Did any of you do this?

Hey guys!

I was playing Ocarina of Time today, and remembered that I do something specific when I go almost everywhere.

That is:

Do those forward roll "attacks" when I'm going places.

Now, my reasoning, is that it looks a little faster than just running, so I just kept doing it, and it became a pretty bad habit, actually...

I do that in WW and TP too, actually...

Do/did any of you guys do that? (Vote once for if you do, and vote again for if you think it's faster)

Rolling in OoT is indeed faster than just running. It's pretty funny how that works. I'm fairly certain it's the same in MM and WW. And possibly in TP too. When I play those games I tend to roll a lot if I just want to get from one place to another.

In OoT, backwalking is faster than both walking and rolling

Yeah, I always walk backwards across Hyrule Field. OoT has some pretty weird movement speeds.

Only quicker as a child. Otherwise, it's backwalking

I only rolled when i had to because it looks horrible and stupid when people spam it.

That may be true but it is a cherished and well known essential to Zelda games (except Botw)

The roll is faster than walking and back walking is even faster, but I like to see where I'm going and want to look at the scenery as I go. Most of the games I play now are for immersion, if I just go from point A to Point B as fast as possible either rolling or walking backwards, I feel less immersed than if I just walk and meander a bit.

It mainly depends on what game I am playing. I will normally choose the faster method of movement.

I did the roll everywhere. I am impatient and I like to mash the a button. Even if rolling was not slightly faster I would still mash that button.

infrequently in the n64 games,sparingly in twilight princess & minish cap,and a good amount in wind waker & skyward sword [when the stamina meter allows it]

 

[Azure Sage]

I prefer walking, but I infrequently roll to add a little pep to my step if I'm in a hurry to get somewhere.

I never knew about balkwalking...

Yeah it's what the speed runners do. Also the cutscenes in the Japanese version of Oot are faster.
