EkkeTiming starts on control of Link and ends upon touching the Midna warp.
Pretty good. Movement is unoptimized here and there, but I'm happy with it overall. And please try to ignore the frame skips, idk what causes it (still bad at video editing).

Before I progress any further I will have to time a few route options to find out which is the fastest. Made on Dolphin ZE 7.2.
I actually started on this right after finishing my All dungeons TAS, but never went further than obtaining the lantern. After watching TTM's 100% TAS, as well as new brakeslide tech being found, I got motivation to start working on this again.Earliest Snowpeak without map glitch ideaEkke2024-04-30 | If we can get enough height from a keese super jump, it would be possible to jump right down into the snowpeak loading zone, which is just beyond the and straight down from the wall at then end. This is the highest I've managed to get so far, Y=1590, and to get over the wall you need to reach just over Y=2000.
Edit: The super jump from this position would have to be at least 825 units high, which is 150 units higher than the highest keese super in the game. From this spot, at least, the trick won't work.Twilight Princess Pillar Clip TASEkke2024-04-29 | This was definitely worth the time. It's probably possible to start sinking a little earlier.Lies of P Nameless Puppet No-Hit (NG+4)Ekke2023-12-05 | Using Two Dragons Sword.[TAS] The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess all dungeons in 3:04:32 (RTA timing)Ekke2022-11-27 | This is a tool-assisted speedrun. It was made on an emulator with tools such as save states, frame advance and TAS input. The goal is not to demonstrate skill or compete against real-time speedruns, but to demonstrate how far a game can be pushed to its limits.
The all dungeons category is defined by reaching the post-boss save prompt for each dungeon, as well as defeating the final boss. Timing starts upon file-select and ends when Link stabs Ganondorf in the chest.
As with all TASes, this one is not perfect and can be further improved. Since this took roughly 4 years to make, new strategies were found along the way that would have made the run even faster. One such example is the Faron gate clip (23:47), which I didn't do the first time going through the area as it hadn't yet been discovered. Adding the clip in the first run-through would mean re-TASing many minutes of gameplay, meaning a lot of effort I didn't feel like putting in.

I have started working on an Any% TAS for this game, and the first WIP can be seen here: youtube.com/watch?v=B-pgFMPs3L8TP: grove 2 skip improvementEkke2022-05-12 | Made it work with without first frame moon boots. Original boost found by Jeez: youtu.be/7pjjEIw5ZiY , but needed jump strike for first frame moon boots.Twilight Princess: Easy ice block clip in Snowpeak RuinsEkke2021-05-12 | Found by MrMrMen (I think), but the clip was never really understood.
Doing this should saves around 14-15s (according to Demon) RTA over the current route in an RTA run. Getting out once you have clipped can be done in pretty much every way, sidehop, backhop or by simply just walking through it. You can get into position while already being wolf, so if you fail it once you don't have to transform back into human to try again.TP: Warp cannon without map warp for ADEkke2021-05-02 | Found by Dragonbane and myself.
Requires beating Temple of Time before City. This allows all dungeons to skip map warping all together, combined with this: youtube.com/watch?v=ln4C2z5S_2c You don't need to save warp, as death warp, or voiding out would also work. Ideally you can reverse clip the statue and just talk to Shad, which would be the fastest.TP: Snowpeak map glitch without map warpEkke2021-05-02 | If Midna is on your back, there is one frame before the map comes up where you can either dash or b attack into the cutscene. The cutscene then cancels the warp, which gives you map glitch.TP: ToT big key without spinner or jump strikeEkke2021-05-02 | TAS-only so far as this is frame perfect.Sick CS:GO AFK playEkke2020-11-24 | Context: My friend was AFK since the start of the round so the CTs decided to mess with him. Turns out it was a huge mistake for them lol. Elo around DMG.Twilight Princess: Climb snowpeak without map glitchEkke2020-04-26 | Credits to Dragonbane for the idea with the super jump.TP: C-up vs no C-upEkke2020-04-22 | It's 3 frames faster to c-up before throwing the gale.
NOTE: Only faster if gale is not already in your hand.Twilight Princess: ToT skip raising platformEkke2020-04-19 | Original strat by MrMrMen but needed back slice.Pogostuck Speedrun in 7:10Ekke2019-03-22 | Far from perfect but still happy with this. Next goal is top 10.So close yet so farEkke2019-01-08 | :(Twilight Princess: fast KB1 phase 2 with clawshotEkke2019-01-07 | Notice how Epona slides before the cutscene fades out.TP: Even faster Sacred Grove 2 skip for ADEkke2019-01-07 | edit: obsoleted by this: youtu.be/1_vk1uOQUA8 (much easier)
Now even harder :) Skips activating map glitch and reloading the area with save+quit.[TAS] Poe 1 SkipEkke2018-11-11 | Probably improvable.[TAS] Twilight Princess: Goat Herding in 14.05Ekke2018-11-04 | Only took 4-5 hours.CSGO: Aim_botz 100 kills in 33.477 TSAEkke2018-02-21 | Slowed down to 0.15 speed (standard is 1) then sped up when recorded.(Old) All Dungeons TAS WIPEkke2017-09-05 | Edit: I've started this project from all over. You can see the new WIPs here: youtube.com/playlist?list=PL4U_xVRymLN7--tDtFbOd3McMfWYvM56y
Up to clearing first twilight. No audio because I'm lazy.TP: Forest Temple comparisonEkke2017-08-22 | Left is 12 frames faster.TP: CiTS stratEkke2017-08-18 | Try to open the door from the middle (not precise).[TAS] Twilight Princess: Snowpeak Ruins IL in 06:35.22 (RTA timing)Ekke2017-07-07 | I'm very happy with this. 19 seconds faster than my last TAS. Timing starts at control of Link and ends at touching the Midna warp.TP: Strat for Lakebed BK skipEkke2017-06-08 | Backflip, target roll and aim straight up, target so the gale ends up above the chandelier (not precise). After the LJA, walk right a few steps right before sidehop (not very precise) so you land on the pillar thing. If you sidehop too early you will slide on the pillar and mess up the angle. I timed this to be about 1 second faster than the normal method, and it's more consistent imo
