Not sure if you still read these comments, but I gotta say you have such a great style. Everything on screen and everything you say is informational and to the point. Your editing is tight, and it all flows so well. It's obvious you put a lot of thought into the copy, pacing, and footage. Very professional! Definitely going to check your other videos out.
I do, and thank you! That is a very kind compliment to share :)
1:25:00 why bomb jump? just don't slash the crystal ugh
@@phillytheflyerable Thanks for your question! I explain that at 1:27:30 - The orange pillars have to be up so that the blue pillars will be down later in the dungeon.
@@FruitbatsTV you are correct, I saw that later. I don't have your memory I guess, but I slashed the crystal and still the blue pillars where down. maybe there was another ceystal. nothing important in the big chest then? I didn't find out how to get it
How do you speed RUN
I know this is probably going to sound a bit strange, but I have no interest in trying speedruns myself and I absolutely love this video. I think it's like watching analyses of your favorite sports teams while not wanting to compete in the sport yourself. This video is informative, entertaining, and you're an absolute dream to listen to. I don't know if you're into any speedrunning games besides LTTP, but if you are, I really hope you do more videos like this!
That's not strange at all! It's very kind, and a huge compliment! :D Thank you
I wasn't gonna like this video until you said "pink chocobo" plus you taught me something new about the bouncing red things, I didn't know they turned into faeries. And I've done a full no-glitch speedrun before, back in the 90's when I had to squeeze limited gaming time after loads of homework.
This is a rare find on youtube.. 2:20 hours of QUALITY content!
Kudos my man. You made me play the game again, and by doing so you made my 5 year old interested in Zelda. He now LOVES zelda! Thanks to you! :D
And now to remind you again a random stranger to go replay this beautiful game ;p
Even with all the pauses to explain things, and with all the replays, this entire playthrough is still 3 hours faster than my fastest time. I've got a lot to learn! Thanks for the great video!
I Know this video is ancient by now, but you just helped me learn my very first speedrun. LTTP is one of my all time favs. Your delivery and the way you explain the route we’re too notch!! Cheers! Thank you!!
This video deserves more views then it has ! Thank you Fruitbats for a great tutorial. I like how you explain everything in detail ! Please make more videos like this !
I've come back to your tutorial so many times to re-watch segments and remember how the strats work when I need a refresher. Seriously, amazing tutorial!
Years later this is still informative, thanks
Wow, I've gotta say; this is an absolutely fantastic video! This is easily the most comprehensive and professional speedrun tutorial I've ever found. I'm casually looking for a game to run, and while I probably won't go with ALttP, this was a super entertaining, informative, and engaging video all the way through. Visually crisp, full of information, but also incredibly snappy, positive, and precise. Boy do I wish this was a more common thing, because this video was basically a perfect tutorial. Fan-freaking-tastic job!
Dude, you’re awesome. You are professional and made me laugh at random times, like when we broke Link’s legs by jumping off Death Mountain. I also have barely an interest in speedrunning myself, but I love commentary on how people do what they are doing in speedruns! Thanks so much!
sick tutorial dude great job!
+wqqqqwrt Thank you :)
+wqqqqwrt sick run 12 days ago dude :p lol also great tutorial +fruitbats
I wish more games/runners had a newbie tutorial on how the basic run is done.
I really appreciate this.
I just started trying to run this game, and your tutorial is a blessing. Your humor and skill makes this both entertaining and fascinating to watch! Thank you so much!
Thank you, you're very kind! I'm glad you enjoyed the guide, and I hope your runs are going well! :D
this is so great! thank you! just what I've been wanting and the little notes in the side are a great touch
This is just amazing, really nice work. I'm stoked for that intermediate guide.
This video is amazing! Thanks man for sharing. Makes me want to speedrun this game. I hope more people will start to upload speedrun explanation videos like this, it is really motivating :)
This tutorial was wonderful to watch. Got me through my first run pretty quickly!
Just gotta say that you did a phenomenal job. Loved the screen, and i loved how you guided us through it. I think i particularly liked how you instructed how to do something and showed how it should look like, and the alternative if we can’t do it. Awesome job.
Loving this tutorial I'm studying and practicing it. And beating each dungeon over and over using your strats
Hi Fruitbats,
Just wanted to say thank you for this guide, it's been amazingly helpful in learning NMG. And I owe it all to you!
