    Okay, but why are the skips enabled by the ocarina glitch not being referred to as Ocarina of Time-saves?
  • @myth1975
    We just found another 1 min timesaver, its a deathless version of Octo Clip that is a bit easier and much faster to retry. Because its deathless we can skip the extra bottle which is what saves the minute :D

    Edit: So I found out that Audacity was set to input audio at 66% of the volume for some reason, so that's why my voice was really low here. I also figured out how to EQ the mids at my speaking level, so I'll be fixing that for the next vid Hey all, I know there's some issues with the audio. I'm in a new house and am trying to adjust my microphone levels accordingly, unfortunately balancing that with the music is weird, especially since my editing software tends to make some of the music I'm using not seem as loud as it actually is. I can't fix it this time around, but we'll hone it in with the next video. Thanks for understanding

    I remember reading the Guinness Gamer records book in like 2009 and being amazed that my childhood game was beaten start to finish in about three hours at the time. Also, 1:45 "the blacksmith Link is staying with" is his GRANDFATHER. Like Yugi Muto getting upset because they stole "his card dealer's" prized card (and soul).
  • @irtehmrepic
    Yooo CrossCode music! Always love to see it get recognition. Maybe one day we could see a Swellman CrossCode video?
  • @deadair32101
    Why hello, Legend of Dragoon, how nice to hear from you this day
  • I love games about being tiny, they're so nice and cozy! (It's weird that it seems so cozy to be small in games but IRL being small is way more terrifying than being big)
  • @KainaX122
    Okay, but did they find an infinite shell glitch? Because I’d totally be okay with that.
  • @Sonic-oh2ly
    Why does it feel like in every zelda game with an ocarina, theres always some major glitch involving it?
  • @wombatpandaa9774
    Dude this is so nostalgic, Minish Cap was the first Zelda I beat and it's so underrated.
  • @Xarenth
    ooo im so excited for this i love minish cap but have never seen a speedrun of it hopefully there's some neat stuff!
  • @seceon4975
    Great video explaining the difference between routes (even tho some things are a little simplyfied 😅) love it and great job compiling all the info!
  • @lyde9272
    This probably could go a lot more viral if you left out some bigger parts but I actually love this type of content, feels like a detailed documentary with lots of love put into it
  • @Caspicum
    I think the best part of speedrunning isn't the fast play, or even the execution. For me, it's glitch discovery. Finding out new ways to interact with games is so gratifying, even if I can't execute them :^)
  • @lukecormier6913
    Gotta give props thanks for putting the sponsor at the start lol
  • @HoobriBoobri
    oooh I recognize Legend of Dragoon music so fast.... and its so precios
  • @Kaitri
    when i woke up today, i didnt expect youtube to recommend me a video that uses shreks onions as comparrison for the legend of zelda.
  • 12:58 I can't find this specific zeldalewd clip from toadswoot your talking about, do you have a link to it anywhere ?
