Triforce%

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 มิ.ย. 2022
- Triforce% is a hybrid RTA/TAS run of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time on an unmodified console and cartridge, meaning a live runner and TASBot cooperate to jointly play the game. Arbitrary Code Execution (ACE) is used to bring to life various beta and debug content cut from the final release of OoT, including assets and code left in the game cartridge. Today I'm playing a romhack version and exploring amazing beta & lore elements like the Unicorn Fountain, Overture of Sages, and more!

That BOTW part absolutely blew my mind, like WHAT??
things are pre planned
@@lauralea3154 of course it was, but didnt made it less impressive.
The fact that all runs in the same engine was wild.
@@vixxito Breath of the
Ikr
The most mindblowing thing was seeing Link with actual written dialogue and expressive gestures in N64-era stylization; even if only part of the ACE
Arbitrary code execution blows my mind every single time, I can never wrap my head around how it works in any game I see it pulled off in, it's just incredible
It's like magic to me, I truly cannot comprehend how that works, and I don't know if I want to ruin the mystique, heh. I feel like I just saw the real ending. Damn.
Arbitrary Code Execution. Arbitrary Code, computer code that is undefined and results are unknown/Arbitrary is executed (the computer performs the actions instructed by the code). By manipulating and taking advantage of an exploit/logic loophole in the game, a person can create their own instructive code for the computer to run, modifying the RAM bits. In this case the user created code comes from button press signals on a controller port, which are pre programmed on another computer to send the controller inputs. A human sending machine code via N64 controller could write 4 bits per button press, or 1 N64/MIPS instruction every 6 button presses, a MIPS instruction is always 24bits. Each instruction is as basic as Add/subtract/multiply/dived/compare/write a number or start a premade process/function.
@@JohnDoe11VII that helps but my mind is still absolutely blown.
It’s always crazy. The stuff people do in super Mario world with it is unreal.
It's not very hard to understand...
I never thought I'd see an in-game Triforce. I knew you can do pretty much anything once you have ACE, but to stitch that much together on the fly, no matter how long it's been in the making, is mind-boggling.
It took a community to find ACE, then a small team of 1-2 dozen people over about 2.5 years to program a machine to rewrite data on the game on the fly, inputting about 480 commands a second over about a minute (or 28,000+ commands). Absolutely impressive.
@@AkaiAzul it was a bit longer than just a minute. It took until the running man fight was over according to dwango to load everything in.
I want someone to turn this into an entire mod!
It would be so cool to be able play OOT in a beta-ish form!
It is a mod.
@@Floppafan96 It's a mod, but it's only playable in a very precise order.
What I want is for someone to make a mod where you can fully play through the game with this content, without needing to worry about it breaking if you try doing it out of order
what the actual fruck. I’m having an existential crisis just watching this. I feel like I just witnessed the singularity
it's like a bonus ending of the game unlocking after you finished the normal ending. Really liked the content. Melting the ice of zora's domain made me happy.
This was a fantastic showcase at AGDQ. Glad y’all posted this!
There were some questions that came to mind, like "
what happens if you pull the master sword as adult link?" and "what if you select the dialogue "Are you Zelda?" when talking with Sheik?
game crashes ...
Since these are not preexisting contents present in the cartridge and are inserted artificially using the ACE technique, these options need to be full programmed, otherwise the game would probably either crash, softlock, show a blank dialogue box or a random/glitch text, since it would try to access the "response" to these options and it would be "NULL".
I think that an example of something similar is when you interact to some NPCs in Zelda Majora's Mask during the 4th day glitch. The game tries to get the dialogue for the current day, but since there isn't dialogues to 4th day, some strange things happen.
there's a video from Sauraen that answers the second question...
Well he chooses that dialogue option in the video lol
Everything in the GDQ video was a pre-made mod that was being injected live by controller inputs. The game would have crashed..or nothing would happen..as the pre-made mod doesn't have instructions for those inputs.
They could mod it in the future to say whatever they want it to, but in the GDQ video, things are very linear and there are no other options available besides the ones they chose.
One of the greatest things I’ve ever seen at GDQ the bait and switch was God Teir
damn, kind of wish this wasnt the first place i was seeing this, but its not uploaded on the AGDQ channel yet so i cant watch it until its uploaded.
@@ArcRay20 We've made it past the embargo and it's now up! I hope you enjoy
Bro you don’t understand I broke down crying when I seen this this is nuts 😭😭🤧🤧🤧
Triforce% is honestly one of the greatest events in gaming history, to date.
