This man is what every speedrunner should aim to be. He's had the first place for years, but he's never content with just being the fastest. As long as he can go faster, he will continue. True Legend.
The rate of his PB improvement probably scares off a lot of potential challengers. The target just keeps moving. Imagine trying to feel happy about your 1-minute PB when the world record was just improved by the same amount.
@@j03man44 I recall the Summoning Salt video about Matt Turk and Punch-Out. The records seemed impossible to beat, but the runners took that as a challenge. Probably more intimidating to run against ZFG while he plays 100%, but if he moves to max% child or other categories, it’s likely we’ll see other people creep up on him.
this is my first time watching a 100% speedrun of Ocarina of Time. I didn't realize there were so many glitches to the game. The glitches are totally fine, it's just, I wasn't expecting to have absolutely no idea what was happening the entire run after he walks out the front door of link's house.
There's a "No SRM" speedrun that still has glitches, but no where near as much as this run. There's also Glitchless 100% runs that would be much easier to understand
@@reidmartin6209 At that point he had just lost about 5-10 seconds. He was behind his PB (watch the little video in the top left) and his previous personal best was about 10 seconds slower than his balanced times. So, compared to that he was pretty far in the red for 13 minutes in.
He droppa da fish at 16:57 "Where We Droppin'?" at 2:28:03 Happy Mask Drop at 2:29:16 But most importantly, he droppa da time at 3:03:44 BONUS: Dampe at 1:01:05 Congrats on sub 3:04!
runners almost always hate their runs unless they're basically flawless. it's relatively uncommon to hear a runner say "yeah that was a good run," it's usually "this run sucked" even when it's WR. and in zfg's case, he doesn't even care about WR, he just wants a really good run without any substantial mistakes.
I haven’t watched OOT speed runs in a while. I’m just amazed at the item grab scene near the graveyard! Also seeing young link wearing a water tunic is wild!
Right on time! Good asmr to sleep! Thanks zfg! Ps: I love your content but your voice is so relaxing I watch these before going to sleep and takes me about 4 nights to watch the whole thing. But hey 4 views from one sub lol
Yup same, I end up clicking on a wr video many nights before finally finishing it.. I still haven't finished the last PB but guess I'll start on this one since its recent. Knowing the run so intimately means its something you can watch while your eyes are closed, just by sound.. you can see the stream lol
16:45 How a random sequence of moves (of course, they are very precise and unusual moves) can "break" the game in that way, this is crazy. Amazing run!
First go like this, spin around, STOP! Double take three times, one, two, three! Then pelvic thrust, whooo! Whooo! Whooo! Stomp on your right foot, don't forget it! Now it's time to bring it around town, bring it around town. Then you do, this, then this, then that, and then this, and that and this and that and then... speedruning!
What astonishes me the most is that to this day this is probably the most game breaking speedrun in all of speedrunning history and we've still haven't managed to find a RNG manipulation strat for Dampe. Deep down i'm sure that even if there is/were one, people would still not use it. I mean come on it's Dampe, everyone's favorite part of the run
@brianrutherfield9233 I think it's because they only use bugs in the game which they manipulate. Speedrunning games usually end up breaking them completely which spawns new categories. OoT any% was a lot of fun until they figured out how to skip straight to the end lmao
i enjoyed your runs ZFG and the commentary for them is good you always give us explanations on what's happening in these runs i want you to keep it up i wanna try and get items early instead of getting them from their original source to beat this game quicker keep it up
Having never seen one of these, this is an absolute fever dream of an experience. Drifting through space, jabu jabu, fire temple, stretches of blankness.
I am astounded... you are truly amazing ZFG. The funny part is that you use all the right button commands to get all the items, just so you can run around and get all the items. 😂 But seriously, i am so happy i found your twitch and started following you. 10/10 bro! 🤘
What I want to know is this. Somebody sat down and thought "I will do some weird, random stuff on OoT and see what happens." They did and learn that by doing so they can break the game. Who even plays a game like this and thus discovers this?
I remember when I played this game, I beat the spirit temple before I beat the shadow temple. I went through the desert blind and made a huge jump that left me without the need for the hover boots. The good old days.
So... I been away from oot speed tuning for a while... can some one tell me what’s happening on 14:38? How come he can get all the items from that? Hahahaha help
It's funny that the glitches zelda seems more true to how life would be. Floating around... low health meter... bombing yourself in existential liminal spaces.... not really finding the designated treasure chests but still ending up with everything you need.
Spent the last 4 days playing this to get 100% with a walkthrough just to come watch this witch craft!! Starting losing my mind at 12:00 😳😳 bro! How! 😅

There's been times when glitchy had first place in the last few months, but zfg has made the WR like 6 times in a row since then
his mom disagrees
"Here's my unretirement" is a great way to start a PB.
1year
I woulda killed myself after the run
I really don't understand how is it possible to be able to remember everything he needs to do besides precision... MIND BLOWING
Muscular memory, your body naturally remember how to do things after enough time training.
Look at his channel, he almost exclusively plays Ocarina of Time. That's extreme skill.
You probably know that already.
20 years of playing OOT
The real answer. Speedrunners are a different breed.

