Stare at the guy dressed as link, and focus on the two bits of hair coming from under his cap, right at his forehead. You will start to see them as his eyebrows and it makes him look very worried.
Meme Lord There have actually been speculation on why his face is so unlikeable. It has something to do with our natural instinct to defend ourselves against predators or something. It's really bizarre.
This run was done live at a marathon, it was getting uploaded whether it took twenty tries for every trick, or just one. If you had watched any OoT runner (or most any other serious speedrunner of another game) you would realize that these guys practice the tricks a lot. Often the difference between a 'good' run and a 'bad' run is only a 1-2 minutes and involves very few mistakes. I would estimate most serious runners, of OoT especially, have above 90% execution on most tricks. Please don't pretend that these guys are hiding behind hours of off-camera play. You can watch most of them playing live for hours on end on SRL, go see if you still think that they 'just [don't] upload' all those runs.
Actually, he does mess up a couple of times. First he messed up escaping the forest. All that flipping and slashing before the Navi dive wasn't for no reason. For the Navi dive you need to wait some time and do it at a specific moment. He was trying a faster method that lets you glitch through the doorframe so he wouldn't need to dive. Then, skipping the Navi text in the Deku tree, then with the hit box trick to light the deku stick, then again when he gets hit by the skeletons after he wrong-warps.
That Asian guy on the right at 24:36 sums up everything wrong with the speedrun community. The guy in the back was just asking a question, he didn't understand something and wanted to LEARN. Why is that such a crime that deserves talking down to him and scowling at him?? Everybody's been new to speedrunning and even gaming at one point, so why would you shame them because you know more? The community should be giving extra care to the newbies, let them see why it's such a cool thing to get into! Don't fucking passive-aggressively make them feel like a dumbass just for wanting to understand why the games do what they do.
I love the fact that he talks and explains everything he does. It's one of the reasons that I love his speedruns. In my opinion they make the run way more entertaining.
I really enjoyed the commentary, his insight about the game is amazing. It's also really cool that this run was basically the result of a collaboration of countless different people over a decade or something. It really is amazing what things you can discover from a game when you put enough time into it, like Cosmo said. I have a whole new appreciation for speedrun community now.
This is amazing!!! I have been watching a lot of old AGDQ runs recently and this is BY FAR then nuttiest one I've seen. Keep up the good work and never stop breaking games, y'all!
Stop being rude to him guys. He is just giving good commentary. It would be super boring if there was nothing he could talk about, he is just keeping the conversation going. He is also teaching us how to do all these glitches so we can do this on our own.
I really liked the commentary. I know next to nothing about speedrunning and it was cool to see this guy go so in depth about a side to OoT that I never really knew about despite all the years of playing it.
It's just awesome how calm he seems to be while doing this. When I try to speedrun, well number one I just suck, but secondly, I tell everyone "SHUT UP YOUR MAKIN ME FUCK UP!!!!!". lol
how the fuck does somebody even manage to find that glitch to skip to the castle from the deku tree... nevermind being able to find out how to replicate it .
Awesome Zelda run! I love all the runs and runners that took part in these SpeedRuns over the years. I've always enjoyed speedrunning, but have never been able to master them quite like these guys can! Awesome work. -ZigZiggerz
Excellent commentary. I saw Pydoyks' last WR and it was the first OoT speedrun I'd seen since maybe 2010 so I was completely lost as to what he was doing. Your summary of the methods and history behind them really helped.
It's amazing how well he can keep his train of thought going and tell a story 100% accurately and completely while SIMULTANEOUSLY playing the game with perfect precision. I can barely answer simple questions while playing league.
I'm not at all into this game or Zelda games in general, but I love watching speedruns of this game. It's so interesting to see what ways people come up with to get through the game.
Glitching is not cheating. Cheating would be altering the game in some way. They are just using methods that are part of the game that they released. Finding bugs isn't cheating, they made it that way, so it is technically part of the game.
While I agree it isn't cheating...it IS altering the game. To manipulate the game may not break the "rules" per say but it violates the spirit of the game. I enjoy seeing people figure it out and explain how it works, it's very entertaining but I wouldn't defend it as non-altering.
