Stare at the guy dressed as link, and focus on the two bits of hair coming from under his cap, right at his forehead. You will start to see them as his eyebrows and it makes him look very worried.
Meme Lord There have actually been speculation on why his face is so unlikeable. It has something to do with our natural instinct to defend ourselves against predators or something. It's really bizarre.
That Asian guy on the right at 24:36 sums up everything wrong with the speedrun community. The guy in the back was just asking a question, he didn't understand something and wanted to LEARN. Why is that such a crime that deserves talking down to him and scowling at him?? Everybody's been new to speedrunning and even gaming at one point, so why would you shame them because you know more? The community should be giving extra care to the newbies, let them see why it's such a cool thing to get into! Don't fucking passive-aggressively make them feel like a dumbass just for wanting to understand why the games do what they do.
This run was done live at a marathon, it was getting uploaded whether it took twenty tries for every trick, or just one. If you had watched any OoT runner (or most any other serious speedrunner of another game) you would realize that these guys practice the tricks a lot. Often the difference between a 'good' run and a 'bad' run is only a 1-2 minutes and involves very few mistakes. I would estimate most serious runners, of OoT especially, have above 90% execution on most tricks. Please don't pretend that these guys are hiding behind hours of off-camera play. You can watch most of them playing live for hours on end on SRL, go see if you still think that they 'just [don't] upload' all those runs.
Actually, he does mess up a couple of times. First he messed up escaping the forest. All that flipping and slashing before the Navi dive wasn't for no reason. For the Navi dive you need to wait some time and do it at a specific moment. He was trying a faster method that lets you glitch through the doorframe so he wouldn't need to dive. Then, skipping the Navi text in the Deku tree, then with the hit box trick to light the deku stick, then again when he gets hit by the skeletons after he wrong-warps.
So talented... The empathy is strong even if I dont know her... Lets hope she can get a safe and chill life after everything that happened. Cosmo will always be in our heart! :(
jesus dude. what is up with the comments on this video. these guys are getting paid to do something they love and simultaneously raising money for prevention of an awful disease. people argue that they are cheating. this is speedrunning and there are multiple classes for speedrunning (low%, 100%, any%, etc.) because some people can enjoy playing a video game and getting popular for it, other people feel that it is necessary to make fun of cosmo to make them feel better about themselves? wow
Stop being rude to him guys. He is just giving good commentary. It would be super boring if there was nothing he could talk about, he is just keeping the conversation going. He is also teaching us how to do all these glitches so we can do this on our own.
So... that one guy on every speedrun comment section, the one idiot who always insists that "glitching is cheating" - that's a running joke or trolling, right? There's no way there's actually a crowd of idiots out there who think using the game's own logic to beat it faster is "cheating", come on now.
marc smith It's only cheating if a.) it's against the pre-set rules. Like using glitches in a glitch-less run or built in cheat codes that are disallowed in the speedrun. b.) You misrepresent what you are doing. Like using a mod or tool assistance without telling people you are.
I agree with that. All I meant was that sometimes doing glitches does require skill, but I don't think that glitching a game should be in the same caliber as sequence breaking, but a lot of people do not distinguish the difference.
Glitching is not cheating. Cheating would be altering the game in some way. They are just using methods that are part of the game that they released. Finding bugs isn't cheating, they made it that way, so it is technically part of the game.
While I agree it isn't cheating...it IS altering the game. To manipulate the game may not break the "rules" per say but it violates the spirit of the game. I enjoy seeing people figure it out and explain how it works, it's very entertaining but I wouldn't defend it as non-altering.
It's only altering the story by skipping parts of it. Bottom line is that these glitches were a part of the game that they mass produced, shipped, and sold to the world. Although they may have not intended for it to be, these glitches are all part of the game. Altering the game would be if you hacked into it, modded it, or changed the software of the game in any way. He just popped it in a nintendo 64 and played. Nothing altered.
Actually my phrasing should have suggested to you that there is a way the game was meant to be played and to break that is altering in some way. If you don't know what I mean by "spirit of the game" then I wish I used a better phrasing because what I am saying isn't off-putting or weird. To change the games values is altering it. I.E. a bottle becoming a duplicated item or weapon. That's possible without hack yes but still altering. Sorry man, you don't need tool assists or hacks to alter a game. I suppose it's opinion at this point.
