Ocarina of Time Master Sword RTA Speedrun in 3:39.516 (WR)

CountLG 2024-09-21 | Big improvement over my last pb thanks mostly to a very difficult wess across the river in Hyrule Field, as well as cleaner segments overall and some extra sidehop movement toward the end. Apologies for no input display, I didn't realize I had it unplugged.

Ocarina of Time GSR Speedrun in 1:07:36

CountLG 2024-09-20 | *Note that the sum of best shown in the video is inaccurate, and faster than it should be by about 16s. The reason is that I started using a new child section route which moves the bazaar trip earlier, so the master sword split was a fake best.

Decent run but not without its hiccups. I took some things safer than usual to practice for an upcoming relay race and made a few silly mistakes, notably failing to 1-cycle Bongo Bongo, doing an extra sidehop up the mountain to magic and waking Biggoron, failing 2nd kak hess, failing castle owl skip, failing a bomb OI and playing pro skater on the statue in Spirit. Happy to get this though, it's my first time holding GSR again since my 1:12 (now 1:10) set in 2021.

This run also uses a new route which does spirit jump and uses more explosives throughout the early game. Optimally it saves upwards of 20s, but depends on execution & strat choice in both routes.

Ocarina of Time Any% Speedrun in 3:47.900 (WR)

CountLG 2024-07-13 | Great beginning and the best RNG I've ever had made for an otherworldly pace entering shop, but some pretty big mistakes during the crawlspace segment brought the run back down to Earth.

CountLG 2024-06-27 | Sloppy midgame, but strong beginning and lategame as well as really good RNG managed to make up for it. Note that I split late, so the timer doesn't reflect the actual time in the end.

Ocarina of Time Any% Speedrun in 3:49.466

CountLG 2024-06-24 | 4x baby. Almost a really good run but I messed up on crawlspace which cost a few seconds. Still enough to grab the sub 3:50 though which is great. Note that I mistakenly stop the timer very late which is irrelevant to the actual time, so it ends up displaying 3:52 for the credits sequence.

OoT Go Home and Die Speedrun in 5:01 (WR)

CountLG 2024-05-28 | From June 2023. Originally I was going to push this further but after setting this run I realized SRM is allowed in the category which discouraged me from continuing lol. I should've published the run at the time regardless since I believe it's still the fastest completion, so apologies for not doing so.

Deku Tree Wrong Warp to Credits as Child by Bliny

CountLG 2024-03-01 | All credit goes to Bliny for this discovery, I just recorded footage of it with permission. Timestamped instructions below, as well as important watches at the bottom:

*Make sure to begin from the title screen cutscene, as the credits warp will play a portion of the credits which takes place in Hyrule Field.

*Also make sure to leave the permanent rupees in Kokiri Forest uncollected, specifically the one behind Mido's house since it's easy to grab in routes that do aqua escape.

00:12 Climb House of Twins with isg, hover onto upper area, sidehop past load transition and enter Deku Tree. (Deku Tree cutscene must be unwatched)

00:55 Leave Deku Tree and watch cutscene. Select the lower option to say "No" when given the choice.

1:30 Target the wall shown and cross the loading transition 4 times. Approach the Deku Tree and target its mouth to initiate the cutscene again. Select "Yes" this time.

1:54 Skip past Mido with a Bombchu HESS, then maneuver to the stepping stones. Hold target as you sidehop onto the small square stone to clear the invisible Rupee.

2:08 Get angle 0x6f2c (in hex). Setup shown may be inconsistent with the angle ess up gives you, might need an improved strategy.

2:11 Navigate to the circle of rocks in front of Mido's house while making sure to collect the 2 bush Rupees along the way, and making sure to keep the angle from before.

2:18 Drop bugs, drop a chu, then pull another chu and drop it toward a rock. Catch bugs then deathwarp back to Deku Tree.

2:46 Heap manipulation is over, the rest is just picking up some items and navigating to Gohma's boss room.

4:23 Wrong Warp (Deku to DC and Ganondoor both work afaik). There may be a good setup for Deku to DC with chu already, I just yolo'd it for demonstration purposes.

5:05 Credits!

Watches in order of top to bottom:

Link X
Link Y
Link Z
Facing Angle
Camera Angle (reference watches sheet for all of these)
801CAAC8 x32 which should read 80219630 after the 2nd Deku Tree cutscene

0x80219630 x32 which should read da03ff after pulling chu/blowing up rock.

DGnSRM Ganonfloor Lotad in 11:47

CountLG 2024-01-21 | Not technically a full working lotad, spliced the warp at the end since it wasn't known how to make it consistent at the time. Also used footage from my previous lotad for the ending, so ignore bombs on C.

