Definitely one of my favourite speedruns to watch, both with regards to game and category. I've played z2 a ton throughout the years and am still amazed by how much skill is required to pull something like this off. I can't wait to see how low you will take this record :)
I will forever be tied to this wr as the guy in chat meaning to text his gf and not post in chat then go on to talk about my vasectomy lmao. GG Orkle, glad i was present for both of your record runs
Cg. My friend and i beat this game together as kids. I didnt beat it solo until i was an adult. I would love for them to make another entry with this gameplay. Subscribed.
He did. Orkle is nuts! If you haven't caught him live, I really highly recommend it. Super chill stream, chat is wonderful, and you get to experience the thought process. It's really awesome to follow!
Yeah, I was a little unsatisfied with the final two bosses. I lost about 10-15 seconds. I wanted a slightly better run, but got this one instead. The RNG was crazy!
I plan to! I would also like to try another game, though I don't think I'll ever fully stop playing Z2. I love it too much. Kind of leaning toward any% deathless.
@@orkledorkleI hope you do. I wish more people would run deathless, but I understand why not, since it’s so easy to either have bad luck or just slip up during the course of an almost one hour run.
Category rules: Timing starts with control in North Palace. Time ends with control loss shortly after killing Dark Link (Make sure to hold right after the final hit until Link stops moving). No out of bounds tricks with glitch town or fairying are allowed (i.e. HUD Fairy warp, Fairy Feet & Healer Glitch). All spells, dungeon items, hammer, magic key, magic containers, heart containers, keys, and sword techniques must be collected. No fairying through doors without a key. No walking on the ceiling over a door without a key. All gems must be placed. No intentional (including Up+A) or accidental game overs allowed.
@@Enfer13 Indeed not, there are no level requirements stated. It is not that uncommon for games to not include max level in 100% speedruns, I think it's mostly to not force grinding (though this would be fairly quick in Z2).

It's so cool to see this game still getting active progress
Favorite NES game ever...
Same here. It's always been my #1!
Just found your channel earlier this week, love watching someone be so good at a game that gave me so much frustration as a kid, well done!
Thank you! It gave me a lot of frustration as a kid as well, and arguably even more nowadays.
OH MY GOD!!!!!!!! Congrats on improving on your WR! You're insane man. I look forward to seeing you beat it again. And again. And again.
Thanks Alamaxia! This is going to be a tough one to beat. This may have been the best RNG I've had ever in a single run. It's doable, though

There is a fan made PC remake that is supposed to be very good, that I still haven't tried. I definitely plan to!
Grats man, I thought simpol was going to have the wr forever
Absolute shenanigans at 23:27
I played this game as a kid for countless hours. now realizing i never saw like 80% of the game is disgraceful.
Why is this former? Did someone beat it again?
Nice work bro!!!
How former? Is it me or us the game running a smidge too fast
wow... didint you just record this after a long standing record by ?dood?