It's only altering the story by skipping parts of it. Bottom line is that these glitches were a part of the game that they mass produced, shipped, and sold to the world. Although they may have not intended for it to be, these glitches are all part of the game. Altering the game would be if you hacked into it, modded it, or changed the software of the game in any way. He just popped it in a nintendo 64 and played. Nothing altered.
Actually my phrasing should have suggested to you that there is a way the game was meant to be played and to break that is altering in some way. If you don't know what I mean by "spirit of the game" then I wish I used a better phrasing because what I am saying isn't off-putting or weird. To change the games values is altering it. I.E. a bottle becoming a duplicated item or weapon. That's possible without hack yes but still altering. Sorry man, you don't need tool assists or hacks to alter a game. I suppose it's opinion at this point.
wow. i got this game when it first came out and have always loved it. never thought so many glitches would be found. goes to show you how much time people will spend on such an amazing game. great job man.
Let's straiten some things up (BTW this is probably gonna be another of my long rants): 1. If Cosmo hadn't done any explaining, I wouldn't have had ANY idea what was going on, and I'm pretty good at following along and figuring out what's going on myself. If those of you out there don't like his commentary, there IS a mute button. That, or you must know infinitely more about Ocarina of Time speedruns than the rest of us. Stop giving the guy flack. He's only doing his part in the interest of viewers that don't speedrun OoT. 2. Glitches are just a part of speedrunning. If you "purists" don't like it, watch Let's Plays or 100% runs. Glitching is an exploit in an oversight by the programmers that can be small or, in this case, really, really big. No codes are used, as nothing about the game's actual data is manipulated. The runner just tricks the game into doing things it shouldn't. Kinda like the game saying, "Wait, that's not supposed to happen.... Better warp you to some other location so I don't crash and kill your save file." To speedrun is to beat a game as fast as HUMANLY possible without external coding. Anything is fair game, as long as it's possible without manipulating the game's internal programming. If you guys don't like it, go somewhere else. Besides, when a 100% run of Ocarina takes over 2 hours, doesn't a run done in a bit over 18 MINUTES indicate that there's some kind of glitchery going on? Come on. Use common sense. If you guys don't like glitches, then stay away from runs that obviously appear glitched. Don't intentionally throw yourselves into a fire knowing that you'll get burned.
And also after watching a bit it's insane how in depth you guys get with figuring out the glitches. How do you even come across some of that stuff? It's so specific.
It's all mathematics. When you are playing the game you don't realize that everything that is happening on screen is part of a mathematically specific program. Due to the limitations of the N64 memory the programmers had to take many shortcuts when coding the game. These shortcuts end up being exploited when people figure out glitches that are tied in to the values the player is not suppose to have control over. All you need to do is have an understanding of how the game is coded and what causes the glitches. After that it's all a matter of doing the math and figure out what values you can control and how.
This guy is a good story teller. I don't know a god damn thing about speedruns but the way he broke down the history of speedrunning in OoT was captivating.
It's pretty amazing that this was posted only 1.5 years ago and already this run is so different. He just beat it @ 18:10 a few days ago! I don't know much about speed runs but what he was talking about with getting down Ganon's tower faster---seems he figured that part out. :)
Cosmo owns this game, wow! Under 23 minutes that's quicker than any of the temples can even be cleared on a normal run!! I've watched this twice now I wonder if 22:38 min will ever be broken...
I knew sub-20 was possible by skipping straight to the credits but not by any other run, I'll try and find it. If any of you have it post the link here 'cos I'd like to see it.
Damned that's impressive. I stumbled across this and thought dude was going to actually play through the whole game that fast and shatter the two week record I achieved in high school when this first came out, but this is still really cool.
I'll never understand people who think a speedrun means beating the game without glitches or skips. There would be absolutely no fun in watching someone play a game for 6 hours straight, not using any cool exploits or glitches. I would love to meet someone who finds that enjoyable. (Not really)
This was the first speed run I watched and it got me to realize how you can exploit and break games to go fast. Damn near three years later and still one of my main hobbies.
