  • @iexist1300
    @iexist1300 2 года назад +111

    The idea of trying to deload the barrier by having too many things loaded for it to spawn is pretty clever. I wonder if it could be used for any other games, or for stuff like a button chalanges.

    • @DavidJCobb
      @DavidJCobb 2 года назад +18

      depends heavily on the game
      a lot of games just always assume that memory allocation succeeds -- they assume there's always enough memory -- so if it fails, they'll read and write to null and... probably crash. some games may check for allocation failures, but that's a very difficult error to recover from: typically, as a programmer, you need memory to do... well, much of anything, so if the problem is that you don't _have_ memory, it's often not worth trying anything but dump some debugging info to a log file and then deliberately crash.
      if a game skips loading objects if allocation fails, or if the hardware just makes writes to null fail silently (i.e. no crash), then it all comes down to how the game's memory heap works, and whether you can consistently predict it
      i wouldn't expect it to be possible in more modern games. heaps have gotten more complex, with some designs making wind waker's shenanigans harder or impossible just as a side effect of the ways they're more efficient

    You have to perfectly time a 20 minute interval to the exact frame? That sounds borderline impossible tbh.

    The thing I remember about the strat at 12:00 was a stream where Narcissa was practicing it and someone asked if it was worth doing. She said "It saves time so yes, but I expect to lose 70% of attempts here." For a trick so late in the game, that felt insane to me at the time, and it was one of the first times I realized how intense speedrunning was going to get.
    Also wasn't there some thing where different models of Wiis/Gamecubes had different disc read speeds which affected how this trick worked?

    Wind Waker soundtrack is the only one ever to come remotely close to Ocarina of Time. Even though it’s known for its cheerful bright vibes it’s actually one of the deepest and darkest stories of the whole franchise. The story, lore, music, characters, companion, etc… It’s absolutely amazing and I find it to be one of the most memorable Zelda experiences of all time. I was 6 years old when it first came out.

      Yeah. Felt like a missed opportunity to mention Wind Waker HD and its symbiotic speedrunning relationship with the GameCube original.

    I once found an item duplication glitch by accident in Minecraft Pocket Edition around 10 years ago. I went to use a furnace in my main survival world, but then accidentally put my stack of logs in, I believe in the output slot. I realized this quickly and almost immediately took them out, then my game closed itself.
    When I opened the game again and went back to my survival world, my logs had been duplicated. Then I tried the same thing with a diamond and got the same result (I don't want to risk losing too many of those if it doesn't work). Then I kind of went crazy. Then eventually it got patched.

    I'm amazed it took so long to figure out the Tingle Tuner can be used in Ganon's Castle by simply unplugging it and plunging it back in

    Man zelda speed runs are something truly special. The most dedicated most insane people working for years to exploit the tiniest flaw to gain the smallest amount of time.

    This is insane. I just watched Linkus' history of windwaker HD speedruns last night because I was craving some speedrun content, and this comes out today. Sweet!

    There should be a video on the WiiU HD version and how one person holds the record for all categories. That would be an interesting and awesome video as well.

    I just started playing the HD version of the game recently, so this was a treat to see it pop up in my subscriptions feed! Also another lowest percent video is always great!

    Thank you for addressing Narcissa correctly. It's such a low bar but I see so many RUclipsrs screw it up (sometimes due to ignorance, sometimes due to malice) that it's a breath of fresh air to see somebody get it right for once

    Great video! Learned a lot from it. I could watch these all day. I run mirrors edge and a few others, and haven't played any of these games besides BOTW but seeing why people have discovered in other games always amazes me.
    Small thing but I appreciate how you used the correct name and pronouns for her. You might be surprised at how often people don't, and it makes me feel comfortable in this community as a trans woman to have you setting an example of respecting the identities of trans people. A lot of the speedrunning community doesn't, and it's sad especially considering how much trans people have done for different runs in a variety of games. when popular people don't it genuinely does influence people and create a shittier community that attacks us for no reason. So thank you 💕

    I've always stared at that portal to Hyrule as a moment begging to be glitched into early.

    No way is that the case. They were fully serious with the great plateau. If you didn’t have the Paraglider, you were NOT GETTING TO THE CASTLE. It is completely impossible to skip, save maybe reworking the entire game. We would need something as game-breaking as ist, 4 different times to get to ganon. There is of course that one really strange patch in lake hylia, but leaving that patch is as difficult as getting to the castle without the Paraglider from the great plateau.
