Zelda II: The Adventure of Link by EnchantressOfNumbers in 50:59-Summer Games Done Quick 2020 Online

Thank you very much Yellowkiller. Good to see you and unfortunately friends, I am very sorry due to technical problems. We had to cut the rest of the Powerblades. Many apologies for that, but without further ado, I still want everyone to get as much publicity. possibly you can because this is the end of the black nest this is enchanters and numbers with

zelda

2 reverse boss order good luck you got this I'm the numbers sorceress and with me I have meg mac attack and solsting helping comment, so I'm going to go ahead and start here, uh, so the time starts about three seconds after I select the file, so I'm going to try my best to count three, two, one, that was a really bad countdown.

We'll be silent and let the comments explain what's going on, so this is the boss's reverse order. In order to win this game in reverse, we will have to make a mistake called the healer's mistake. This mistake involves perfect double-square entries in the queen killer. here we're going to make it turn around in the window and then turn around in the door and enter the door and eon got it first, try to place it in the exact pixels and it takes you to this place called Glitch Town, uh, Yeah. and uh, now we've warped badly, so by the way, I'm Meg Mac Attack.

I am also a runner in this game, although not in this category. I like to run glitch races, uh, too and I was involved in some of the route that was

done

in this category and 100, which is also a glitch category, um, so now we've moved to the tomb area and we're about to go to the mountain of death on the right path, which is the other way around, backwards. The end of the mountain of death and uh, this is a very challenging part of the race, um, especially for beginners, um, and uh, yeah, we're going to cross the bridge, we're going to get the hammer, yeah, this is going very well until now. um and go get the hammer which basically completely opens up the early game and we'll get it really early because of the wrong warp here if you're familiar with um

zelda

ii in general like you've played it and uh you've been mad about it because it's a very difficult game, you know death mountain is one of the worst parts and we just skipped it completely, we just skipped over every part that hurts. eon does not get the candle.

In this run, all the caves will be this beautiful blue abyss where she has to look at four pixels on the floor to know where the enemies are. Yes, if you look very carefully at the floor, you can do it, depending on the level of quality you have. By looking at you you may be able to see the enemies that are on the ground, you may be able to see their feet and that's what eon is using to know where they are as well as memorize where they should be, and some of the enemies glow. in the dark and that's because his color palette is part of the palette that's visible in other areas of the UI, so ion is going to kill some enemies down here, this is not a path you're likely to have You see it a lot in speedruns, um, oh, and there's a kill, yeah, there's a little meow that's very hard to kill and can be very annoying while you're trying to take out that Dyra.

I'm purposely going in that direction to change the drops. around and give me a chance to get attack 3 out of here so yeah we're trying to get it out uh we're trying to get it out um three one two levels out of here so attack three magic one life two uh and that basically sets us up for what which we need later um it kind of depends on a stock market crash coming um in this room here before the hammer and uh we'll see if we get it will decide how much effort we end up with oh we got it.

Okay, I got it good, too, uh, um, you might notice how much he jumps and backs away and stuff he does when sword fighting guys, that all the enemies are hackers in this game and they read your entries to cheat like idiots, um, so yeah. The start of the fight gets very intense, yeah, um, yeah, so when eon likes to jump around enemies, the goal is basically to get the enemy to keep moving towards um, towards eon, and um, if not You do that. Those, some of those daras, the ax throwers, will end up under overhangs and it's very difficult to fight them up there, it's almost impossible to do without them without getting hit and they hurt a lot at these levels, so now we're getting the medicine we need to get the fairy spell, which is one of the three spells we'll actually get in this run, it's actually a low percentage too, we don't need much to win the game.

In this case, we literally just need, what is a fairy thunder and reflect? Yeah, those are the only spells we'll get, we won't get life, we won't get a shield which will make some of the boss fights incredibly difficult. um, but yeah, I also don't put any gems before going to Thunderbirds, so yeah, gems are usually used in zelda 2 speedruns to increase your xp, uh, and we're going to finish the game at relatively low levels, esp. compared to an all key run, uh, so yeah, it's almost a low percentage run as well, which is kind of surprising, yeah, pretty much the only security I have is that I collect two containers of hearts so I can survive a Thunderbird hit, yes, you.

