    Just became a patron and probably a bit overdue. Your WR progression vids bring me so much joy- even when I have no connection with the game. They are so well done, so well researched and I can't wait to see what's next. I can tell this video took a long time to make, not to mention the research that goes into it. Seriously, keep it up. You have a gift and you're so good at this. Don't be fooled by off label 'WR Progression' vids- SummoningSalt is the master of the WR Progression vids.

      The community (Consisting of both VC & N64 runners) has decided several times to not split the leaderboards. Whilst no lag does give VC a severe advantage, and makes a meh VC time look better than a great N64 time, we still class it as the same game.
      There is also a filter function on SRC anyway which allows you to see the N64 leaderboard or the VC leaderboard for a certain category. Most N64 runners look at that for goals and where they are.

    I had to mention that i've probably seen this specific video about 5 times at least (along with the rest of your vids) but i JUST NOW noticed that fucking sick remix of Going Down the Fast Way. Bonus points.

      Especially with the major skips discovered, especially the deku tree --> Ganon's tower bringing it down to the low 17s. Honestly I love world record progressions with heavy glitch techs, it's crazy seeing how people break the game and abuse the code (I.e. Super Mario World)

      I think he should do 2 episodes, like he did for sm64. 1 for any%, and 1 for 100% and all dungeons

    Is there a reason the pictures preceding the DK64 revolution are blurred now?