This helped me so much. I watched it multiple times to get the order of the rooms in the dungeons down. Great tutorial.
Best Legend of Zelda Link to the past speed run tutorial. Great narration and love the multiple examples. Thanks
AMAZING vid. Really helped me starting to speedrun. Just shouted you out in my first Master Sword run attempt as well. LEGEND and great vids thanks buddy
Very cool doing an in-depth guide like this. It's appreciated. My son will no doubt watch this multiple times as he's obsessed with this game.
Great job man. I can’t imagine how much work this took to do. The way you explain everything is great and on point. Great job and thank you
Great video Dude, i'm learning to speedrun this game with this video and it's really helpful. The best beginner speedrun tutorial for a game i see so far !
Fruit Bats, thank you so much for this tutorial. You have made learning this game so much fun! The attention to detail is impressive and your commentary is entertaining and incredibly helpful. Amazing stuff my friend!
I just wanted to say thanks a ton for this guide. I always wanted to get into speedrunning and this will be the first for me to start thanks to this video
A Few years later and I still have to say thanks so much for such an in-depth tut, Fruitbats! Your enthusiasm and love for the game really shows through, dude. It's been a huuuuuge resource for me in learning this run.
Great tutorial, loved the commentary throughout. Very well done.
Great tutorial. I've been watching it every night. I wouldn't be where I am in my early runs if it weren't for this tutorial. Thanks!!
Fantastic video. Thanks! Keep up the great work Fruitbats.
This is such a great video. SO helpful. Thanks for all the tips and plain entertaining video.
Been picking this up for fun lately and you've made it accessibly easy and fun- Thanks man
Very knowledgeable, easy to follow and a pleasure to even watch casually. Please make more content!
This is what all speed run guides/tutorials should be like, holy smokes the detail and help within this video... Insane man... Much appreciated!
I just realized the segments were timestamps. You're awesome.
+Cedric Bergantz My pleasure! :D
I have watched this tutorial countless times. Your voice is so soothing to listen to. Plus, ive learned a bunch of tips and tricks that save time in my runs.
Thank you for this. I've been tring to find a game to speed run that suits me and I think this tutorial is a good intro into this. Thank you.
This Walkthrough-Tutorial is the best i've ever seen bro!You explain everything and you play as a pro!AWESOME work!!!!
I am very new to this, I'm learning the game from a speed runing pov so I can do randos. Thank you for making this video, super educational and easy to follow for beginners!
Awesome tutorial Fruitbats! Much appreciated!
This was so much fun to watch. It makes me want to go buy another SNES so I can play this game again. I can't believe how easy you made it all look.
A lot of speed runs show great insight into the technique needed to be really good but this goes well beyond that. Outstanding.
+bozmr2 That's very kind of you, thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it :D
Just found your Guide and it's great. Can't wait to try all of this by myself.
Your explain everything so good and it is a lot of fun to watch. :)
Thx for that. ^^
Blown away. Super well done. I’m amazed. Thank you
this is one my most favorite games from when I was a child. I stumbled upon this video when browsing YT a few weeks ago and to be honest never was into speedrunning, but I saw this and said to myself: omg, I wanna do this too! So, after a lot of practice with help from this awesome video I finally did my first full run yesterday with a time of 2h 9m 14s - thanks for loading this guide up and letting me relive my childhood a little
Thanks to you, I'm sub-2 hour and working on more! Thanks Fruitbats!!!
Just wanted to say thanks for the video! Been watching speedruns for so many years now... always wanted to try and run a game. ALttP is my all time favorite, so I figured I'd give it a shot. After watching some of the best speedrunners, I just felt overwhelmed. This video not only teaches beginners really well, but you also do a good job making the viewer realize they don't need to be critical of their first runs. I appreciate that.
I played this game a lot when I was younger (years before I knew about speedrunning) and used to like trying to complete self imposed challenges (like not collecting certain items but nothing like as insane as the challenges you see these days!). Watching this video reminds me of some happy times playing this great game.
So clear and well described! Thank you! :)
I appreciate this, I was getting lost in this game alot on my first playthrough and this guide reallly helps me get through the game so I can play links awakening next.