You might think we're going back to this town to get a shield, but no, we're actually going to do another healer's blunder and this time we're going to do it a little differently when we get to Glitchtown. I didn't succeed on the first try. this time and then you can only be so lucky, yes it's time to restart immediately after the healer's second mistake, it's one of the hardest tricks and it's where the number sorceress gets her name from, yes it will be very very hard to tell, tell, um, yes, until the end. to five, so you can notice that Eon sometimes backtracks immediately after the first input, that's because he knows he missed the pixel on the first one, you can tell if it's the right one basically by where. his nose is oh that was really good um ping pong demonstration um so I have to tell can I have a quiet moment?

That's one. Okay, this time we went through this door and that's important. Two, three, four and five. Okay, we made it. I love how the city becomes more wrecked each time you do it. Yes, you may have noticed that the city was becoming more problematic every time Ian walked through a gate. The reason is, what was happening is basically that, the reason why all this happens. it's because when you enter glitchtown, what you actually find is an unused copy of a city layout, uh, and all of its inputs are set to zero, which is actually also the entrance to glitchtown, so basically it feeds back to itself every time. you go through a door and you come back to the exact same place and what's happening is there's a stack in memory for the doors uh it's so crazy immediately it's like a normal game oh no it's a garbage mess and now we have the gauntlet just like everyone remembers doing it when they were kids, uh, yeah, so that stack only contains about uh, two numbers, basically, what Dory went through, because that's how deep you can go into the doors in this game in the cities. , and so on, once you overflow. which starts writing ones and twos to random points in memory, not randomly obviously, really, but just to different points in memory and we basically break the tables that decide how wide the screen is supposed to be from different ways at different points and that makes It completely wrong in terms of where you are on a screen when you enter and you can see here, we're about to do it.

Typically this is a big, wide screen and you go all the way across it. No, actually we are already on the screen. right side on the left side and we have to walk back to get to where we should have entered and that's why eon goes left in this city and then comes back to pick up the things and that's called scroll lock or we call it lock of scrolling because it basically, in many cases, locks the screen from scrolling to the left, so yeah, um, and we'll use it for warping a lot, we'll use it for um encounters.

They're a lot less scary now because you can walk to the left and out of most of them. Many set encounters are now much more trivial. But mainly we'll use them to warp incorrectly and move

quick

ly through palaces, and that's a big part of this, yes, palaces now become a series of exits to the left, return to the right, exits to the left and back to the right until you're on the smashed screen which is the corrective angle screen, yes now everyone's favorite sword technique. stab down yes stab down is actually necessary even in this category to win the game and also to have fun playing this game because without stab down this game is much less fun just a

quick

note for anyone confused not familiar with uh eon flow um number sorceress we shortened to eon yeah that's true this is a good point um so eon is doing something called uh fairy feet here um oh I didn't get it I didn't get it there more possibilities later fairy feeding is a lot of fun, yes we will see it a few times.

Fairy feeding is so fun because it's called that because someone discovered it while playing with their feet. They were doing a challenge race where they played with their feet and... I managed to do this thing where you basically use the ferry to slowly move towards the left edge of the screen and when you press right after the ferry disappears , you end up on the right side of whatever encounter you're supposed to be in. and now this is also the mountain of death as you remember it uh this is the correct way normally this is the way you can remember but as you can see we are not going through any of these screens it is actually like entering them by walking a little to the right and then walking to the left uh and that's us basically wrong warping around the mountain of death um yeah and look I don't know why it was so hard to do it when I was a kid I mean it's really that simple Yes, it is understood.