Let's straiten some things up (BTW this is probably gonna be another of my long rants): 1. If Cosmo hadn't done any explaining, I wouldn't have had ANY idea what was going on, and I'm pretty good at following along and figuring out what's going on myself. If those of you out there don't like his commentary, there IS a mute button. That, or you must know infinitely more about Ocarina of Time speedruns than the rest of us. Stop giving the guy flack. He's only doing his part in the interest of viewers that don't speedrun OoT. 2. Glitches are just a part of speedrunning. If you "purists" don't like it, watch Let's Plays or 100% runs. Glitching is an exploit in an oversight by the programmers that can be small or, in this case, really, really big. No codes are used, as nothing about the game's actual data is manipulated. The runner just tricks the game into doing things it shouldn't. Kinda like the game saying, "Wait, that's not supposed to happen.... Better warp you to some other location so I don't crash and kill your save file." To speedrun is to beat a game as fast as HUMANLY possible without external coding. Anything is fair game, as long as it's possible without manipulating the game's internal programming. If you guys don't like it, go somewhere else. Besides, when a 100% run of Ocarina takes over 2 hours, doesn't a run done in a bit over 18 MINUTES indicate that there's some kind of glitchery going on? Come on. Use common sense. If you guys don't like glitches, then stay away from runs that obviously appear glitched. Don't intentionally throw yourselves into a fire knowing that you'll get burned.
I love the fact that he talks and explains everything he does. It's one of the reasons that I love his speedruns. In my opinion they make the run way more entertaining.
I'll never understand people who think a speedrun means beating the game without glitches or skips. There would be absolutely no fun in watching someone play a game for 6 hours straight, not using any cool exploits or glitches. I would love to meet someone who finds that enjoyable. (Not really)
Stuff like this pisses me (a guy who has played this game dozens of times and spent easily 100 hours in it) off the wall. Having said that, holy shit is this insanely cool,
Denzien2 If you want to be more precise, Japanese characters will shave off more than 10 minutes in a full, nonglitched playthrough. It only clears a few seconds off of a heavily glitched run like this, but the record is decided by a few seconds at a time these days.
All speedruns utilize "exploits" in some fashion or another - the question is, where do you draw the line? You probably use exploits that you don't even think of when you play through most games.
Harrison Smith In all respect I disagree, that is why patches were invented... Today when an exploit is discovered the developers get on it and start to look for a solution thus releasing a follow up patch.
this is not about finishing the game normally, guess what they´ve still finished it normally atleast a billion times this is just a speed run to see hpw fast you can beat it...
Constant Hughes Speedruns don't do what is "intended", otherwise it wouldn't be a speedrun. As the game developers certainly "intended" you do take your time with the game. Explore it. Talk to everyone etc. While glitches are probably not what the developers "intended" (Even though such cases exist, such as with OoT3D), they are part of the game as they can be done without any modifications. And this makes them legit, no matter what you may think.
So using any gameplay element in a way that a developer didn't intend is cheating? I guess you should tell everyone who rocket-jumps in quake they are cheating
Glitches are part of the game. It doesn't matter what the developers "intended". The glitches are still there, which makes them allowed to be used in speedruns. Because of how glitch heavy this game is, there are other categories. Such as "All dungeons", "100%" and even "Glitchless". No category is more legit than the other, none is cheating as long as the rules are followed but they all do loads of things that weren't "intended". You can find the records for those categories, and more, here: zeldaspeedruns.com/leaderboards/oot/
It's just awesome how calm he seems to be while doing this. When I try to speedrun, well number one I just suck, but secondly, I tell everyone "SHUT UP YOUR MAKIN ME FUCK UP!!!!!". lol
And also after watching a bit it's insane how in depth you guys get with figuring out the glitches. How do you even come across some of that stuff? It's so specific.
It's all mathematics. When you are playing the game you don't realize that everything that is happening on screen is part of a mathematically specific program. Due to the limitations of the N64 memory the programmers had to take many shortcuts when coding the game. These shortcuts end up being exploited when people figure out glitches that are tied in to the values the player is not suppose to have control over. All you need to do is have an understanding of how the game is coded and what causes the glitches. After that it's all a matter of doing the math and figure out what values you can control and how.
