Edit: Almost forgot, a real human-played run One hour, 39 minutes


Yeah, I completely don't know what I was thinking when I posted the above post.

Are the torrents pretty active though? Guess I'll just have to check some out.

I can agree with this, after seeing how much the L+R / U+D trick was used to walk through holes in this. Still interesting and fun to watch how perfect he was against the bosses and whatnot.

But yeah, I completely forgot about that site FreeDOS. Any kind of special player out there that plays all of those files, or just stick to the emulators?

I'm interested to check out the real speedrun for this game. Wasn't it around 3 hours and something?

I think I remember that one...it was done some time ago.

That was the one where they continually used the L+R or U+D trick to have Link gain some speed throughout the entire run. Normally, you wouldn't be able to do that with a normal controller.

Still, it is fun to see that game be beat in the time it was. Even the <4 min one has SOME merit of watching.

Heh, Im going to download this and then watch it (If I can)

Last night I pretty much skipped around between the dungeons, seeing how he did that... I noticed some of the tricks he used that had to be tool assisted (Especially the walk over holes by having a rapid fire controler that presses every frame)

Use the official site, and it is indeed cool

or you can also watch one in three minutes and 48 seconds

Wow.

Tool assisted and some tricks here and there, but still pretty cool.
