24 Hours in Ocarina of Time VR ► • Why Spending 24 Hours ...
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is a game that is by far one of my favorite titles to watch speedruns for. The fact that the game takes place across different times make it all the more hype once warps occur. However, something monumental has just occurred that has redefined the experience. Link has become a god and the game is now putty in his hands. Join me for an extensive breakdown around Stale Reference Manipulation (SRM), Arbitrary Code Execution (ACE), and how all of it comes together so that Link can defeat Ganondorf without ever leaving Kokiri Forest.

I've been working on this one for a LONG time, but since new updates kept coming out, I decided to hold off until the full potential of the discoveries could be realized. So this was a few months in the making, but watching this unfold during all that time has truly been amazing.
Swanky could you make a video or explain me where do the crocodiles corpses from the Super Mario Maker 2 background comes from?
Mi pregunta es como aprendiste español y por que lo quisiste aprender?
What else is amazing?
Ok
The OoT/MM subcommunity within the overall Zelda community has just been gradually descending into madness and now we have multiplayer online randomizer versions of the games and an eight-minute speedrun for OoT. What a world.
Scientists: We have ACE for OoT.
Casuals: Let's Any% to credits.
Pros: Let's program DK Rap.
Scientists: "that's not how it works. that's not how any of this works"
Casuals: "r/whooosh"
Pros: "Lets make the Arwing do a Barrel Roll"
have pros done that yet?
What is ACE?
@@biggbals4375 watch the video
biggbals A Cool Ending.
That's a brutal thumbnail.
I can just hear ganon screaming
I can't believe Ganondorf is fucking dead
It’s probably what Link did as soon as he traveled back into the past again.
Link makes Gannon go deletus
Lol so true
Link being able to manipulate reality and rewrite his own existence is breaking the 4th wall to a whole new level.
Even Deadpool would know there's a line to be drawn... and Link thanos'd that line to oblivion.
link has the thanos mask
Sounds like Eren Jaeger
Master sword Requiem
how?
I love how in context this speed run actually makes sense with the plot of ocarina of time. Instead of wrong warping to a ganon fight and messing with temporal mischief you instead just don’t ever acknowledge the deku tree and by default the game ends. Ganondorf never enters the sacred realm, he is eventually discovered when the gorons and zora tell the king what happened, and link just stays there and does nothing.
For once it actually makes complete sense as a speed run. No BLJing into the void. No freaky time travel. Link just decides to take a page out of Luigi and win by doing absolutely nothing.

Mario and Fox: What? That's not possible!

I mean they do ACE in Mario World don’t they
@@thatoneguy9582 That's fair, but as he said, ACE in OOT is way more versatile, useful, and powerful.

6:12 I expect TerminalMontage to make a new animation for OoT very soon
After all, he's already made a huge meme with Fox and Mario in his animations
Well, the speedrun at this point is basically gonna be link doing a bunch of things and breaking time to reach the end. Not that'd wouldn't be funny.

why........just why........
Christopher Moon If anything it would be ScottFalco. He already made an OOT speedrun animation for the previous method of speedrunning the game.
How are you everywhere? I saw you on Mayro's video too
The title is misleading tbh.
Alright. I'll bite onto this one.
How do you figure, Mr. UA-cam Comment Man?
@@DooyevenTriforce Well considering the use of time travel (Which could potentially be used to rewrite one's own existence) in OOT, it makes way more sense to presume that this would be a theory revolving around that, rather than ACE. ACE is the player interfering with values in the game that affect items and cutscenes, so it isn't Link that's being rewritten and it isn't Link doing it. I already knew about ACE, but I clicked on this video regardless because the title lead me to believe that this video wouldn't be about that, as there isn't really any correlation there, par the game itself. So yeah, I felt a tad mislead, and I commented on it... Excuse me princess.
Fune friendly reminder that insulting makes you as sensitive as the person you’re responding to
@@biggaburns7332 If you're talking about the princess thing, that was more of a reference than anything else.
I agree with @Fune. I really thought it was gonna be about how Link rewrites his own existence story-wise, not gameplay-wise.
OoT Link's connection with the player is getting deeper. This is how he finds such abilities. Through his master
"Haha cool glitch, you can boomerang a door"
We didn't knew it but at that momentthe game was sweating profusely
On the one hand, I acknowledge that shifting ACE to its own category would probably be healthier for any%. But on the other, there really isn’t too much difference between ACE and other wrong warps.
That’s why I think wrong warps in general should be a separate category. But that’ll never happen.
When you look at this the series makes sense no more.
You mean the game or the channel?
@@DDRhappiness17 The series
Lmao time for the Official Zelda Timeline V99999
Your everywhere! I can’t escape you. I see you more than OwO
I found you again
I mean, when you think about, Link did rewrite his existence in OoT.