This was a really education video. Thanks for putting it up! I don't think I will ever speedrun because I don't like rushing through things, but I appreciate you helping those who are interested. ^_^
wow, what a great detailed guide with very nice commentary & editing. Thanks for your effort!
My pleasure! Thank you
So watching this run now for the umpteenth time but today is the day I'm gonna attempt a run. Been doing Master Sword and any% mg but its time for a safe semi casual version of this now. Again thanks again for all your input on this run. This tutorial is amazing THANK YOU
Wow. I never knew this video would be so interesting. I am not into speed running the game (even though I have beaten it multiple times). You did a great job.
Hey Fruitbats, ive been looking to getting into speed running. I speed ran SMW for a brief time and got under 15 minutes with the 11 exit route. I was happy with that. But as ALTTP is one of my favourites games I was interested in speed running it but always thought it was to complicated for me. This video is a fantastic beginners guide and I think with your help I can get some runs. Thanks for the upload, once I've finished another casual run of it im looking to start my first real speed run.
Your awesome!
Really great tutorial, both entertaining and instructive, congratulations!
I already learned the Light World part, Dark World seems at least twice as hard but I think this is totally worth the challenge. Cheers from France!
+Cormageuh Thank you! Dark World is definitely harder, but you will have the bottles and fairies to help you out. Good luck!
This is a great walkthrough in general, even if you're not planning on speedruning the game and just want to get through a certain part.
It also has tips and tricks just to make things a little easier. I can't wait to show my daughter this video so she can play along with you
Thank you for making this video. Thank you also for the annotations on the side. Very helpful stuff. Slowly making my way into the speedrunning community. This is absolutely one of a few games that I want to learn how to run.
My pleasure! Good luck :D
It's amazing how much I already know from years of playing casually
Lol same
Thank you so much for all your hard work. It is much appreciated. Beautiful.
high quality tutorial, well-explained, as a rookie rando player I loved this :)
Amazing video! I love how the style works for people who are of lots of skill levels. Very entertaining and encouraging as well. Got 2:30:01 on my first timed run! Can’t wait to get techniques down and start streaming this! Thank you!
This is by far the best beginner guide for any Speedrun game ever. its so comprehensive. one video so you don't have to constantly scroll through playlist to get to a specific sections. Time stamps for people practicing and memorizing, great audio quality (which is a rarity for speedrun tutorials), relaxing voice just a very solid tutorial. i would recommend this video in a heartbeat to anyone learning to run A Link to the Past
5 years on this run still helping me. Thanks for making it.
I love this video so much. Maybe it’s weird but thanks for helping me relax and fall sleep so many times.
This is super helpful. I have been running "Master Sword" on my Switch. I wish I would have watched all of that front section first. This will be so helpful when I move to Any %. Thanks again!
Nice to see some of these tricks clearly explained. I've seen them run it at GDQ before, but they can only tell what they're trying to do, not how to do it exactly. Think I'll start trying this out tonight.
Awesome tutorial. This is gonna help a lot... Thanks!
Fruitbats, thank you so much for this tutorial. It has helped me a ton. My first run and I got 2 hours flat. I know i can do better cause I died like 8 times and I used all the safeties, except mirror shield. Thanks again!!!
this is by far my favorite speedrun tutorial.
this really is such an awesome vid man, thank you for making it. I've been sideline watching speed runners on twitch for so long, yet barely retaining any of the path information... so when I decided to give it a shot, I basically had no idea what I was doing. I learned alot watching this video, and will probably be coming back to it quite often as I go back and learn each palace. and it's not just the paths that are so valuable in this video, but the information- like state saving and practicing each castle and stuff. thanks again.
You're very kind, thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it. It makes me feel good to be able to bring people into a hobby I love. Good luck to you on your first run!
Correct, we skip the big chest in Ice Palace. That chest contains the Blue Mail, which we don't need. This along with the bomb jump are the reasons we also skip the small chest that contains the dungeon's big key, which makes the whole dungeon must easier and faster :D
just finished my first run using your guide. after having to rewind your many times when you got too far ahead of me i finished at 3:28:19, to be improved as i learn the route by heart! great tutorial so happy i finally finished a whole run. cant wait to go again and improve my splits.
I just finished my very first master sword run!! 33:08
I know there’s tons of room for improvement but I just wanted to let you know i would’ve been too intimidated to even start without you. You’re amazing as a teacher and I look forward to coming back to learn the rest of the run!
