With speed running marathon Awesome Games Done Quick only a few days away, we have ourselves a brand new world record speedrun in Ocarina of Time. Runner Jodenstone started the festivities off right by setting a record time of 18 minutes and 7 seconds on his Twitch stream. And yes, as unbelievable as it sounds, it is possible to finish Ocarina of Time in just over 18 minutes.

How is that possible? You can't even finish any shooter that fast. How do you speed run a rpg?

Haha yeah Jodenstone is a fucking beast, such a great run from him, so dissapointed I wasnt watching when it happened though. First time Ive missed him in awhile -_-
Anyway cant wait for AGDQ, better know as ktay forgets how sleep works =D

Cosmo (former WR holder) must be pretty devastated right now :p

Here is a explanation of how the speed run works and how short it became over time:

Pretty interesting stuff specially if you watch speed runs casually like me.

Why i left PC gaming

 

(2015) Question for PS4 owners: if the situation would be reverse? would you still play on PS4?

That's explains it. Thanks for the condensed explanation.

I don't get speedruns, they only get that time by glitching/exploiting/cheating everything possible. Maybe if they did the game fast while playing legit it would be better.


Its fun to watch the inredible skills they have. I mean they have already beaten the game more than 100 Times'.

and no cheats are allowed, sure glitches but still.

Uh nope, cheating would defeat the purpose of speedrunning =P

Isn't using glitches the same as cheating? It's like a UFC fighter winning a championship fight by an eye poke that wasn't seen. Sure he can say he had skill but his accomplishment means little. Why not just do legit speed runs?

No it would be like him using a move that should be illegal but there was an oversight and the rules havent been changed to disallow it yet. Thats why rules of sports are updated every so often, or for games we have patches.
