It gives you an idea of just how much iteration and experimentation runners go through, while also highlighting just how far a single game has come and can go.

Running through the intro portion, Cosmo walks the audience through the history of Ocarina speedrunning, and the different exploits and new routes the community discovered.

It showcases Cosmo, who was the premier runner of Ocarina for a long time, in the early days of Games Done Quick. The above run is not the current world-record time, but it might be one of the most famous recordings of Ocarina’s Any% run. No other run has been broken open and revised as many times as Ocarina of Time, a game that continues to deliver new exploits and world-record runs to this day. Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix – Critical Mode Any% Watch the above video to see just what that looks like (and how it’s done), and then check out this segment to see just how far current TAS runners are taking games and their limits.ĥ. TAS runners can program and replay exploits, so they can use risky tricks that normal runners don’t attempt or can’t execute consistently, creating runs that are beautiful in their flawless execution. It’s less execution-based than typical speedrunning, but it adds an element of perfection that’s interesting in its own right. TAS stands for “tool-assisted speedrun”-essentially recording a series of inputs, frame-by-frame, in order to create a pixel-perfect run. I chose this one, however, because it showcases just exactly the how and why of TAS runs, and what they bring to the speedrunning community. Sure, there are plenty of mind-bending, crazy antics that TASBot has been getting into at recent Games Done Quick events. Note: Actual run starts around the 13-minute mark