The original timeline was the one where he lost to Ganondorf.
Yet in OoT, he won.
Link Except how they’ve all merged into the BoTW timeline.
@Link I say original because it came first. Until OoT, the Downfall timeline was the only timeline.
This one he erased Ganondorf from existence like it was The World over heaven or something like that.
Link: Reality can be whatever I want.
Thank you for properly crediting all the people you referenced. It is nice to see that.
Nabooru quoted, "I'm going to make Ganondorf and his minions (Twinrova) pay for they have done to me!, and I have to guard the Spirit Temple more carefully!" When they are at the Chamber of Sages for the last time. I can after clearing the Shadow Temple or before the Shadow Temple to help out Impa out. By the way, Impa is a Shadow Sage, and Nabooru is a Spirit Sage.
Thank you for actually covering this and working with Mrcheeze unlike all those other clickbait articles I’ve seen.
Can you make a theory for the dead crocodiles corpses in Super Mario Maker 2 in the backgrounds? I am still wondering who could those crocodiles could be... Hope you read this and know what I mean Swanky... 🙏🤔🙂
Your videos are great as you give action to the setting and music that fit your voice. Cheers
I haven't played smm2 but I have seen pics of them
I would actually be really interested to see swanky make a vid on this
Could you guys send a link because I haven’t seen the crocs
Melee Fox: I can do an endless combo making preasure at the same time
TAS Mario: well I can do a BLJ creating endless amounts of speed that let's me go beyond the boundaries of this universe
ACE Link: Pathetic, I could just rewrite reality and delete both of you out of existance.
This is just the entire JoJo bizarre adventure eyes of heaven plot all over again.
If ace is considered speedrunning then clicking credits just after a title screen for any game would do just as well.

The current WR has 4 minutes and 3 seconds of actual control over link, the rest is cuscenes and text.
2 years later and we are at stages where literally an entire multiverse can be manifested in to this game, from what started as simple code manipulation has ended up in literally your words "rewrite existence" it's possible to rewrite ANYTHING and EVERYTHING in to this game that the hardware can handle, OoT has officially become it's own creation tool and Link is the GOD of creation to this universe in a sense, it is actually incredibly fascinating, even though it's time consuming, it is definitely possible.
It’s really cool how there are things that are being found years after release.
Nobody talks about how Child Link is possessing his older self... No-one asks what happens to the Link he was possessing when he gets "returned to the past." at the end...
Timeline split
@@evitare8714 I know.
I am not a speed runner or a glitch hunter, but I do watch lots of speedruns and demonstrations for Ocarina of Time, and the thing is is that the payload you can enter for ACE is limited to only a few characters; practically the only reason useful stuff can be done with ACE is because of the non-English text characters that can be used during file creation. There is a way to enter any payload you want, but this requires an hour of setup with nothing going wrong. So even if ACE isn’t banned, there are still problems with using it as a speed strat. It should be faster than current runs, but not by quite so much.
Also with 100% in particular, there is an extra protection called the “source requirement”. Basically, if you get an item using glitches, it doesn’t count for completion, you have to get the item from its original intended source. ACE could probably still save time somehow in 100% runs, but the fact that you can’t just ACE yourself 100 skulltulas, for example, means 100% might not even need to ban it. Though I think they did vote to ban it in 100% already, but I don’t remember for sure, and it isn’t my point/what I’m trying to communicate.
Link don’t need no dang Ocarina or fancy Sword to cross time and space and beat Ganon, he can do so near-instantaneously with the power of his mind and a small pebble or two. PEBBLE POWER, WHOO
I don't understand the controversy around ACE. Categories exist for a reason. Speedrunning is all about the logical extremes, and with that comes debate about fairness and balancing of the fastest logically possible with what's fun, but that's why categories were created. They didn't suddenly vanish, so there is no reason for concern (or complaining). The community will split the runs, and everyone will be content, end of story.
I think that genuinely a lot of people arent really aware of categories or how they work. The assumption from a lot of people that seem to not be as familiar with speedruns is that there are only any% or any%/100% categories and nothing else inbetween, not even for popular communities. Which is very far from the truth and difficult to explain to people.
The point I'd argue is the game is not being beaten, but being glitched to the end. To beat a game you needed to actually play the game for real as intended at some point, and at least beat the final boss.
But if they glitch directly to the final boss, then you're okay?
@@BurnsyRuns Nope. Not in a sense of beating the game because like I said the game must be played at some point as intended. whether that's collecting an item or just beating one dungeon or something but it has to be done. Glitching to the finish is cool but it's not beating the game.
I need to go and see where papa footdaddy Zfg is standing with this. I guess I just need to pimpslap Dry and make him churn out at least 10 videos a day to assert dominance and stake the Zfg flag....
