Submission Text Full Submission Page

Link once again saved Hyrule. Almost saved it, Ganon isn't death.

Game objectives

Emulator used: lsnes-rr1-delta17
Heavy glitch abuse

Comments

This is an improvement of 1 and an half minutes over the published run.
First Tompa created some 2:19.68 run, which I improved by adding a damage boost and a different strat going to Ganons room.

Tricks

Faster running: By alternating between left and left+right or up and up+down, Link walks faster.
Narrow passage boosting: In narrow passages Link can walk very fast.
Moon-jumping: This works because the game thinks Link is on a different floor than expected.
Screen-scroll glitch: By pressing left+right when entering a door Link will appear on the other side.

Thanks to

Tompa for making a run. Yuzuhara for finding a lot of tricks.

Hello. Is it me you're looking for?

"Genuine self-esteem, however, consists not of causeless feelings, but of certain knowledge about yourself. It rests on the conviction that you — by your choices, effort and actions — have made yourself into the kind of person able to deal with reality. It is the conviction — based on the evidence of your own volitional functioning — that you are fundamentally able to succeed in life and, therefore, are deserving of that success." - Onkar Ghate

Nice run. Though you should really mention Yuzuhara in the submission, considering he found all the new glitches that were used in the run.

Very nice improvement. It sounds like the input is based on Tompa's so I think he should be added as a co-author. I'd also like to see a description of that crazy jump.

This signature is much better than its previous version.

Faster Text, I guess. And everyone TASed the Japanese version.
So....you aren't really certain if it does have an advantage? Like differences in RNG due to text?

There is not much RNG in this run, except for the guards.

I misread the timestamp in the thread so I was expecting 20 minutes of crazy gameplay. Then barely over one minute in, suddenly BOOM! You win. I love runs like that :)

Just mentioning that I have improved this with about 2 seconds already. Will submit when it's optimised enough.

Because Tompa made an improvement, that he'll probably submit soon.
