like he does in this run I'm not sure he'll need to, but if you're going to see SRM as an adult it would be in the 100% run.

[@ChaosKnight7000]

@@tophan5146 Well, you're not wrong. This is OoT tech so powerful that it is a quantum leap above and beyond any of the things that came before. Suddenly most of the practical restrictions in the game design, like dungeons themselves, have been completely obviated. This run is glorious evidence of that. I can't wait to see how much more radical 100% will be. Even if the end result is something like finding the optimal warp chain to go from source to source to source, that will be quite fascinating. And then there's F-boots and who knows what else still to figure out. Everything is nuts now and I'm totally here for it.

Can someone explain what it means to “load the debug file” while still in game?

It’s essentially a 4th save file that’s pre-programmed with all those items and hearts etc. already acquired. It probably was an easy was for devs to test things out quickly.

[@thefranklin6463]

Thanks! what exactly does the function do? Is the game like constantly checking/updating the inventory by checking your save file or something? Or is this like a function that is called when you load into the game?

[@alexstewart9592]

@@thefranklin6463 Your inventory isn't reloaded when you change rooms. It gets updated in full upon loading a file, and otherwise only updates when you get items, change your equipped items, or acquire/use ammo and explosives. That SRM to load the debug file also permanently changes your filename to "LINK". Unsurprisingly, it is used in practically all SRM categories, and some of them perform a reset (because they crash the game after completing another SRM and saving, so they have to reset to get anywhere), and as such has confused ZFG in the past.

[@jackbendtsen8002]

@@thefranklin6463 All the function does is find the title screen (debug) save file and apply it to the current quest status / inventory. It's normally only called when you load the title screen, but given that it's always in memory, thanks to SRM all you need to do is replace a function pointer that can be run from normal gameplay - such as a particular shrub's draw function pointer - with a pointer to that function. This makes it so that for every frame that you can see that specific shrub, the title screen file gets applied.

[@MegaDardery]

is there a good explanation on why wrong warps are weird with this farore's wind glitch? What defines a dungeon to be "wrong warpable", can't you do a wrong warp from practically any dungeon it's just that most of them crash?

[@ellisjameson9909]

I'm no expert but i can tell u that if there's a cutscene after a boss has been beaten then it is wrong warpable, which is why fire temple, deku tree, dodongos cavern and jabu jabu are.

This was so amazing! I wonder how this doesn't qualify as ACE though, in spite of using the file name data and maniplating function pointers. Does it have something to do with the amount of instructions that are chained?

[@jmarvins]

the difference (simplified) is this: in ACE, you tell the game to read something you wrote (like filename, or a song you play for the scarecrows, or controller inputs) as code and execute it. in this use of SRM, you get the game to run different parts of its own code that are already part of the game, instead of writing new code. the filename isnt code, but rather a "signpost" that you trick the game into following so that it runs a different part of its own code.