So... that one guy on every speedrun comment section, the one idiot who always insists that "glitching is cheating" - that's a running joke or trolling, right? There's no way there's actually a crowd of idiots out there who think using the game's own logic to beat it faster is "cheating", come on now.
marc smith It's only cheating if a.) it's against the pre-set rules. Like using glitches in a glitch-less run or built in cheat codes that are disallowed in the speedrun. b.) You misrepresent what you are doing. Like using a mod or tool assistance without telling people you are.
I agree with that. All I meant was that sometimes doing glitches does require skill, but I don't think that glitching a game should be in the same caliber as sequence breaking, but a lot of people do not distinguish the difference.
To all of you complaining that glitches are bullshit: Don't hate that he's doing something you will never be able to replicate. Also, he explains the history and evolution of this speed run. Right now he's doing the fastest possible run, but if he wanted to he could still kick your ass in a 100% run.
Unbelievable commentary. :O Explaining all that technical stuff is already quite hard on its own, but doing it while speedrunning the game and hitting frame perfect advanced techniques is simply incredible. Well done man!
Stuff like this pisses me (a guy who has played this game dozens of times and spent easily 100 hours in it) off the wall. Having said that, holy shit is this insanely cool,
jesus dude. what is up with the comments on this video. these guys are getting paid to do something they love and simultaneously raising money for prevention of an awful disease. people argue that they are cheating. this is speedrunning and there are multiple classes for speedrunning (low%, 100%, any%, etc.) because some people can enjoy playing a video game and getting popular for it, other people feel that it is necessary to make fun of cosmo to make them feel better about themselves? wow
Denzien2 If you want to be more precise, Japanese characters will shave off more than 10 minutes in a full, nonglitched playthrough. It only clears a few seconds off of a heavily glitched run like this, but the record is decided by a few seconds at a time these days.
So talented... The empathy is strong even if I dont know her... Lets hope she can get a safe and chill life after everything that happened. Cosmo will always be in our heart! :(
Just felt like going back to History. With Tears of Kingdom on Horizon, and Gamespot doing things you don't know about Breath of the Wild still years after its release, I remembered Cosmo and his speedrunner team doing the exact a generation earlier for Ocarina of Time. How round and round we go!

He kind of looks like a teenage Ted Cruz.
basically he looks like the sage of Light
I'm subbed to you! what are u doing here lol
+SWEGTA lul Ted Cruz is always worried

Every speedrun:
"I'm probably gonna mess this up"
(Does it perfectly)
becuz they trey a couple hundred times where they mess up, they just won't be uploaded
This run was done live at a marathon, it was getting uploaded whether it took twenty tries for every trick, or just one.

David Wenzel 🤣🤣 and it’s also Tool assisted
The good ole days. Speedrunning being as big and normal as it is is amazing for the runners, but damn do I miss these days lmao

I didn't understand what the asian guy said. Could you please explain to me? ( english is not my first language)
Yann Fokinha
he said "because he picked it up" as in, the sword was on the ground and he grabbed it.
Thank you
Speedrunning community can sometimes be toxic but there are still some great friendly people in it.
jcthenerd Can people just watch speed runs in the speed run community? I dont think I have the potential to be like these Kings and Queens of gaming.
I love the fact that he talks and explains everything he does. It's one of the reasons that I love his speedruns. In my opinion they make the run way more entertaining.
I agree. It's so much more interesting when you kind of know what's happening and why.
i actually clapped at this. this was awesome, and it's awesome to hear you explain everything you were doing. great run Cosmo!
nerd.
And that stupid light sage thought Link was too young to be the hero of time!
Lmao true.
Jack Tama why do they play only happens versions of games I'm speed runs?
Man, I've watched this video at least 20 times.
So fascinating and such great commentary.
I love Cosmos commentary even though i can't understand what he means it feels good to know it
I really enjoyed the commentary, his insight about the game is amazing. It's also really cool that this run was basically the result of a collaboration of countless different people over a decade or something.

This blew my mind.
