Zelda Nes Second Quest in 38:19 (1/4) (No Up+A)

[Mirada84]

HOW THE FUCK DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHERE YOU ARE GOING!! I MEAN DAMN! i tried so hard on the second quest.

[Kainmaster]

Pardon my question but what's special with "No Up+A"? (Note: I haven't played this game in forever...)

[sprocket2005]

@Kainmaster basically it's a note that this uses a glitch free approach to zelda. no using the save and quit to restart and no screen warping more or less. It makes a person spend more time tracing backwards.

[thehmongspartan]

is there a difference between the 2 quests?



[catseatingclouds]

@thehmongspartan yeah. the second quest is ridiculously hard. i can beat the first quest in like an hour or so, but i've never even beat the first dungeon in the second quest. there's a few changes to the landscape, and the dungeon entrances are different. i can't imagine anyone beating it in the 80's.

i remember dying at least 25 times on the second level.... da da damn

If the brilliance and sheer genius used to master this game were used in other areas, we'd probably have a cure for cancer and there would be no more wars.

Badass boomeranging in the 2nd temple!!!

[epicdavid]

finally a speed run of this game thats not TAS....

[ShadowWolf401]

Wait.. what is the Up-A thing?? is it like the Left-Right / Up-Down in Link to the Past??

[NightSprinter]

@ShadowWolf401 When you pause the game, press Up+A to get the "Contine/Save/Retry" screen without dying. It sadly does count using this as a death.

[Fiercelinkx]

This is a tas, right?

[amy8lemon]

@Fiercelinkx I think this is 100% old school. No tools or anything. The guy is insane good.

[Fiercelinkx]

Omg

[reggiee111]

@Fiercelinkx "Second Quest Speed Run. No Up+A. Tool Assisted by Ross J. Miller in 38:19.84." Great job here, but does look like TAS to those interested.

@reggiee111 idk, i don't think it is. usually in tas speedruns people don't even get touched. he gets hit a few times