It’s glorious. I highly recommend anyone who hasn’t to watch the full run at GDQ. Such an amazing piece of Zelda lore and history coming into being.
I always find myself coming back to this channel at least once or twice a year, falling in love with the style of content all over again. It's got that beautiful nostalgic feeling of late 2000's TH-cam mixed with a comforting nostalgia I just can't place. Keep it up man, I absolutely love this channel.
That breath of the wild model is insanely detailed for the n64. I'd love to know how yall did it because it doesn't look too far from the switch version
A *lot* of effort by someone on the team with extraordinary patience
It probably helps that there is not much scenery to render
@@JuddMan03 We deliberately removed bones and did various careful camera shots to keep the frame rate at 20 FPS
@@dwangoAC good stuff
-Is there download patch for that model to use in Zelda:OOT for real N64? That would be awesome
I understand ACE enough to grasp the concept of activating unused assets and actors, and I can even get behind creating custom text and new animations in existing assets... but it just absolutely blows my mind that they somehow created an entirely new map, two comparatively highly detailed characters with animations, _textures_ for those characters and even something that looks to be a custom cel-shader (???)... by simply having the TASbot make Link crouch and wiggle around for a few seconds in one spot!! How, just HOW?! Absolute wizardry and one of the greatest things to happen to OoT ever since its creation! I seriously hope some of the original staff members see this.
They NEED to make a mod like this public but have the content be functional and humanly accessible. Like please this is all I've ever wanted in an Ocarina mod.
They have uploaded an ability for players to use their tools and have the tools do much of the magic for you. Alas, they cannot upload already modded ROMs for legal reasons.
@@AkaiAzul maybe they could release a patch for the game, that's how many hack roms get away whit it.
@@AkaiAzul really? Where is it?
@@MyakoCheck the description, third link, it should have all the information you need.
I just want to see all of these discoveries and modes put together gigleak, SW97 and Triforce% made assets in one rom. Please! Its like there is a whole new game that was meant to be told in a whole new way!
Ive grown up watching your videos. You got me invested in beta content and zelda modding. I would spend all night watching the beta quests, the n64dd videos, and rumors. Now that ive grown up, I wonder what my younger self would think if he could see all his dreams come true. I tell you what I think right now, Im crying! This really was beautiful, and Im glad I can finally see something I always wanted to see with one of my favorite youtubers.
This comment really meant a lot. Thank you for sharing. 😁
Can you imagine being Eiji Aonuma and seeing this?
Some of this content & cutscene are masterpieces,
This takes me back to those old wind waker action replay vids I used to watch, but it was a demo or something so there were strange colorful rooms and cubic areas you'd never see in the final game. I might as well add that this also gives me some major dream nostalgia, growing up with zelda games have led me to experience dozens of lucid dreams where I would explore parts of a game that never existed. I've had these with ocarina of time, botw and my latest one was twilight princess about 2 years ago, after revisiting the game one night. I remember just exploring the boundaries of hyrule, past the gerudo region, and into limitless villages and towns through some kind of glitch, while avoiding a giant dark link that was just chasing me all through the dream, like a hidden boss unlocked through the glitch. Very vivid and surreal. I used to have tons of exploration dreams in lost woods from oot, but it's been over a decade since then.. I think I also had one with majora's mask as a kid.
Insane, awesome, and sort of breathtaking after all these years. Great stuff!
That "Overture of The Sages" is pretty close to being the "Oath to Order" from MM
The melody after they overture sounds like they music that you heard at the end of ALttP when You get the triforce
Oh nice a Zelda related video. loving them Tony as always you made quality stuff
Props to Tony for having a hold of this early and posting it for us.
I actually had to stop for a second when I watched the stream because I could not believe this really happened. Its simply incredible.
I really like how the scenes were done.
Thanks for uploading this since the GDQ vod is gonna take a bit to be up, this is fantastic
I'm floored by the pure existence of this as an idea let alone being executed on an unmodded cart
Feels so full circle seeing you cove this. Here's to many more years!
I was so surprised to see your name on the credits at SGDQ! Came here and saw this video but haven't set aside time to watch it. I usually go and volunteer at SGDQ but have a toddler to take care of now. It's so weird when different fandom / parts of life collide! Been a subscriber here for a decade and now your name comes up at SGDQ!
