I never knew Link's Awakening had such a following. This is the Zelda that I grew up with. It's awesome to see it get this kind of attention!
This is probably one of the best commentary of the entire event, like great runner/couch interaction.
A good fast one is cool,but a great commentary and friends who you can tell are really having fun makes a run better then even the more technical runs
Yeah i love when runners have fun while running and enjoy what they do instead of having these elitists only saying comments like "so this so and so saved like, three frames" and nobody cares. Runners should bring fun to the event, cuz its already impressive to speedrun the game to non-runners as it is so no need for it to be any good compared to PBs and WRs.
This run is a good example of why i love to watch GDQs.
Also this run was five seconds off wr at the time
in my opinion the best run of SGDQ 2016.
aye love runners who can give constant commentary while playing gg bro
Definitely the best, funniest, and most genial run I've ever watched. And mad skills, too. Hats off to the runner & the couch!
great commentary, sympathic runner, really love this run.
that part with marin gave me the feels... as a child i fell in love with her and cried so much, when the windfish woke up :,(
One of my favourite GDQ-runs of all time. Watch it every 6 months!
It's awesome to see how broken one of my favorite games of all time is. :D
This is nothing. Check out 100% no restrictions
No restrictions means duping, and doghouse glitch.
And your fav game of all time is getting remade on the switch
Cypher was re-inserted into the Matrix as a talented video game speed runner.
"You need all 8 Instruments to hatch the egg"
How do I use them?
"You need a 9th instrument"
Then you need *all 9 Instruments* ?
I count myself fortunate enough to have had a gb printer as a kid. That thing really amplified the sense of wonder I got out of this game.
This was such a fantastic run to watch! I'm so glad that my favorite gameboy game got such an awesome treatment by a fantastic runner and group to help commentate.
You can tell that these people really enjoy the game, from the way they joke about it to the in depth explanations (that might sometime just be "we don't know"). Really entertaining run.
Loved this back on the original Gameboy! Although it took me a little longer to compete ;-p
If I am correct beating the game without dying Malon turns into a seagull before the island goes bye bye and she lives her dream of flying around or whatever.
Mostly correct: once the island vanishes and Link awakens, there's a scene in which Marin's face appears in the sky and is replaced by a seagull, heavily implying she got her wish to fly around and sing her song wherever she goes.
Having this game on a car ride as a kid was mind blowing.
Amazing run, amazing commentary, amazing couch!
"Richard picture"
26:11 / 35:16 / 51:13 These heartpieces are new for me! Thank you!!1:14:50 WOAAATT???
Watching this Speedrun-tricks, my hole childhood runs away in seconds..
"Zorlax turns his head away to make it family friendly"
*dives underwater*
This is a really fun speedrun and great commentary. I live the inside jokes and good-natured ribbing.
The blue tunic joke was my favorite 😂
The ending scene still gives me the shivers
I'm shocked when they said that speedrunners did not know until a week before this run that the red tunic speeds up picking up objects with the power braclet.
I've known it for years upon year ever since I first chose the red tunic in the game and noticed that Link picks stuff up faster.
Speaking of things runners didn't know until ages into running... the floor slime monsters in the color dungeon become invincible if you bump them with a shield
Thanks for upload. Never got to see this run live!
I'm convinced that this game is held together with duct tape and wishful thinking
And it’s all it needs to be the best game of all time.
I always loved this game, but I never knew about the games logic checks breaking the item trading sequence. Neat!
9:30 I had a GameBoy printer, thank you very much.
Smh rich people, xDDDD
"Is this some sort of peasant joke that I'm too rich to understand?"
This is the 1999 version of airpods
Same. My first paycheck went towards the Game Boy Camera and Printer
That was amazing, one of my favourites of all time! Great bunch of guys too.
How you guys find these gliches is amazing and speedruning the way you guys do.
I found that heart piece @51 by exploring every single square of water. I also dug up every single square in the game in order to make sure I didn't miss anything. I didn't have many friends as a kid.
When I ran this game back in the day, I found the staircase under the water on the one side, so I thought "what if theres another secret on the other side HOLY CRAP I GOT A HEART PIECE"
Amazing run, explaining everything so well!
well, zorlax has a new fan. i don't think i've seen someone that charismatic in a long time
I always knew absentmindedly running into walls was a sick strat.
"mambo song is the best song"
speaks during all cutscene...
The commentators were really on fire here, it was lots of fun to watch!
Super impressive run. I knew this game had some things that could be exploited, but I didn't realize it was to this extent. Awesome job!
"I'm gonna take it super slow." *mashes A*
So awesome. Love this game (memories playing at grandma's with no games in sight other than my gameboy). So fantastic game, fantastic commentary, and slick fun looking game play. Also that super jump looks so fun I will try it next time I play.
I came here right away when i saw the hd trailer of this game
I just finished this live last night. Took me a total of nine hours, with one session clocking in at about six and a half hours.
Team Blue Tunic, Team Red Tunic...
On my first playthrough, I didn't even know that they existed.
What do they keep calling it, LedDX? So good
4:57
This run not only makes me want to play the game again, but it also makes me want to run it...
“It’s basically an any% run, but there’s these collectibles...”
2019 and were getting a remake on the switch
* we're
Nice random Sonic reference at 56:00 "And that's NO GOOD!"
This is funny as GDQ has made me want to speedrun 2 games now... ALTTP and Link's Awakening... it seems like the runners and their couches sound just like me and my friends when we get together for game parties!
