Zelda OoT Water Dungeon in 4.5 Minutes
 

Not including the boss fight.

Tool Assisted

This sh*t took me at least 15 hours and this guy does it less than 5 minutes.

Eeesh. Even with a guide, it'd take a normal human an hour or so.

This dungeon was pure torture.
He skipped a lot of it somehow... doesn't one obtain the longshot and fight dark link at this point in the game?

i think he was walking on air a couple times. he glitched the [censored] out of that game.

he was also using a n64 emulator (the delay when pulling up the subscreen is a bug in project64), but i dont know if he did anything special with it.

I like watching speed runs and such, but I don't like watching things when they are "tool assisted." I like watching them when I know they are doing exactly the same thing I was doing just much much more efficient and smarter. It's sorta like watching old Mario Kart 64 records and then seeing ones that were like "assisted by slowdown whatever, or some certain glitch that they created by using a certain system or tool." I guess I just don't see the point as much in taking on records with tools, but to each their own.

That was so dumb, I don't even care too much if runs are tool assisted or whatever but when you cheat that much, what's the point.

Quake Done Quick is still the most impressive one i've seen (Beating Quake on nightmare in 12 minutes.

I think you youtube description answers this question pretty well.

I used to try and do speedruns on Super Metroid on my own, without ever having looked at the internet to see what I was up against. This was back in 1997 or 1998 or so, so maybe that community hadn't even sprung up yet. I think I got my time down to something like 1:12 to beat the game, eventually, and thought that was incredibly badass. Seeing that the record for 100% completion was 0:55, I was definitely put in my place. It seems like the kind of thing where emulating those guys could have helped me get faster, but copying somebody else's approach to the thing seemed like the point where it officially stops being fun.
