Ocarina of Time's Unluckiest Speedrun Trick

- The Zelda: Ocarina of Time any% speedrun changed forever in 2015, following the discovery of Get Item Manipulation (GIM). It was a terrible luck dependent glitch that scared many runners and viewers away. This is how speedrunners conquered terrible RNG and saved any%.

The extra funny thing is that nowadays Any% is under 4 minutes long and is coincidentally at an ~86% fail rate for the RNG needed to have a chance at world record.
KEKW
It's also way less cool to watch. Link just runs around kokiri forest doing random shit until suddenly the game's over.
@@lkjkhfggd it's very much not a spectator friendly category, beyond the initial shock of seeing it done. But it's really incredible from the game science perspective, and that's where it's merit really lies in terms of being able to appreciate it
@@lkjkhfggdtbh i dont get why anyone watches speedruns anyway like its cool theyvexist, the science behind some glitches is interesting but watching ppl do something over and over and over and over and over and over is boring no matter what it is
@@leaffinite2001 well, I don't get why anybody watches anybody live streaming video games at all. I like to see speed runs on TH-cam, where they've uploaded their best run.
If you played the video game as a kid and it took like 30 hours to beat, seeing someone beat it in 1 hour is mind blowing.
Must of been so stressful having the trick fail again and again in front of a massive crowd like that, them clapping along and cheering when it was successful was really cool, even though it wasn't fast the crowd got really into it, awesome to see.
Definitely understandable why he walked away from the category after that, would hate for a games luck to actively make you look bad
Fun fact, this glitch started a new issue for the OOT speedruns while resolving a previous issue at the same time, as the GIM glitch was responsible for the eventual fade in popularity of the iQue (a rare chinese-only nintendo system that many were opposed to, citing it as an unhealthy limitation to the category due to the difficulty picking one up) as a preferred device to speedrun on.
this is fascinating, thank you
Using Yu-Gi-Oh: Forbidden Memories music during the explanation of how unforgiving the RNG is was a *brilliant* choice.
That GDQ run has got to be heartbreaking
I can't imagine being in that position knowing the game is cursing you with the worst possible RNG in front of thousands of people...
I do love how much support he got though. Really nice to see!
Well the worst possible RNG would be if he kept trying that for the rest of Eternity without getting a single Deku nut, so when you think about it he was really lucky :)
@@DoctorDocMD1 in 5K unlucky.
Rnjesus is real
Imagine being the king of evil in your ultimate form, and getting your ass kicked by a 6 year old with a knife and a stick lmfao
I love these speedrun documentaries XD they're incredible.
Same bruh
that gdq clip is painful, oh my god
I flipping love your videos man! You and Pesky Plays are like the only channels keeping Oot alive
Despite the GDQ run being so unlucky, that was the hypest GDQ has ever been. We'll likely never see that level of energy again at a speedrun event.
I love how GIM is such a hard trick but it's 100% consistent in terms of RNG. The Defeat Ganon No SRM route that does GIM twice now is some of the highest skill expression in Ocarina of Time ever
I started following OoT shortly before all this, good memories. I used to hang out in Joden and then Skater streams. I remember an old skater stream that could make a cool random glitch video. He’s in forest temple climbing up the well vines and unequips iron boots a frame before emerging from the water. Boom, antigravity glitch and link is sidehop flying around. This was especially cool before srm completely broke everything. Plus it was super simple and even I could do it first try
And six months later a whole new route has been found.
Thanks for making such a crazy glitch easy to understand! Great video! 🤙🏼
The world of speedrunning is as astounding as ever. These documentaries are the bomb!
Mad creepypasta vibes at 3:38.
This is the content I open TH-cam weakly, hourly, thirsty, deprived, hungry for
Just now discovered this, thanks for the excellent video. I have a lot of affinity and nostalgia for this era.
I could watch speedrun explanations and retrospectives all day sometimes
Great video, glad GIM is so much better now lol
criminally low amount of subs for the effort going into these videos
I think with a lil more of a consistent upload schedule he would crush the speedrunning games niche
I 2nd this
been a while since i've watched such a high quality ocarina of time video, liked and subbed :)
Great vid!! Loving the BGM choices, too--Ocarina of Time, BoTW, Chrono Trigger... and is that the Mage Duel theme from Yu-Gi-Oh! Forbidden Memories at 12:30?!
