This movie was made using an emulator with savestates and slowdown. It’s meant to show the game pushed to its limits.

Notes:
Full completion of The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. This movie is fast and full of time-saving techniques.
Two of the tricks used are not viable on console: A levitation trick to hover over pits (requires fast auto-fire of the dash button), and a wobbling trick to walk faster in certain directions (requires a modified SNES controller that can press Up+Down at the same time).
However, walk-through-walls glitches are NOT used; this run beats the entire game.
This movie:
- Aims for fastest time
- Takes damage to save time
- Uses a game restart sequence
- Abuses programming errors in the game
- Manipulates luck
