Everything else in between is just time management. The first day pretty much is the same as this vid, you have to get the arrows, get the goron mask, get bombs, do a goron bomb damage jump to get into great bay, get the zora mask and wallet upgrade before midnight, get the blast mask, save romani ranch. Any spare time in between tasks and before the morning, collect rupees or grab something you may have missed. I'm leaving out a shit ton of details cuz i can't possibly type them all out rn.

You can save Termina in one cycle of 3 days, but I wonder how many cycles and days cumulatively in Majora’s Mask actually went into knowing HOW to save Termina in one 3 day cycle! What’s neat about speed running is that it’s such a good example of how gaming intelligence evolves through the sedimentation of collective gaming experience and memory over huge periods of time. The amount of time this player played plus the amount of time other players played collectively to make knowledge of how to do this kind of run (and its strats) possible is actually wild.

My older brother did this decades ago. He wouldn't shut the fuck up about it for a month. I'm glad there is an internet now so I can get PTSD like memories of him running around with his cartridge yelling at all who would listen that he did it.

Great job planning, executing, and explaining all this! I had always wondered if it was possible. Now I just wish there was an animated speedrun video of link just zooming across termina with the happy mask salesman watching speechless.

You talking about TerminalMontage?

Damn majora's mask is one of my favourite games of all time, but I never even thought about how you don't actually need to kill the bosses until the very end. You only need the items and then dash outta there. That's super interesting. I did think the speedrun was in 1 cycle, or that there was a 1 cycle category at least, but if there isn't then this certainly should be one.

MM is really cool that only the dungeon items are needed to go through the world, opens everything up real fast!

The boost given by bomb + Zora form should be considered as a glitch. Still a lovely run.

I wouldn't say its a glitch. You aren't glitching the game just because the bombs launch Link a greater distance than a normal jump.

Honestly the most interesting thing about this run isn't even that you're managing to do this in a single cycle, but that I had absolutely no idea how non-linear Majora's Mask even is. Like, the idea that you could grab the Bow in the Forest Temple and then just drop that entire sidequest to head to the Mountain, Get the Fire Arrows in the Snow Temple, Skip all the way to getting the Powder Keg and have all 3 transformation masks + the Hookshot before you even beat the first boss wasn't something I ever thought to do.

@@Smiffic I don't think this is possible. The last stage of kafei and anju (sakons hideout) is 5pm on the 3rd night, you're in great Bay at this point (in this video) and once you leave sakons hideout it's already midnight on the last night (5/6 hours remain) If you can get great Bay done in those last hours AND get to the clock tower then you should be good. You'd have to route a lot better and probably play out of your mind to get it done seeing as you had 3 hours remain, maybe you drop the stray fairies? Idk. As much as I say this is impossible I'd love to see this play out. I'm sure someone could route it out.

Dr. Wily said that Link could get the light arrows to defeat Majora's Mask, but his chances of doing that without the Song of Time are extremely slim. Maybe that's the case if we're just analyzing the story, but you proved that so much more could be accomplished in just 3 days. Albeit with the Inverted Song of Time. If you tried this challenge WITHOUT the Inverted Song of Time though...

I never would've thought that it was possible! There were several times that my jaw dropped, and I wasn't sure if you would make it. Congratulations!

I've only played this game once, and it was many years ago, before youtube guide speedrun videos, so I don't remember most of the story lines, quests, map layout, dungeon strategies, etc. But I remember how much I enjoyed the experience. I've been feeling nostalgic lately. (Because being an "old man" in modern society kinda sucks, and I just want to pretend to be a kid again for a few days.) So your videos are definitely inspiring me to go dig my N64 and Nintendo Power game guide magazines out of the box in my closet soon. I'm hoping I can introduce the wifey to the game, and get her to love the experience as much as I did/will.
