Consistent strat for ruto timer Zudu 2019-01-26 | the timing for pressing forward b is sort of precise, but it's still really easy to get.
10 Month Japanese MIA Progress Zudu 2020-12-31 | No formal courses, textbooks, teachers, nor any experiences talking to anybody in Japanese. (Calculated) immersion through the internet is all you need. This is a timestamp to record my progress after nearing 10 months since using the Mass Immersion ApproachMore detailed routine from absolute beginner onwards, for those who might want to emulate portions: reddit.com/r/LearnJapanese/comments/knghxi/10_months_progress_since_using_immersionFar from exhaustive list of things that I found especially helpful while learning (some of which I continue to use): (EDIT: the stuff below may still be relevant, but my advice at this point is go watch aussieman's "masterclass" before all else youtube.com/playlist?list=PLTGwxYYu8He-OYfgudK0odx1_LsgGAPGy Additionally, read this post if you're all about wanting "optimal" in language methods reddit.com/r/LearnJapanese/comments/sedr0m/how_i_got_180180_on_n1_in_85_months)Language acquisition method MIA (rebranded as Refold): https://refold.la/roadmap/I wouldn't say following it to a T is necessary as I hardly followed what it says; just used its general ideas and continued how I saw fit. But those ideas are invaluableMatt vs. Japan: youtube.com/c/MATTvsJapan/featuredInformative videos, also good for all things Anki. Anki with proper MIA addons is 100x betterCure Dolly: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLg9uYxuZf8x_A-vcqqyOFZu06WlhnypWjJapanese foundation any learner should have. I believe this playlist can serve as a substitute to any textbook. Once you absorb the playlist, dive directly into native resources like anime or books. Don't fear the ambiguity and lack of understanding that will be present at first.あかねさん: youtube.com/channel/UCh-GhnQ7qDQmS6Bz3pGc1MwWhile you should study with advanced material even if it's above your level, I believe supplementing the powerful momentum associated with studying "well-beyond your level" with closer to your level material is very useful. Particularly with the live recordings, this channel essentially feels like a tree that has endless low-hanging fruit to collect. At an intermediate level comprehension feels very high, so rather than having much energy exerted toward trying to understand what is being said, you understand most all of it and that energy is exerted into absorbing Japanese sentence structure and cementing it in your mind. For beginners the channel is also great, as I imagine it sits at a goldilocks zone of difficulty that I haven't encountered with any other resource thus far. Wish I found this channel when first starting. I mostly use this channel's live recordings for shadowing (speaking out loud alongside the video), and I believe this was a paramount component in getting me to be able to formulate thoughts (along with getting my tongue muscles accustomed to Japanese)Yomichan: foosoft.net/projects/yomichanNot a question; a must download. Shift+hover over a word and dictionary definition pops up. Matt vs. Japan has (a) video(s) on thisAnimelon: animelon.comPrimary site I use when studying anime. Even if you're not learning Japanese but like anime, this site is amazingAnki Anime Decks: mediafire.com/folder/h3c999hbd9r6m/subs2srs_decksKanji:I used Wanikani for Kanji, but I don't necessarily recommend it. It's slow, doesn't allow you to go at your own pace, and although it provides lots of vocabulary, learning them in its isolated fashion doesn't make them stick. It was nonetheless an indispensable help for me, but there are almost certainly better options. Focusing on remembering the meanings of Kanji (rather than individual readings) and learning Kanji readings (as well as meanings) through what you encounter in immersion through sentence mining is probably the way to go. britvsjapan.com/learn-kanji-fast-ultimate-guide-to-remembering-the-kanjiI may not agree with everything in here but it seems to have the right idea most everywhere; serve as a good Kanji guideMost importantly, Bold and Brash: imgur.com/a/D80ECVw0:00 Japanese background4:08 Kanji6:50 ドジ7:40 Recognition vs. Recall9:37 Wake up call to reality/starting MIA11:34 YT channel that served as Japanese foundation13:34 Anki/awful example of sentence mining15:41 Passive listening16:38 Adjusting according to your own circumstances19:43 Wrap up
Ocarina of Time Any% Speedrun in 7:48 Zudu 2020-02-27 | This run uses arbitrary code execution to write code into the game and execute said code to perform a credits warp, straight from the Twin's house in Kokiri ForestAwesome overview of what's happening with ACE by GlitchesAndStuff - youtube.com/watch?v=wdRJWDKb5BoA more technical look at ACE and SRM by Fig02 - youtube.com/watch?v=SPi_d0zhNFcGreat tutorial for this route (as well as some insight into what is happening in the run) by dannyb - youtube.com/watch?v=5A51_byMBXsBig shoutouts to the glitch hunters of the OoT community for the hours of work put into making this insanity a reality - GlitchesAndStuff, Jolin012, MrCheeze, Fig02, Blini, Thar0, NatalyaHasDied, Dannyb21892, and many others.This run had good rupee RNG that allowed me to skip traversing over an area we otherwise would need to collect more rupees. The RNG and movement was sub-par and only saved ~1s over normal RNG, as opposed to a possible ~4s. I also thought I failed Return A when I had actually gotten it, thus making my movement wonky.
