- My YT channel is officially 10 years old!! True 100% completed in 2:15:30
So 10 years ago I created this channel.
The username was initially going to be called Greena but it was taken so it became Greenalink, this is mainly because the first set of videos I've uploaded to the channel were GBA Glitches of A Link to the Past. To celebrate 10 years, I might as well do a speedrun of the game, but with a few twists.
Traditional 100% runs of the game don't do the following:
Donate 1,400 rupees to maximise both Bombs (from 10 to 50) and Arrows (from 30 to 70)
The GBA version also has 2 new side quests but both require playing through the Four Sword game.
GBA side quest 1:
Q. Bumpkin's riddles. This side quest is unlocked after obtaining 10 Medals of Courage in Four Swords
Complete all 10 riddles to unlock a new sword technique. Because of some of the solutions, this route had to be tweaked from the traditional 100% so Swamp Palace was done before Skull Woods instead of after.
GBA side quest 2:
Palace of the Four Sword: This dungeon (without exploration glitch) is unlocked after defeating Vaati in Four Swords and defeating Ganon in A Link to the Past. The Ganon defeated flag is set after the end of the first half of the original credits.
Other rules:
I used Save and Quit to save warp.
I did not use Out of Bounds tricks nor Exploration tricks. I wanted to show how fast you can complete the game by using minor tricks including bomb boosting.
If out of bounds was allowed then I would have to execute a one frame trick to enter the Mirror Shield entrance to Turtle Rock early.
• Zelda LTTP Mirror Glit...
If exploration glitch was allowed, then the whole route would need a major revision.
Mechanic tweaks:
What made GBA version better:
1) Lamp
This item is now able to destroy bushes and kill enemies. It can also break pots but only if Link has the Golden Sword.
2) Flute warping
There is a bug when you get grabbed by a bird during a Pegasus charge start-up and cancelling it as it allows Link to gain superspeed after exiting a staircase tile.
Unlocking Turtle Rock, entering and leaving unlocks Flute Warp area 9.
3) Auto Magic refill
Obtaining a magic item except for Bombos, Ether and Quake allows a free refill after obtaining the item.
3b) 10 free arrows
After obtaining the bow, you get 10 free arrows by default
4) Faster text during Crystal cutscenes
The text during these segments are really quick, I think this is the main reason why the Japanese GBA version (1h35m) is faster than Japanese SNES (1h41m) for traditional 100%
What made the GBA version harder:
1) Unable to use secondary items as the boss is dying.
This is notable against Lanmolas (Desert Palace boss) as you cannot shoot any more arrows until the dying member is gone for good.
2) Smaller screen resolution
During my dashes, I have a shorter reaction time when there is an upcoming obstacle such as a wall or a tree.
Moldorm is slightly harder to plan your next attack because of shorter reaction time if it outsmarts you.
Lastly, the single firerod shot to hit 2 torches inside Turtle Rock does not work.
3) Golden Sword being able to break pots.
This is more of a bad thing in one particular room, it's still possible to bounce off from a pot if Link's sword is not colliding but when you accidently break it, bomb-boosting is your last resort.
4) New bug fixes
Both Eastern Palace's Stalfos spawn kills and permanent light torch bug against Ganon were fixed.
Possible improvements:
Execution-related:
Dashing related:
GBA is harder to react sometimes.
On my way to Pond of Happiness:
Before entering Thieves' Town, I donate 700 rupees to increase my bomb max from 10 to 50. The error was that I jumped into the water ASAP after flying to zone 8 instead of going west by dashing and then going north to enter the water.
Hammer Jump in Dark Palace:
I never tried this trick and my excuse for that is getting ~270 rupees inside the dark chamber.
Bomb jump to skip Moldorm in Ganon's Castle:
A level design tweak extended the 20 rupee chest's platform by 1 tile, it's possible to bomb jump over to the other side but the boss is very unreliable.
RNG related:
Agahnim:
1st fight wasn't perfect but it wasn't terrible either.
2nd fight was pretty much the same.
Digging game:
I lost at least 1 minute because I had to do 2 extra rounds of digging and I didn't get much profit after 3 attempts which could have been used to skip a 300 rupee cave as an example.
Treasure game:
Took me 3 tries, but at least the first 2 failed attempts had rupees so I was getting a profit.
OMG how did I do that part badly (never happened before):
I've managed to lose all of my hearts (then revived) on my way to the final segment to Skull Woods
Died and got revived against Trinexx, I blame the lasers from earlier.
Language related:
Japanese is faster but I don't have a Japanese cart to play it on yet.
This is a world record run for now.
Special thanks to Tompa who I played co-op with to unlock Four Sword extras in ALTTP during AGDQ 2013 and ESA 2016.
This run wouldn't have existed without you!
Here is my first ever video 10 years ago