I really enjoyed the commentary, his insight about the game is amazing. It's also really cool that this run was basically the result of a collaboration of countless different people over a decade or something. It really is amazing what things you can discover from a game when you put enough time into it, like Cosmo said. I have a whole new appreciation for speedrun community now.
how the fuck does somebody even manage to find that glitch to skip to the castle from the deku tree... nevermind being able to find out how to replicate it .
gosh narcissa I feel sorry for you?? you were finally able to take that step and out yourself and all you get is hate?? you're still the person you used to be, you still got major video game skills but you're probably way happier now than you've been before ( or at least I hope that) don't let these transphobic guys get you down
+Kathara "You're still the same person you used to be" "Happier now than you've been before" No, her hand is fucked up from speedrunning and all she does is mope around and talk about depressing shit. If you knew Narcissa before her change you should know that what she is right now isn't the same as her in the past. If she was the same then no one would have left her except for the transphobics, however this isn't the case.
Now you can beat the game without the sword, there is mido skip, there is the GOD HESS skip, the faster wess to Kakariko, skaters faster forest escape setup. This is why I love this game as a speed run. Not just this category but all OOT category's. MST, 100%, No RBA/WW. The game is just so broken it's so fun to watch all the different possibilities. Just watch a bingo one night and see all the different broken routes to complete 5 simple tasks. Fucking epic!!
Cosmo owns this game, wow! Under 23 minutes that's quicker than any of the temples can even be cleared on a normal run!! I've watched this twice now I wonder if 22:38 min will ever be broken...
I knew sub-20 was possible by skipping straight to the credits but not by any other run, I'll try and find it. If any of you have it post the link here 'cos I'd like to see it.
***** He isn't being a jackass. He is just expressing his opinion on his transgender transformation. Some people preferred Cosmo over Narcissa, that doesn't necessarily mean that they are jackassess... They just would like to have the old Speed Runner God and old Cosmo back.
Resurrextion Clu NARCISSA does not exist for your enjoyment. Your "opinion" on her gender doesn't mean shit, and if you think insulting her misgendering her isn't being a jackass you need to reevaluate yourself.
Why are people sitting here watching these vids only to judge people they dont know and use stereotypes such as nerds and virgins?! Seriously thats what you came here for?! You looked at a vid of someone doing something you cant do, who does it because theyre smart and are interested, their brains obviously can process a hell of alot more than "how to get laid" and they do it for charity yet here come these idiots talking shit about the waste of time?! Homies you just spent a good half hour looking at something you dissaprove of instead of actually going out there and getting "laid" seems kind of suspect...
It's a SPEEDRUN. Not a complete step by step walk through of every part of the game. It's a challenge to get to the end of the game as quickly as possible. Stop whining and enjoy the video or go look up legend of Zelda:ocarina of time walk through part 1.
These guys made my favorite yearlong childhood game look like their bitch in 22 minutes & 38 seconds!!!!!!!! And for the most shocking part- Beating Ganon with only a deku stick?!?!?!? Seriously?!?!?!?!? These guys made the Game developers their bitches!!!!!
Why are people complaining about him using glitches? The ones hes doing are taking more skill than doing the game and even if he uses no glitches hes would still beat ur time
Albert Einstein Twitch (streaming service) has an option for subscribing to a channel as a way of supporting it ($5 a month). He also gets ad revenue from both youtube and twitch. And donations directly through paypal, in which people can send comments that are read during the stream (usually 5k~10k concurrent viewers).
Finding these glitches isn't really that hard. Some people here might have the impression that these guys found it through pure trial and error and years of work. Not so. All you need is a good emulator and debugging tool and you can step into the code while you play and if you're a programmer, you can spot these glitches.
then you clearly don't understand the difficulty of the glitches they use. And don't bitch about it. There is another category called 100% where they do everything.
Calum Morris Fucking idiots like you are what's wrong with the scene at the moment. You lable your cheatruns as Speedruns. You claim to beat a game as fast as possible, when actually all you care about making the credits pop up as fast as possible, not playing/beating the actual game. I bet if you would find a glitch that let you skip to the credits directly from the start menu, you would jizz into your pants, because you have a new smallest time to wave around.
Also, I don't think they found these glitches right away, I'm pretty sure anyone that played this for the first time without knowledge of the glitches found only one at most and played the whole thing normally, if anyone found these kind of glitches on the first try, is because they designed the game then, as simple as that.
toasty Shruk Sir, the point is not to get some kind of new best time to obtain bragging right... The point is to challenge your mind by picking apart the game mechanics piece by piece and the satisfaction that brings (especially to those of use who love to study video games/computer code) is amazing. Furthermore it is human nature to boast about our achievements (I don't have an explanation for that one as I do not study Anthropology) but yeah, if I found a way to get to the 'end game' by utilising the games mechanics (in doing so challenging my mind) I would love to share that fact with other people who share the same interests. The whole concept is very fascinating much like how to get Mew in pokemon red and blue
The reason i'm kinda pissed that Cosmo turned into a girl is because now he's all whiny and depressed and it did nothing to cure his happiness. I just feel bad for him because being transgender is a mental disorder and often times people who change their sex regret it later.