Man, AGDQ certainly had humble beginnings.
I really liked the commentary. I know next to nothing about speedrunning and it was cool to see this guy go so in depth about a side to OoT that I never really knew about despite all the years of playing it.
I love that you're explaining exactly what happens. That's really interesting.
I love watching my favorite childhood games get speed runs.
I have never been into speedruns, but this, this makes me happy.
Thank you!
You are amazing, I'm so impressed by your skills and I just love watching you speedrunning!
It's just awesome how calm he seems to be while doing this.
When I try to speedrun, well number one I just suck, but secondly, I tell everyone "SHUT UP YOUR MAKIN ME FUCK UP!!!!!". lol
Back when speed running charity events were fun and down to earth.
This video is how I learned about AGDQ and the entire SPeedrunning thing at all. And now I can'T wait for ADGQ 15 Thanks soooo much Cosmo !
Amazing...this will forever be the video that introduced me to the wonderful world of speedrunning.
how the fuck does somebody even manage to find that glitch to skip to the castle from the deku tree... nevermind being able to find out how to replicate it .
+Doggety Doggie Link me cause I'm lazy and a lost bastard? :)
+Doggety Doggie lol
***** Hahah still waiting ;)
hahahaa you're welcome
+TUBESTEAKNIG Pointers are magic. All it takes is a good wizard to figure them out.
I could listen to Cosmo talk about how paint drys and it could still be interesting
This is the run that got me into watching speed runs. Such a great community. Such a great story of the history. Such an awesome run.
Awesome Zelda run! I love all the runs and runners that took part in these SpeedRuns over the years. I've always enjoyed speedrunning, but have never been able to master them quite like these guys can! Awesome work.
-ZigZiggerz
My favourite slot in any speedrun event ever. An absolute classic. Thanks Narcissa
How are there no comments about that light-up Triforce in the background?! I NEED THAT THING!!!
Excellent commentary. I saw Pydoyks' last WR and it was the first OoT speedrun I'd seen since maybe 2010 so I was completely lost as to what he was doing. Your summary of the methods and history behind them really helped.
It's amazing how much this run has changed in two years, especially when you listen to his commentary on every skip found and their evolutions
damn I'm impressed a bunch of dudes figured all that out
It's amazing how well he can keep his train of thought going and tell a story 100% accurately and completely while SIMULTANEOUSLY playing the game with perfect precision.
I can barely answer simple questions while playing league.
Keep the good work guys, I've watching your videos for a long time.
It's crazy to see how much has changed between this run and his most recent one. New tricks every day, even after all these years, I love it.
takes him literally all 20 minutes to explain what the fuck just happened. still don't get it honestly.
Cosmo we miss you buddy!!
As far as I know I watched this Video years ago like 2013 or 14 and got it recommended now out of nowhere, but it's still awesome!
The explanation behind this is mindblowing. Keep up the good work Cosmo!
Awesome game, this brings back some memories, mind you only 22minutes worth of memories lol
Why is Bo Burnham dressed in a Link costume?
I'm not at all into this game or Zelda games in general, but I love watching speedruns of this game. It's so interesting to see what ways people come up with to get through the game.
CLASSIC MEMORIEZ
I REMEMBER SEEING AN ARTICLE ABOUT HIM FROM NBC
CRAZY HOW LIFE CHANGES 😞
Cosmo man. Miss u buddy .

Everything that is possbile in a game, is not cheating.
Great job Cosmo! This really saved me from how boring and simple life is most of the time. Your explanation was fascinating.
This is my favorite speed run of your charity. This guy rocks zelda's socks. Cheers!
no way for a human being to do that trick
ayyyy lmao
+Jason Panosso he wasn't talking about void warp if you were thinking that, void warp was discovered later
+Jason Panosso Not surprised to see a memer like you on this video :^)
:~)
This guy is the master
Ben Widdup girl*
this was like seeing an actual miracle, over before you knew what you were seeing. Very cool to see.
watching this almost 2 years later and seeing the amount of progress that has been made in this game is amazing
gratz cosmo on 18:10
This is easily the nerdiest corner of the internet....