Ocarina of Time Any% Speedrun in 8:04 Zudu 2020-02-25 | I will write a more comprehensive description in a better PB but I don't expect this one to last long. Here is a fantastic tutorial on this route in the meantime youtube.com/watch?v=5A51_byMBXs
Ocarina of Time Any% Speedrun in 12:23 Zudu 2020-01-22 | first attempt. I'd upload a comprehensive description but I'll save that for a good run. In the meantime, here's a fantastic video on ACE and what is going on in this run: youtube.com/watch?time_continue=7&v=wdRJWDKb5Bo&feature=emb_title

Ocarina of Time KFC% in 7:21 (WR) Zudu 2019-08-17 | Goal is to make it appear as though the chicken is cooking on fire by lighting a deku stick with isg, and pulling out the chicken

OoT All Dungeons Speedrun in 1:16:56 Zudu 2019-07-20 | lost 1:07 to twinrova, ~30 to voiding at the end of wasteland hess, 16s to a bad DC split. everything was good from forest temple to the end1:16:56.10N64 record, former record
OoT All Dungeons Speedrun in 1:18:20 Zudu 2019-06-16 | nothing to say except I dislike everything about this run1:15 soon :)

Ocarina of Time JOTWAD Speedrun in 3:25.40 Zudu 2018-07-14 | run was pretty good aside from the stepping stones in the beginning :(3:25.40JOTWAD = jump off the watchtower and die, silly meme category
Ocarina of Time Go Home and Die% in 8:18 (WR) Zudu 2018-07-13 | Really good run :) 8:18.733shoutouts to lozoots....forgot to edit livesplit layout but he had WR before me with 8:24
OoT Child Dungeons RBA Speedrun in 20:51 Zudu 2018-02-18 | The goal of this category is to get the Ocarina of Time as fast as possible, using RBA to collect the spiritual stones rather than completing the actual dungeons.By no means a good run. ~20:2x/20:3x would be pretty optimized
Ocarina of Time JOTWAD Speedrun in 3:27 Zudu 2018-01-24 | JOTWAD = jump off the watch tower and die, silly meme categoryThis was on N64, slower than VC3:26 is doable on n64, maybe 3:25; not sure how low VC could go
Ocarina of Time Ganonless Speedrun in 32:16 Zudu 2017-11-25 | Reached my goal time!! WR from 11/25/2017 - 12/9/2019.The goal of Ganonless is to complete the game without defeating Ganon, achieved through performing a Credits Warp Biggest mistakes/unoptimal sections: Grabbing the ledge at some point during cuccos; Messing up the bottle on B setup/slow sign HESS to Cucco Lady; Unoptimal health when doing Bolero Skip (had 3/4 heart rather than 1/2 heart, losing me 2s on the death timer); 2 bonks and an unnecessary backflip during Fire Temple. Not much else I can complain about(Splits are different in this video than the splits posted on twitter, because splits were not part of the original video. This was a rewatch of the original video with splits included)
Ocarina of Time Low% 5 Items in 28:18 Zudu 2017-08-26 | List of items collected in this run: Deku Stick, Bottle, Bombchus, Kokiri Emerald, Master SwordCan't say I'm happy with this but the category is absolutely brutal, so I'm not gonna bring this down any further. low 27 would be ideal. Stopped the timer after butterfly fairy because the timeloss was too much for me to want to look at
A Link to the Past Any% Speedrun in 1:39 Zudu 2017-08-11 | Cave lost some good time1:35 is possible with buffering the first clip
A Link to the Past Any% Speedrun in 1:59 Zudu 2017-08-05 | 2nd pb. easy 10s+ to save on the first clip
Zelda: Lampshade Any% Speedrun in 37.067 (WR) Zudu 2017-08-03 | This along with the previous record were (I think) frame perfectly done, so random lag must have been better for me. idk
Zelda: Links Backyard 100% Speedrun in 58.300 (WR) Zudu 2017-08-02 | I lost 15 frames (.5s!) to my keyboard not responding while it was supposed to skip through text. Good run otherwise
Zelda: Links Backyard All Bushes Speedrun in 50.532 (WR) Zudu 2017-08-01 | My finger slipped at the end picking up the key :( would have been extremely good.
