For a new runner, there are countless resources (including a very special room-by-room tutorial being prepared as I type). I would be curious to know what the average age is - my guess would be 34 - because it seems many have a similar childhood experience as I did with the game. Rooslugs: I’m pretty new to speedrunning communities, but I would wager that this is one of the premier communities, filled with helpful, competitive and generous individuals. Randomizer is an amazing development as well, truly making the game a new experience every time.ĮC: What’s it like being part of the Zelda 1 speedrunning community? A Link to the Past is probably my 2nd favorite title in the series. Running Zelda 1 is a joy because there are a variety of category options and rule sets to test your routing, combat and movement.I have played and enjoyed all of the nearly 30 categories (and don’t forget second quest ). It’s hard for me to accept those elements at the expense of what I love.

It seems the series has transitioned a bit toward puzzle-solving, hand-holding and minimal fighting. As far as Zelda 1 goes, I love the combination of open exploration and challenging combat, and it really is dangerous to go alone. Breath of the Wild has great appeal for me, but I have yet to purchase a Switch - the game looks so stunning. I probably have Link’s Awakening around somewhere as well. I currently own Zelda 1, Zelda 2, A Link to the Past and Twilight Princess (Wii). Rooslugs: The most practical reason relates to what I have access to, since I haven’t purchased a video game since high school.

The Zelda community received my discovery with overwhelming support, and they helped me learn how to run the thing properly.ĮC: What draws you back to run Zelda 1 over other, perhaps more modern Zelda titles? I introduced the discovery to a prominent runner before the 2018 Spring tournament, and he secretly debuted it in his opening race. Among that list ended up being a glitch discovery that is affectionately referred to as the “roocorder”. After several pedestrian attempts at The Legend of Zelda, I decided to work through a list of questions I had regarding the game’s functionality based on the “speed strats” I had seen.
I happened to find my NES and a box of games in my garage and dusted them off. (Sitting on the sidelines gets me antsy) Prior to this, I hadn’t played video games in any capacity for maybe 15-20 years. I was mesmerized that people could completely wreck the games I grew up with and eventually got the itch to try it for myself. Rooslugs: I delved into the speedrunning community as a lurking fan in late 2017. Others I have tried, include: A Link to the Past, Metroid and Super Mario Bros.ĮC: How did you first get into speedrunning? The Legend of Zelda was the first “speed game” I attempted to play. Professionally, I day trade stock, options and other securities for my personal business.

I’m a husband and father of three who spends my limited free time traveling, making music, cooking tasty food … and playing retro video games. Playing games was a family affair during my childhood, and Zelda was always a personal favorite. I was released the same year as NES The Legend of Zelda, back in 1986. I had a chat with rooslugs about his experience with the game and its community.
There may not be any Glitch Exhibition this week, but we’re still highlighting an amazing Legend of Zelda runner.

The full extent of this glitch isn’t clear yet, but the record times for these categories have already begun to drop down.Ī new version of the Wind Waker Randomizer has been released, bringing the software to version 1.6.1. Following the discovery, the community held a vote to decide on whether to allow this glitch in the any% and 100% categories, to which the community voted to allow. This allows for huge time saves in most categories. Using this trick, runners can access the game’s debug menu, from which they can manipulate other items in the game, such as heart pieces and warp songs. A huge new glitch has been discovered in Majora’s Mask! Known as Soar Text Overflow, the glitch uses the previously known Index Warp glitch to manipulate pieces of memory which would otherwise be inaccessible.