Subscribed. I always wanted to get into a speedrun, and A Link to the Past is one of my favorite games. Watching other speedruns without explanation is really hard, but your tutorial is amazing. Thank you very much for putting this up! I just completed my first run.
+Steve Daves Thank you! Congratulations on your first run :D
Thank you for the tutorial. Got down to a 1:44 now. Going for sub 1:40. All props go to you brother!
I know this video is over two years old, but wanted to comment to applaud all the effort you put into this. Just watched the GDQ Zelda Randomizer race, and I was looking for information on how I could play through the game, and I found this incredibly helpful. Thanks much for putting this together!
Thank you so much! I'm glad it was helpful and that you enjoyed it. Good luck! :D
I am not using this guide to speedrun, but more as a way to quickly navigate the game through casual play. I agree with the comments left by others: very good and thorough walkthrough, thank you!
Woke up today, and decided i was going to learn this run! Took an addy, smoked 2 bowls, grabbed a beer, and found this video. Thanks dude!
An arcade at my town is doing a Switch/Breath of the Wild Release Party and they wanted me to try to speedrun this. This video is perfect! I'm entertained as much as I am informed. Thanks!
My pleasure! Good luck :D
Working on my first run now! You’re awesome
2 hours 27 mins!!! and that includes.... messing up my lines in 3rd crystal, missing a 300 rupee treasure chest so had to mes about for the flippers and so many other minor mistakes! i think i can sub 2 quite quickly! many thanks for all this :)
+Matt Hall (Getupandboogie) Nicely done! Hope your runs are going well, and I'm happy to hear the guide helped! :D
@@FruitbatsTV i least say the same cuz before me dont know that this comment exist lol
very intersting speedrun so cool and a link to the past is my favorite zelda game
Watching you demonstrate how to speedrun is like watching Bob Ross demonstrate how to paint. And I love it. Thank you!
Holy crap, nice tutorial. Very polished.
I know this video is a few years old now, but I would really like to thank you for making it from the bottom of my heart! I played this game many times throughout my childhood, but it's been years since I've touched it. The popularity of the LTTP randomizer is what brought this game back to me, and what brought me to this video. Your commentary and tips were helpful, professional, and most importantly easy to follow, and I will recommend this video to anybody that wants to get started in speedrunning. I've been doing practice runs alongside watching, and always coming back for advice on tough parts. Thank you again for making this excellent video, and you can consider me a permanent fan. I wish you luck in your future projects!
That's very kind of you to say! Thank you for such a thoughtful and generous comment! I'm very glad you enjoyed it :D
This was super helpful. Lots of small tips that make a big difference for a newbie runner. Stuff you won't see just by watching top-level runs, because they don't need them.
Thank you! I'm glad you found it helpful :D
Thank you for making this. Well done sir
You've done incredible work with this.
Thank you!
You do this VERY WELL. Thanks.
This might be the best tutorial for anything I've seen, seriously. To call it professional-quality would be an understatement.
That's very kind of you to say! Thank you very much :D
Thanks for the tutorial fruitbats! Finished getting through the route from this, and finished my first couple runs last night. Almost got a sub-2 on the first one, but forgot some of the dungeon routing in mire and swamp. 2nd one was a 1:54 though! Better than i thought I'd do lol. Now i just need to get better so i can start dropping those safeties.
+djc6986 That's an awesome start! You're going to fly up the leader boards :D
I'm not a speed runner and I dont intend to be. I watched this video for nostalgia purposes and absolute love your dialog and game play. This game was a big part of my childhood, and you painted it in such a beautiful way. Thank you.
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Link to the Past was a big part of my childhood as well, and the reason I started speedrunning it was to satisfy my nostalgia :)
@Fruitbats you have the vocal tone of a true teacher. It really feels like you are more invested in others being able to learn rather than your own ego. The video is appreciated and so are you.
That is an incredible compliment :D Thank you so much!
Looking to make my first runs in this game and your video is excellent. Thank you
This video is amazing, thank you
Thanks for the walkthrough helped alot
I doubt you’ll read this but thank you this info has been so valuable to me. I’m learning to do my first Zelda speed run from you.
This video is amazing!