I do be farmin’ Meadow Mage until I get that MBD
@@LunaticJNow that's a blast from the past
I hope the people who did this speed run didn’t go nuts while playing it lol
But they wanted to get the nuts, and went nuts when they didn’t get nuts
@@LunaticJ lol 😂
@@LunaticJno matter what happened, the result was nuts!
That’s double nuts.
@@nugboy420which only has a 1.5625% chance of happening
Amazing video, very entertaining even when being an OoT speedrunner myself.
You did a great job at making this video for both beginners and people with more advanced!knowledge, props for that mate.
And now you don't even have to enter deku tree for defeat Gannon lol
the reason that theyre gohma larva is cuz their deku nuts didnt drop
so crazy that when the crowd started clapping Joden got crazy luck
Just sayin, any time I hear Chrono Trigger music, I pay attention. Good inclusion, man. Great video, good hook, and solid info. Learned some new things on this video. Subbed
Hot take, but that GDQ disaster is entirely the organizers' fault. That run should not have been accepted.
An 85% failure rate that will kill a run is the furthest thing from marathon safe.
I mean, with a 20-30 second retry time, it's not *that* bad for a marathon run on paper. There's a ~50% chance of getting it within 4 tries.
Always love a new LunaticJ video!
>shows the crowd going absolutely nuts
"It got a lukewarm reception"
Idk about that
This was the worst curse Skater ever unleashed on himself. My guy
It’s crazy that 20 yr old+ games are having new glitches found in them every day.
Ok the catharsis of when the Nut Drops is a massive mood
That one GDQ that featured this trick with Skater and Cosmo was a ROUGH watch. I forget if Joden was also there.
J you should do a video on Tak and the Power of Juju speed runs! It’s a 3D platformer on GameCube with a small but awesome speedrun scene! Love your videos! :)
‘85% Fail Rate’ same fail rate as my math class 🤣🥲😫😭
The way this reads it sounds like 85% of the class failed, which would mean a bad teacher
Aw poor Jodenstone during that marathon run. I’d be so stressed out.
Dang what a trip to see druncle on a video like this. I used to watch him like 5 to 6 years ago haha. I learned Kak wess with him lol
I love the Bowser's inside story soundtrack!
0:00 in a galaxy far, far away.
Well now I wish I'd seen that GDQ run already. I'm a fan of hilariously bad RNG moments.
Keep up the awesome videos man! I don’t do any speed running my self besides a 16 star run for SM64, but I don’t do it very fast😂 but all of these videos are so interesting and entertaining to watch! Love the videos!
The GDQ run could've been worse...
It could be watching someone messing up a Windwaker pause buffer multiple times...
You couldn't pay me to watch another Windwaker speedrun after suffering through that.
Remember when that halo 2 runner who faked all his runs tried to run through halo 2 and failed in front of EVERYONE😂😂😂😂
Maipulation.
Wait, why can't bottle duplication be used to get a second bottle in this case? That would definitely allow for two bottles, and it's a very easy glitch to do, even for casual players.
Always love LunaticJ content!
Side note- if you’re able, can you give some insight as to what’s up with the Lowest Percent channel? It’s been dormant for over half a year.
I can't believe I've never heard of this trick before, wow
10 years anniversary
What song is playing at the very end of the video? You might consider putting a credits section for the music used. Could be cool. Anyway great vid with so much catch-up content. New sub incoming
I have now made a pinned comment listing every song used in the video
Amazing video!
I hate waiting for the goma larvae's nuts to drop
Those odds are so huge. Would never happen with just a couple people watching but hundreds of thousands of people watching and hoping and cheering...... I'm seriously wondering if quantum luck and the observer effect actually had something to do with the results. That's astounding
lets go bingo!! 🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥 💪💪💪🔥🔥
your videos are always high quality
Good video man
Every copy of this video is personalized. . .
huh?
the main thing that pissed me off about the gdq run was people domated for a name, and he didn't use it. just using "J." that's when I said fuck him and never watched him again. he cared more about a time then he did the event raiser.
In 2014 it was still cosmo tho
Why did noone take action when the once-so-popular speedrun category started to die because of this glitch? They could have simply banned the glitch from Any%-runs, created a new category on the leaderboard or even allowed the usage of cheats/a modded ROM of the game to ensure a 100% success rate on the RNG-dependant element.
only the luckiest speed runners get the nut drop
Yes! More OoT! Would LOVE to see a video on OoT Randomizers.
For me this will go down as one of the worst routes in speedrun history. Any% was quite unwatchable at the time, but historically it's amazing to look at its existence.
top 3 worst of all time are probably iQue any%, this, and Wii U MM any%, which is hilarious seeing as they’re all either this game or the one other game on the same engine
There’s a world of speed running. You guys won’t know about ..
