guinness book of world records

[bellum]

You might think this has nothing to do with OoT well think again in this one guinness book of world records I remember I record that really suprised me it was the quickest time to beat OoT and it was 5 hours something but to you think ypu could beat OoT in less than 5 hours was this guy who set the record an amazing OoT gamer or is it just a easy record that anyone could beat ?

I certanly could not beat that time considiring I've had OoT for 6 years and I havent bet it yet but I'm still amazed that someone could set a record like that

[Master Link]

5 hours? That seems impossible. Especially for the fact that all the Kaepora Gaebora talks would take about 45 minutes total, not to mention all the other talking people.

I know I couldn't do it...

[Ver-go-a-go-go]

Do you have a link?

ML is right, that seems pretty impossable.

[Welbanks]

Was he allowed to do cheats / glitches?

[Josh]

That seems verily impossible. can i has a link?

[bellum]

well I found it in one of the books 08 I think I"ll try to find a link I found a video of the guy playing the 5 hours 25minutes http://www.archive.org/details/ZeldaOoT_525

[zeldafreak]

I found a guy that beat Oot in 6 hours and 35 minutes using glitches but no cheats.

He got 100% in it!
Oh, I know now! That guy who got 5 hrs used glitches but did not get 100%

[Midna666]

Did the guy cheat,cause if he did then it should not be in the book of world records.

[Kitsu]

I remember reading about this a while ago, and found-and still find it, quite incredulous.
Life before mentioned, just the amount of time certain scenes take, as well as the dialogues, it seems impossible. I don't think it's possible to complete Ocarina of Time in five hours, just some of the amount of cut-scenes is probably an hour or so. Plus, some of the temples can take half an hour or more.

[El Bagu]

I believe it is possible (although I am not skillful nor dedicated enough) to do it. And if you want to be in the guiness book of world records you need proof. It is the same with Twin Galaxies, you also find Mr Damiani there!

[Petman1325]

It could be possible, yet you'ed have to be the guy who can beat the Great Deku Tree within the five minute restriction on Smash Bros. Brawl game trials. I mean, my record is possibly 30 hours. It is a hard game, a long one at that, yet you must glitch or something to beat the game 100% within five hours.

[Axle the Beast]

I think it could be possible, beating OoT in five hours. If you can beat Super Metroid in two, you can beat OoT in five.

You'd need to have the game memorized, though. And to answer your question, yes, that is a hard record to beat.

I do find it cool that it's in the book. Doesn't entirely surprise me, though.

[bellum]

I dont think he used glitches I only watched ganons castle and I dint know much cause what do the hover boots do do you hover or can you just walk wherevr you want cause I'm finishing karikio well now so I dont really know also if you wanna watch the video it's in my signature but shadow link took him about 15-30 second he just killed him with the megaton hammer really quickly it was awesomeO.o

Did the guy cheat,cause if he did then it should not be in the book of world records.
well I didn't watch the whole video but I think he didn't use glitches you can watch the whole video but I suggest no if you wanna watch some go to the link in my signature

[GBONE]

There is absolutely NO way that OoT could be beaten in five hours. I have beaten it a ridiculous amount of times. It is totally impossible. It would even be hard with cheats.

[bellum]

well you wanna watch the video for proof:huh:huh and I just got to the shadow temple today yay:clap:

[GBONE]

ok then. i don't know what to say he has to have a speed cheat.

[mewtwolord]

ok then. i don't know what to say he has to have a speed cheat.

Brb it's possible theres ppl that can beat it in a day or less so why can't it be possible to beat it in a day huh?

[GBONE]

Brb it's possible theres ppl that can beat it in a day or less so why can't it be possible to beat it in a day huh?

I have beaten it in a day. its just not possible to beat it in five hours legittly

[mewtwolord]

I have beaten it in a day. its just not possible to beat it in five hours legittly

And why isn't it possible to beat the game in 5 hours its possible things can amaze you.

Super Metroid has been beaten in 12 minutes in TAS runs, and has already gone under.hour in regular mode, without assistance or cheating!

Anyways, this record doesn't seem impossible... If I recall correctly, ALttP's top run is one hour and 32 or so

[Matthew_79]

I have beaten it in a day. its just not possible to beat it in five hours legittly

If you find it so hard to believe (and thats why the gunness book of world records is so poplular, its so unbelievable but its true) then watch the vid. Its there for proof.

[Vincent]

Isn't TSA the speedrun guy?

[Skull_Kid]

Isn't TSA the speedrun guy?

There are several TASers, TAS means : Tool Assisted Speedrun, and it is not about cheating, but playing frame to frame till you get absolute perfection, it makes it look like you have inhuman skills or so

[Mehplep]

Swiftblade was probably refering to TSA, The Silent Assasin, a guy who have done some impressive TAS-runs of several games.

The fastest run I've seen of OoT was in two and a half hour, but it used oh so many glitches. I think he actually skipped three medallions, and the first thing he did was to go to the spirit temple just to get some bombchus so he could do bomb hovers... well, it is impressive. Link to the first segment is here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kt4kAA7DdsI) <-- clicky

[Matthew_79]

I dont think TSA run would go in the wourld record books

Oh, so that's what a tool assisted speedrun is! I thought it was like cheating.

Back on topic, it is impressive for someone to beat it in only 5 hours. OoT has also set another record for "Most Pre-orders for a Game" or something like that. That was in the 2001 book, so something else has probably beaten it.

Nope, it is not cheating, and in order to enter the Guiness book a team of certifiers makes you prove it was done without cheating.

TAS is a work of talent, study and patience, period

[bellum]

well yeah thats instresting and you'd have to perfectly memorize the game like the things you can skip cause the guy didn't even get the water tunicO.o

[General Lee]

Thats amazing that somone could beat any Zelda game that fast. that guy must have every part memorized or somthing. If you ask me thats a real record to be proud of lol.

[Bluelink6]

5 hours something...Wow. I could never od that, and I get the dominant impression that that record will stand for years. Maybe one dya someone will break it, but they'll need a damn good amount of practice, dedication, and especially patience.

[ChargewithSword]

I don't know, I've seen better. There was a 2 hour run, that was dedication at it's core, and running backwards.

[Bluelink6]

yes, but that wasn't in the book of records, so even if they did it in two hours, it sdeosn't count, because it wasn't recorded by book of records representations. Tell me, was this person hacking other than the run backwards? say, using a bullet run hack ??

[ChargewithSword]

No cheating, just running backwards and knowing what he was doing. Just because it isn't in the book doesn't mean it doesn't count, it's just not mainstream.

[bellum]

well I heard he used glitches in the 2 hour run he used bomb hovers to get to the spirit temple quickly(which I dont even know if that would be a glitch)but did he get all the medallions if not we all know he didn't finish so it would count as anything and if he uses a hack they cant count it cause they will only count it if the game is legit

[guapo2003]

I'm pretty sure that time has been beaten to by now.
