It appears the past week or so has been Speedrun heaven, as we’ve seen our 3rd record breaking Speedrun of a Zelda game, but this time for a game other than Ocarina of Time.

Now Jodenstone has done it again, this time using the new glitch that was discovered back in February. Jodenstone was able to shave two seconds…

The speed running community had been struck with a new record for a 100% run of Majora’s Mask with an outstanding time of 6:06:26 (6 hours 6 minutes 26 seconds).