It's sweet here
This video is back, yaaay!
TARANNN
Nice one. The fact that it wasn't TAS made it really enjoyable!
Congrats on that.
wow. i got this game when it first came out and have always loved it. never thought so many glitches would be found. goes to show you how much time people will spend on such an amazing game. great job man.
Let's straiten some things up (BTW this is probably gonna be another of my long rants):
1. If Cosmo hadn't done any explaining, I wouldn't have had ANY idea what was going on, and I'm pretty good at following along and figuring out what's going on myself. If those of you out there don't like his commentary, there IS a mute button. That, or you must know infinitely more about Ocarina of Time speedruns than the rest of us. Stop giving the guy flack. He's only doing his part in the interest of viewers that don't speedrun OoT.
2. Glitches are just a part of speedrunning. If you "purists" don't like it, watch Let's Plays or 100% runs. Glitching is an exploit in an oversight by the programmers that can be small or, in this case, really, really big. No codes are used, as nothing about the game's actual data is manipulated.

Very very interesting and thank you for the insight! It's definitely much more in depth and creative than people take this thing for.
You can look into some instructions the ROM executes to get really specific. There are debuggers that allow us to look at some values the game uses.
This guy is a good story teller. I don't know a god damn thing about speedruns but the way he broke down the history of speedrunning in OoT was captivating.
It's pretty amazing that this was posted only 1.5 years ago and already this run is so different. He just beat it @ 18:10 a few days ago! I don't know much about speed runs but what he was talking about with getting down Ganon's tower faster---seems he figured that part out. :)
RIP Cosmo
Numbers...
+Sexual Penguin RIP why? Did he stop speedrunning?
You should look at his other videos to find out, i forgot what his new channel was called.
his penis is gone
Cosmo is now Wanda
I understand quantum physics more than I understand this
wow this guy is awesome. he manages to do all these crazy tricks and he talks intelligently while doing so.
More impressed with the commentary through the run than the run itself.. so focused while explaining all the history of OOT glitching..
...RUclips where the fuck did you take me this time? Oh god now I have to watch every other speedrun on the right column...
Cosmo owns this game, wow! Under 23 minutes that's quicker than any of the temples can even be cleared on a normal run!! I've watched this twice now I wonder if 22:38 min will ever be broken...
Current WR is 19:05 afterall. And 22:38 wasn't even the record when he made this run anyway =P:
Cosmo's sub 20 now.
Tompa A Tompa spreading the speedrunning knowledge even in YT comments
I knew sub-20 was possible by skipping straight to the credits but not by any other run, I'll try and find it. If any of you have it post the link here 'cos I'd like to see it.
harKazoid86 I forgot where I saw it but if you go on Zelda Wiki this has been broken. (Go to Zelda Wiki Speedruns)
Wow. His explanation on the whole process was so mindblowingly technical.
Damned that's impressive. I stumbled across this and thought dude was going to actually play through the whole game that fast and shatter the two week record I achieved in high school when this first came out, but this is still really cool.
I just realized I never beat this game :O
+Earley Cuyler Apparently it only takes 20 mins! Whats your excuse?
+styot the 100% speedrun took over 5 hours lol
+Earley Cuyler lol I completed this game at least 7 times. I had no life back theb
+Daniel McNeary u had plenty of life. do what you enjoy
Mindblown
This was by far the best video game of my childhood!
I'm amazed by the tricks to skip through the game. It's always cool finding secrets.
I'll never understand people who think a speedrun means beating the game without glitches or skips. There would be absolutely no fun in watching someone play a game for 6 hours straight, not using any cool exploits or glitches. I would love to meet someone who finds that enjoyable. (Not really)
You wanna meet a guy that likes only glitches and exploits? Well your talking to the right guy
"No way for a human to do the tower HESS" how far we're come Kappa
This absolutely crazy! Subscribed for sure! :3
This was the first speed run I watched and it got me to realize how you can exploit and break games to go fast. Damn near three years later and still one of my main hobbies.
rest in peace Cosmo.
What?