To all of you complaining that glitches are bullshit: Don't hate that he's doing something you will never be able to replicate. Also, he explains the history and evolution of this speed run. Right now he's doing the fastest possible run, but if he wanted to he could still kick your ass in a 100% run.
It's amazing how well he can keep his train of thought going and tell a story 100% accurately and completely while SIMULTANEOUSLY playing the game with perfect precision. I can barely answer simple questions while playing league.
When we have these speedrun events, people can donate money for different things. Such as the filename for the game. In this case, BFJERKY got the most amount of money. At this very moment, we are holding another AGDQ: gamesdonequick.com
It's pretty amazing that this was posted only 1.5 years ago and already this run is so different. He just beat it @ 18:10 a few days ago! I don't know much about speed runs but what he was talking about with getting down Ganon's tower faster---seems he figured that part out. :)
Legit run = A run that follows the rules set for what you are doing. That, by definition, is a legit run, no matter what you opinion may be on it. For most games, there are various categories of speedruns. For this game there are for example "All Dungeons", "100%" and "Glitchless". All are legit runs as long as you follow the rules for it.
cassandra wilson It is a legitimate run. Exploits are fine for AGDQ speed runs, as opposed to things like rom patching, cheats, or tool-assists like frame-by-frame runs. Learn the difference. If you don't like that, stop watching AGDQ videos. Coming to an AGDQ video and complaining about the AGDQ format makes you look like an idiot. Also, please stop talking period, and leave this TH-cam channel.
The intelligence of people in the comments really makes me lose faith in humanity. In case you guys weren't aware, these 'virgin nerd geek glitching kids w/e other bullshit you guys come up with' were doing this live for charity. Shame none of you are doing anything like that instead of sitting there hating on people that raised more money than you probably made in your life.

I didn't understand what the asian guy said. Could you please explain to me? ( english is not my first language)
Yann Fokinha
he said "because he picked it up" as in, the sword was on the ground and he grabbed it.
Thank you
Speedrunning community can sometimes be toxic but there are still some great friendly people in it.
jcthenerd Can people just watch speed runs in the speed run community? I dont think I have the potential to be like these Kings and Queens of gaming.
Every speedrun:
"I'm probably gonna mess this up"
(Does it perfectly)
becuz they trey a couple hundred times where they mess up, they just won't be uploaded
This run was done live at a marathon, it was getting uploaded whether it took twenty tries for every trick, or just one.
If you had watched any OoT runner (or most any other serious speedrunner of another game) you would realize that these guys practice the tricks a lot. Often the difference between a 'good' run and a 'bad' run is only a 1-2 minutes and involves very few mistakes.

David Wenzel 🤣🤣 and it’s also Tool assisted
And that stupid light sage thought Link was too young to be the hero of time!
Lmao true.
Jack Tama why do they play only happens versions of games I'm speed runs?
takes him literally all 20 minutes to explain what the fuck just happened. still don't get it honestly.
The good ole days. Speedrunning being as big and normal as it is is amazing for the runners, but damn do I miss these days lmao
where did it all go so wrong
i actually clapped at this. this was awesome, and it's awesome to hear you explain everything you were doing. great run Cosmo!
nerd.
This blew my mind.
no way for a human being to do that trick
ayyyy lmao
+Jason Panosso he wasn't talking about void warp if you were thinking that, void warp was discovered later
+Jason Panosso Not surprised to see a memer like you on this video :^)

This video makes me sad
So talented... The empathy is strong even if I dont know her... Lets hope she can get a safe and chill life after everything that happened. Cosmo will always be in our heart! :(
I love Cosmos commentary even though i can't understand what he means it feels good to know it

well if you think its cheating but none cares
well, it essentially is. But, that's not saying there isn't skill involved.

Man, I've watched this video at least 20 times.
So fascinating and such great commentary.
I love the fact that he talks and explains everything he does. It's one of the reasons that I love his speedruns. In my opinion they make the run way more entertaining.
