Wind Waker is already the best Zelda, it's hard to imagine it being even better. But if it was... :gizz:

I like to think Majora's Mask as the best zelda but that's just my opinion. I just liked how they made the game more darker than any of the others and it felt really good.

And if I remember correctly, It's the only [3D] Zelda game to have an innocent die in it [Getting the Zora Mask]

There is a guard that dies in the back alleys of the market in OoT after the whole Zelda escaping with Impa scene plays but before you get the Master Sword.

:aaaaa: Where can I read up on this if it's true? Also I guess you can also consider Saria and that Gerudo thief deaths as well but I meant the whole rescuing the Zora and the scene that comes after.

E: to clarify, I knew that I'd end up with a Goron and Zora mask eventually but I never thought it'd be from someone dying. It was kinda sad.

A lot of the major stream chatrooms are insufferable as it is but this seems particularly nasty.

Shame to see a choke like that in BitS, though. :(

edit: They're spamming hearts in the chatroom so maybe I spoke too soon?

Never try to understand stream monsters. Any little mistake and the chat gets flooded with "RESET!" and then 10 seconds later everyone's talking about how "this is the run/urn"

COSMO DID IT!

I don't exactly know what "it" is, but he did some playing with the baton then swam backwards a whole bunch and now he's on a messed-up island!

He got to Great Fish Island before getting all three pearls and avoiding the KORL lock.

The reason the Island was all messed up was because it didn't load completely.

Luckily you guys have never watched Mofat/Zodiacsmash's stream as every time he fails to do something [He speedruns Twilight princess so those skips and tricks are usually hard to impossible to pull on the first time] he constantly swears whilst putting "human being" between each swear. I literally stopped watching between his constant swearing bullshit and when he reset and threw his gamecube controller on the ground, breaking it.

Sometimes when watching people speedrun bad games it sometimes gives me a thought of attempting to stream some games in hopes of speedrunning them. Due to most likely not having good PC specs and reconsidering speedrunning Sega/Masterdrive games keeps me away though.

It seems like if he spends some time hitting the parts seperately a few times first he can always avoid that due to them having different health values. Shooting part 1 3 times, part 2 5 times, and part 3 7 times and then just using breaker would fix everything.

Whatever it is, I'm pretty sure Mike Uyama suffers from it too. Without fail, every time he gets a new personal best on Sub-Terrania, the first words out of his mouth, after the insane laughter subsides, is "I think sub-[minutes digit of new best time] is possible."

Yeah man it's baffling how much punishment they're asking for. I guess it's cool that they keep wanting to push the game and their skill to the limit but geez man take a day or two as a break or something.

Mofat was doing Twilight Princess runs last night. When I went to bed at around 3am CST he was -2:58. Anyone know how that run wound up?

My guess would be because he's a lovely speedrunner whom doesn't put effort into practicing. Also what the previous dudes said.

I was stoked to see a Twilight Princess Speedrunner until I heard him say 'human being' like a million times in under a minute.

I think he'd have gotten more viewers if he streamed Mario party with all players as Easy CPU. 0xwas did that once and it was loving Magnificent

Cosmo's a good guy who explains what's going on, Mirrored basically took over the commentary, used "we", whined about his own donation name ideas not getting donations (iirc), rambled about his cancer surviving mother, and did not shut up despite being kindly asked to do it by Cosmo himself, at least once.

(Was hard to listen to the stream at the time because of him. Nobody laid a hand on his shoulder and told him to shush or gtfo?)

Maybe next year we can have Mofat do a Twilight Princess run, fail every trick, then listen to him say human being every 5 seconds while breaking someone's gamecube controller. [God I hope this never happens]
