[@StopChangingUsernamesYouTube]

It's so nice to realize, really. Just all that stuff we never came across, besides maybe the odd clip in a game like Banjo-Tooie after a _lot_ of trying, and all these people spending years finding ways to pick it all apart and play it differently than any of us probably even wanted to. Well except Sonic 2. I played Chemical Plant _carefully_ to avoid zipping.

Most games are still just smoke and mirrors, heck almost everything is smoke and mirrors.

[@omegahaxors9-11]

It's mostly just down to the fact older games don't error-check. Modern games could be broken just as open if it wasn't for the fact that almost every programming language and game engine will check meticulously if things are working as intended. And for good reason. Something like ACE was discovered in modded minecraft and there was a well-justified huge panic.

[@cuddlequeen3225]

This is a fantastic challenge. It's kind of funny how it devolved into "luckily, there's a glitch for that." Anyone who says this game isn't fully open world and that you can't do all the dungeons in any order just can't do the glitches. :3

[@LasagaMan]

if you need to do glitches to do something in an "open world manner", then it really says a lot to the quality of the game itself (that's bad)

[@brontoburtt]

i mean you dont necessarily HAVE to do glitches for it theres just usually some item you need from another dungeon to make progress in another dungeon if you are doing it glitchless and even then you can just get the item needed and leave the dungeon to go to another one

[@rtyuik7]

btw, im pretty sure the 'funny knee-thing' that AdultLink does in cutscenes is based on how those cutscenes were coded...as far as i understand it, they basically have a pointer for where Link's Head should be, and then another pointer for where his Feet should be...this is to prevent his feet from simply clipping into the ground, if theres uneven terrain or whatever...but the Distance between Head and Feet is hard-coded into the cutscene based on the age Link SHOULD be during that cutscene... a "less-glitchy leftover" of this is the SleepingWaterfall cutscene at Zora's River (its the sweeping camera movement after playing Zelda's Lullaby at the entrance)...apparently the devs forgot that AdultLink has to come through here too, because his knees are all bent for This cutscene, since his Head and Feet placement are based on YoungLink's height... (as for an 'Adult Cutscene as Child' example, the Ganondorf-Ganon Transformation cutscene will have YoungLink standing at the same height as AdultZelda, but the camera is 'conveniently' cropped to not show Link's floating legs, iirc)

36:33 I discovered on my own you can hit this switch blocked by the block of time by just jump slashing with the hammer. Because the block is partially underground the hit box doesn't register properly and you can just bonk the switch inside. Randomizers sometimes put you in the fire dungeon with no ocarina so you have to experiment with solutions :)

these objectives make this a challenging run idea! so many “beat X game without X” are essentially just trying to make it to the final scenes and skip around. but challenging yourself to actually go through the whole game is awesome!

[@Abegilr_Dragonrider]

I have said it before, but it can be said again. Everything seems to be possible in the N64 Zelda games! This challenge was interesting. The most mindblowing thing was that jump you made in Dodongo's cavern with the hookshot and fairy.

[@alapeno2495]

this was a very fun video! no complaints, except partially for the ocarina bottle to escape the forest temple, but you didn't *hold* an ocarina and still held yourself to not learning them so its overlookable. what i kept thinking throughout this video is how unoptimal things were. You could have gone in gotten the longshot at any time without getting the medallion, which would have saved time in spirit, getting to spirit, and definitely around the dungeons. You could have come to spirit as child by hopping the fence, getting all the way to the gauntlets, then hopping off the hand so you wouldn't get the requiem. all before first going adult, which would have saved time and glitches in places like fire temple. those aren't complaints, though, because despite the unoptimal plays, it really showed you were crafting this yourself and having fun. definite plus in my book

[@acuman99.9]

I hope this isn't another one of these challenges where you think you'll see a bunch of creative game play, then just watch someone bomb hover over everything for an hour.

It's strange seeing bosses like Bongo without crouch stabs, I always do a jumpslash followed by spamming crouch stabs (For those who don't know, crouch stabs carry the properties of your last attack, so crouch stabbing after a jump slash will make it do the increased damage of a jumpslash)

[@Bladieblah]

Friendly piece of feedback. When explaining glitches, first show how the trick plays out, then explain how it works. It's what Bismuth and Summoning Salt do and it's really nice for the viewer. I knew most of the more well known ones and they were easy to follow but with the ones I didn't know (like in the shadow temple) it would have been really nice to see the trick unfold first or know what the goal of the trick is, then get the explanation. And a few more minor points, leaving out specific frames of tricks could make explanations a bit cleaner (some were almost tutorial like). Some tricks like ISG were explained multiple times. Not too bad or anything but could make things smoother. Overall good video and enjoyable to watch, had fun watching it

Lol grumpy member of the Lollipop Guild. Rest in Peace Jerry Maren. I had the game crash on me when I was playing around with the PC port in Ocarina of Time.

This looks very relatable as when i attempted to play ocarina of time for the first time, i couldn't get very far because I couldn't find the ocarina at all, after the deku tree, there was a tree trunk like cave things and no matter how many i went through, it kept going and I couldn't progress, botw and totk and twilight princess and skyward sword were great, but I could never figure out ocarina of time, i just couldn't find the ocarina, then i tried majoras mask, and it deleted all my progress when the timer ran out, but i tried to do everything again and it deleted the progress again... Unable to find the ocarina, these two games didn't make sense, there was a bomber notebook minigame which was interesting, and there was a deku dungeons, but if you do the deku stuff, i was stuck in deku form till the timer ran out and it reset everything, majoras mask felt more like stanley parable but more complicated

I might be wrong; but at the beginning I think you could have visited Zelda without learning Zelda's Lullaby. After talking to Zelda you could have savewarped back to Kokiri Forest to avoid talking to Impa. HOWEVER you would have still needed skip talking to Zelda anyhow because that would cause Saria to appear in the Sacred Forest Meadow and try and teach you Saria's Song when trying to reach the Forest Temple. EDIT: Turns out savewarping after talking to Zelda and skipping Zelda's Lullaby reverts Zelda's letter back to a Cucco.
