Welcome in the age of retro engineering

It was great seeing you showcase the crazy rbm strats to the general public. No one knew what was even happening.

15:42-16:02 I always attributed the fact that Link can ride vents without the sailcloth is so he can use them in the Silent Realms (Specifically Eldin's Silent Realm). I don't know how the developers programmed the section, but it would appear that it takes all your items, including the sailcloth (I think?). Therefore, it would be impossible to go to the top of the mountain without it. Of course, it could also just be lazy programming, but I digress.

Just a standard dev sanity thing. If getting to an area requires the usage and/or ownership of a specific item, and it's intended to be impossible to get to that area _without_ using that item, then it's usually safe to assume that any player in that area has that item. Since none of the vents are intended to be accessible before you get the sailcloth, there's no reason to have the game specifically check for an item you're "guaranteed" to have by the time you encounter a vent.

@Supperman88

3 жыл бұрын

@@MrOmegatronic It has been awhile since I posted that, but nothing wrong with that. I agree with you on most/all fronts. I do think that there is slightly more at play here, however, because the game does not draw the sailcloth when you go up a vent without having it in your inventory. That is why I brought up the Sacred Realms; since they take away your items, and vents exist in them, they needed to have Link be able to climb them without the sailcloth I.e. the “hold my hands above my head like I have the sailcloth propelling me up, sans sailcloth” animation. But this animation is not locked to Sacred Realms; it does the same thing when you climb the vent without a sailcloth in your inventory. That being said, yes, the vents are usable regardless, and your reasons are sufficient.

@MrOmegatronic

3 жыл бұрын

I see what you're getting at, @@Supperman88. That sounds like a good point, and probably explains why the game doesn't crash looking for an animation that isn't there, or something. (As compared to landing in an area, which is basically an interactive cutscene, and thus probably already has a specific pre-assigned animation, regardless of whether you have the sailcloth or not.)

Excited to watch, glad you were able to run this at AGDQ with all the recent improvements!

I'm so used to how the current run works it's so weird to see this version from just a year ago. It's insane how much time has been saved since then.

Having really only played Breath of the Wild it is really interesting to see the early stages of some of the ideas they were wanting to have in the 3d zeldas. Lots of fun to go back in time, so to speak.... I will take my leave now

WOW that run time has improved drastically

3:52 I love how he explained the punchline, which makes jokes unfunny, and it was still fucking hilarious. Never change, Gymnast.

This is I believe the only speedrun I’ve ever gone back to rewatch in its entirety. Gymnast, you are fantastic to watch and listen to. I am astounded by how much info you can impart while playing, that seems like it should be incredibly difficult!

Thank you so much! I sadly missed since it was in the middle of the night in my timezone, so happy to see it uploaded so fast :)

Super hyped to see this run at AGDQ! It's cool hearing all the tricks be properly commentated. The honking didn't bother me too much, but maybe I'm just used to GDQ runs and their constant injokes, lol.

Always doing a good job gym. Thank you for your hard work and awesome content

I definitely couldn't get to seeing gdq at this time. Thanks for putting the video up so quickly!

👏👏👏 the whole run and especially that very last fight was so good! and i love how whenever i don't have time to watch a run in a good few months, the run will be so different. and i thought i knew all the (casual) details about this game, like the red rupee in the owl's eye, but even i didn't know about the hidden rupee in the beginning of lanayru and the skyward stab!

Nice run and amazing work on the blindfolded Demise Gymnast!

I like to occasionally come back to this so I can watch it while eating snacks.

i applaud your technical prowess on this run - also i applaud Nintendo's attention to detail, the stalfos' ribs break as they lose health.

Dunno why everyone's so riled up by the Honks. Yea, they don't add much, but crowd engagement creates a more positive attitude and it helps with extra donations, and not just for the incentive itself. Look at Keizaron's Pokémon Gold run from last SGDQ, the Raikou nickname DIO?!?! got a couple of special donations and the crowd yelled it every single time it was sent out, nobody really complained back then. Gym's the only reason I got into Skyward Sword, love his positive attitude and the way he can explain stuff as complicated as everything BiT so everyone watching at least gets the basics of it, so this was another amazing treat for myself. PS: HONK! Edit: just noticed the title is wrong, you finished at 2:25:36, not 2:26 :)

I don't get the honk meme at all, but yeah, like normal people should, I don't find it cringy or annoying to the point I blame them for it. Especially when it wasn't that often compared to some other recurring memes in event like this. The crowd was actually mostly respectfull on that matter to be honest, just honking as it shows up and trying to not make it too long. Gymnast and his couch were still able to perfecetly explain everything so.

me looking at the other run - "oh wow that's pretty fast, 5 hours" me seeing this - "tf how"

2:25:15 shows how much gymnast has mastered the combat in the game to the point where he can do that while blindfolded.

When he pulled out the blindfolds I completely lost it

This will be one of my favorite runs ever