Zelda: Links Backyard All Enemy Kills Speedrun in 43.668 (WR) Zudu 2017-08-01 | Hardest category I've done of this. Pretty sloppy
Ocarina of Time Loach% Speedrun in 8:53 (WR) Zudu 2017-07-18 | 8:53.235The goal of this category is to catch the Hylian Loach as fast as possible. This run was far from perfect, but it'll do
Ocarina of Time Child Dungeons RBA Speedrun in 21:58 Zudu 2017-07-06 | The goal of this category is to get the Ocarina of Time as fast as possible, using RBA to collect the spiritual stones rather than completing the actual dungeons.I did not expect the huge gold on the last split, didn't know sub 22 would be possible. Pretty good run overall
Ocarina of Time Go Home and Die% Speedrun in 8:25 Zudu 2017-07-03 | 8:25.93Really bad up to Kakariko, and slow movement with chicken, new strats are the only reason I pb'd
Ocarina of Time Go Home and Die% Speedrun in 8:29 Zudu 2017-06-28 | 8:29.30 Two gross mistakes, but at the same time a bit difficult to beat
Cucco Dive Using Deku Nuts Zudu 2017-06-27 | Faster than waiting for Navi if you're going straight to the well.Have to be quick at backflipping, and the cucco needs to be decently far from where you throw the nut to backflip in timeidea by tsundere rar
Ocarina of Time Mweep% Speedrun in 9:05 (WR) Zudu 2017-06-19 | Not at all happy with this, but I should move on to more significant categories.
Ocarina of Time Dank% Speedrun in 8:58 Zudu 2017-06-16 | In this category, the goal is to do Ocarina Items with a burning stick as fast as possible to make it look as if Link is smoking weed. Final time: 8:58.63There is a faster route for dank% now for VC only, which involves GIM.For this route, buying only 1 stick and skipping the wess to Kakariko is about 5-6 seconds faster than previous runs of this route which would buy 2 sticks and do the wess. Without that route optimization this run still would have managed to beat the previous best, 9:05. (Would be around 9:03-9:04)Cuccos could be a bit better, though overall this run is very clean
Ocarina of Time Mweep% Speedrun in 9:08 Zudu 2017-06-16 | 9:08.60Very nice run aside from a bad diving game (4 dives). With great RNG, that split could be improved by at least 5 seconds to gold, or 8 seconds to this run. Sub 9 is possible but extremely RNG dependent
Ocarina of Time Race to Zelda Speedrun in 9:17 (WR) Zudu 2017-06-14 | 9:17.96badbadbad, I'll improve to most likely under 9:14
Ocarina of Time Master Sword Speedrun in 6:38 (WR) Zudu 2017-06-14 | 6:38.37First split can be like 2s faster, and very slight timesave on master sword split. Will likely improve this.
OoT All Dungeons Speedrun in 1:32:04 (Old Route) Zudu 2017-05-02 | World record for the old all dungeons route and 3rd place overall as of date of uploading.A good run with this route would be anything under 1:31, though this run was still ok. Many 10s timelosses here and there.
Ocarina of Time All Dungeons Speedrun in 1:35:09 Zudu 2017-03-18 | lost 2:30 on a split, most due to failing shadow cs skip. Very likely would have been 1:32 otherwise.nothing good about this run
Zelda Piano Medley Zudu 2017-03-04 | Song celebrating the official release date of Zelda: Breath of the Wild!This song is not my own, and was composed by Andrew Johnson. Original video here: youtube.com/watch?v=ZQvXmgqYPNE
Ocarina of Time Any% in 19:04 (N64) Zudu 2017-02-05 | After thinking this video was gone forever, I found it on another computer's hard drive --- my missing Any% PB from December, 2015. Gamefeed only because the raw recording is all that was saved.Fastest any% run completed on the original n64Frame counted the run and it ended up as 19:04.1 after thinking it was 19:03 for so long :(
4:42 Wess Escape Zudu 2016-10-24 | First 4:42 wess escape as far as I'm aware (exact time was 4:42.76)Run died to the final sidehop at guards killing a potential sub 17 master sword
No IM/WW Speedrun in 1:17:02 Zudu 2016-09-30 | Entered guard crawlspace early and voided at dot skip (30s lost)
(SA2B) Crazy Gadget IL in 1:53.90 Zudu 2016-09-25 | Did this just for fun :)idk how good this is compared to real SA2 runners, felt nice and clean though :) (No CGS or CGSS)
No IM/WW Master Sword in 17:05 Zudu 2016-09-11 | Fastest time of reaching the master sword in this category. Basically flawless besides backflipping near Zelda.
OoT Short Bingo in 37:19 (v.9.1) Zudu 2016-08-03 | Honestly very good considering this is a bingo and not RTACould maybe have been a low 36
OoT Short Bingo in 35:23 (v.9.1) Zudu 2016-08-02 | This was my first real shot at an OoT Bingo (shorter version however)-This was actually really good considering all the places that could have gone wrong.-Movement and boomerang aiming were god awful though.Overall, really happy about how this turned out, although I'm not sure if Reverse King Zora skip was even faster lol