Still love this channel to death, always will be one of my favorites ever since The NBA JAM vids
Seeing this live far truly a magical experience. As someone who only found out about those old mythical rumors of the Triforce through the old Hard4Games Beta digging videos! As someone who wasn't able to form memories yet, when OOT released, all of this felt somehow larger than life itself. "An old secrets and unfinished content let rotting in some deep old Nintendo basement." Only for fans to crack the seal, and come together to make all of this happen. Thank you Hard4Games for educating me years back, of all of this. And everyone in the TASbot and Speedrunning community, for making this happen.
Man this video is great! Solid content once again 🤙
Been a fan of yours since the beginning, this really feels like the years of us ocarina of time die hard fans dreaming of the triforce really payed off in a small way. So glad finally someone made something like this. I have my own story for what I think Ura Zelda should be and alot of this ties in with what I've envisioned. Really really loved the stairs leading to the triforce room and how it said the part about after 23 years players around the world really really hit the nostalgia meter with me. I hope one day I could help someone design a mod with my Ura Zelda story
You guys and retro game mechanics uploaded at the same time. Nice
MAAAAA, COME QUICK, TASBOT IS OFF HIS SHITS AGAIN!!!
Actin' like grandma, the fuckin' thing!
Insane!!!!!!!!!!!! Amazing what some fans can do. Im at a lost for words...
Really interesting stuff. I love seeing what people can do pushing old hardware. The work being done streamlining Mario64 is fascinating too.
Link and Sheik's convo made me laugh
Absolutely incredible.
This is ridiculously impressive
Man.. looking back at this now and it's still amazing how a TASbot pulled it off.
Now it makes me wonder, could any of these be recreated in Ship of Harkinian?
Just watched Swanky's video on this and I still can't believe this is even possible... Just wow.
i'm hard for this. truly love it!
Most amazing thing I've ever seen.
Thanks for sharing , very cool stuff
That music when Link got the Triforce was PERFECT! :0
Hey what's that music name please :p ? I really like it.
I mean, the part where he's being asked "what do you wish for"
@@Link0000095 I don't know... But I think it's from Twilight Princess. Or...another 3D Zelda game. Might be The Wind Waker or Skyward Sword. I feel like it's one of those three. But I'm not too familiar with those games. Only beat them once each.
@@Link0000095 "obtain the triforce" on SilvaGunner channel
@@Amsel_616 thanks man! I knew it was triforce chamber but couldn't find the right one!
Absolutely incredible
Here together!
Here together!
Love it another hard4games video
This was fantastic
That was just NUTS to see! :D
this is astonishing
Finally all this beta questing payed of! :)
As soon as the text said "fans were waiting 23 years for this" I knew it wasn't real.
It was never real, they just played it for the TASBOT narrative. Is just a Romhack integrating everything there was rumored and on the Beta. But that didn't make this less impressive, it was a joy to see.
Well done Sherlock, took you a whole 15 minutes.
@@vixxito Definitely. I was thinking to myself that even the camera panning during the cutscenes were of Nintendo quality.
@@scarpergirl I'm a pro detective!🕵️♀️ I felt like it was Susge. 😋
@@sublime_tv My son helped make those cutscenes, I'll pass on the compliment!
OK, I NEED to play this.
Woooaaah, that's REALLY GOOD.
When you got the Triforce, did it show up on the Quest Status screen with the medallions?
I'm glad you showed Sheik's answer when choosing the "Are you Zelda" option, since that wasn't shown in the SDGQ performance. I'm guessing there's no text for the two other options for the Triforce question, right? Also noticed Z-targetting the Running Man during his fight sequence was avoided. Perhaps that leads to crashes?
They said in the SDGD that Z-targeting was very messy since the running man was so fast, but might just be my imagination
They said it's unmodified but the botw part was modified obviously so I'm having a hard time believing the others weren't modded as well
The cartridge and console were unmodified. TASBot was injecting new code with an arbitrary code execution glitch using the P2, P3, and P4 controller ports to both access cut content still on the cartridge and to add extra assets such as the ending sequence, live as Savestate was running it at SGDQ.
This is so cool!!
adapting this to be included in the randomizer is somehow possible, and that would be amazing
We need a triforce% romhack!
I honestly did not expect the botw ending
Triforce percent rekindle my love for Zelda Ocarina of Time more than I already did.
They did this on a unmodified console and cartridge?! Crazy. I'm glad they put in the Overture of Sages and Temple of Light. I remember reading about that way back in the day on... Was it Geocities? I can't remember which website exactly. I spent ages trying to get it to work before we all learnt that it was a hoax.