Gj on your trick. there have just some little mistake like any speedrunner do but hey ! It's a good beginning afterall and for someone did around of 10 year. The best thing is re do again and again to break record many record and them after, you get the best prize in the end is the world record.
For all the years that I have been playing both versions of The Legend of Zelda:A Link To The Past, I never noticed that Arrghus' eye becomes bloodshot in the Palace of the Four Sword. That is a nice little detail that Nintendo did there.
Dude, keep it up, I have been around since 2008, and I still watch you. My first video of yours was the Magic Mirror glitch to get to the Palace of Four Swords.
Nice to see you still uploading vids, been a subscriber since 09.
1:07:31 Error 404: Rupees not found.
What you did in 13 minutes I spent about a year on haha, amazing speedrun btw!
2:19:41
Is that an original track? Because I've beaten the Palace Of The Four Sword (admittedly by sneaking in via the Magic Mirror Glitch) and I didn't get that track...
The new track only exists in both the European and Japanese versions, not in the 2002 US version.
yes
Y'know, it's interesting how people find different things important at different times. I like to front load my game experience, where you tend to spread out the collecting.
Sad little bottom feeder… still trying to make a nice video like this about you😂
The vampire bat is the coolest in the game
Being willing to run this turkey takes some determination. 👌
This is a turkey? Genuinely curious here as I grew up beating this version of ALttP, though nowadays I'm starting to prefer the SNES version with the Redux fan patch.
@greenalink: quick question: what exactly did you do to get into the palace of the four sword? i saw you using the fire rod, but it's still a little unclear to me.
from the description:
GBA side quest 2:
Palace of the Four Sword: This dungeon (without exploration glitch) is unlocked after defeating Vaati in Four Swords and defeating Ganon in A Link to the Past. The Ganon defeated flag is set after the end of the first half of the original credits.
So eventrough the GBA only uses an 8bit soundchip alongside a 4bit dac ,it’s sounds better then on the snes,yes i hate to say it as a jalous snes fan but i have to admit that the audio on the GBA has more clearity,while the snes has a 16bit soundchip,however all samples are cut down to 4bit wich the snes than trys to fake it back to 16bit,as a result,it can sounding flat,harsh,muffled and noisy, so what do you rather want,true 8bit on a 8bit soundchip or 4bit sound faked to 16bit on a 16bit soundchip??
Can this speed run be copied on the snes version? Are there any tricks/glitches here that can only be accomplished on the gba 4 swords version?
GBA is the only version which can:
*Use a lamp to harm enemies and destroy bushes.
*Can cancel a flute warp by pressing B which leads to superspeed glitch if you started up a dash before getting grabbed (SNES version has to select a warp point when Link enters the map screen)
* Can break sign posts and pots by slashing the sword (sign is lv2 and above, pots is golden sword only).
* Can skip Moldorm inside Ganon's Tower by using a bomb jump instead of hovering over a pit with well timed presses.
* I have made a detailed comparison 5 years ago by watching this:

Nice vid. And about The hole between 2 rocks in The pirâmid ??? How to enter??
great vid
@ 33:00 after getting the big key, why not just jump down, it's right there. No need to warp back to the beginning just to go that way anyway.
Chixixoplix way quicker to use mirror than to fall down the hole and be teleported then have to go back upstairs and continue.
Do you have the save file of the game at the begin with beat four swords?
Nice, thanks Dude!
Does the game assume you acquired the Blue Mail and Red Shield when you get the Red Mail and Mirror Shield? Because you never picked those two up even though you got the Magical Boomerang at the Waterfall Of Wishing instead of the Village Of Outcasts.
When you open up the blue mail chest whilst wearing the red mail, Link still wears the better red mail.
I used the wishing room for the red boomrang because I can get a lot of rupees from that chest instead.
@@Greenalink
I was more thinking that getting Blue Mail would have made the remaining Dark World dungeons a little easier with half damage to Link.
I know that a lot of Rupees awaits in the chest if you get the Magical Boomerang at the Waterfall Of Wishing, I was wondering why you didn't get the Red Shield while you were there to make dealing with fireball enemies easier.
@@TheBanishedWind
Blue mail wastes time when you're good at the game, same with the red shield and they are both obsoleted by Red mail and Mirror Shield.
Your Channel Is Now 12 Years Old
Saved about 4:30 after speed running
After the first ending how do you return to the title screen?

I have played the 4 Swords Dungeon on my laptop an emulator, but I had to use a cheat device code to access it. It was an unencrypted Codebreaker/Gameshark SP code. This is the code- 830031D8 0008
benaravensfan2002 does it work ona android emulator
It should, but I have only done DS emulation on my Android phone. I mostly play games on my laptop because really small screens are harder on people's eyes than smaller screens.
muito bom o video mas não foi 100% pq ficou pra traz a tunica azul que vale como item importatissimo do jogo...ou seja 99%.
It is 100% because both the red shield and blue mail can be skipped since they are replaced by the mirror shield & red mail.
kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk isso é trapaça mas valeu parabéns pelo video!!!
No cheats at all, just being smart.
1:17:45
1:10:33 Again
I have this game :0
Me too
🤔 You don't get maps, you don't get compass.🤔
😁Then, it's not a true 100% 👍
..... You're the first person to mention that. But you didn't said that I didn't open every chest in the game 😂.
I was mainly focusing on everything that can be used both inside and outside of the dungeon.
Uh, *no.* You did NOT beat Moldorm without getting knocked off.
Uh, yes. It IS possible if you don't suck.
😡😡😡😡
