      One of the things that has gotten me to stick around in speedrunning (spectating) is the technical aspect of what these runners are doing and how they have dissected the games. So thanks for helping to explain these crazy techniques!. :D

      Exactly!
      There's two things needed for level 9
      1 - all eight triforce pieces to "skip the old man" in the beginning
      2 - any sword to beat Ganon (plus the bow + silver arrow)

      It's as if at the end of every level, a bus arrives every 21 frames to bring you to the next level. Even if you miss the bus by just one frame, you would still have to wait 20 frames to catch the next bus. Sometimes though, you'll arrive just before a bus does, and you'll hardly have to wait at all. Of course, this doesn't apply to the last level, since timing stops immediately once you touch the axe at the end.

    Looking at the 2 ganon sprite sets, i noticed that one of the sets has at least one hand on his belly and the other has no sprites with hands on belly, so that could be used as an easy way to remember the groups, just "belly or no belly"

But it's useful to call them those things - and I think it's really really fun, too.

It really shows how quickly things can go wrong and how easy it is to lose time. It was also great how Lack seemed to realize, in his head, all the small consequences pretty much immediately and how to adjust for them. Love the videos mr banana man
