Ocarina of Time guinness book of world records

[ChargewithSword]

I don't know, I've seen better. There was a 2 hour run, that was dedication at it's core, and running backwards.

 

[Bluelink6]

yes, but that wasn't in the book of records, so even if they did it in two hours, it sdeosn't count, because it wasn't recorded by book of records representations. Tell me, was this person hacking other than the run backwards? say, using a bullet run hack ??

No cheating, just running backwards and knowing what he was doing. Just because it isn't in the book doesn't mean it doesn't count, it's just not mainstream.

well I heard he used glitches in the 2 hour run he used bomb hovers to get to the spirit temple quickly(which I dont even know if that would be a glitch)but did he get all the medallions if not we all know he didn't finish so it would count as anything and if he uses a hack they cant count it cause they will only count it if the game is legit

I'm pretty sure that time has been beaten to by now.

I find it to be quite impossible to beat it in five hours without glitches. All the cutscenes and dialogue would probably take more time than that.

 

[Mivfs]

I would not be able to do that. It makes me wonder if it is even real or if he has a secret or something. Who knows.

ZeldaSpeedRuns Leaderboards Is the mostly up held records of the Zelda speed running community which uses glitches. These people are legit. ZeldaSpeedRuns - Ocarina of Time can teach you most of the tricks that they use.

The any% WR for oot is 47:09 zfg1 - Ocarina of Time any% speedrun 47:09 (WR)

The best 100% 5:52 Runnerguy2489 - OoT 100% World Record as of 3/12/2012 [Run starts at 40:15 of the video]

I find it to be quite impossible to beat it in five hours without glitches. All the cutscenes and dialogue would probably take more time than that.

While the cutscenes and dialogue can seem long they probably add up to less than half an hour for Ocarina of Time (just a guess though). I know that Skyward Sword had reportedly 100 minutes of cutscenes, and I'd guess that Ocarina would have a fraction of that amount.

I've beaten the game in 5 hours and 57 minutes without using anything that could be considered a glitch. Also on that run I made several awful mistakes that probably costed me at least 10 minutes total (I died at Bongo Bongo for instance and had to run through the entire dungeon again). Plus there's the fact that the people who have records are way better than me at just about everything from fighting enemies to aiming with items, and all the little timesavers can really add up. So IMO under 5 hours without glitches is within reason for someone incredibly dedicated.

Geez.. .5 hours? It took me that long to figure out how to kill Queen Ghoma the first time on the N64...
It went something like this:
"alright... bosses lair." *walks to center*
"HOLY MOTHER OF SPIDERS!!!"
*dies about 5 times*
"IT'S HAVING BABIES?!?!"
But still, that seems pretty hard to do, especially on the Water Temple for some. Something just doesn't seem right about this.

Yes it is pretty hard, and it's definitely not for everyone. This is only even remotely possible for people who have the game memorized from start to finish. You just have to imagine how good someone can be at the game. These people setting records play near perfectly for five hours straight- it's almost unbelievable unless you watch clips of them.

 

[MAZZ0Murder]

It's possible if you don't waste anything and rapidly press A through talking

 

[Echo]

wow.....

 

[r2d93]

Glitches or not, THAT is dedication, and i applaud him. I'v only beaten one Zelda in one day, and that was the Minish Cap which is ridiculously short

 

[Norm]

Wow. It takes me a little less than an hour to progress up untill the first meeting with Gaebora and this guy beat the WHOLE FRIGGIN' GAME in 5 hours? I quit. It seems the more I know about videogaming, the more I seem to suck at it.