No stopping ZFG hes legit forever gonna be holder of hundo
If this run gets verified (very likely), ZFG will have an 8 minute advantage over 2nd place and a 25 minute advantage over third place. Incredible
@@52flyingbicycles I know hes like the enopp of oot haha the goat fr he could pick up any category and get wr with practice

This man is making records at least once a week
Better than a couple years ago where it took months, my poor boy got his groove back finally.
Gotta make it for the weekly EZScape Speedrun Community Highlights
13:15 "I really should reset already. This is already really bad."
He considers the run bad based on his performance relative to his standard, and not based on luck like 1st try Dampe.
he is literally in the green lol

Congrats on sub 3:04!
But where he droppa da beat? 16:40
Thank you, sir
I live for this comment on every PB video
don't drop your day job
No matter how many times I see the happy mask drop it's always the best
I didn't know what to expect from this video. This is pure chaos. Insane.
PBs by almost a minute
“Cool”
"it was decent but I'm still mad about Morpha"
This is unreal. That item acquirement on the way to Zora is insane.
Currently too emotionally invested in OoT 100% speedrunning
no such thing
Bro really said at 13:00 that he should reset the run and give up
Then went on to get WR
That's standard for the "freak" at this point lol

2:29:25 "AAAAAAHHHH- um yes, I'd like to buy a mask please"
"AAAAAAAHHHH! can I borrow that mask?"
Vendor: cool
I haven’t watched OOT speed runs in a while. I’m just amazed at the item grab scene near the graveyard! Also seeing young link wearing a water tunic is wild!
Right on time! Good asmr to sleep! Thanks zfg!
Ps: I love your content but your voice is so relaxing I watch these before going to sleep and takes me about 4 nights to watch the whole thing. But hey 4 views from one sub lol
Same
For me it's perfect background sounds for when I draw.
he is so much more relaxing than every other speedrunner
Yup same, I end up clicking on a wr video many nights before finally finishing it.. I still haven't finished the last PB but guess I'll start on this one since its recent.
Knowing the run so intimately means its something you can watch while your eyes are closed, just by sound.. you can see the stream lol
Same best sleep video or audio to play
i truly stopped comprehending at 12:30 this is so cool!
1:00:45 Dampe first try again! Back to back
Spoiler alert ;-;
Spooler
Honestly what do you guys expect, browsing the comments? Lol
He be ripping off that Dream luck.
Dudes obviously cheating every way possible