Run starts at 1:12
+Gruj Thanks bro you just LITERALLY saved my life
That was really awesome. It gave me chills!
Thanks for making this video public again.
dat navi dive though
Well, that makes sense.......
Holy cow this is awesome. o_o I want to try to do it. This is the first speed run that I have ever watched! Sick!
Was für ein geiles Video :D
Echt endgeil!! Wie eine Liebe zu nem Spiel sowas hervorbringt :)

So... that one guy on every speedrun comment section, the one idiot who always insists that "glitching is cheating" - that's a running joke or trolling, right? There's no way there's actually a crowd of idiots out there who think using the game's own logic to beat it faster is "cheating", come on now.
well if you think its cheating but none cares
well, it essentially is. But, that's not saying there isn't skill involved.
marc smith
It's only cheating if
a.) it's against the pre-set rules. Like using glitches in a glitch-less run or built in cheat codes that are disallowed in the speedrun.
b.) You misrepresent what you are doing. Like using a mod or tool assistance without telling people you are.
I agree with that. All I meant was that sometimes doing glitches does require skill, but I don't think that glitching a game should be in the same caliber as sequence breaking, but a lot of people do not distinguish the difference.
I wish i had friends like you
amazing too see the entirly new strats that have been discovered since this video
To all of you complaining that glitches are bullshit: Don't hate that he's doing something you will never be able to replicate. Also, he explains the history and evolution of this speed run. Right now he's doing the fastest possible run, but if he wanted to he could still kick your ass in a 100% run.
Thankfully knitting lady kept quiet this time
and no disrepectful knitting
What's the fasted time for a no-glitch speed run?
Unbelievable commentary. :O
Explaining all that technical stuff is already quite hard on its own, but doing it while speedrunning the game and hitting frame perfect advanced techniques is simply incredible. Well done man!
You gained a new subscriber Cosmo!Your just awesome!!!!
Stuff like this pisses me (a guy who has played this game dozens of times and spent easily 100 hours in it) off the wall.
Having said that, holy shit is this insanely cool,
this guy has played oot for thousands of hours.
100 hours is nothing when it comes to competitive gamers
He needs to see the sun
Austin Whitford Not sure if he knows what the real sun looks like...though he definitely knows the OoT sun/moon cycle by heart.
It took you 100 hours to beat this game? Such noob.
jesus dude. what is up with the comments on this video. these guys are getting paid to do something they love and simultaneously raising money for prevention of an awful disease. people argue that they are cheating. this is speedrunning and there are multiple classes for speedrunning (low%, 100%, any%, etc.) because some people can enjoy playing a video game and getting popular for it, other people feel that it is necessary to make fun of cosmo to make them feel better about themselves?
wow
Just wow... I've been watching some great speed run vids. Nice job on this one guys. Cool stuff.
This run destroyed my life because I watched it and was hooked on speed runs immediately
whatch half life 1 speedrun
May I ask why the game is in japanese? I've a seen quite a few of these speed runs in Japanese.
It has to do with japanese text being smaller than english text so it speeds the run up a bit more.

Ahhh, ok, makes sense, I figured it might be something to do with it being a speedrun, but I couldn't figure it out.
Thanks :)
Denzien2 Don't worry dude, everyone asks that question sometimes.

If you want to be more precise, Japanese characters will shave off more than 10 minutes in a full, nonglitched playthrough. It only clears a few seconds off of a heavily glitched run like this, but the record is decided by a few seconds at a time these days.
Abigail Margaret actually, the text goes the same speed; there are just fewer characters. and link does not run any faster. misinformation.
This video makes me sad
So talented... The empathy is strong even if I dont know her... Lets hope she can get a safe and chill life after everything that happened. Cosmo will always be in our heart! :(
There something just so satisfying about Zelda Glitch Runs ^__^
Just felt like going back to History.
With Tears of Kingdom on Horizon, and Gamespot doing things you don't know about Breath of the Wild still years after its release,
I remembered Cosmo and his speedrunner team doing the exact a generation earlier for Ocarina of Time.
How round and round we go!
