4:07 This is not true. Votava's run was beaten in 2006 by Richard Ureta and Rodrigo Lopes. Although both of these times can be seen on the Twin Galaxies leaderboard (www.twingalaxies.com/game/the-legend-of-zelda/nintendo-entertainment-system/ntsc-fastest-completion-1st-quest/page/1?ref=fbshare), neither of these runs have an existing video today, and Lopes' run in particular is sometimes disputed. Regardless, what I said in the video was inaccurate, so I'm sorry to everyone about that.
Eh that was just a mere trifle. The video was so great anyway so it does'nt matter
Keep upp the good work!
Summoning Salt iris
Damn, that's just sad.
No 12 years record holding :(
I like this more than some of the others since no glitches and MAME were used to complete the game in 0.4 seconds like Mario64. Long, legit world records are the best. Go, Zelda.
Without video proof, how do we know if they were actually achieved?
I asked Rodrigo about his Zelda run and he refuses to provide video proof. The only proof he has is a decent run of Level 9.
summoning salt is like "masterblaster812 held the record for 51 years, it seemed nobody could beat him *screen turns black* BUT THEN"
400th like!!!
can't we just get beyond thunderdome?
*me shoveling popcorn into my mouth* who took that man’s record summoning salt???
Matt Turk appears?
Comman occurrence in speed running lol
*Gets world record*
"And everybody was Kung Fu fighting!"
What a legend lmao.
That was his victory theme
"Those runs were as fast as lightniiiing"
@@PotatoeSnow th-cam.com/video/qjjKqJhBkdY/w-d-xo.html Thanks, I'd never seen his original performance. Be safe Mateo!
7:00 maybe the whitest thing I have ever heard. 😉
Just have to say I love your profile icon.
Congrats to LackAttack for breaking 28 minutes today.
Whats the WR now then ?
@@sebastianbjorkman4273 27m57s
@@The8BitHero Thank you!
@@sebastianbjorkman4273 3 days ago, it was lowered by 2 more seconds by NOT lackattack!
Greenmario is better bro
dude i love that 80s synth
Good music and editing goes a long ways to making a video enjoyable, but you're no stranger to that
As a V A P O R L O R D, I too enjoy the 80's synth. Synthwave is some good shit.
I found this channel because of you. Thanks.
You're very welcome Dr. Mel. I was just happy to be able to say i'd did my part to help bring up Salt before he becomes a way bigger youtuber than me
Shesez is actually "she says"
Can you do a world record progression on how fast I click on your new videos? It's pretty much instant but the run could still use a little optimization.
You're good. It took me 3 months.
How quickly can you flop a royal while 24-tabling nlhe hu?
Kevin Martin I almost got a perfect run, yet I got a lot of lag, still, it was my PB
what pickupline handbook did you get this out of?
not as good as me I did it in 0.000000000001 yoctoseconds
Update to this video: the world record is currently at 27 minutes and 58 seconds set again by lackattack
That’s a different category. The main category is now 28:26 by him.
Cantaloupeme _ and now it's 28:17 by LackAttack24?
Jason Wang yeah, and we will probably see some new records coming years. I really hope to see a 27:xx run! Hope LackAttack24 will be the first one to make it!
That's in any %, we're talking about the no up & a any %
You say a year ago it's 27:58
Leaderboard today says 28:17 www.speedrun.com/The_Legend_of_Zelda
Why did you lie?
well done documentary
Isn't it? There's such a genuine soul poured into these videos.
Amazing how this was basically the entirety of one of my summers when I was young and now it can be beaten in less than the time of an episode of Care Bears. Unreal.
David I enjoy that your metric of comparison is Care Bears lol
My preferred metric of comparison is My Little Pony.
Worth mentioning that lack's 28:43 was set a mere 13 days ago. The man is dedicated.
Oh, and that darkwing_duck last PBed a month ago with a 29:01. He hasn't given up either.
kruks lack is the bomb! :)
I watched that run live!!! It was fire... he could drop about 10 more seconds off of his time pretty easily.
CruxCapacitor 27:57 as of today. lackattack24 just keeps raising the bar
MattyMag different category. That's with Up+A
most speedrunners beating a wr: holy crap!! I did it!!!
darkwing duck: (no reaction, sings completely unrelated song)
It seems like that's how most speedrunners are when they're only lowering their own long held record
7:05 has to be the most wholesome reaction to a world record I've ever seen
I hold the record of beating the game in 29 years.
