    This is probably one of the best commentary of the entire event, like great runner/couch interaction.

    I never knew Link's Awakening had such a following. This is the Zelda that I grew up with. It's awesome to see it get this kind of attention!

      Yeah i love when runners have fun while running and enjoy what they do instead of having these elitists only saying comments like "so this so and so saved like, three frames" and nobody cares. Runners should bring fun to the event, cuz its already impressive to speedrun the game to non-runners as it is so no need for it to be any good compared to PBs and WRs.
      This run is a good example of why i love to watch GDQs.

    • @atraxos
      @atraxos 6 лет назад +8

      Mostly correct: once the island vanishes and Link awakens, there's a scene in which Marin's face appears in the sky and is replaced by a seagull, heavily implying she got her wish to fly around and sing her song wherever she goes.

    It's interesting that you left level 6 till last. I remember level 6 as the one (apart from levels 1, 2 and 3 obviously) that you can access before you've even completed level 3 (without exploiting any glitches). But I don't think I've ever tried *completing* the levels out of sequence - maybe I should give it a go some time.

      Yes, but with a caveat. The game has no means of processing 1/4 heart of damage. iirc, it rounds such damage up, making the blue tunic less efficient than the red.
