4:07 This is not true. Votava's run was beaten in 2006 by Richard Ureta and Rodrigo Lopes. Although both of these times can be seen on the Twin Galaxies leaderboard (www.twingalaxies.com/game/the-legend-of-zelda/nintendo-entertainment-system/ntsc-fastest-completion-1st-quest/page/1?ref=fbshare), neither of these runs have an existing video today, and Lopes' run in particular is sometimes disputed. Regardless, what I said in the video was inaccurate, so I'm sorry to everyone about that.
I like this more than some of the others since no glitches and MAME were used to complete the game in 0.4 seconds like Mario64. Long, legit world records are the best. Go, Zelda.
Without video proof, how do we know if they were actually achieved? I asked Rodrigo about his Zelda run and he refuses to provide video proof. The only proof he has is a decent run of Level 9.
8:43 It's so interesting to see that item drop chart. My mom and I (from who I've learned nearly all of this game's secrets) intuitively picked up on this system over the years. We knew that the moblins in the west forest tend to drop a lot of bombs, there were certain enemies in dungeons that dropped blue rupees, or that to farm rupees quickly you go to the graveyard, awaken all of the ghosts, and then kill the original ghost to get all of their drops at once. To see that our findings match up with the chart and that there's an actual system, is so cool!
Can you do a world record progression on how fast I click on your new videos? It's pretty much instant but the run could still use a little optimization.
Amazing how this was basically the entirety of one of my summers when I was young and now it can be beaten in less than the time of an episode of Care Bears. Unreal.
I've been following Lack since 2014. I clearly remember seeing many of his records live, including the first sub-29. He's an amazing speedrunner and just a really good guy. It's worth pointing out that he's been on a huge hot streak the last few months. He's been going for the WR in every LoZ (NES) category, and currently has 11/13 of them.
Dude, I can't tell you how much I love and appreciate these videos. I'm kinda not into speedrunning - especially watching full playthroughs. But your videos are genius. They talk about how great the game is, then show the tricks and strats as time goes on. Thanks for making these. By the way: I was a game journalist for 8 years, and writer/designer of 3 big-budget titles.
I couldn't have said it better myself, ViolentLee. I'm not into speed running, watching speed run videos, or monitoring world records..... but, Summoning Salt's videos make me appreciate the incredible dedication the players have!
To be honest your subscriber count shows nothing for the amount of views you get, and the amount of effort you put into these videos. I've binge watched them all and they are just so damn interesting and entertaining, don't stop making these ever man, they're really good!
I beat this game in 45 minutes with 5 hearts with my grandpa's guidance. I actually made him shout and jump up and down. That would have been in 2005. What was the record in 2005? Was I competetive? ah! 34 minutes in 2003. I would have been on the leaderboards probably. I should still feel proud of that playthrough for the rest of my life. I was there. It was also the first and only time ive ever played or beaten it.
Jason Wang yeah, and we will probably see some new records coming years. I really hope to see a 27:xx run! Hope LackAttack24 will be the first one to make it!
7:01 its a legendary world record you have a few seconds to think in something cool to say or just let your heart scream from the excitement! the dude: "everybody loves kung fu fighting"
I'm absolutely LOVING this series of videos. The World Record Progression is just my type of thing. So great work an keep it up! On a side note, the screen scrolling glitch, you don't need to press up AND down on the same single frame, I believe it's just up that needs pressing :) I've got a video about various Zelda 1 Glitches where I explain it in full, but it was a long while ago that I made it so can't remember hahaha
@@griffin3510 it still isn't possible to do it on the same frame, though it is possible (and thats what the trick is about) to press up for exactly one frame and then down for another frame
have you heard of Jon Bois' "Pretty Good" series, dear sir? Not gonna lie I like these a lot, but Jon Bois is what brought me here after there were no more of them to watch ten times in a row. It's a similar style, so you might like them too. Jon has his own channel where he does video game related stuff like "Breaking Madden" but he is also on SB Nation.
This was my favorite game growing up. I really want to spend some time playing it again. I still remember the night my brother and his friend stayed up late with me and the three of us worked till the wee hours finishing it.
A big reason why I love these videos is because it gives credit to *everyone* who got a high score or contributed to the runs. Unlike how usually when I wanna see speedruns I just focus on the world record holders and don't even give anyone else a second thought.
another fantastic video! your little rectangle edits to focus on link were great, the music choice was once again phenomenal, and you were clear + concise, never dragging a segment out! your content is just getting better and better!
Loving this series, you earned my sub. Definitely gonna need OoT's any% progression. It's changed so much that old Any% routes are still being run as separate categories.
Having watched the Zelda Randomizer Races its really cool to now understand the gravitas and weight behind some of the names involved. Both LackAttack and Darkwing Duck have amazing performances in the Randomizer races.
I love how watching your videos makes me feel like i'm in a journey. Starting at the bottom, and going to the top. It makes your videos very nice to watch
Twin Galaxies - “first person to set a world record wins $100” Critical Moist - “I will hand you $10,000 if you beat Halo LASO” Gaming has come a long way
These documentaries you make are brilliant! I only found out what speedrunning was a few days ago, and it's a scene that blows my mind - and your videos are bringing me right up to speed (if you'll pardon the pun). Really compelling work, I tip my hat - great stuff. Best channel I've found on RUclips for ages.
This should be a contest for the world championships for video game professionals. Speed running among the world's best would make an excellent event in esports competition among the best video game players in the world.
When I was a kid, a friend of mine and his mom mapped out the entire game on graphing paper, they had an entire living room wall converted into a giant Zelda map. Now thats dedication. ^.^
Me and my friends tried this! Im a bit of a perfectionist so we never finished or got even close really, but I still sleep next to a bunch of index cards on my wall mapping out the beginning of the game ahaha

