Zelda: Link's Awakening TAS in 04:00 by Soulrivers

This my tool-assisted speedrun, meaning it's been recorded with an emulator using tools to slow the game down and savestates to get maximum precision.

My run completes the game with a screenwarp glitch which is used to warp to the last dungeon in very short playing time. This glitches the last boss and makes the fight shorter.

More info and glitches used can be found at http://tasvideos.org/1481S.html and video download at http://tasvideos.org/822M.html Enjoy.

What is meant by "Rerecord Count"?

[Soulrivers]

@CrazyBeatlesFanatic It is how many times I rewinded the game to a previous savestate to redo a certain section, as little as a frame sometimes.

actualy that was 2:30 the end scene doesnt count, niether does the time at the begining before you were out of the bed

[Soulrivers]

You're referring to SDA rules now. This video was made for TASvideos, which has other timing rules. Our timing rules are basically: from power-on until last input needed to finish the game (which usually is get to credits)

[chaosmaster07]

If tools are allowed, couldn't you develop/use a tool to take you straight to the final boss or the windfish screen immediately rather than go through all the other screens you visited to get there? I'm not familiar with TAS's, but if tools are fair game in them, wouldn't all of them have times of for example 10 seconds or less by just warping directly to the endgame and skipping everything the player would possibly have to do before then?

[Soulrivers]

Any warping like that would require editing the actual game, which is something we NEVER do in TASes - it's strictly prohibited. Anything we do in TASes is theoretically possible on a real console, except it'd be really hard with some of the luck manipulation and frame-perfect timing of the moves. "Tools" only means we slow down the game (and watch (mind you, not edit) memory adresses) to achieve perfection.

Alternate Ending:

Owl: WTF?! You have ruined this dimension!! The very f--ic of this--ality is fall-rbu-apart!! You mus-F--cxuei--et--vnr-fjkt0--b­-ere-3-5m *Owl explodes*

*explosions begin*

Windfish: I DON'T KNOW WHO THE HELL YOU ARE, BUT WE MUST GET OUT OF HERE IMMEDIATELY! QUICKLY! USE THE INSTRUMENTS TO PLAY THE SONG OF AWAKENING!!

A : ...I don't have any instruments...

Windfish: OH SHI-*dimension explodes*

At 2:48, the boss already realized that you just split him into two weak worthless glitch bosses. So he just let you end the game, rather than prolong his humiliation.

I also liked you at the beginning of the fight attacking the evil nightmares with the holy charged shovel.

[CrazyBeatlesFanatic]

@Soulrivers That's an average of 21 "recounts" per second, I would not have the patience for that, haha.

[Sarnahanfi]

i was exacty thinking about if you could end the game in like no time with this gitch, voilá! but it makes much more fun without ;)

[Samuslovr1]

[perun1nj]

[lewis128]

[GaussRifleGrunt]
