      I subbed for the technical explanation of the screen scroll glitch. :D
      One of the things that has gotten me to stick around in speedrunning (spectating) is the technical aspect of what these runners are doing and how they have dissected the games. So thanks for helping to explain these crazy techniques!. :D

      Exactly!
      There's two things needed for level 9
      1 - all eight triforce pieces to "skip the old man" in the beginning
      2 - any sword to beat Ganon (plus the bow + silver arrow)
      This is why you can't beat Ganon in the swordless speedrun.

You must have put so much work into the video and it shows and it helps to understand all that is going on very smoothly. More than well done. This video is awesome.

      It's as if at the end of every level, a bus arrives every 21 frames to bring you to the next level. Even if you miss the bus by just one frame, you would still have to wait 20 frames to catch the next bus. Sometimes though, you'll arrive just before a bus does, and you'll hardly have to wait at all. Of course, this doesn't apply to the last level, since timing stops immediately once you touch the axe at the end.

There isn't _really_ an Anti-Link, and there aren't _really_ any Judges in that one level in Super Mario Bros, and the parallel universes trick doesn't involve _real_ parallel universes. But it's useful to call them those things - and I think it's really really fun, too.

It really shows how quickly things can go wrong and how easy it is to lose time. It was also great how Lack seemed to realize, in his head, all the small consequences pretty much immediately and how to adjust for them. Love the videos mr banana man