This is art
imagine if back in the day the devs knew how to take advantage of the n64 like that botw ending
I wanna get the Ost of this, the end themes are awesome
I need a link to that ending cutscene song! It literally brought a tear to my eyes.
Such a cool mod. Watch the archive and explanation video of how it all works. Would love to have a pre-patched rom for archiving purposes and to have as an ad-on celebration ROM to go along with the actual game to play back to back. Wish they would release an IPS patch like patches in the past for other mods to make it as free from litigation as possible.
The biggest reason we didn't release an IPS patch is because the patch would have had to contain Nintendo copyrighted data like the BotW character models. So, they could still take down the patch. There are some other technical reasons too, like the fact that our code works on console but has stability problems on emulators. So instead, we released all the source code and assets we made for the project (not including any Nintendo copyrighted data), and people can compile a version of it themselves.
It's like that one Pokémon Yellow ACE clip but IT'S THREE DEE
Looks remarkable to watch many features that could never been seen. Amazing to see the unicorn fountain, makes me wonder if that's the same model from the beta or it was model fan made. Looking at the Triforce chamber, looks almost the original, even when the Triforce come out, I was thinking about the music from the link to the past. But why you have to talk over when Link was speaking. I was wondering what would he sounds like in that tone of voice.
We now have a raw, uncut version up on the main project site
This is magic.
How does that work with the text after link got the triforce
wish they made this into a rom hack that can be played completely
THE RUNNING MAN HAS LOST IT ! 🤣🤣🤣
I wish they'd release a tool to build a romhack version that just runs the ending sequence, because I still only barely believe that ran on an n64
You mean like the tool they released?
That magic bar is thicc
I read the description and watched the entire video, but I'm still pretty fuzzy on exactly what this rom hack is supposed to be doing.
Game made from code. Tool force game to load non game code. Non game code applied while you play not a moment sooner.
@@JohnBromin thats literally the worst explanation ive ever heard
Basically the inputs done from the bot inject its own code and causes all this to be possible. Yeah i dont think the previous guy could be less clear. No hate. I just dont know how importing the models worked with the botw part. Models are not code. Unless I missed something about the bot injecting all that too
@@TNephilim Basically the way that worked was TASBot injected the models into memory as well as the necessary code to render them. There were a lot of tricks used to recreate the physics and cel shading, but it was all accomplished with the actual N64 hardware. The voice acting lines were effectively "streamed" (kinda similar to how CDs work actually).
its not a rom hack at all, this is all in the real game fully unmodified
Oh man! This is super cool! Man I wish I could achieve some of the things these guys did but programming is not my strength
X2
Can you please create a video walking through the steps of setting up the ACE that is on the website. I follow and get the downloads but im not sure how to do the rest. Please make a video walking us simpletons through it
Hey check out Robert’s mansion he found a out of bounds cave and Zelda skyward sword that’s never been talked about
I literally called this would happen like three weeks before it happened.
7:32 it makes me wonder if majora's second form was inspired by this running man content that was cut
The segment involving beating the Running Man was an urban legend which we brought to life using Arbitrary Code Execution. The battle was not cut content. The only part of the Running Man segment which was real beta content was the giant magenta rupee.
Oh yeah baby, tell me about Zelda's bones!
god i hate how Nintendo thinks they can just take this kinda stuff down... all they're really doing is making themselves look bad.
Thank you
Wow, he doesn't call himself HARD4GAMES for nothing.
While the series of events doesn’t work in a narrative sense - completely ignoring the relevance of Ganondorf(who never enters the Sacred Realm) - you’re gahd damn right it’s good!!!
Fascinating....
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time: MasterBeta Quest
What happens if you select "Be king of Hyrule" as your wish? I think it's the only choice we haven't seen yet :)
Game crashes...
So which 4 games are hard? Is one of them Megaman 2? Because if so, it's worth noting it's more about pattern recognition and timing than pure attrition.
i can not find the full video
This dude is strikingly handsome. If this youtuber gig doesn't work out, he can always fall back as a model.
Lol thanks! Probably just the lighting and angle though tbh.
Insane!
You should put the TH-cam upload there, since it's more likely to stay instead of a Twitch VOD
The official encode is now up on my channel and linked in the description
I want this to be added to a rom hack. But like actually as a secret ending. It would be cool to play the game properly if you want or do this secret ending.
