@TonyJ93 Wow youtube is so anti-link. You'll have to make the URL I put look just like it is, meaning remove the unnecessary hyphens that get added when you try and paste it.
@HdScapeOMNI The time it takes for the heart container dialogue is negligible. However, if you can do it without getting hurt 3 times, then by all means don't get more hearts.
@Templar679 YEAH! I should have gone to the future and found that it was possible, then gone back in time just like Link and then used it in my speedrun!
The R+B down slash uses the same damage as the last attack used. The deku stick jump slash is the same damage as the master sword jump slash (2x the koriki sword). Basically, he loaded the highest damage attack available to him, which let him finish the boss in 2 hits instead of the normal 3
no, and it doesn't have to. The crouch stab copies the damage of the last attack you did, regardless of whether it hit or not. For most bosses, this is the fastest way. Just wait til you see how he completes the shadow temple boss lolololol
I don't know, I practice each segment before attempting it until I feel I'm ready. Sometimes several hours. Sometimes it's just one trick that I need to practice over and over. Other times it's the flow of the whole segment together. Just kind of depends.
One trick I noticed you didn't exploit was in the room where you have to push the block into the hole. You can pull the block by it's edge and continuously pull until it is in the hole, instead of having to get on the other side of it and push.
True, but the megaflip and bombchu ground jump hadn't been found yet, those both probably save the 50 seconds alone. I had a lot of little mistakes in this one that add up in the end to about 10 seconds worth of mistakes.
Yep it is. But ya, you are AMAZING. How long has this overall taken you to get your suboptimal or optimal time runs in total (if that even made sense). You must have this game memorized and the glitches you do to help you skip certain parts are fucking cool :D.
Well I had played this game for several years and knew a lot of it. I got interested in glitches around 2006, and that's when my level of play really picked up.
In the keese room, wouldn't it be beneficial to bomb hover to the block and skip a couple rooms? Or does that even work? I know you'd have to kill the keese too probably, but just a thought.
Yeah, I mentioned that room in my comments. I had a very smooth looking run (better megaflip, better transitions, etc.) and I did bomb hover there and it was still slower than the run I have up now. I don't think I can do it fast enough to make it worth it. If done at it's best it saves maybe 5 seconds.
i guess this is a little late considering you posted this back in december, but nice segment. only you could have thrown the bomb into the mouth a tiny bit earlier both times, you dont have to wait until his mouth actually opens (the moment it does, the bomb goes in). barely saves time, but just so u know.
That was amazing. You should seriously consider doing a bottle adventure run at some point. I know Kazooie plans to do one, but he's PAL, and you're NTSC, so you still could.
Also, it's a shame that you had already done this much of the run before that trick which lets you skip bomb hovering over King Zora was found, since it allows you to do Jabu-Jabu's Belly first, which is ultimately faster than doing Dodongo's Cavern first.
I don't backflip and explode the bombchu, the bombchu explodes because it's timer is up.
What I do is this: After lining up, I pull out the bombchu. It flashes red. What I do is count the flashes. The first four are slow...the next four are a bit faster. So I count like this: 1....2....3....4..1..2..3..4
And as I say the second '4' in my head (or out loud if you want to do that first), I drop the bombchu with R and immediately roll (still holding R).
The roll is important..you want the shortest roll possible. So this is how it works:
Hit R and hold to drop bombchu and hold shield. Immediately push joystick forward and hit A once to roll, and then immediately push and hold the joystick backward and mash A for the backflip that becomes the megaflip.
Hope that helps. Don't be discourged if you don't get it on the first try, but try to understand why it didn't work.
For me, ususually if it doesn't work it's the timing. If you roll too late, the bombchu explosion will hurt you. If you do it too early, the explosion won't be close enough to you to give you the boost.
I know this vids old, but how did you jump up to the switch at around 0:49?

@TonyJ93 I stored a ground jump off the bomb flower using one of my bombchus. For more info check out:

why did you take the stick out while jumping?
Fdenniz91 2 years ago
The R+B down slash uses the same damage as the last attack used. The deku stick jump slash is the same damage as the master sword jump slash (2x the koriki sword). Basically, he loaded the highest damage attack available to him, which let him finish the boss in 2 hits instead of the normal 3
Sveet 2 years ago
huh? when attacking king dodongo he uses the ducking thrust.. he only used the jump attack to go down the hole. did that hurt the boss?
Fdenniz91 2 years ago
no, and it doesn't have to. The crouch stab copies the damage of the last attack you did, regardless of whether it hit or not. For most bosses, this is the fastest way. Just wait til you see how he completes the shadow temple boss lolololol

No one has a run with a faster time than this, at least not to my knowledge (3 stones and 3 medallions no BA).
And yea, it would be faster, but I don't think the bombchu megaflip clip past King Zora was known yet.
