The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening TAS in 3:49.28 by Swordless Link [HD]

***READ BEFORE WATCHING***

A tool-assisted speedrun of The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening by me.

Thanks to Brandon for encoding the run in HD. Check out his channel and subscribe to him: http://www.youtube.com/user/BrandMan211

"The Legend of Zelda - Link's Awakening is a classic Game Boy Zelda adventure. Link must travel across the dream world of Koholint Island, collecting the 8 Instruments to wake the Wind Fish and go home after a terrible shipwreck.

Swordless Link, however, decided collecting instruments for a one-man band was a waste of time, so he skipped all of that and went straight to the Wind Fish (with a pesky boss battle in the middle)."

This movie beats the previous one by 11 seconds, thanks to a new route in the dungeon, and further optimisation.

The actual movie page, as well as my comments on the run, can be found here: http://tasvideos.org/1122M.html

This movie was made on an emulator, with frame-by-frame shooting, savestates and rerecords. It is NOT meant to show skill; it is ONLY supposed to provide entertainment. Therefore, any anti-TAS comments will be deleted instantly. Try to remember that speedruns and TASes are different. Speedruns aim to show how skilled the runner is, and TASes aim to provide an entertaining video for the viewer. There's nothing more to it. Try to appreciate each category for what they are.

This run was made by me. It should not be uploaded without getting permission from me first.

If you enjoyed watching this video, then visit http://tasvideos.org/ for more information on tool-assisted speedruns, and to watch the many already-existing tool-assisted speedruns.

Note: This is the same run I already have uploaded. The only difference is the encode is much better. Look at the ending credits to see what I'm talking about.

"Zzz, I just warped the fabric of time and space and have beaten and been beaten by worse, at this point you're not even worth my time."

After Link gained phenomenal cosmic powers, he grew bored with his opposition, and became somewhat of an egotistical hero. All the better however, as he hits his enemies where it really hurts: their ego, leaving them behind in the dust while he undoes their messes and lets them sit in inescapable chambers to think about what they've done.