I agree. It's so much more interesting when you kind of know what's happening and why.
RIP Cosmo
Numbers...
+Sexual Penguin RIP why? Did he stop speedrunning?
You should look at his other videos to find out, i forgot what his new channel was called.
his penis is gone
Cosmo is now Wanda
This video is back, yaaay!
TARANNN
I am completely mesmerized by this.
I'll never understand people who think a speedrun means beating the game without glitches or skips. There would be absolutely no fun in watching someone play a game for 6 hours straight, not using any cool exploits or glitches. I would love to meet someone who finds that enjoyable. (Not really)
You wanna meet a guy that likes only glitches and exploits? Well your talking to the right guy
I just realized I never beat this game :O
+Earley Cuyler Apparently it only takes 20 mins! Whats your excuse?
+styot the 100% speedrun took over 5 hours lol
+Earley Cuyler lol I completed this game at least 7 times. I had no life back theb
+Daniel McNeary u had plenty of life. do what you enjoy
How are there no comments about that light-up Triforce in the background?! I NEED THAT THING!!!
This run was entertaining
don't read the comments
Back when speed running charity events were fun and down to earth.
Stuff like this pisses me (a guy who has played this game dozens of times and spent easily 100 hours in it) off the wall.
Having said that, holy shit is this insanely cool,
this guy has played oot for thousands of hours.
100 hours is nothing when it comes to competitive gamers
He needs to see the sun
Austin Whitford Not sure if he knows what the real sun looks like...though he definitely knows the OoT sun/moon cycle by heart.
It took you 100 hours to beat this game? Such noob.
May I ask why the game is in japanese? I've a seen quite a few of these speed runs in Japanese.
It has to do with japanese text being smaller than english text so it speeds the run up a bit more.
matthew smith
Ahhh, ok, makes sense, I figured it might be something to do with it being a speedrun, but I couldn't figure it out.
Thanks :)
Denzien2 Don't worry dude, everyone asks that question sometimes.
Denzien2
If you want to be more precise, Japanese characters will shave off more than 10 minutes in a full, nonglitched playthrough. It only clears a few seconds off of a heavily glitched run like this, but the record is decided by a few seconds at a time these days.
Abigail Margaret actually, the text goes the same speed; there are just fewer characters. and link does not run any faster. misinformation.
Falling rocks are random, and this method can never be achieved by a human being.. How wrong you were Cosmo.. Congrats on 18.10 :) Reference @ 21:11
Yes, that made me laugh, too. I came to the comments section to see if anyone else caught it.
TAS-only pretty much doesn't exist for this game.
I could listen to Cosmo talk about how paint drys and it could still be interesting
This is bullshit, using exploits to finish a game, not really finishing the game the way intended
If they wanted to make the game airtight and with only one way to play, they would have.
All speedruns utilize "exploits" in some fashion or another - the question is, where do you draw the line? You probably use exploits that you don't even think of when you play through most games.
Harrison Smith In all respect I disagree, that is why patches were invented... Today when an exploit is discovered the developers get on it and start to look for a solution thus releasing a follow up patch.
this is not about finishing the game normally, guess what they´ve still finished it normally atleast a billion times this is just a speed run to see hpw fast you can beat it...

I do think a glitch is cheeting. That is something the developers did not intend.
So using any gameplay element in a way that a developer didn't intend is cheating? I guess you should tell everyone who rocket-jumps in quake they are cheating
What is rocket jump. Two categories one for speed play through one for use of glitches.
Glitches are part of the game. It doesn't matter what the developers "intended". The glitches are still there, which makes them allowed to be used in speedruns.
Because of how glitch heavy this game is, there are other categories. Such as "All dungeons", "100%" and even "Glitchless". No category is more legit than the other, none is cheating as long as the rules are followed but they all do loads of things that weren't "intended".
You can find the records for those categories, and more, here: zeldaspeedruns.com/leaderboards/oot/
wrong. it's part of the game.
I love that you're explaining exactly what happens. That's really interesting.
It's just awesome how calm he seems to be while doing this.
When I try to speedrun, well number one I just suck, but secondly, I tell everyone "SHUT UP YOUR MAKIN ME FUCK UP!!!!!". lol
Your girlfriend should be proud
This comment hasn’t aged well
damn I'm impressed a bunch of dudes figured all that out
And also after watching a bit it's insane how in depth you guys get with figuring out the glitches. How do you even come across some of that stuff? It's so specific.
