Earlier this year, the folks at Awesome Games Done Quick took it upon themselves to play games for charity, trying to meet various requirements throughout these games. This allows them to add a certain level of difficulty to the games, and helps them to gain more donations through setting goals, and then beating those goals…

In a recent Games Done Quick an all dungeons Master Quest speedrun was completed. This was done in an impressive amount of time, with the end result being 1:40:25. The run was done by ZFG who did very well in his playthrough. This was an entertaining run to watch and in it I learnt lots of tricks…

A couple of great charity game streams during the year come from the folks over at Games Done Quick. We have one coming up at the beginning of the year in a couple of days as Awesome Games Done Quick returns once again to give us some speed running goodness. I’m happy as always to report that Zelda will once again be represented by some classics from the franchise…

Did you know the original Legend of Zelda game’s dungeon maps can be arranged to spell out the name Zelda? I didn’t until I watched this informative video Alltime Numbers released covering The Legend of Zelda in numbers. This clever video includes tidbits of information, such as how many copies the series has sold, to the phone number Americans could call back in the day if they got stuck in the first Zelda game…

Summer Games Done Quick, the annual summertime speedrunning marathon run by SpeedDemosArchive, has started!

It is kind of funny that after decades of video games evolving, using newer, fancier technology, and gaining more and more skiled developers, you still cannot find a single game that lacks at least a few major glitches. Zelda is no different, of course. Whether you are speedrunning, beta testing, or just looking for a fun in-game…

It’s sweltering hot, the sun is shining, and the outdoors is ready for playing in! Time to leave that until later, and sit inside to watch some awesome speed runs. Summer Games Done Quick, SpeedDemosArchive‘s week-long speedrun marathon, raising money for charity, is starting in July, and Zelda games are on…

Ever since the birth of Ocarina of Time, speedrunners have been blasting their way through it using any tactics they can: back flips, sliding, glitches, wall running, etc. Yesterday, the record for fastest completion of the game was broken by a man named Joel Westerberg, who already held the record but decided to break it again.

Westerberg managed to reach the end of the game in 18 minutes and 5 seconds, breaking the previous record…

Twitch user ZFG recently set a new world record yet again. His time of 4:26:54 beat the old record of 4:28:22 by about 2 minutes. The rules of a 100% speedrun are as follows: it consists of all dungeons, main inventory items, gold skulltulas, medallions and stones, etc. ZFG’s Twitch channel has over five million views, as well as 46 thousand followers…
