Dragon Quest, also known as Dragon Warrior in its initial North American localization, is the first game in the Dragon Quest franchise and one of the first JRPG video games ever created, setting in stone many of the tropes that would define the genre. The story in the game is very simple: an unnamed hero is tasked by the king of Alefgard to rescue his daughter and defeat the Dragonlord, who is threatening the kingdom and has stolen the legendary Sphere of Light.
TaoTao in this run completes the game in less than seven minutes by utilizing a significant glitch in the Japanese version that corrupts the RAM, making the game think the Dragonlord was already defeated and the kingdom saved. For further details on how this was achieved, you can read the author's notes.