It's all mathematics. When you are playing the game you don't realize that everything that is happening on screen is part of a mathematically specific program. Due to the limitations of the N64 memory the programmers had to take many shortcuts when coding the game. These shortcuts end up being exploited when people figure out glitches that are tied in to the values the player is not suppose to have control over. All you need to do is have an understanding of how the game is coded and what causes the glitches. After that it's all a matter of doing the math and figure out what values you can control and how.
Very very interesting and thank you for the insight! It's definitely much more in depth and creative than people take this thing for.
You can look into some instructions the ROM executes to get really specific. There are debuggers that allow us to look at some values the game uses.
Man, AGDQ certainly had humble beginnings.
Cosmo man. Miss u buddy .
Rip Cosmo he will never raise donger again
:(
...TH-cam where the fuck did you take me this time? Oh god now I have to watch every other speedrun on the right column...
Cosmo we miss you buddy!!
I really enjoyed the commentary, his insight about the game is amazing. It's also really cool that this run was basically the result of a collaboration of countless different people over a decade or something. It really is amazing what things you can discover from a game when you put enough time into it, like Cosmo said.
I have a whole new appreciation for speedrun community now.
Thankfully knitting lady kept quiet this time
and no disrepectful knitting
"No way for a human to do the tower HESS" how far we're come Kappa
nerds.
but nah zelda is dank
This is easily the nerdiest corner of the internet....
It's sweet here
how the fuck does somebody even manage to find that glitch to skip to the castle from the deku tree... nevermind being able to find out how to replicate it .
+Doggety Doggie Link me cause I'm lazy and a lost bastard? :)
+Doggety Doggie lol
***** Hahah still waiting ;)
hahahaa you're welcome
+TUBESTEAKNIG Pointers are magic. All it takes is a good wizard to figure them out.
This guy is the master
Ben Widdup girl*
30 guys. 1 woman only xD
I see 2 women. ....or do I?
I've never seen so much virginity and sexual failure.. Jajaja
Jajaja loool 1 woman. the other is a shemale :$
+Kite Marshall I'm assuming you've asked all these guys about their sexual life?
COOLIO MCGOOLIO no but needless ask.. xddd
gosh narcissa I feel sorry for you?? you were finally able to take that step and out yourself and all you get is hate?? you're still the person you used to be, you still got major video game skills but you're probably way happier now than you've been before ( or at least I hope that) don't let these transphobic guys get you down
+Kathara "You're still the same person you used to be" "Happier now than you've been before"
No, her hand is fucked up from speedrunning and all she does is mope around and talk about depressing shit. If you knew Narcissa before her change you should know that what she is right now isn't the same as her in the past. If she was the same then no one would have left her except for the transphobics, however this isn't the case.
***** gud
This comment^
I understand quantum physics more than I understand this
Now you can beat the game without the sword, there is mido skip, there is the GOD HESS skip, the faster wess to Kakariko, skaters faster forest escape setup. This is why I love this game as a speed run. Not just this category but all OOT category's. MST, 100%, No RBA/WW. The game is just so broken it's so fun to watch all the different possibilities. Just watch a bingo one night and see all the different broken routes to complete 5 simple tasks. Fucking epic!!
Cosmo owns this game, wow! Under 23 minutes that's quicker than any of the temples can even be cleared on a normal run!! I've watched this twice now I wonder if 22:38 min will ever be broken...
Current WR is 19:05 afterall. And 22:38 wasn't even the record when he made this run anyway =P:
Cosmo's sub 20 now.
Tompa A Tompa spreading the speedrunning knowledge even in YT comments
I knew sub-20 was possible by skipping straight to the credits but not by any other run, I'll try and find it. If any of you have it post the link here 'cos I'd like to see it.
harKazoid86 I forgot where I saw it but if you go on Zelda Wiki this has been broken. (Go to Zelda Wiki Speedruns)
Back when this guy wasnt a nutcase
what if he isn't a nutcase though
Many nerds wasted their lives to bring us this information...
CLASSIC MEMORIEZ
I REMEMBER SEEING AN ARTICLE ABOUT HIM FROM NBC
CRAZY HOW LIFE CHANGES 😞
What's the fasted time for a no-glitch speed run?
Well, that makes sense.......
I missed Cosmos, now he's become Nacissa Wright. Wtf happened to you. I will still follow and watch his streams however.
