Personally I think this PIII 1 GHz comp slow because of it's lack of decent peripherals...needs more RAM, needs more hard drive, needs better processor, needs an actual video card and not the onboard piece of crap...oh...and my mobo can't support AGP...

Considering that if I didn't know anything about comps that this should've originally been dead in the summer of '02 (processor fan, although I need another one now)...and then again in the spring of '03 (first WD 60GB hard drive fKitten Yiffer, replaced with Maxtor 60GB) ...I think I've kept it going rather well.

But hey...a bleeding edge comp wouldn't be bad either. :\

I see, I thought it was a old laptop. How would I know you bought it brand new last summer? You hadn't said exactly when you bought it...

And heh, I just replied to that Zelda quiz. I seldom check Brain teasers so I don't notice it right away.

But then I managed to break the "Do not edit a post" rule. Oh well, no big deal. I could gain rupees later on. I did get one point after all. >.>

I did rush my answer too much, without thinking on that rule. But I don't break rules like that twice.

I'm not exactly a big Zelda fan but i'm more aware about the Gamecube and N64 zeldas than the older one. Thought I am catching up with them, starting with the oldest ones.

Heh, I want to finish the Hard quest on the first Zelda. >>;

Not only that, you were wrong

And the second quest isn't harder, Kitten Yiffer, it's just different. And you have to play some of the dungeouns out of order

I would disagree about the second quest not being harder than the first, but I haven't played the original in awhile.

Oddly, I was never a big fan of Zelda besides Zelda II (Which I apparently DON'T own the record for Fastest New Game + completion on...oh well, I'll still let everyone see the video) and Link to the Past. I should really give OoT another shot though.

Well, Zelda II is the most tedious Zelda game (tedious in being hard). After that it's Wind waker. (i'm not saying it's bad, but treasure hunting get's boring quite quickly.. and the triforce shards collecting wasn't that... fun )

The second quest is harder. Or well, it could be just me not used to things.

Oddly SMB also had a second quest, intresting that the first generation games had a second quest. Well SMB3 had a "You get alot of Power wings when you finish the game" thing. But heh... that was kinda useless anyway. (I get bored on the game when i've beaten it )

Hmm. You sure about that? You could've just seen a savestated movie, and those don't exactly count :p

No, it wasn't a video, I chanced to looked at someone's record page on Twin Galaxies and saw they had a time of something like 44:50.

Ah. It's actually 44:40. Beatable, but not easily.

How much stock you put into this depends on how much you trust TG (Especially since the normal NES referee didn't enter this particular score. O.o). I do know that name from other Zelda games, though, and the time is definitely humanly possible (If not easy to obtain).

As a random aside, any savestate Zelda II videos tend to use the Japanese version (Because Famtasia, for awhile the NES emu of choice for save-state runs, crashed when you tried to use elevators in the US version), which has completely different routes (Due to the fact that you have to stab items in order to pick them up in the Japanese one; providing my palace routes in the US version are optimal, you should ALWAYS be going through the doors to the items as a Fairy).

As another random aside, the route I'd use to beat 44:40, in video form, would paradoxically fall under the category of "More impressive, but ultimately less entertaining".

Go for it anyway. I don't care if it's less entertaining, I want to see it done anyway.

Kitten Yiffer: AoE/AoM are two different series technically, according to the Gamespot explanation of the teaser.

Emptyeye: That sucks. :\ But hey, a record's a record - so go for it. Even if you hate the method.

It isn't even so much that I hate the method...I did it myself several times in seeing if a sub-45-minute game was possible. Indeed, the route itself requires a knowledge of the game far beyond the casual player.

The problem is that certain points will end up being "impressive" in the same way that the old tool-assisted Dragon Warrior videos were impressive (Attacking the Dragonlord for 1 point of damage ad nauseum)...I simply don't think it would be as entertaining to watch.

Note that you can probably figure out what it is I'd be doing if you know the game. Suffice to say that not counting magic/life containers or 1-ups, I grab a total of ONE unnecessary item through the game.

No can't think of anything. Honestly, I haven't played Zelda II in a long, long time. I suppose I could go play it (I do have a copy of it and a working NES after all) but...

I can't think of what method it is, either. What makes it less entertaining than your normal method? *Interested*

This map of the first palace basically gives it away. (I didn't make the map; just the little lines that show the routes through the palace)

You'll note that besides the fact I don't take a single key except for the boss key (Hooray for Fairy magic), I skip the Candle. This forces me to go through the caves in the dark..impressive in terms of skills, but you can't see what it is I'm doing, so it's really not very entertaining. At least as I see it..
