The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX TAS in

This tool-assisted speedrun by Swordless Link (me) aims to beat The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX in as little a time as possible while still collecting all 8 instruments from the dungeons.
It was made on an emulator, using frame-by-frame shooting, savestates, and rerecords to overcome things like reaction time and human error. As such, it is purely a form of entertainment, and is not designed to show skill.
This is the second upload I've done of my run. This one is in HD, because BrandonE from TASVideos was nice enough to encode it for me. Be sure to check out and subscribe to his channel: / brandman211
What separates this run from the glitched run is that no screenwarping or doghouse glitches are done in this run. It was the best way to define a category which would justify this run's existence.
This TAS is the result of 7 months of hard work on the game. My intial goal was to improve the previous run by at most, 2 minutes. I ended up beating it by 9 minutes and 47.25 seconds. I'm very proud of this run, and am more than satisfied with my final time.
There's no way this run would've been possible without help from others, most notably, Tompa, who devoted a lot of time to me and my run to help get it as good as it could be.
This run was made by me. It should not be uploaded without first getting permission from me.
Any anti-TAS comments will be deleted. Seriously, if you're just going to call it "cheating" or something equally ridiculous, don't even bother commenting at all, because I'll just block you. Save us both a bit of time.
The actual publication of the movie can be found here: tasvideos.org/1462M.html
Check out TASVideos.org/ to find out more about tool-assisted speedruns, and to watch the many already-existing awesome TASes.
Note: This is the same run I already have uploaded. The only difference is the encode is much better. Look at the ending credits to see what I'm talking about.

I always thought the Moblins looked like Blastoise when I was a kid.
Pokemon beginings :)
It is blastoise, Nintendo has put blastoise in ever game since 1987
I just wanted to say thank you for all your hard work and that this was beautiful. It gave me flashbacks. Hours of blood, sweat, tears and pure joy. This game means more than I can explain, it's something I felt. Your video does it justice. It was satisfying on so many levels. Great job. 💯
awesome work swordless link. I'm so in love with that game since i was a kid. Watching your video just brougt back so much memories... Thank you!

I watched this over a year ago and I'm back to watch it again. Great job! Love the TAS stuff.
This is UTTERLY incredible, but I can't help thinking through the entire run, the little thing that kept bugging me, "I swear, he can save those 2.69 seconds to make this run less than an hour. I just know it."
The runner said that used save states in this TAS speedrun, so he could get some seconds trying to kill the final boss with the boomerang (sometimes it is possible to kill the final boss with 1 shot of the boomerang)
@@fernandojose2599 it would take a lot of time to get the boomerang
I cant help but admire the amount of dedication these videos take. All your videos are just awesome!
Some of the stuff later in the video was awesome.
You, sir, are a god amongst men.
45:00 “The Wind Fish is getting restless”
Uh, how could the Wind Fish be restless if it is asleep???
Lol
Been looking forward to this for a long time :)
I have honestly no idea what the fuck happens half the time in your TAS runs but they are so awesome to watch!
I decided to watch this after it was mentioned on TSSB, and I'm glad I did. Very entertaining TAS.
OMG your gaming Style is so awesome. Very nice moves!!!
dope tas bra
i love how the ninja microing intensifies as you get more means of moving from one place to another XD
This Tas was enjoyable all the way. I really liked it and even laughed at some part because what was happening was so out of human skills.
exactly hahahaha
Yes! Thanks for including this one!
Awesome! You play the game like a boss lol. This is my first Zelda game and I should say it's one of the best on its time.
stunning work mate :)
I dont care if this is on an emulator, its still fucking awesome, and I love this game. keep up the good work
I like how this can be watched in 1080p, So you can be absolutely positive you see each pixel in astounding detail.
There is no teleporting. Many of the glitches used in this TAS are done by holding up+down/left+right at the same time in various combinations. And this often causes glitchy sprites.
Link's left side got glitched off, guess he's alright now.
... This is a pun.
At 23:30 he's just gone.
This pun is even better if you know that "Links" is the german word for "left".