They wouldn’t use it because setting up any sort of manipulation would take longer than just going for it.
@@Randinator until that day someone finds a way. It's still OOT, the break down of this game is nowhere near over
Well there is, but its ace.
0:13 Comes from retirement and still gets a WR! *Pog*
I just watched this whole 3+ hr video...as a guy who loves this game and never did a speed run,,, im blown away at the things you did! very nice 🤘🏼
14 minutes in: Alright time to gather every item in the game from the air
This guy legit beating his own world record one minute at a time
Finally saw a world record for the first time and this was it!
I'm so confused how half the Inventory just spawns 😂 amazing run my dude
Same.. not to take away from the skill this took but how is that not cheating?
@brianrutherfield9233 I think it's because they only use bugs in the game which they manipulate. Speedrunning games usually end up breaking them completely which spawns new categories. OoT any% was a lot of fun until they figured out how to skip straight to the end lmao
there is a category called 100% glitchless if you want to watch the normal verison, the record is like 5.5 hours
So after watching a number of these speed runs, I’ve come to the conclusion you guys are goddamn wizards.
Dude that's nuts! Normally you have to be an adult to get inside the Shadow Temple. That's the power of glitches I guess
Ah yes zelda feet gamer is epic
He's actually doing all these runs with his feet. He doesn't want you to know this but that's how he gets such good times.
His name is ZeldaFanGirl thank you very much
ZanyFeetGuy
knowing what zfg actually stands for feels like cursed knowledge
@@hnglbanana freaky
We need this run in the next GDQ so that I can know wtf is going on
The fact that you can remember to do all that is insane to me.
i enjoyed your runs ZFG and the commentary for them is good you always give us explanations on what's happening in these runs i want you to keep it up i wanna try and get items early instead of getting them from their original source to beat this game quicker keep it up
No source is a separate route, but its stupid boring because of how strong srm is
wholesome
@@DryConcrete They're saying ZFG has inspired them to try sequence breaks in their own playthroughs.
@@rgfthbs oh, seems I misunderstood
every week a new PB see you guys next week for a 3:02
Having never seen one of these, this is an absolute fever dream of an experience. Drifting through space, jabu jabu, fire temple, stretches of blankness.
I have absolutely no idea what's going on but I'm loving every second of it
The basic principal is link is a magic boi with fairy powers. Kappa
I've never seen ZFG so quiet and focused during a run before lol
Really love how 38 minutes in you are getting hover boots and you’ve been straight flying for 12 minutes already
I liked the part @28:25 where Link is using a bomb as a pillow. Lol.
Excellent run. See y'all in next week´s sub 3:03!
1:57:46 The two runs synchronized up again for a while! So awesome lmao
Oh wait that's the old run? That's what that is? Omg
This took some real time and skills, holy cow
Damn this run became pure glitchyness xD Amazing what ZFG does
i'm new to this channel. this is fantastic. exciting.
yeah its cool
I’m flabbergasted he went from the fire temple to that whale stomach (forgot the name)
i'm gonna be so mad if i miss sub 3:03 live.
Nice! This is exactly how my first play through went too
this was the very first zelda i ever played when it came out and i fell for the series
1:02:19 Famous last words
For being "The Best Ocarina of Time Speedrunner of All Time" he sure does die a lot.
(I'm kidding)
I am astounded... you are truly amazing ZFG.
The funny part is that you use all the right button commands to get all the items, just so you can run around and get all the items. 😂
But seriously, i am so happy i found your twitch and started following you. 10/10 bro! 🤘
I fall asleep to these so I wonder if I fall asleep on a certain angle I’ll warp to shadow temple
I am watching this with no context for the first time and it looks unbelievable.
Thank you zfg for another video to watch for bedtime. Truly blessed 🙏
The madman is going for lower!
I don't understand how you're doing this. This is CRAZY
I just finished watching the last world record, thanks for breaking it again to suit my viewing schedule!
Mans is puttin himself out of work smh
What I want to know is this. Somebody sat down and thought "I will do some weird, random stuff on OoT and see what happens." They did and learn that by doing so they can break the game. Who even plays a game like this and thus discovers this?
I’m so confused by some of these processes but I’m fascinated lol
All things considered, he will acheive under 3:00:00 hours soon.
Dude, I didn't even finish watching tha last one yet. Calm down!
For real tho, mad props to you. Congratulations on the new PB!
I remember when I played this game, I beat the spirit temple before I beat the shadow temple. I went through the desert blind and made a huge jump that left me without the need for the hover boots. The good old days.
Just three more minutes!!! You got this
1:07:39 CHICKEN IS HAVING A GOOD TIME
CLUCK CLUCK THAT CHICKEN F...
He's still going, keep up the good work, can't wait to see more
HE DIDNT DESCRIBE THE RUN AS SLOPPY! I CAN WATCH IT!
He actually did, at 46:43. Ruined.
9:23 you don’t say huh haha 😭🤯
13:14 wtf is going on 🤣
Praise Rem_
Remember guys, sub 3 is impossible :)
Remember when sub 4 was just a meme?
That was a glorious day, we will see sub 3 within our lifetime, maybe even this year, maybe even within a couple months.
@@blueshellincident there are some new strat ideas and minor rerouting that make a 3:01 really possible,WE ARE SO CLOSE
this speedrun is more like a cheatcode than a real speedrun LUL
ZFG is simply one of the best
They finally did it. They finally broke this game. :D
Wow, another pb so fast. Congratulations!
So... I been away from oot speed tuning for a while... can some one tell me what’s happening on 14:38? How come he can get all the items from that? Hahahaha help
Bumping for an answer for this
I ❤️ ZFG!
#Beastmode
Is there a video explaining the glitches used in this run? I’m pretty interested in how exactly some of these work lol
Yes . He recently has done a glitch exhibition about oot. Its 3 hours long
Dude you are an OoT speedrunning god!!!!
Having played this growing up, now I’m just sitting here like 👁👄👁. Seriously I don’t have a clue of what’s going on.
Well it's all really quite simple but first I have to explain to you Parallel Universes.
There's a link in the description to a commentated demonstration of the route if you really wanna know what's happening
The way you play makes Link look like a Naruto character.
None of this makes any sense... but I sat here and watched the whole thing! 🤣
Are you winning, dad?
It's funny that the glitches zelda seems more true to how life would be. Floating around... low health meter... bombing yourself in existential liminal spaces.... not really finding the designated treasure chests but still ending up with everything you need.
Watching this speedrun is like sniffing up a speedball and dropping a tab.
Holy crap congrats!
The 3:02 run is coming soon!
At some stage you'll find a glitch that will give you 100% given memory locations. ZFG be like muh 100% trophies, MINE!
Hello, I hope everyone has a good day and or night.
Holy shit a New PB New World Record we joke about SUB 3 but he may just do it.
first time watchin 100% ocarina of time, 22 mins in and have no idea what's happening lol
hands down. a true legend
Spent the last 4 days playing this to get 100% with a walkthrough just to come watch this witch craft!! Starting losing my mind at 12:00 😳😳 bro! How! 😅
That is a very generous butterfly.
Bless this man
Amazing that it was his first run since coming out of retirement
damn getting closer and closer to 3:00, they say it ain't possible but you're gonna do it
I beat this game back in 2004. Height of my gaming lol. No idea where my n64 and games went over the years. Wanna play this game again
WHO FIGURED OUT HOW TO PULL ITEMS OUT OF THIN AIR LIKE A RABBIT OUT OF A HAT TRICK!?
I just got done downloading your last PB. Slow down Zelda Freak Glitcha
Pretty damn amazing
Hello. Epic cool speedy man.