Same here. :(
her* don't be a jackass just because someone is trans
***** He isn't being a jackass. He is just expressing his opinion on his transgender transformation. Some people preferred Cosmo over Narcissa, that doesn't necessarily mean that they are jackassess... They just would like to have the old Speed Runner God and old Cosmo back.
Resurrextion Clu NARCISSA does not exist for your enjoyment. Your "opinion" on her gender doesn't mean shit, and if you think insulting her misgendering her isn't being a jackass you need to reevaluate yourself.
doobieshrum SHE is fine, and her gender isn't hurting anything. YOU are a shithead.
Why are people sitting here watching these vids only to judge people they dont know and use stereotypes such as nerds and virgins?! Seriously thats what you came here for?! You looked at a vid of someone doing something you cant do, who does it because theyre smart and are interested, their brains obviously can process a hell of alot more than "how to get laid" and they do it for charity yet here come these idiots talking shit about the waste of time?! Homies you just spent a good half hour looking at something you dissaprove of instead of actually going out there and getting "laid" seems kind of suspect...
It's a SPEEDRUN. Not a complete step by step walk through of every part of the game. It's a challenge to get to the end of the game as quickly as possible. Stop whining and enjoy the video or go look up legend of Zelda:ocarina of time walk through part 1.
Run starts at 1:12
+Gruj Thanks bro you just LITERALLY saved my life
dat navi dive though
glitchers.....
perfectly possible for you to do this exact same thing. WHich im trying to do, just to piss off my friends
It's called speed run for a reason >.>
Tard Repellent this is NOT a speedrun its a shitty glitching run,
link4585 that is a speedrun, how fast it humanly can be
link4585
stop trying, just please stop
lol this game is so broken its redicilous
the game is 21 years old wtf do you expect
10:25 was a donation from Taylor harris aka antvenom!!!
you do realise there can be more than one person in the world with the exact same name right?
+DatSnowMan true but Ive recently found out they are friends/ know each other
RIP Cosmo ;(
did he die?
No
Did Cosmo die
Kristopher Somwaru Just answered that, he didn't, but his penis did. She's transgender now. Google Narcissa Wright.
lul
These guys made my favorite yearlong childhood game look like their bitch in 22 minutes & 38 seconds!!!!!!!! And for the most shocking part- Beating Ganon with only a deku stick?!?!?!? Seriously?!?!?!?!? These guys made the Game developers their bitches!!!!!
21:29 Beef Jerky!!
I wish i had friends like you
Who is this cosmo noob? Talk to me when you find the TriStar like I did.
TriStar
cosmo noob
*cosmo noob*
if Aliens asked me about what's possible for a human being to achieve i'd show them this guy
Why are people complaining about him using glitches? The ones hes doing are taking more skill than doing the game and even if he uses no glitches hes would still beat ur time
do these guys have real jobs?
This is his job. No, I'm not joking.
so he gets paid for this?
Albert Einstein Twitch (streaming service) has an option for subscribing to a channel as a way of supporting it ($5 a month). He also gets ad revenue from both youtube and twitch. And donations directly through paypal, in which people can send comments that are read during the stream (usually 5k~10k concurrent viewers).
***** All donations during this stream go to anti cancer charities. However, he does get payed through twitch and youtube.
I know. I was talking about speedrunning in his own channel being his job. :)
Finding these glitches isn't really that hard. Some people here might have the impression that these guys found it through pure trial and error and years of work. Not so. All you need is a good emulator and debugging tool and you can step into the code while you play and if you're a programmer, you can spot these glitches.
Don't get me wrong though. I'm sure these kids put in a tremendous amount of work and effort. Well done.
The whole point is that those kinds if tools *weren't* used, that this was done organically.
aarduino1 He's saying that many of the tricks were found with tools, not that the run was done with tools.
So what glitches have you found, since you're so fluent in speedrunning?
StillSpy Wrong. The real question is; what glitches have YOU found?
Use bugs to get bugs
i dont see the point of this if you glitch your whole way through the game..
then you clearly don't understand the difficulty of the glitches they use. And don't bitch about it. There is another category called 100% where they do everything.
Calum Morris
Fucking idiots like you are what's wrong with the scene at the moment.
You lable your cheatruns as Speedruns. You claim to beat a game as fast as possible, when actually all you care about making the credits pop up as fast as possible, not playing/beating the actual game.
I bet if you would find a glitch that let you skip to the credits directly from the start menu, you would jizz into your pants, because you have a new smallest time to wave around.