Nice. I still haven't beaten it.
Imagine that.
A world record for beating a game in the slowest amount of time possible while still actively playing it.
Solid...
me playing majora's mask. 💀
😭
i hold the record of N/A
Dude, I can't tell you how much I love and appreciate these videos.
I'm kinda not into speedrunning - especially watching full playthroughs.
But your videos are genius. They talk about how great the game is, then show the tricks and strats as time goes on.
Thanks for making these.
By the way: I was a game journalist for 8 years, and writer/designer of 3 big-budget titles.
I know I am the same way I don't care about watching them but his videos made me rethink and like them
What games
Yea it's pure underground gaming history
I couldn't have said it better myself, ViolentLee. I'm not into speed running, watching speed run videos, or monitoring world records..... but, Summoning Salt's videos make me appreciate the incredible dedication the players have!
Shows you the love for video games we all share. Beautiful
Definitely the best reaction of all time to beating a world record 7:00
The run was as fast as lightening!
@@RichardAspdenOfficial lol
I fucking hate you, you're a perve
Well you clearly have seen VAJ on mario kart then
Of all the bnha characters you had to choose for your pfp...
7:01
its a legendary world record you have a few seconds to think in something cool to say or just let your heart scream from the excitement!
the dude: "everybody loves kung fu fighting"
*Everybody was Kung Fu fighting
8:43 It's so interesting to see that item drop chart. My mom and I (from who I've learned nearly all of this game's secrets) intuitively picked up on this system over the years. We knew that the moblins in the west forest tend to drop a lot of bombs, there were certain enemies in dungeons that dropped blue rupees, or that to farm rupees quickly you go to the graveyard, awaken all of the ghosts, and then kill the original ghost to get all of their drops at once. To see that our findings match up with the chart and that there's an actual system, is so cool!
I've been following Lack since 2014. I clearly remember seeing many of his records live, including the first sub-29. He's an amazing speedrunner and just a really good guy. It's worth pointing out that he's been on a huge hot streak the last few months. He's been going for the WR in every LoZ (NES) category, and currently has 11/13 of them.
8:05
Nice - he accidentally did the Zelda 2 game over laugh.
Lol
When I was a kid, a friend of mine and his mom mapped out the entire game on graphing paper, they had an entire living room wall converted into a giant Zelda map.
Now thats dedication.
^.^
MeMad Max that is one cool mom
My grandma mapped it out, she had it in a notebook though. She loved her some zelda and tetris
Me and my friends tried this! Im a bit of a perfectionist so we never finished or got even close really, but I still sleep next to a bunch of index cards on my wall mapping out the beginning of the game ahaha
I started doing some of it and then way more than the size of it mapping metroid. Still not done with that, 75 30x40 tile pages so far

Nice Nice
I'm absolutely LOVING this series of videos. The World Record Progression is just my type of thing. So great work an keep it up!
On a side note, the screen scrolling glitch, you don't need to press up AND down on the same single frame, I believe it's just up that needs pressing :) I've got a video about various Zelda 1 Glitches where I explain it in full, but it was a long while ago that I made it so can't remember hahaha
MikeyTaylorGaming Hey Mikey
Up+down isn't even possible on a controller anyways lol
EpicSpeedrunning Just break the cross.
It is on the controllers used then, the movement pad looked like +
@@griffin3510 it still isn't possible to do it on the same frame, though it is possible (and thats what the trick is about) to press up for exactly one frame and then down for another frame
I like the part where he names a strat then shows the new time
quality contenet Same
quality contenet It's like those animes that show the name of the new special attacks just before them being used. HxH feelings.
Carlos Merces what’s an anime
Ever heard of American idol / family feud, they are very good animes
A big reason why I love these videos is because it gives credit to *everyone* who got a high score or contributed to the runs. Unlike how usually when I wanna see speedruns I just focus on the world record holders and don't even give anyone else a second thought.
@0:37 That JP release date is the Re-release (cartridge). It's supposed to be February 21, 1986
for the Famicon (NES) system.
7:02 "Everybody was kung foo fighting!"