So just Minecraft creative mode, ACE should be in its own category. This is better then the SMW credits warp.
It's actually the same thing just more complex
Thankfully it has its own any% category already even though half the comment section thinks there's still controversy for some reason.
RIP Totally Legit OOC speedrun.
Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.-jurassic park
Well any minute now, we'll have Flappy Link.
Was waiting for this to be covered!
Just realized, the day u posted this video on wont come again for another 4 years..
And now people remember the reason Link has his name and the fact that he doesn't talk is because he isn't a character itself, he's the literal link between you and the game.
You are the protagonist in OoT, and the game concept of OoT is the main protagonist rewriting time and thus reality.
All those songs that let you manipulate time, weather and space was your novice training.
And ACE is just unlocking your full potential.
ACE Link is canon!
From the title, I thought this was going to be another metaphysical, hypothetical, overthinking video. Instead it was highly technical. Arbitrary code execution in OoT is a pretty big deal though. I kind of wonder how the developers of this game would feel watching this video!
Yeah, he canonically SPLITS THE TIMELINE INTO THIRDS!!!!!
One the one hand, ACE is incredible. But on the other, it's a little too much so. When you can warp to the credits from Kokiri Forest, it kinda makes the idea of "beating the game" ring hollow, and it just feels pointless at that point. Even the 100% category feels meaningless.
They probably won't just forget about it, but ACE speedruns probably won't be very popular. But you're right that there's a bunch of other cool stuff that can be done with it besides speedrunning. Like maybe we can actually get the Triforce like people thought we'd be able to back in the late 90's and early 2000's.
This is where categories come into play. ACE is restricted to certain categories so that it doesn't render the standard, more fun ways of speedrunning obsolete. IIRC, Any% has ACE allowed and the No ACE category is essentially the old Any%
@@LilacMonarch This. Thankfully ACE didnt affect the main 100% category anyway, but either way, categories will be the saving grace.
Would be anything else to discover from this game. It's been decades since it was released and gamers still talk about the greatness of this title. Btw, love this video.
Oh my gosh, that freaking Thumbnail!
I’m pretty sure Swanky predicted this thumbnail in a minus cast. And the minus world lore deepens...
1:43 NatalyaHasDied is such a cool username!!! lol I I THINK that is a reference to the N64 game Goldeneye 006. Natalya was the worst partner ever on one specific level. You have to cover her and make sure no one shoots her as she is gathering data from computers. It is so annoying because the guards always go right after her and she glitches quite often. She always got stuck on doors and tables. I think we all remember the NATALYA HAS DIED message...
Oh, those were the days...
The thumbnail is what we all wished we could do in the beginning of the game.
Pretty interesting! Thanks for uploading!
Link over here looking like Chucky from childs play in the thumbnail. No wonder ganondorf looks so horrified!
Makes the speedrunning of Any% super hollow and unhyping :( Hope it gets its own category soon.
2:30 all I see is a screaming Goron in the walls on the right tbh
I love these videos about people "breaking" Ocarina of Time. It's a great look, not only at how glitchy the game actually was in its original "golden cartridge" release, but also at how the different aspects of the game interact behind the scenes in the code.
The game voted best game of all time, broken beyond recognition. This is what love for something creates
The title was total clickbait wow. Love yah swanky but don't let fame and fortune rule you. Less you be the same as these other sheep.
Other Zelda Players:
Me: When I was 12 I played Ocarina of Time and died a lot.
Okay, but Arbitrary Code Execution is more powerful than just beating the game quickly. You can use it to read whatever code you want. Give players a level editor in Mario World? Read Twitch chat from within Pokemon Blue?
At this point, Link's not a god. He's orders of magnitude above god.
Link can now meet the three Goddesses face to face in Korkiri Forest and put the Triforce in his tree house.
I clicked this video to see the content in the title.
this video is bananas I can't believe such an incredible exploit was discovered
This comment is bananas and I'm glad you typed it.
I have dont the the slightest clue what this guy is talking about, but I could listen to him rambling on for hours.
Buzz: temporal paradoxes, temporal paradoxes everywhere
I was expecting a video about Zelda lore and time travel, and it ended up being about speed running.
I was hoping he'd cover FrankerB and Arwings because that would fit the title of the video so well.
TerminalMontage needs to look into this
Speaking of this game, theres at least 1 door we can't enter in this game (i think theres 2 or 3 actually, but i know for sure 1)...one being the side door of hyrule castle...swanky, I want to know wuts behind the door(s)! Youre my only hope, swanky!
Frick, want to watch a video about a glitch but instead tear up when hearing Twilight Princess music
I freaking love the thumbnail
I was expecting a game theory type video on this
*link grabs ruppee* "screw ya'll im goin back ta bed! Heres the credits... GOODNIGHT!" *clap-clap*
Epikk thumbnail, swanky.
