Random: Speedrunner Beats Zelda: Ocarina Of Time In Smash Bros. Brawl

Remember the timed Nintendo demos you were able to play in Super Smash Bros. Brawl on the Nintendo Wii? Well, a speedrunner has used this trial to roll the credits in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (yes, you can play through the entire game).

The speedrunner and YouTuber known as ‘Savestate’ used the Zelda demo located within the ‘Masterpieces’ menu and was able to complete the game in just 4 minutes and 38 seconds. That’s just 12 seconds before the demo session times out.

Here’s a bit extra about it, which also reveals how the run was achieved in the Japanese version of the demo:

“This version of Ocarina of Time included in the Masterpieces selection in Super Smash Brothers Brawl is a timed demo of the game (5 minutes) which includes 2 save files: one starting as Child with nothing except the intro cutscene cleared and another as Adult with small amount of progression after turning adult. With the items given to us in the JP version of the demo, we’re able to just barely squeeze in two SRMs with custom heap manipulations, along with a fish allocation in Goron City to perform a current cutscene SRM wrong warp to the credits.”