Hero Tom I laughed way harder at that than I should have
Best pop off of all time lol
doo doo doo doo doo

The editing in these videos is always amazing, and shows what can really be done with TH-cam videos in my opinion. Another great video Salt
RedTailedDolphin bump
my favorite edit was the 2003 wikipedia page
have you heard of Jon Bois' "Pretty Good" series, dear sir? Not gonna lie I like these a lot, but Jon Bois is what brought me here after there were no more of them to watch ten times in a row. It's a similar style, so you might like them too. Jon has his own channel where he does video game related stuff like "Breaking Madden" but he is also on SB Nation.
I love how watching your videos makes me feel like i'm in a journey. Starting at the bottom, and going to the top. It makes your videos very nice to watch
I swear Tom Votava appears on all of these lists as an early record holder without using glitches, he's an absolute speedrunning god
These are my favorite videos on the internet.
another fantastic video! your little rectangle edits to focus on link were great, the music choice was once again phenomenal, and you were clear + concise, never dragging a segment out! your content is just getting better and better!
Sooooo did he get that $100?
LMFAO
*_W H E R E S M Y M O N E Y_*
It's TwinGalaxies, so Billy Mitchell probably submitted a fake one and got the money instead.
@@SmaMan hahaahahaha
@@SmaMan you beat me to it.
This should be a TH-cam Premium series it's so good.
That way fewer people will be able to enjoy it, don't you think
I think he meant it has that kind of quality
@@luigi369 Entertainment value and production value are two different kinds of quality, it wouldn't translate well into premium.
I kind of hate Twin Galaxies since the Donkey Kong video..
Daniel Gonzalez there's a reason people don't really use it anymore, they've gained a reputation as corrupt and nepotistic, for lack of a better word
TheEuphoriac
also with the dawn of the internet twin galaxy's service has become completely irrelevant
Twin Galaxy was nothing but a bunch of HACK FRAUDS!
FUCK MOVIES!
@@ScumSookar oh my god what's wrong with your faaaaaaaaaace?
Tums festival.
To be honest your subscriber count shows nothing for the amount of views you get, and the amount of effort you put into these videos. I've binge watched them all and they are just so damn interesting and entertaining, don't stop making these ever man, they're really good!
"He beat the game in thirty....."
Ad starts. First word in ad "nine"
I recently started watching speed running of retro games, and these progression videos you do are so fascinating!
Loving this series, you earned my sub. Definitely gonna need OoT's any% progression. It's changed so much that old Any% routes are still being run as separate categories.
Oh my God yesssss. We need this. SummoningSalt you would be amazing and have a spot in my heart forever if you did this or any other Zelda games!
Having watched the Zelda Randomizer Races its really cool to now understand the gravitas and weight behind some of the names involved. Both LackAttack and Darkwing Duck have amazing performances in the Randomizer races.
These documentaries you make are brilliant! I only found out what speedrunning was a few days ago, and it's a scene that blows my mind - and your videos are bringing me right up to speed (if you'll pardon the pun). Really compelling work, I tip my hat - great stuff. Best channel I've found on TH-cam for ages.
The original legend of Zelda is one of the greatest gaming experiences of my life... I remember going to Walmart with my family and my dad said we could get one game for the NES and we all had to agree what game to get. So my brother Joe and I were both looking at donkey Kong and super Mario Brothers but my brother Darrell came over with this gold cartridge and said let's get the legend of Zelda! My brother Joe and I looked at the package I said hell yeah!
this game was a true honor privilege and a pleasure to experience back in the day and I cannot give this game high enough praises...
Updated record time: Schicksal - 27m 54s
Man, i really enjoy your videos and just wanted to tell you to continue doing this amazing job
Twin Galaxies - “first person to set a world record wins $100”
Critical Moist - “I will hand you $10,000 if you beat Halo LASO”
Gaming has come a long way
unreal. i remember renting LOZ when it launched in 86 and not having a clue what to do. now people are speedrunning it in 28 minutes. crazy!
@Summoning Salt
You have become one of my favorite youtubers. Keep up the awesome work!
This is easily my new favorite series. Keep it up my dude ❤️
Just discovered you from a reddit comment. Man your content is great. Really amazingly in depth and enjoyable. I can't stop watching these world record progression videos. The effort you put into your content is clear, and it's always a pleasure to find creators like you on youtube. Keep up the amazing work man, I'm definitely gonna be recommending your channel/videos to my friends!
Dude I used to hate speed running games until I found your channel you definitely changed my mind about the whole thing thanks man you do great work
Always makes my day when a new Summoning Salt speed run video comes out
lackattack24 brought the record down again yesterday - to a 28:09
You put so much rivalry and showmanship, and competitive drive into the subjects that you speak about and it is so very suspenseful. You do a really great job on your videos.