Calum Morris Oh yea, the "difficulty" of the glitch, i bet it's way harder to do a glitch than to go through the whole game..
Also, I don't think they found these glitches right away, I'm pretty sure anyone that played this for the first time without knowledge of the glitches found only one at most and played the whole thing normally, if anyone found these kind of glitches on the first try, is because they designed the game then, as simple as that.
toasty Shruk Sir, the point is not to get some kind of new best time to obtain bragging right... The point is to challenge your mind by picking apart the game mechanics piece by piece and the satisfaction that brings (especially to those of use who love to study video games/computer code) is amazing. Furthermore it is human nature to boast about our achievements (I don't have an explanation for that one as I do not study Anthropology) but yeah, if I found a way to get to the 'end game' by utilising the games mechanics (in doing so challenging my mind) I would love to share that fact with other people who share the same interests. The whole concept is very fascinating much like how to get Mew in pokemon red and blue
back b4 cosmo lost it
Awesome game, this brings back some memories, mind you only 22minutes worth of memories lol
I'm amazed by the tricks to skip through the game. It's always cool finding secrets.
I love watching my favorite childhood games get speed runs.
The reason i'm kinda pissed that Cosmo turned into a girl is because now he's all whiny and depressed and it did nothing to cure his happiness. I just feel bad for him because being transgender is a mental disorder and often times people who change their sex regret it later.
Wait, Cosmo is trans?
+Professor Sycamore yes
+NewLife No, it's not a mental disorder and that's incredibly ignorant and transphobic. Educate yourself, it's only a google search away.
why are his nails painted
Because he got nail varnish and painted them
LoowisK or because he was going tranny & i spotted it 2 YEARS AGO
To all of you complaining that glitches are bullshit: Don't hate that he's doing something you will never be able to replicate. Also, he explains the history and evolution of this speed run. Right now he's doing the fastest possible run, but if he wanted to he could still kick your ass in a 100% run.
It's amazing how well he can keep his train of thought going and tell a story 100% accurately and completely while SIMULTANEOUSLY playing the game with perfect precision.
I can barely answer simple questions while playing league.
whats with BFJERKY? i dont get it.
When we have these speedrun events, people can donate money for different things. Such as the filename for the game. In this case, BFJERKY got the most amount of money.
At this very moment, we are holding another AGDQ: gamesdonequick.com
Tompa A thanks!
My favourite slot in any speedrun event ever. An absolute classic. Thanks Narcissa
"Its hard to say this run is ever going to get any faster": Cosmo 2013. Cosmo you should've known better. #GodHess #Swordless
rest in peace Cosmo.
What?
Mindblown
some heavy transphobia in here, jesus
It's pretty amazing that this was posted only 1.5 years ago and already this run is so different. He just beat it @ 18:10 a few days ago! I don't know much about speed runs but what he was talking about with getting down Ganon's tower faster---seems he figured that part out. :)
wow....just wow
Is cosmo gay?
No he is married to Wanda and has a child
ALAN JR. Well i noticed he had colored nails and i just assumed
i knew alot of guys who had colored nails.. coz their gf just love doing that to them..
ALAN JR. he also has a godkid
Icegodthehero2008 it was a joke to The Fairly Oddparents
This does not count at all
Of course it does. It's a legit run. And so is his fantastic 18:10 WR.
A legit run is you play the whole game. A fake speedup is you skip the whole game! See the difference?
Legit run = A run that follows the rules set for what you are doing. That, by definition, is a legit run, no matter what you opinion may be on it.
For most games, there are various categories of speedruns. For this game there are for example "All Dungeons", "100%" and "Glitchless". All are legit runs as long as you follow the rules for it.
I have asked everyone in my family and friends, they say it doesn't count. So please stop talking to me.
cassandra wilson It is a legitimate run. Exploits are fine for AGDQ speed runs, as opposed to things like rom patching, cheats, or tool-assists like frame-by-frame runs. Learn the difference.
If you don't like that, stop watching AGDQ videos. Coming to an AGDQ video and complaining about the AGDQ format makes you look like an idiot.
Also, please stop talking period, and leave this TH-cam channel.
The intelligence of people in the comments really makes me lose faith in humanity. In case you guys weren't aware, these 'virgin nerd geek glitching kids w/e other bullshit you guys come up with' were doing this live for charity. Shame none of you are doing anything like that instead of sitting there hating on people that raised more money than you probably made in your life.