***** Haha, I wish I had intended to do so. xP
***** Now the sad part is that I'm learning German. I should have realized/remembered that. >.
the sound of this game always used to be stuck in my head when i was like 13-14 years old, was weird i even had dreams of the sound
this is perfection
It's my favourite Zelda game, so thank you !
The bomb jump at 17:13 made me laugh with joy!
Link's awakening in just an hour... you are my hero !
Awesome And Congratulations Swordless Link
Thanks for giving me something to do for the next hour
@pichu55 He's TASing the rooms before Ganondorf as we speak. The run will probably take a few days before it is uploaded however, due to the time it takes to encode it. But I guarantee that it is worth the wait =).
Every three minutes I think, "What in the hell?" This run is mind boggling.
No matter how many times I see that ending, ever since I was a kid. It hurts every single time.
Epic sequence breaking after getting into Angler's Tunnel.
@TheKDX7 We finished the run two days ago. It will be up on Swordless' channel either tonight or tomorrow. Stay tuned ;).
@MaskedKirby My original HD encode didn't use TASBlend, which resulted in a messed up credits. This one uses it.
Nice work dude. You can always tell when you've put a lot of work in these runs. Congratz on almost 1 hour. Keep it up! One thing though. Now this is done are we going to b seeing moar zelda non TAS or what?
Two Link's Awakening in one day? You're too kind
The method used in the TAS was done by holding up+down+shield at the same time to boost you across.
There are two methods to do this without up+down. Either stand as close to the upper hole as possible (Pixel perfection) and just walk straight down. This only works 1/8 of the times though.
Another method is to walk down from the right tree by clipping into wall a little. Once you reach the end of the tree you press downright slightly. Both these methods are very hard to pull off, so good luck =)
I can't wait to see the switch version run
If you hold up+down at the same time you use the shield, you'll boost off enemies that are in a vertical line above or below you. This way you can boost yourself over the hole.
This is one of many glitches involved holding the directional buttons in different combinations.
If you follow the second to last link in the description, go to "Submission #2565" and you can find explanations about it.
I was helping Swordless during the whole project of this run, as well as doing larger parts myself. I have also had in mind of doing a 100% run of the DX version eventually, something I have also made a rough route for.
Though because of other projects and lack of motivation for this one, I have yet not done a run. We'll see in the future however =).
Huh... For some reason I thought you'd beat the game swordless :P
now i wonder if swordless is possible
how can we jump through the holes???
Witch buttons?
I got a special thanks in his comments (I'm Tompa) at least :). But yeah, I planned the whole route pretty much. Swordless did most of the run afterall, he just had some help throughout the whole thing.
Making a TAS is indeed very time consuming. I highly enjoy it however, it's a nice little hobby.
link has broken the matrix
Lol You know you're watching a speedrun when the dying animation is longer than the actual boss battle. XD
You can only do that when you walk downwards.
The reason why it worked at 2:18 was because the shield (By holding up+down at the same time) gave you a boost off of the enemy.
I was just pulling my old headboard out of storage and it had a whole bunch of pictures from my gameboy camera stuck to it and some of them were from this game. It was so hard to throw it away :(
Thanks for the explanation!
Stunning quality and great run. :-)
@stootab This is not a new run; it's a new encode of it which uses TASBlend so that the credits aren't messed up.
walking on water? I SWIM ON THE LAND!
Holy crap- and I thought I was good at this game. Lol.
Well done.
this was my only venture into the Zelda series. this was challenging on the GameBoy and fun. never played any other Zelda games. kinda like to get back into it again.
Just try A Link to the past. Buy a SNES, an emulator or buy it form the WiiU e-shop. But play A Link to the past
Best memories ever
Well done sir.
Yes, they are. However, a lot of these glitches involve pressing left+right+up+down in different combinations. While this isn't normally possible, with a bad D-pad you are able to do it. You can also use the keyboard on an emulator to easily press the buttons wanted.
Again, not all glitches require this type of input. If you want me to explain a specific glitch, or multiple, I'll gladly do so =).
This comes from someone who has played both games, but four swords would like to be like this game when it growns up. And four swords was awesome.
