Legend of Zelda Link to the Past - 3hr59min49 no glitches no saves Speedrun - Theforeshadower - 03-20-2015



Took a break from game creation to play one of my favorite games of all time.  This was streamed before a live audience so you will hear me interact with them.
That said, I made a few mistakes so the time could have been even faster.  Now, I've never looked at a guide for this game so I have no idea where the remaining hearts
pieces are located save for maybe 2.  I also forgot where the Cloak was as well.

I feel if I knew where those were at, I could have easily done a sub 5 hours 100% run.  Anyway, wanted to share this playthrough! Smile

I cut 45 minutes from my previous best time and I didn't even practice which is bizarre.

Didn't want to make a new thread (maybe this one should get renamed?).



Chip n Dale Rescue Rangers on NES!

Side note:  I also have a solid engine coded with AREA 0 part 1 laid out in full just in-case anyone wants to do an HD remake someday with me.  Tongue /plug

maybe you should name this thread with something related to speedrunning/how well you know a game. id go with just a plain old, "the speedrun thread," but thats just me. there are probably more creative names than that

actually relating to the thread, cave story is a game i love speedrunning. of course, i dont record the times or whatever, but its really not that difficult of a game if you just take the bad ending.

PFFT!  Naw....

Ballos is the only way for the run to feel complete....I still can't beat that son-of-a-gun, not even because of the boss itself, but trying to get to him with decent health.  I've seen the many ways to cheese him, but...

i mean, i can beat ballos. reaching to him at a reasonable time is the problem here. also, beating him on your first try is another thing too. sure, i can beat him in 8-10 minutes, (which is a damn slow pace) but the rng blocks + bosses + traversing = multiple tries.

the bad ending could work for the any% run category anyways.
