I used to feel bad for the bosses that just sit in a dungeon and wait for an adventurer only to end up dying, I feel worse for these bosses that never see an adventurer.
Watching a TAS of a long game like this is much, much better when the people involved with the creation of it are commentating. It makes it so much more watchable to know what and why things are happening. Good show guys!
A Google User It's a TAS. If you don't know what that means, it easily boils down to this: he has a program that allows him to see his inputs in real-time, and he can go back and edit these inputs frame by frame in order to create perfect play. The term TAS itself stands for Tool Assisted Speedrun or Tool Assisted Superplay.
I noticed Midna's shadow outside of twilight zones when I played too. I have a strong feeling it was intentionally made that way because the Twilight Realm is the realm of shadows, plus Midna always makes herself part of Link's shadow when he warps somewhere. Therefore it makes sense that you could potentially see her shadow even if her physical form isn't present. LOZ titles have more attention to detail that some people realize, but they're typically not in places you would expect.
3:30 As a german who is used to watch many videos in English, it is always fascinating how I don't recognize that a game is in german until someone says it.
If a single human being can pull off what you did with the pillars in city in the sky, I will personally drive them to the store so they can pick out a candy bar.
@34:08 - Seeing Midna's shadow while you're Wolf Link outside of the Twilight is not only intended, but a cool little feature. She mentions earlier in the game that she will hide in Link's shadow while outside the Twilight.
I feel like the commentary is perfectly summed up by 2:27:00 "Thank god you were saved by all these people" "I know, all these people that we've met throughout our journey, for like, two seconds each. And one person we never met." "*b-oh*"
I guess the point was that Midna shouldn't be able to cast a shadow there in the first place. Yeah, she lives *inside* your shadow, so she couldn't cast one there as she isn't sitting on Link's back there yet.
This game is timeless for me, and it's story and characters are always amazing to me no matter how much time passes. The gameplay, it's damn near perfect. Knowing that this community exists warms my heart in a way I can't really explain, and seeing it beaten like this just amazes me, to think a game I would happily spend hour upon hours in can be beaten so quickly, just wow. Good stuff man
you're an amazing content producer, gym, and your dedication and contribution to the community is honorable. i appreciate your commentary a lot as well. i hope you're proud of your work!
I've got no idea what TAS is, however you got me to sit through an almost 3 hour long video in one sitting where I normally dont have the patience to even watch a 20 minute video. Thank you.
24:21 Oh my, Link randomly yelling in a menu is funny. It's like when I'd get a game over in Super Mario Sunshine and Mario'd start yelling "WOOOOOOOOOWWWWW~" the moment the menu appeared... Why does _that_ happen in that game, anyways?
I'm glad you told me to watch the credits because not only was there still twilight in some of the scenes in the credits but also when a place covered in twilight showed, the twilight music started playing over top of the credit music until the scene in the twilight was over.
I've always thought that as time goes on most games get less and less broken. I think I need to add an amend that a bit. They get harder and harder for humans to do the tricks, but TASs still turn games into swiss cheese. Awesome vid. I really appreciate all the work that went into doing this. Sort of encourages me to go back and finish TP.
Break Sliding? More like Moonmoonwalk. But now advisely, if you go on the map screen you can access warp mode by pressing Z, avoiding conversation with Midna. I always thought, this way around was faster.
watching you snowboard and spin attacking so you are barely able to land, and also in the twilight palace with a quarter heart, gave me extreme anxiety
Holy shit dude, that was amazing! I cant remember watching youtube video this long without break. I was so amazed by your work I couldn't look away. It was incredible how you "outplayed" the game so many times and pushed it to the limit. I also liked how entertaining your commentary was, always made me laugh. Amazing Job How you noped out of the Sand-Castle bossfight xD
2:26:58 I remember being able to light the 4 torches in any path, though each torch will go out after a specific time, so you can practically only do it in one pattern. I was once able to just do a square, and I didn't even know there was a specific pattern to it.
I'm only casually into watching speedruns, but this sort of shit absolutely blows my mind. Like, how do you even begin to figure out that rolling into a wall will prevent a spin cycle from Zant? It's not like that TAS tells you what to do, you have to program it to do these precise maneuvers-
Basically when making a TAS people generally have access to something called memory watch. This tool allows you to see the internal values of the game and see how they can be manipulated.
34:24 This is also the case when you can transform... Just look closely and you will see that Midna is there in the shadows. It's an intentional detail from the devs, as Midna is currently your shadow (Since she couldn't survive in her normal form on the light world. Only after Zelda saved her life)