@Tomtelala I think there could be a possibility to go through the flowers in the swamp, but for the Castle like for the Walrus, it looks impossible :/
And yeah, skipping the flying chicken part was really impressive, it's a great job u two did!
And i'm pretty sure there still some minor glitches to find :)
WOW that's amazing work SL. I have never seen such a classic being brutalised as much as you just did here.
What's next on your list?
@hadri1a1 Skipping him is one of the biggest sequence breaks I have been trying to find the last years. There have been countless of attempts made but I haven't got a solution yet :(. Ideas a welcome!
26:39 Hipster Link : making dreams within a dream before it was cool. XD
Amazing.
At 2:18 he used a glitch to hold up+down the same time as you use the shield. This way Link will use his shield to push all enemies in a vertical angle.
You can also cross the hole with a damage boost from the moblin's arrow.
Bringing up the S&Q menu when you open chests, for example, will skip the text message.
@hadri1a1 The other two sequence breaks I have been trying is to get into Bottle Grotto without Bow-Wow and reaching Kanalet Castle without trading the bananas. I don't think any of those three will ever be found...
I'm still happy that I found so much stuff for this run. Frog song skip being the one I'm most satisfied with. Though I would love to find more glitches in the game!
3:10 thoses moves :D epic!
Thanks !
Marin doesn't appear at the beach if you never trade the pineapple.
Skipping the Walrus is one of the things I have tried the most to skip for this TAS, but I was not able to do it.
They are used to skip text boxes, such as when you open a chest.
@7584695 You appear in the room where you exit the maze if you would have been going down after falling down the holes.
might I ask HOW the sword was teleported to you in the beginning?
I believe that he used the knockback from an enemy injury to sort of teleport him forward and collect it.
I'm a TAS fan. I know all about that one. What I'm wanting is a TAS that shows off the features of the DX version. A 110% run, if you will. In my opinion, the DX game isn't finished without running the Color Dungeon and getting all the photos.
And I know that SwordlessLink likes this game and is very knowledgeable about how to TAS it. So I'm hoping he'll attempt it someday.
I´ve just been watching Link spasming through the entirety of Koholint Island in under one hour, him passing over riddles with utmost apathy and ridiculing attitude , moonwalking by random strangers and creatures while simultaneously punching them in the face with his shield and being a smug asshole in general.
And boy, was it worth it.
12:06 hurt link so bad that the boos tore him in half
OMFG!, so cool! ;)
this may not showcase "skill," but it sure as hell shows an incredible amount of effort on your part.
Amazing
The island and girl was all a dream, but the girl however where she told him that she wanted to be a seagull, she well became one.
very nice
at 57:00 whats up the top of the room what happens when you go up there
What a SWAGGER!
... I read the title and legit thought the category was "swordless Link." As in you beat the game without ever getting/using the sword lmao
i'll try. if it's really as weird as you say, i'll enjoy it.
thanks.
My childhood memories almost looks like "A link to the past"
LOVE
thats one gawdy wind fish
32:30 best WTF momment ever !
lol the owl "Hoot, young lad....I mean THEIF!" XD
pressing both up and down while blocking makes you able to block anything that's directly on a vertical line below you.
32:34 Best Part by far.
And a new run is being planned by me which we are going to work with together.
playing online on an emulator which doesnt let you save ingame (instead it has save state and the site remembers your game). So the trick to get the bow at 16:40 doesnt work for me:(
Jumping has no effect for stairs in this game. In Oracle of Ages/Seaons it is faster to jump there though.
There are a lot of other minor things, as well a big timesaver for the second boss, to make this run faster. A new run will be worked on pretty soon by me and Swordless.
I love your TAS videos and could never make one as good, is there a reason why you don't/can't do the normal "pit walk" in level 1 at 05:27
What in the cartridge-tilting name of Hylia?
This was my first or second game ever.
i love ur vids
27:50 is the most intense part.
great run! does this mean that you'll be resuming work on the all temples run of OoT?
wow ive played this game since Links Awakening and about 50times, but i never knew about 48:36 !
