The Triforce% run from SGDQ 2022 is now on KZread! If you want to see the actual showcase with explanations of some of the beta elements that were included, check it out! ► kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZKyT0tOyosmfnKQ.html For clarification - lots of these beta assets were left in the game, but there was a decent amount of creative liberty to string them together to create a story to showcase them all. These were mixed in with urban legends to create the ultimate Ocarina of Time experience. Up until now ACE had really only been utilized to shorten the game by skipping areas or warping to the credits, but through this run ACE was used to bring to life a world of all the Zelda mysteries from years ago. A world from our imaginations, essentially. It was a truly remarkable project so I recommend watching the full stream if you have the time!

How has the community manipulated every minute bug in the game to such an extent?… it’s frankly incredible. I’d love to see the other two trifle each options be made… wait, one was for rupees… LETS MAKE ONE SUMMON MORSHU. They need to update the other two options to make the ruppee option let you fight morshu. Then morshu can truly be cannon(as long as you input millions of inputs during a glitch).

As a modder, they most *definitely* modded the game. What they did has every hallmark of game modding, except one: they modded it in real-time. The TASBot essentially just coded in all the references to beta assets where they existed, and coded in the data for things that didn't exist. I wouldn't be surprised at all to hear that they modded a ROM to do this in order to develop and bugfix it, then loaded the instructions for how to create the final product on the fly into the TASBot.

I remember reading about the different triforce theories as a kid. There were hundreds of different theories on how to obtain it. It never made sense to obtain the triforce this way though, since one piece was in Zelda, one in Link and one in Ganondorf.

I think like Link to the Past that only happens after Ganon touches it, they've traditionally said only one pure of heart and balanced in all three aspects can wield the full triforce. Once Ganon got it, he kept only power since it's what he wants most. So if Link never took the Master Sword, he never opened the door to the Sacred Realm and Ganon never got the triforce. Even in the original he already had it when the game starts, Zelda's was broken up and scattered, and though the courage piece is strangely never mentioned in the original, Impa does notice the mark on the back of Link's left hand implying he was connected with it.

Why does it not surprise me that something like this was at SGDQ. They are pros at pretending things are real when they are not.

should be named "how players hacked oot using ace to obtain the triforce"

I'm glad I watched this VOD blind. I've been a LoZ fan for a long time, but I was born after OoT was released and so never got to experience the culture of rumors that sprouted around it. Seeing people get so excited and nostalgic during this showcase not only gave me an idea of what that culture was like, it gave me the opportunity to experience it in some way right alongside everyone else. At the end of the presentation, one of the speakers stated that the team wanted this project to showcase the transformative potential of ACE and technical speedrunning and to counteract the popular narrative that these techniques only ever "destroy" source games. It was an exercise in both honoring and building on the legacy of a deeply loved game. I think they did exactly that. Zelda has been a big part of my life for a long time, which is a major reason why the ending resonated with me. These games have come a long way, and I love the community that has grown around them. I will remember Triforce% fondly for a long time.

At first I was just thinking, wow, they modded in all the things that everyone talks about on KZread. But that end scene turned it almost into a tribute, from the gamers to the game itself. It really hit me when the music shifted at the end, though. Music is such a big part of these games, and the background music had recognizable themes from so many games at once. It was really emotional for me.

It's always been funny to me how anyone who believed they could obtain the entire triforce totally missed the part of the story where Link does in fact carry a piece of the triforce.

@@darkjanggo What an unnecessarily sour take. The N64 may be my childhood console, but I can’t blame newer generations for finding uninteresting because of its obsolete graphics and gameplay. We are blessed that, in spite of its primitive capabilities, there are gen z gamers who enjoy creating for the console. It’s pretty surprising how N64 homebrew keeps chugging along. Everything has an end, let aging gamers enjoy themselves while they can.

Such a touching video. So many memories of countless hours playing this game over n over.

Ocarina was never a nostalgia game for me but this makes me really want to read back through the development discord and just see everything come together over the years

The fact that someone actually used ACE to code all of this into the game is absolutely incredible to me. Technically, this is the base cartridge. I find this to be an incredible feat of software engineering, these people are incredible.

How did that alternate ending make me cry?! I got this game brand new for my 9th birthday. I played until my thumb bled, I sprained it, and then I played some more. I literally put my blood, sweat, and tears into this game. I grew up with all of those rumors. I believed almost all of them as a kid and some of them into my late teens. It was the first game that I had ever finished 100%. This game was, is, and always will be a fucking masterpiece. ❤️

In TIME this full game will come to even greater glory. That would be amazing with planning impossibly good.

One of my great comforts is knowing how important Zelda oot and Zelda generally has been for so many people. I feel a little less alone.

I think you didnt understand, this was done in real time on real hardware using an unmodified cartridge. Through ACE and SRM with the help of TASbot. This is insane amount of work, not just some rom hack they've been creating. They are basically creating everything you see in this video in real time only using what's possible within the limits of the hardware, engine and cartridge itself. While the game is playing. So this is technically achievable on YOUR copy of the game, on YOUR console, if you could setup TASbot correctly with 4 controllers. In comparison, it's a bit like the Pi speedrun on Pokemon Yellow. It's achievable on the real game, just not by human means as it requires an insane amount of precise inputs.

@@cyn1stre Nah they definitely made the content they added in ahead of time. The ACE they did was to make files not normally compatible with OOT run within it through RAM by doing the right inputs in the right time and place to make the game allow it, rather than modifying the cartridge ahead of time. Still impressive, but it would be by definition a mod still, just done in a completely different way than one would typically create a mod, by doing it with RAM.

they can't, you can only speculate based on asset names. decompiling code can never bring back the original. it comes back in assembly which reveals almost nothing except what bits go where in memory and from there you can you can find out what it sort of did but the strings can't come back. when articles say things about data miners looking through code, they are actually way off the mark. Data miners look through the game files for asset and map names, not code. if you want to see first hand on what reverse engineering looks like you can always look for videos about ghidra which is a decompiler mostly used for researching malware.
