    I thought a video call on an SNES was unbeatable, but this is a masterpiece. Not only is it technically impressive, the artistry legitimately matches the original game to a point where it's hard to tell the real from the fabricated.

      All of it for a great cause, to bring people together, and to touch the hearts of every kid who'd ever wondered if you that picture of Super Saiyan 8 Goku they saw was real, if you could unlock Luigi in Mario 64, what the secret of Stop N Swop was...
      ...and if you could somehow trek through the sacred realm and hoist up the triforce in Ocarina of Time, like that one good edit they saw one day. To say this is an inspiring gesture and a work of art to anyone with or without context is underselling it.

    Didn’t think I would get emotional during a beta showcase, but man once Link actually got the Triforce, some part of my childhood finally felt complete in a way I never thought possible. OoT was such an important part of growing up and led to bonding with life long friends. But then to see the Botw scene integrated with chat, the dam broke, and I don’t think I was the only one.
    Some may find it silly to get emotional over someone basically ROM hacking an old game, but with how the world is right now, damn was it good to be a kid again, even if only for an hour.
    Thanks to everyone who worked on this project for all the resurfaced memories flooding in, childhood dreams fulfilled, and the sincere tears of joy this 26 year old needed today.

      Ocarina of time was probably the most important game of my life and it might just be the starting point of my entire personality as I played it when I was just 4 years old.
      Then the end, with chat all saying Here Together, and knowing what a great cause this was all for, I just couldn't help it, I really did tear up.
      This was nothing less than incredible and DwangoAC, Savestate, Sauraen, TASBot and everyone else who worked on this, I hope you're proud of what you've made here, because it wasn't just a fantastic run, you also really did make dreams come true.

      The Zoras Domain was actually meant to melt and give you access to the entrance they used there to visit the unicorn fountain, not sure if it was the location of the fountain or not. There was meant to be an additional adult dungeon with Rauru to get the Light medallion that was cut entirely. A big part of the original game being used here was because it was "cleaned" of unused content in future releases, as well as bug fixes (not sure if they used any of the fixed bugs or not, a lot of this is relatively recent discoveries but perhaps).

      @@dwangoAC I don't know where you go from here, but I would avoid the natural inclination to go "bigger" and "better" from what you have here. This run was incredibly creative and perfectly executed, and I think it needs to be left as a beautiful ode to OOT, and GDQ, and gaming in general.
      I don't know if it would be good for the TAS community if TAS showcase became a one-up contest of who can inject more and more outrageous code into the game, because expectation will quickly become higher that what could be delivered. One of the best things about this run is how unexpected it is. And I don't think you could capture it again. (Although, I'd love to be proven wrong! Lol)
      So instead of going into more technically impressive code injection for next year and beyond that, I would lightly suggest a different path. Perhaps more emotionally significant injection? The emotional aspect of this run was absolutely pitch perfect. I think there's some potential to go deeper in there.
      This is a fun idea: what about when you travel back in time 7 years in game, you play a VOD of GDQ from 7 years ago in the game engine. IDK how you would do that, but that's just an idea.

    I have never played OoT, and I didn't get to watch this live, but something about it still made me burst into tears when Zelda said "you asked to see your future, here it is."
    I grew up in a later era of TLoZ. The first game I played was Twilight Princess on the Wii, the first one I beat was Phantom Hourglass on the DS.
    Now I'm older and trying to revisit the games I missed, but its so different when there isn't the same culture around it anymore. This run gave me a glimpse into what it was like, and a little of the magic this game brought to so many people. If it can affect me so strongly, I can only imagine what it must feel like for people who grew up with this game.
    Fantastic job to the team and to the adorable TASBOT ❤

    I'm glad I watched this VOD blind. I've been a LoZ fan for a long time, but I was born after OoT was released and so never got to experience the culture of rumors that sprouted around it. Seeing people get so excited and nostalgic during this showcase not only gave me an idea of what that culture was like, it gave me the opportunity to experience its magic of speculation and discovery right alongside others.
    You did an amazing job showcasing the transformative potential of ACE and technical speedrunning. This was an exercise in both honoring and building on the legacy of a deeply loved game, and you did exactly that.
    Zelda has been a big part of my life for a long time, which is a major reason why this ending resonated with me. These games have come such a long way, and so has the community around them. I loved this, and I will remember Triforce% fondly for a long time.

      Database programming isn't anything to laugh about, it's hard to do right! :) We'd love to have you join us on the TASBot Discord server, we get into these kinds of technical discussions regularly and it's rewarding having so many people with diverse backgrounds contributing

Excellent work from everyone on the couch and behind the scenes and to everyone that donates, I'm glad so much good can be done with such a great community!

    I cried so much watching this miracle happen, this dream become reality, after more than two decades of my life with Ocarina of Time deep in my heart... This run is as legendary as the game itself. It shows what the past was, what the present can accomplish and what the future has in store for us. It's filled of memories of younger days that will never change with time. It's our wishes as children that turned to noble ambition. For a moment, it gave me back my childhood as it also saved Link's. I can't stop crying. This is so beautiful, it's art and engineering at the same time. Thank you so much for your work. Through hard work, you forced your knowledge into the game. So it can be said that you have courage, power and wisdom. You deserve to get the Triforce. You put the hearts of millions of people in balance. Can't thank you enough. I'm still crying. Something within me is finally complete.

    • @Sauraen
      @Sauraen ปีที่แล้ว +1

      He was not directly involved--he was in the Special Thanks because the code to make the Bunny Hood work was based on code he wrote for a previous mod (The Missing Link). He knew we were working on something but didn't know any of the details in advance. But yes, some of the tools we used would not have been as developed as they were/are if it wasn't for him and his projects.
