- Tries to complete the game as fast as possible without letting it get boring.
- The legend of Zelda, Links Awakening is a classic Game Boy Zelda adventure. Link must travel across the dream world of Koholint Island, collecting the 8 Instruments to wake the Wind Fish and go home after a terrible ship wreck.
- This game was reletively easy to manipulate. I heavily abused the warp glitch in the game and played just about the entire thing frame-by-frame. I wanted to redo this run because I noticed a few small errors that only frame-by-frame play could fix. I found a few shorter ways in my paths, saving me a second or two. During the boss battle I managed to get a few hits in sooner, and with frame-by-frame editing I was able to get the earlier possible frame for launching my power-up sword attacks. At the end of the battle, unlike the previous run, I was able to land the stairs the exact frame I was allowed to climb them.
- I took damage during the axe knight part of the battle to save time. Getting hit by the axes pushed me forward just enough to allow me a good swing at him at the earliest possible frame. Having him move the other way would have wasted time because I would have continued to get hit by the axes.
- All in all I saved 328 frames, or about 5.5 seconds. Not a vast improvement, but it certainly looks a lot more crisp to the eye then before.
