[TAS] GB The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening "playaround" by Bobmario511 in

This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see tasvideos.org/...
TAS originally published on 2012-04-29
The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening is a classic Game Boy Zelda adventure. Link must travel across the dream world of Koholint Island, collecting the 8 Instruments to wake the Wind Fish and go home after a terrible shipwreck.
bobmario511 ( tasvideos.org/... ) (the author), however, realized that "Hey, I'm in a dream. That means I can do anything I want!" With that in mind, he embarks on a journey as the legendary hero THIEF to live out his wildest fantasies. Unfortunately, he would soon find out that this dream would end up being the worst nightmare of his life, traveling through a chaotic world devoid of any logic, meaning, or consistent appearance. Summoning the power of all of the allies he can get, our hero, BowWow, Marin, a ghost, and a flying rooster travel together to make sense of the nonsensical hell of Link's own imagination, collecting what he believes to be the 8 Instruments and Secret Seashells on their way.
To see a run of the "normal" completion of this game, see this movie ( tasvideos.org/... ) by the same author.

I feel that THIEF is a very underrated and unappreciated person in the Zelda timeline

[@enerc2333]

They call me the thief, well if I call myself a thief

[@teckworks]

(9:00) Ahh you know, my favorite Siren Instrument...Simon Belmont inside of a warp pipe, flailing his whip around.

4:06 "If you play this song, you'll make everything around you feel more alive!"

[@dirxetk]

36:27 Bowwow didn't like the way the trade went down

[@Frazzledragon]

I'm not even two minutes in and I'm completely lost as to what is happening. I'm puzzled, but also impressed.

[@WannabeMarysue]

Cool demake of Links Awakening for the Switch! But I think its got a couple of bugs.

[@harrisonmoore3841]

That's the kind of thing someone that sees an envelope and says it looks like an e-mail icon would say.

[@knox1392]

Wow, you're really dumb and uncultured

[@browndiddly2659]

@@knox1392 I'm pretty sure it's obvious sarcasm.

[@starpowerel7172]

really? i didnt even notice that.

[@The15231]

Single best TAS description ive read in my life

[@Xurreal]

I watched the whole thing.
It is a very accurate description.
Also, I think Link mastered quantum tunneling in this dream.

[@SlugKiss]

Breaking even the credits... Truly THIEF has a frightening power.

[@johnsimon8457]

21:50 yes, that’s a pigeon wielding a sword

[@ChubbsRN]

4:06 Legend of Zelda: dial-up modem edition? XD

[@aarona1c]

The TAS broke this so much that it's almost unwatchable! It's very impressive, but oh man, busted TLoZ:LA to pieces!

[@gabrielwoj]

All the Chain Chomps following Link feel like when you have a bunch of followers in The Binding of Isaac.

[@eessndjd]

Who's link? I think you might be talking about THIEF

[@The_Mister_E]

And so THIEF was doomed to a slow painful death in the middle of the ocean

[@RadiantPickle]

9:00 Oh, I remember that instrument now. The Frosty Fire Extinguisher.

Can someone give me a count of how many Power Bracelets he picks up?

So much fun to watch LA being completely *destroyed* like this! :D

9:23 Link plays a MissingNO. block like an instrument while a decapitated crocodile swims around a pool of lava and splashes bananas. The MissingNO. block plays some intriguing music and spews crocodile jaws. What the hell am I watching lol. This is great.

[@acethe0_0981]

This is what Link gets for using Tool Assistance. 4:06 is when the Dream turns into an Out of bounds nightmare. That's not how you dismiss the Dream Link

[@drsounds]

The glitches is like a fever dream

[@Lassie23]

This must’ve taken at least 15 years to make

15:23 This run in a nutshell.

I didnt expect him to blow up like that. LOL

[@teamafus6034]

You are a Ledgend :D

[@zef3k]

I have no idea what's happening right now...

[@Lunaticusius]

I want the same stuff Link uses to get into this kind of lucid dreams :D

[@majik989s]

Legend of Zelda: Inception

[@Waldimart]

"Oh!"

[@Lassie23]

I thought I had a pretty good understanding of this game, but the part that’s confusing me is the jumping on tiles that have collision? Can anyone explain that?

[@Xurreal]

How did you get Contra to play with such good graphics and audio?

[@ezgames6925]

Xurreal the way videos are encoded make it so every frame and audio sample is captured. It is then upscaled to an HD resolution (4k in most cases)

[@Xurreal]

@@ezgames6925 Oh wait a second, this isn't Contra. It's Asteroids. My mistake.

[@abraham3673]

..... i am SO confused ....

[@enerc2333]

It gave me a disgust and a headache and since it broke the game that way, I couldn't take it anymore and for half of the video I had to fast-forward it.

[@asra-5180]

Seizure warning at 18:41.