How did I just discovered this channel? Really outstanding stuff man. You can tell the amount of care and research that went into each video. I really appreciate the time you spent
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS KEEP UP THE AMAZING WORK :D
I beat the game in 2 weeks.
Faster than me, I made a hand drawn map cause I couldn't remember wtf I was doing, it took about a month. And this was only a few years ago.
I beat the game at age 5 when I couldn't read, then tried again at 16 and was confused

@@BigJar same bro it was hillarious
My favourite channel for this month! Thank you for making these highly entertaining progression videos.
hey summoningsalt. I've never been much into speedrunning due to its repetitivity but your progress videos are crazily interesting. The speedrunning community in itself seems super wholesome. keep on man
Man. Love Duck+Lack. So good. Thanks for uploading this.
"Keep players entertained for dozens of hours"
*Checks Switch profile for BOTW play time*

These videos are so relaxing and informative. Such a great channel to watch when I'm at home at the end of the day and I just want to chill. Thanks, Summoning Salt!
Dude holy shit I love this channel. I don't know where you got the idea to make videos about the history of speedruns on certain games but it's fucking awesome!
Totally should do pokemon red and blue world record progression
Pokemon Master Drayden I want that but just let me tell you it stands at 0:01 in game time believe it or maybe a minute haven't watched it in a year
The Pokemon Gifter He's probably talking about the Any% Glitchless category
Then that would be cool
The Pokemon Gifter it's down to 0:00 now
Yea I remember now
“Put his sword into ganon”
That's him officer! That's the horny!
I love how well you bring out the drama in these.
One of your best videos. It's great when you include and describe the tricks/strategies of what the players discovered to lower the times.
8:25 thanks for the shout out. ;)
Lol
It's insane how well this video is edited. I'll fucking support him on patreon right now and support him. How the fuck doesn't he have more patrons?
His talent is insane!
Mmm... that Perfect Dark music at around 8:15. So good.
Great explanation, this was really intriguing!
Dude I've been binge watching your videos, they are so good! I'm not even that interested in speed running but your style of presenting is so engrossing
I love especially love when a record gets traded back and forth a bunch of times. That seems fun. :D
6:06 "Dep- Darkwing Duck"
The audio is getting self-aware about the video editing screwups.
dude, i love your videos! you build suspense and play everything out so well.
fantastic content man, keep it going.
Damn, started watching this series around 10pm, now it's 3 am! Didn't know speed running was so majestic. Keep up the good work.
05:52
So THATS what he did after his show ended? xD
"Let's break Speed Records!"
Every time I go to Blockbuster this game has already been rented
Russell St.Martin Same at Hollywood Video.
You say that like you're stuck in some paradoxical time vortex where Blockbuster still exists
@@TheWizardMus What do you mean by "still exists"? I was just there last Wednesday. I remember because my dad made me wait until Ronald Regean was done talking on tv. Since they didn't have Legend of Zelda in the store I got Wizards & Warriors and my parents got this movie called Dirty Dancing.
I just found your channel 2 days ago... and I LOVE These videos, great work, great commentary, just really solid content dude, thank you and keep it up!
Soundtrack to your videos are killer! Got me all nostalgic.
Clicked instantly. I wasn't interested in speed running until I watched these videos! Thanks for making such great content, and please keep making more!
I instantly clicked on this video when I got a notification of it.

How have I never discovered your channel before? I've been watching your world record progression videos all night. I'm subscribing.
I like the soothing music @7:27
Me (beats it in 27 hours 45 minutes): “Wooo, a new world rec....ah, wait....”
I love your reverence and respect for the games and the players. I also think its great how there are always new challengers!
Lack attack just broke the 28 barrier!
These videos are amazing - love this series.
Zelda NES was my childhood! My dad and I played all the time. What I never understood was how no other NES game (or SNES/sega16 for that matter) had a decent save system, but Zelda was one of the first games out yet the only game to have it, well Metroid and Tyson type code saves, but nothing like Z
Zelda NES wasn't one of the first game to have a good save system, i was THE first.
For real yeah, i always wished metroid had saves, i feel like that game needed it even more than zelda lol
Can you do Super Mario Sunshine next?
Here is a link of the history of the sms any% wr: www.speedrun.com/sms/guide/8c1vn