What means TAS?
@@jono297 Tool Assisted Speedrun, meaning its a long series of recorded inputs
‘The master sword cutscene is one that unfortunately we cannot skip’ that’s a weird way of saying thank fuck we can watch this amazing cut scene again
I know right?
I’m glad they couldn’t skip it I wanted to see it cause I haven’t in a long time lol
Man
cool the first time, probably not very cool the 5000th time.
the master sword cutscene in this particular zelda title I find somewhat underwhelming
"This boss is scary. Intimidating. Yeah let's not fight this guy."
And here we have a gate.. However gates are broken so we're just going to run through it.
I wanna know how he just glides right through the gate...
Yeah but how does he get the frame right first try?
It's a TAS

It's crazy that it took you less time to beat the game than it did for me to beat Faron on my first playthrough.
That's understandable given the bloated introduction however, Faron is the most tedious part of TP

1:44:27 I'm so glad this cutscene is unskippable
Jason B x) best cutscene ever
Pflichtszene!
Nintendo had their priorities straight
I love it when a TAS can move so fast that they just have time to mess around like at 2:12:05
They're the Swag strats
1:41:00 & 1:48:10 If you want to see the absolute sickest strats
bruhhhhhhhh
Watch from 1:48:00
Nice hikage
it's been almost a year but never seen this game sped through it and holy shit at 1:48:1
34:08-34:19 its actually a easter egg cause you know "Midna is always at your shadows" and when she comes out of it she is not in the shadow anymore
It's more than an easter egg, this is where Midna hides when you're in the light world, cause she's from the Twilight world.
Yeah, I thought everyone knew/understood that
She explicitly comes out of the shadow too. I dunno, might've been bait
I think that only goes to show how little speedrunners care about the plot.
I guess the point was that Midna shouldn't be able to cast a shadow there in the first place. Yeah, she lives *inside* your shadow, so she couldn't cast one there as she isn't sitting on Link's back there yet.

"Now we've wrong warped into the Okami TAS." Brilliant.
Probably one of the best TAS runs I’ve seen for any game, nice one!
When watching with subtitles, it calls the spinattack "Spinach Egg."
"Air speed is fasted when sledding and spinach eggs conserve our air time most"
Truly a little known fact about spinach eggs.
now a mod where every one is wearing iron boots. All characters and enemies, I want to see keese stuck to the ground in a boot.
I want to see the birds with iron boots, taxing around.
the bacteria need iron boots too... the world must become a sea of iron boots.
'Link, hero chosen by the Goddess, we need you to save the worl-'
'No problem, I'll be back for lunch'

Now I can properly appreciate this content 🍿 🍿
This is insane
damn, now i really want to play zelda tp again....
its my fav game :3
Mine too!

Discovered you thanks to TH-cam Recommendations. Awesome stuff you earned yourself a sub mate.
Man this TAS guy is really good. He should enter tournaments or something.
Ik he is so damn good at games
(Anyone trying to woooosh me this is a joke)
I heard he tried to submit runs to speedrun.com, but he always gets his runs rejected, I guess speedrunners just hate him because of how fast he is
I've got no idea what TAS is, however you got me to sit through an almost 3 hour long video in one sitting where I normally dont have the patience to even watch a 20 minute video. Thank you.
Tool-Assisted Speedrun, the inputs used are carefully constructed and highly optimized for speed. Essentially the theoretical perfect speedrun.
I really enjoy watching these! The insanity of the TAS and you guys explaining what’s going on is really fun to watch
24:21 Oh my, Link randomly yelling in a menu is funny. It's like when I'd get a game over in Super Mario Sunshine and Mario'd start yelling "WOOOOOOOOOWWWWW~" the moment the menu appeared... Why does _that_ happen in that game, anyways?

Bless you for actually doing audio balancing (and quite quickly) since some people just don't and it's awful.
"There are 1080 rolls in the whole run"

Third time watching this and it's as awesome as the first one. Great Job!
Half an hour into the video and I just noticed the german overlay...
I'm german...
That's belastend
Incredibly impressive! Great work!