It gets a lot easier that way, for sure, and it's kind of fun about the fairy story, the fairy spell in this game because you can use, oh yeah, we help teleport you to the maze island like it's nothing, because that's how the game works all over the world. map uh, remember that, you go into that cave, yeah, yeah, you come out and you're on your labyrinth island, that's where and I actually skipped an encounter in the overworld by doing the fairy feet, uh glitch, yeah, uh Yes, along the way. The game works, uh, if you go into that encounter the right way, you'll come out going down, left, or right, depending on how you came in, it'll be the opposite if you come out of there. or the same thing, if you don't get the fairy feet and if you don't manage to get those fairy feet, you actually have to do a set encounter which is a little annoying, so save a little time doing that.

That stealth went back to the well, I wanted to get that bag p, uh, yeah, and now we're getting a couple of important items that you still need to win the game, uh, let's get the boots here, uh, that you need. to enter palace five and the raft we will need to travel faster between the eastern and western continent later, even though we are already on the eastern continent uh and yes, we are going to take the raft from here, we are not going to return to the western continent to get it uh actually we're going to do a wrong job all the way to the entrance to palace 3 uh from palace 4.

I think that's a magic pixel, yeah, it looks pretty cool, okay, so that's a pixel that you can actually fly over. of the iron knuckle without receiving damage. under that low overhang, yeah, and you need it, you can't just push yourself over there, you actually have to like one pixel at a time, move, it's not your way down to get underneath, I had to do that because I took a little damage from the iron knuckle at the palace entrance and you may have seen that she went through the door with the fairy spell which isn't actually part of any of the glitches that are happening, it's just something you can do in the game and there is a lot of debate about whether that was intentional or a glitch that was left in, but I remember as a kid my older cousin telling me that, oh yeah, you can fly through the doors like the ferry. because you're small enough to fit through the keyhole, but that's not mentioned in the instruction manual, but nintendo power talked about it, it's kind of interesting, no one knows if they meant that or not, so um on that note in uh by the Now we are in Palace Three, we have jumped from the police to Palace Three, which you may remember is on an island in the east, on the western continent, and we are here to get the raft, and we will be.

Return to both palaces later to beat the bosses, but it's obviously too early and rbo to fight palace bosses three and four. Conveniently, the most convenient order to beat the bosses in rba in glitch mode isdaydream good luck on your race thank you we have a hundred dollars from Windchaser who says sgdq is here he had to donate during zelda two race good luck sorceress and all the other racers for the rest of the event great event for a big cause hype we got fifty dollars from trav white who says good luck again revo shower kite thanks trev i saw a lot of revo sharks in the chat btw i don't know if i've seen it before but it's one of the cutest shark emotes I've ever seen, it was just drawn by Soul Sting, so ah, it's really cute, do we have time for some more?

Oh yeah, we're just going through that? I've seen this before, so let's go through the grand palace again the same way we did last time. Once we get close to the dark

link

we will interrupt it feel free to do so so we have a 500 donation from a mega therion who says it is a secret to everyone thank you very much we have ten dollars from the cleric who says good luck to ian with zelda two races the rbo race is one that always surprises me to see and I can't wait to see thank you claire we have a 100 donation from ian keith he says go get a meon and he says beat those bosses but it's the other way around, actually I had I had to do it right, I just did it backwards, I liked it, oh, on the subject of backwards, I think it should be shouted out. someone pointed this out to eon uh before the race and I feel like it really needs to be shouted out. ian is the only person who plays that runs both tetris the grand master and this game backwards because there is a rev mode. from uh tetris the grand master, which is an amazing tetris game that is not loved enough, uh, and eon does that and also this backwards, uh, so I like to do things backwards, do things backwards and drop blocks, as you may have noticed, there are blocks that fall.