Builder of Bridges in 34:28

CountLG 2023-06-04 | Decent, though I could've used some faster strats in shadow temple and made some mistakes in adult section. (failed hess to kak once, failed double chu after GV mega a few times.) Low 34 may have been doable with some more grinding but I'm happy to have gotten this at least.

OoT Nocturne RTA Speedrun in 42:46 (WR)

CountLG 2022-12-04 | Decent run, though still had its share of silly mistakes. Most notably failing waterfall megasidehop to enter Zora's Domain and a sloppy Forest Temple, which add up to around 30 seconds. 42 was my goal though so I'll probably leave it here for now.

OoT JOTWAD Speedrun in 3:16.900 (WR)

CountLG 2022-11-02 | Jump Off The Watchtower And Die

Pretty happy with this. Movement up the stairs in Kak could probably be improved but faster options will often talk to the carpenter, so I played it safe with a backwalk. Forward sidehop wess could also be done with an ess twist but I'm not sure it would save much with RTA execution as the sideroll also helps get into position.

Boat Skip Comparison: Triple Slash Clip vs Chu Megaflip

CountLG 2022-10-13 | (EDIT: TSC has same amount of frame perfect inputs as megaflip with the only one being the hover boots equip. The hook pull is always 2 frames if you target and hold LEFT for the horizontal slashes.)

Triple slash method has 1 more frame perfect input but you'll still break even with a buffer. You save a chu as well, which can probably be used for some extra timesave depending on your route. So overall it's probably worth it.

There are a few ways to get oob after the hoverboost, I just show holding left after a bit since it seemed lenient enough.

How to ALWAYS enter Castle Crawlspace PERFECTLY at Daybreak!

Ocarina of Time MST Speedrun in 1:46:39

CountLG 2022-04-15 | First 1:46! This run uses an updated version of the "Dodongdoor Route" which utilizes Skulltula Push for bottom of the well bombchus, allowing us to skip getting the sword, shield and ocarina in the child section, and saves around 1m+ over the ocarina dive route. 1:45 should be doable with a solid run, and maybe 1:44 as well with an incredible run.

Nabooru Cutscene Skip with Ledge Clip from Doorframe (Sword & Stick Setups)

CountLG 2022-03-12 | New method of Nabooru CS skip using a glitchy grab from the top of the doorframe to ledge clip. It was known before you could do a ledge clip like this using a backwalk off the throne, but that method is considered tas-only or at least very hard and not RTA friendly. This method uses grabbing the top of the doorframe instead to achieve the same result, which ends up being more lenient and thus very viable to pull off in real time. Saves about 3-5s over other hookshot clip methods, or closer to 6-8s over no greatspins with sword.

Skull Push Backup for 2nd Frame Left Turn

CountLG 2022-01-30 | If you happen to target for 3f instead of 2f, it can technically still work, but only if skull height was 31, since you land a frame later than normal. So if this happens, just backflip and hold down, since you may as well try anyway.

1-Pause Adult DoT Skip with Stick or Sword (see description)

CountLG 2022-01-21 | Note that for the sword slash setup, you must release target during the sidehop to ensure a good camera for the clip. Alternatively you can target the same wall in the corner, but do a fully left crouch stab, then sidehop and proceed as normal. This will clip regardless of target release. (Thanks to Dotzo for this strat!)

1 bomb SS collapse skip has 4 roll frames

CountLG 2021-10-05 | FRAME DATA AND DESCRIPTION BELOW

1st roll frame - 5th and 6th grab work (7th will superslide, but not clip)
2nd roll frame - only 5th grab works
3rd roll frame - 5th and 6th grab work
4th roll frame - only 5th grab works

1 bomb superslide with the normal setup has 4 frames to roll, as long as you grab the bomb on the 5th frame of the roll. Some roll frames will work with more grab frames, but grabbing on 5th will ensure all roll frames work, so it's probably worth buffering to be safe. (MST needs to equip hammer usually anyway)

Good run! A couple minor movement errors here and there, but a strong yolo escape and overall decency were enough to close it out.

Ocarina of Time MST Speedrun in 1:49:39

CountLG 2021-08-09 | Skipped the 1:50 and managed to close out my first world record in MST!

Solid run for the most part, only major timelosses being struggling to get over Mido in Lost Woods, failing enter Jabu once, some subpar Twinrova RNG, and a bit of a sloppy Forest Temple.

This run uses the as of now most up-to-date 1080 + Dodongdoor route, and is the first record to incorporate jungle jump to reach the bow early in Forest Temple, a trick that saves about a minute. I think a really nice run on this route would be a low 1:48 or maybe high 1:47.