So we have the game's ending sequence playing minutes after the game begins, as a result of performing the game equivalent of messing with the fabric of reality. Is the game being beaten? Or is the game world being literally ended, and the ending sequence plays because it's the end of the game, just not in the intended manner?
Imo I don't think what ima call "credits triggers" is considered "beating" or "completing" a game. It seems more innocent on just a 16 bit title like SMW , but it becomes egregious upon entire 3d realms and worlds of gameplay. I think ACE should be a division of any%, bc tbh ACE completely breaks the game basically. A credits trigger code manipulation is not playing the game, it's code- writing credits, so no need to undercut the great work of speedrunners like Torje, who while also manipulating code data, at least just warps to the final battle which still needs completion. At least there, there's SOME semblance of "playing" and "beating " a game. ACE is comparable to hacking
I certainly think it's worthy of being counted. "Beating" the game is just as arbitrary as reaching the credits - do you need to beat final ganon? All the dungeons? It's certainly not developer intended to skip from the deku tree to GT, but is developer intent the only valid way to judge a speedrun?
Ultimately, the decision is up to the community. You can also personally choose what counts as beating the game for you.
That bait of a title made this seem like it was gonna be a UA-cam theory about how, because of speed run mechanics, link was rewriting the splits in his timeline and altering the zelda universe. Even the thumbnail lead to that conclusion, and has absolutely nothing to do with the video. Did not expect that from this creator at all.
I thought this video would be about how the timeline split into three with OoT.
I am guessing the speed runner Mario and Melee Fox thing is a reference to TerminalMontage?
I just bought Master Quest (For a humongous price!!!) Thanks Swanky, for reminding me how much I love this game! Xoxo
I love your videos man, you are really smart and i love your oot vids. Also how do i donate to you
It's called majora's mask. Now that's a quick video.
All speedrunners know you dont roll you side step jump thing
So when are we getting Flappy Bird in OOT?
Glitched speedrunning has always been "how to play as little of the game as possible, while using as little skill as possible, by utilizing the tricks other people found, only wasting more time doing it than anyone else is willing to waste" And this is the perfect representation of that. If they were to ban this perfectly "legitimate" glitch, in order to protect the "sanctity" of the other categories, how does that not justify banning every other stupid glitch, and actually forcing the players to play the game again?
Not quite what I was expecting from that title.
The thumbnail is gonna be my new wallpaper.
The thumbnail is making me laugh so much!
ITS SO FUNNY LIKE JESUS LINK YOU DON’T HAVE TO SCARE THE CRAP OUT OF GANNON
I clicked on the video because I though it was possible to cut off Ganon’s head lmao
alright but how exactly is Link Rewriting His Own Existence in Ocarina of Time
lol the Kokir sword would not be able to slit Ganons throat. This ganon can only be hurt by holy weapons and of course, the master sword.
Thanks for the new video as always!
How do people find this stuff out? ...like how....
I think OoT is my favorite Zelda game too. I'm beginning my third playthrough right now!
Link:This is.... Made in heaven!
Ace has been banned in most categories except any% and 100% NSR (No Source Requirement)
SRM has been severely limited in categories allowing it (100% only allows carry SRM i believe)
i don't think that any% will go much lower, and it's gonna hit it's limit very fast if it does.
If they find slingshot skip for example and can credits warp with Ace as soon as you exit links house then it's gonna hit the limit real quick, if anyone even bothers optimizing it since it's literally watch the intro cutscene and do ACE at that point (now people are doing it because it's newish but after a while nobody will run any% and will go to the old category any% no ace)
I just checked this morning and theres already a separate any% no ace category. But maybe you also meant that when you said "banned in other categories". Just wanna make the point that if someone wants to do any% runs without ACE, there is a leaderboard for a category where its banned.
Never been this early before :) And to a Zelda video out of all things :)
Like, this is a really cool glitch. ACE is always neat to play with... but if we're at the point that speedrunners aren't even leaving the starting area... are we really even playing the game still? Like, when I would infinite assist trophy with Isabelle I never claimed to be "playing Smash". I was just showing off a neat glitch.
Those high-resolution polygons look absolutely hideous.
That thumbnail though...
Standard 100% will be fine because it requires the natural source of the object to be considered valid, it might still alter the route, but the core wont really change. 100% No Source Requirement and Max% though... That will be interesting.
Eat your Cereal
So the ooT community found a way to beat the game within 8 minutes. Honestly, who has the time to discover shit like this?! It's kind of phenomenal! Ok I'm convinced OOT can be beaten under 7 minutes, good luck!
7:39 TRULY. REMARKABLE.
Dat thumbnail though.