I’m heavily debating posting gameplay of what I unintentionally ended up speed running as a person who’s ripped gaming in 2010 when my Jiji committed suicide.
There’s a lot of unrecorded depressed people with insanity syndrome, that got some out right Life after death style situations that end up becoming as but a mental strain as what happens at GDQ2015…
I’ll be real a lot of people need to post up and story up about the dread personally and virtually that’s gone down in just the weird Times
please put song credits for the songs used
Check the new pinned comment. Thank you for your suggestion!
Nut drop, get item manipulation process.. that's a lot of stuff to remember so I like to take short cuts and abbreviate things. Especially with the get item manipulation process. GIMP but nut drop is 2 syllables so I just say nut drop and GIMP... what?
can someone tell me what game the song at 2:25 comes from, im blanking so hard.
Chrono Trigger
Probably heard it from wiz khalifa- never been pt 2
Bro never checked the pinned comment 💀
20:33 shield a HWHAT
'narcissa' wright 😆
And?
it’s been nearly 10 years get over it already lmao
it could be 10,000 years and still make me laugh.@@TepidBlack
“Play pretend with me or else!!!!”😂
Cavi Cape music!!
Does somebody knows the piano music at 11:04 minute mark?
1/8 isn't bad for a 5-10 minute turnaround on RNG gate.
man and i thought modern gim was bad
I don’t like it when you say “nut drop”
February Forf, 2015
Ah nuts
That is all
HEY EVERYONE! OoT IS EASIER THAN IT’S EVER BEEN, PERIOD!
no… no wait… it- it just got harder then ev-
NEVER MIND IT’S EASIER THAN EVER AGAIN!
Also obligatory Let’s go Bingo
Do OoT runners constantly make jokes about nut drops?
you know peper mario 64 speedrun use ocarina of time srm
8 mintue reset for ~25% chance isn't that bad for a speedrun...
Music is to loud
omfg i did this so long ago. lmao gamefaq was a G. XD
Any% is just not fun to watch anymore.
I feel like it's more fun to watch people beat the game dungeon by dungeon.
Watch the MST category it’ll be on AGDQ tomorrow night
@@LunaticJ nice I don't work tomorrow either.
hehe
nut drops
I kind of hate any percent of this for a few reasons... but mostly how years of speedrunning glitches and tech just kind of disappear from the game. I hope a no wrong warp category becomes popular one day... for all games
No Wrong Warp is a really cool category I wish was more popular. It’s basically 2011 any% but with double GIM to skip the Light Arrow cutscene (longest cutscene in the entire game!)
Wait hold up so This game had TWO GLITCHES that almost killed the speedrunning scene of it???? The wrong warp with the 11th owl statue and this...... Bruv what
Hmmm
cool
Some advice for speed viewers; If ONE little bad rng section in an entire speedrun makes it unwatchable for you.. you shouldn’t be watching speedruns at all. Cause I got some bad news for you, this isn’t even the top 50 of bad rng sections I’ve seen in speedruns. There’s plenty of runs where you gotta reset for hours before you get a run with good rng. To each their own of course it’s just absurd we’re acting like this is the worst thing to happen to speedrunning… a single low rng chance section….
I don't think anybody is acting like that...
People aren't acting like that. You're the only one overreacting here.
Putting words in people's mouths just to call them out...
"Narcissa"
Only reason shit like this was super popular was because homies like me had nothing to watch after we came home from the back breaking labor. Glad Ontario is upping the immigration here super hard so I cant complain.
First
@@Cliffordlongheadok, you criminal bot
Narcissa write LUL
Nope would never do oot speedruns atleast on official Leaderboards I don’t like toxic communities.
with stuff like this you always have to ask shouldn't we just allow hacking to guarantee things like this. some luck based things are ok like when you need to farm drops of enemies that random drop chance is just time added to the run, but these tricks will be reset for until you get them first try so if everyone anyways only plays past if it is first try why not remove all the other runs before they even get played so that more palyers attempt this
Except that retrying RNG is a part of speedrunning culture basically. You want to change how the whole thing works to make it more viewable for you.
I think it should be allowed at GDQ though
@bingo
LET’S GO BINGO (I still need to finish Tears of the Kingdom before I grind bingo. Trust me I want to)
@@LunaticJ We'll always be here binging away, whenever you're ready :D
whats bingo (besides the game old people play)?
