  • Emulator: Snes9x v1.43+ v9
    • Use WIP1 Timing
    • Allow Left+Right / Up+Down
    • Volume Envelope Height Reading
  • Aims for fastest time
  • Abuses programming errors
  • Takes damage to save time
Description
This run is 174 frames (2.9 seconds) faster than OmnipotentEntity's existing run. Most of the improvements come from new tricks that involve doorways, stairs and pressing three directional buttons at once.
Credits
  • OmnipotentEntity
    • For the existing run, which also served as a guideline for the standard of this run. Also making suggestions and providing ideas of different methods to go about things.
  • dezbeast
    • Discovering two awesome tricks/bugs that contribute to most of the time saved in this run. Specifically, they are the "pixelporting" trick used through doorways and the bug used to bypass walking up stairs. Also providing a highly optimized WIP to set a standard for outside the castle.
  • comicalflop
    • Whose attempt to do the 100% run motivated me to try this game again. Also offering suggestions for alternate routes, attempts to do part of the run (which were unfortunately scrapped) and encouragement.
  • flagitious
    • Providing opinions and offering suggestions that ultimately affect this run in some way.
Please note that I used the same .smv that I used for my any% run a while ago as to avoid re-doing some parts, so the re-record count should only be around 3500.

Truncated: Accepted as an improvement to the published short version.
Bisqwit: Processing.

It's Zelda. It's fast. Need I say more? Besides YES, of course.

Voted yes. I believe this run is very close to perfect. I noticed you pressing R alot. Was that to manipulate?

Do you mean L and R? L is bound to the same button as fast-forward and R is bound to the same button as unpause, so you see me pressing those R periodically throughout the run. R doesn't affect anything other than toggling between view modes on the overworld map I think.

already voted yes as soon as it was submitted, having watched it and helped throughout with it during the making of. it was an honor to have worked alongside this, even though none of my significant TASing went into the actual product. and it's an excellent way to demonstrate the new techniques found in a run without having to wait many months, and 3 second improvement to an already tight movie; goes to show how much frames saved can really add up.

I didn't like this movie. Most of it is just Link running under a floor and then ten minutes of the rain sound effect. A nice improvement to the old run but I am voting no.

Yes vote, it's fine work, much like the old run but this time it's to the point in which I don't know if it's improvable.

Wow, I was so sure that the previous version was already perfect... That's a really nice trick with the doors! I was entertained enough by all the wobbling (the run was short, so it didn't get boring), but the random glitches near doors was even more interesting. I'm voting yes on this run.

Wow! A 76 minute 30 second improvement on the starred run! I'll vote for it. (yes I know this is an improvement to the other alttp run. I was trying to be funny.)

Nice improvement Erokky! :D Are we going to see the full game run too from you? ;) My Parallel Worlds run will probably take a loooong time to finish (If I do it at all). Whatever, yes vote.

Man you are going to smash my run aren't you. Nice job.
g,o,p,i=1e4,a[10001];main(x){for(;p?g=g/x*p+a[p]*i+2*!o: 53^(printf("%.4d",o+g/i),p=i,o=g%i);a[p--]=g%x)x=p*2-1;}

The credits of a game are still part of the "speedrun". Just because you can end input does not mean that the game is over.

Careful guys, Sakura is getting mad. She might slam her foot down on yours, or grow as big as a telephone poll and squash you! *pulls out The Big*

Boring as hell movie, but short and surprising way to finish a very well known game. Its an improvement none the less, and the differences were somewhat noticable might as well vote yes.

Thank you for making my day. Considering it's only 4:08 here, that is a good thing :) But in all seriousness, I actually laughed out loud (BMF was wondering what was so funny >_>) ... Reminds me even more to watch the series again. Regarding the movie, though, I'll wait for the non-glitch version again... although the fact even it abuses wobbling kind of stinks.