@@RageTheDragoon IIRC it was believed to be the way to do it originally and that only emulation or modified controllers were needed do it. But it can be down with single frame press of either and watching Lack do it makes it seem easy.
The original legend of Zelda is one of the greatest gaming experiences of my life... I remember going to Walmart with my family and my dad said we could get one game for the NES and we all had to agree what game to get. So my brother Joe and I were both looking at donkey Kong and super Mario Brothers but my brother Darrell came over with this gold cartridge and said let's get the legend of Zelda! My brother Joe and I looked at the package I said hell yeah! this game was a true honor privilege and a pleasure to experience back in the day and I cannot give this game high enough praises...
Not sure if anyone else mentioned this, but a bit of a correction on screen scrolling (and block clipping, as it's functionally the same thing): Stand 5 px from the edge of the screen, and face said edge. Then you tap a perpendicular direction (so either up or down) for a single frame, and then walk forward. Not both directions.
Rivalry used in a friendly term- they enjoy the competition between one another, in case anyone isn't familiar with the community ^_^ Awesome video Salt!
Just discovered you from a reddit comment. Man your content is great. Really amazingly in depth and enjoyable. I can't stop watching these world record progression videos. The effort you put into your content is clear, and it's always a pleasure to find creators like you on youtube. Keep up the amazing work man, I'm definitely gonna be recommending your channel/videos to my friends!
I'm so excited that I found this, and i'm going to show my parents tomorrow. They started dating in 87 or 88, and my parents worked together to beat this game on my dad's NES. It was many of my parents' dates. Thank you so much for this ^^ Now onto something calmer to put me to sleep 😂
Dude holy shit I love this channel. I don't know where you got the idea to make videos about the history of speedruns on certain games but it's fucking awesome!
You put so much rivalry and showmanship, and competitive drive into the subjects that you speak about and it is so very suspenseful. You do a really great job on your videos.
Zelda NES was my childhood! My dad and I played all the time. What I never understood was how no other NES game (or SNES/sega16 for that matter) had a decent save system, but Zelda was one of the first games out yet the only game to have it, well Metroid and Tyson type code saves, but nothing like Z

this game was a true honor privilege and a pleasure to experience back in the day and I cannot give this game high enough praises...
Not sure if anyone else mentioned this, but a bit of a correction on screen scrolling (and block clipping, as it's functionally the same thing):
Stand 5 px from the edge of the screen, and face said edge. Then you tap a perpendicular direction (so either up or down) for a single frame, and then walk forward. Not both directions.
I instantly clicked on this video when I got a notification of it.
BigBoss Jarbou3 who doesn't instantly click on Summoning Salt

BigBoss Jarbou3 Hello, I found your comment meta and hilarious.
I love especially love when a record gets traded back and forth a bunch of times. That seems fun. :D

One of your best videos. It's great when you include and describe the tricks/strategies of what the players discovered to lower the times.
Damn, started watching this series around 10pm, now it's 3 am! Didn't know speed running was so majestic. Keep up the good work.

Rivalry used in a friendly term- they enjoy the competition between one another, in case anyone isn't familiar with the community ^_^
Awesome video Salt!
MeatyPunk o yea thanks since we’re all retarded we don’t know what rivalries are.
Just discovered you from a reddit comment. Man your content is great. Really amazingly in depth and enjoyable. I can't stop watching these world record progression videos. The effort you put into your content is clear, and it's always a pleasure to find creators like you on youtube. Keep up the amazing work man, I'm definitely gonna be recommending your channel/videos to my friends!
Your videos are super informative and interesting, and the synthwave bgm is the cherry on top. Kudos dude
Lackattack24 with the first 27min in no up a. 27:57.
It was very impressive! The Ganon fight was unusually long too.
Liked just for the timecop 1983
what's the name of the song at 1:21? ik it's a timecop song but it's not specific on the Google docs link that shows all the music for the videos
@@cameron8847 New Horizons from the album Reflections
@@Azeria afraid to ask but how does he get around the copyright for the music? love the vids
I'm so excited that I found this, and i'm going to show my parents tomorrow.
They started dating in 87 or 88, and my parents worked together to beat this game on my dad's NES. It was many of my parents' dates.
Thank you so much for this ^^
Now onto something calmer to put me to sleep 😂
Wow. Your parents were losers!
Dude holy shit I love this channel. I don't know where you got the idea to make videos about the history of speedruns on certain games but it's fucking awesome!
You put so much rivalry and showmanship, and competitive drive into the subjects that you speak about and it is so very suspenseful. You do a really great job on your videos.
Zelda NES was my childhood! My dad and I played all the time. What I never understood was how no other NES game (or SNES/sega16 for that matter) had a decent save system, but Zelda was one of the first games out yet the only game to have it, well Metroid and Tyson type code saves, but nothing like Z
Zelda NES wasn't one of the first game to have a good save system, i was THE first.
For real yeah, i always wished metroid had saves, i feel like that game needed it even more than zelda lol