2019 now, I finally watch this run and realize they found out that red tunic picks up rocks faster in a 2016 speedrun. I already new this! I thought everyone else already knew this! Did anyone else know this before hand?
Actually, some other runners knew it, but it was the kind of thing nobody talked about because it seemed obvious for those who knew lol
"Swords on the Beach" sounds like an amazing drink.
amazing how big this has become
Watched this because Link's Awakening Remake was announced for the Nintendo Switch. Looking forward to speedruns for the remake.
I HAVE WAITED SO LONG FOR THIS RUN! THAAAANK YOU! KILL CANCER LIKE WE KILL FRAMES!
Kill frames like he killed my vibe! D;... I thought this all went towards cancer research and all that good jazz. :/
+SleepyMime AGDQ is for the Prevent Cancer Foundation. SGDQ is for Doctors Without Borders. Both are extremely good charities that go to good causes.
Doctors shouldn't be limited to helping people in the country they live in when there are surviving war victims and people in third world countries where people die everyday from disease, injury, infection, and so much more. Give help to those who need it. Let doctors save lives all over the world. This is what Doctors Without Borders is all about.
+doutchebags ooooh! Thank you for explaining!:)
The guy Richard that takes a picture with Link looks like Prince Richard from Kaeru no Tame ni Kane wa Naru or For Frog the Bell Tolls, a gb game that uses the same engine as Link's Awakening. Maybe it's a reference? If it is..that's really cool.
Schala Magus it is, there's actually frogs in his house lol
Schala Magus it is, and the music that plays in his house is the over world theme from that game.
Are photos required for a true 100% completion?
I see that Cypher's deal with Agent Smith worked out for him.
"I don't think really anyone had a GameBoy Printer growing up" ...hey, I've had one and together with the GB Camera it was awesome :D
Me too. I still have it!
It's interesting that you left level 6 till last. I remember level 6 as the one (apart from levels 1, 2 and 3 obviously) that you can access before you've even completed level 3 (without exploiting any glitches). But I don't think I've ever tried *completing* the levels out of sequence - maybe I should give it a go some time.
game begins at 4:32
This game took me... god I can’t remember.. years... years and years
Ha! I never realised that the frog king who teaches you a song (at 1:03:00) is the end boss from Super Mario Bros. 2!!
Did they just reuse assets or something?
@@1337_bean The game has a lot of references, so it was probably on purpose.
@@1337_bean No, but a lot of Mario references exist in Zelda. Probably same universe. Chain Chomp, Yoshi toy, just to give a couple examples in this game
I really love this game for its music!
It made me so happy to see how easily he rekt that Level 2 boss
Why isn't full map completion a part of 100%?
Keep up the uploads! I was to busy this summer to catch it live :(
Great and enjoyable run
I started this game now thats its free on the Switch and its annoying to see the pictures and stuff that I've missed lol.
Also, how do you shoot a bomb arrow?
Didn’t link’s awakening come out in 94?
So we’ve had jumping for 24 years (or 22 as of this recording)
the windfish took a nap
you don't need the magnifying glass. you can just try and error the few possible routes
whats the most confusing thing is zelda...OH its the TIMELINE
Isn't this a Re-Upload? It seems familiar.
Yes, they had some sound issues and because they are awesome they fixed it and reuploaded it. :)
Never beat this game before on 100%, nice run !
Great run & very charismatic, informative commentary. Much prefer the classic version to the remake, the charm here is unmatched.
Hey! I'm early! That's never happened before!
Jokes and stuff aside, this run was great.
Crowd was great, runner was great, person reading the donations was great...honestly, the only thing that WASN'T great was the thing known as "Twitch Chat."
But even then, chat was tame during this run, I think.
these guys are great
And now there's gonna be a remake
For the upgrade bat, he said he had to make sure he picked "no" but the first option definitely says "no" in japanese...
Having just finished the Switch Remake I hope we get to see this maybe at SGDQ next year!
I got four hours into Breath of the Wild and all I could think was "man, I wanna play Link's Awakening again"
Maybe it’s easier on the OG game boy or something, but my brother that used to play this game casually could get the villa skip trick with almost 100% consistency. Shame he didn’t care about speed running, he just really loved the game and played a lot.
this is the greatest zelda game on gameboy...then comes minish cap ,link to the past and then oracle
I bought this game when I was a kid, I bought it on a day trip to Germany...The game was in German... I didn't speak that when I was a kid, so I could never get past that dang walrus. back in the early nineties it was very few people who had access to the internet so I couldn't just go find a guide online. :P
I've played this through about 5 times and i don't think i found more than one of the photos 😂
11:05 Technically you could jump 5 years before LADX in the original GameBoy release, if you really want to be pedantic.
Technically Link could jump in Zelda 2 but that seems to be the black sheep of the official Zelda games and people forget it....
Does anyone remember killing dungeon four's boss quickly (because it's easy) and thinking you killed a second miniboss?
lol the fish sucks so hard
What a run. Just amazing.
How did you know the sequence of rooms to take in the egg when you skipped reading that library book?
Isn't there a photo you can take at the beach when you are there with the dog and the girl at the same time?
In the original one? Is there a speed run for it? Or only the dx version?
I got my GB printer new from the store but I barely used it. I still have some paper.
Pause on 51:14 LINK ACTUALLY IS WEARING BLUE TUNIC!
38:47 scared the hell outta me, my volume was high
Earthbound reference at 39:44 ? :D
Even though I finished this game many times and I know it pretty well, I´m still like bruh by watching this speedrun...
Best commentary I've seen in a GDQ