In this game I also wanted to cover very quickly also the comments and the gameplay, everything has been fantastic so far, so thank you all so much for your understanding and of course eon for all the glitches, yes, the comments. It's been wonderful, I really appreciate my team, I'm happy to be a part of things on a note related to that, um, uh, I first heard about eon from one of their uh, their gdq works like we found out it was your catch from sakura card oh yeah yeah that was the first time I saw her or did anything with her and uh um I ended up through amethyst who made the very nice donation message earlier we met eon and became friends right away, So it's kind of crazy how things can go in this day and age that we're in, where you can see someone on the Internet and say, "He seems really cool," and then you just talk to him every day, yeah.

Sure uh eon was eon was one of my inspirations to get into speedrunning and uh and all that and streaming so it's pretty cool to be on you know, gdq uh virtual couch couch uh beyond um and I'm It's a big honor to be here and learn a lot today. Can I get two more quick donations? Yes, just two more. Very sorry. I want to make sure they fit. We have a donation of 25 from Supersonic saying that Ian is one of the best. and the coolest people i have ever met she is amazing in zelda two and i am absolutely amazed by this rba run i really enjoy these glitchy worlds keep it up and then a follow up to the kid we are talking about the kid from before 100 from an awesome toaster saying poor kid we tend to take him on some weird

adventure

s in rando too yeah it's nice sure I think you probably see more screen there so if I don't delete it it would be black and it might actually I don't see Dark Link for the fight, yeah, Dark Link's fight isn't much different, it's glitchy or anything like that, it doesn't matter what attack level you have, it always takes the same amount of hits to beat Dark Link, I think so. maybe we should exclude some things from the community, yes, we should stop time when it stops walking to the right afterwards, but okay, and time, so yeah, that's the race.

Thank you very much, a couple of quick shout outs to the community, definitely a simple and light guy that you recently picked up. up the tier and I've been killing it um and then the whole zelda 2 speedrunning community is amazing um was there more you wanted? Yes, I mean squibbins and um, yes and yes, Ferratu's evil also contributed a lot to this category's route. Yes, I mentioned in the interview that I didn't put it into action, but they did a lot of work before I came in and they did it, thanks to them for making it possible. um and gtm, who did the first proof of concept.

He did a lot of work, uh, figuring out how to put everything in the glitch state, so another person who is very interested in why this race is possible, also the one who discovered the door stack glitch in glitchtown, I don't know who that is in reality. I don't run diesel either but Feasel mentioned there was something on sda and that's what he used to do in his career so we could probably track it down but I don't know, yeah I don't know either. I should figure it out anyway, can I get the time? By the way, is anyone 50 59?

Oh, nice sub 51. Okay, with that, I think I'll return it, enjoy the rest of the gdq, thanks. everyone for the wonderful donations and support and for watching, okay everyone in the chat, let's hear it one more time for Enchantress and Never Soul Sting and My Mac Attack, what a beautiful runner and couch. Thank you all so much again for that fantastic race. and please give eon a follow too so after this we will have the Elder Scrolls for Oblivion and Sandy There was so much love for eon here.

Dude, yeah, you hit the nail on the head, everything was good, thank you very much, yeah, I'm doing good, I'm a little nervous because he's my first ever. gtu appearance and it's twitcher3 on gtq which you know I really like it if you can't see it properly but yeah okay I can't wait for it to run actually yeah let's get into it because the first thing I wanted to ask you was about joining. this gdq

online

because, like you said in the first appearance and everything, this was a new opportunity for you because it was

online

, or you were planning to maybe travel to a gdq that is on the site in the future anyway.

I mean yeah that was a really good opportunity for me like I was just a student from Poland so it's not that easy for me to travel all the way to America to GDQ to apply so yeah that was a great opportunity and I'm really glad we got into the program with The Witcher 3. Yeah, I think it's really cool that we get to see a lot more international representation here with the uh, you know, sgdq coming online this year, so it's like you're taking a It's not such a good situation and making the best of it, which I think is great, yeah, exactly.

Now, for anyone not aware, Kachik will address. The Witcher 3 comes a little bit after the Elder Scrolls. for oblivion run so I want to ask why Witcher 3 because I think this is a game that people are familiar with from sinking like 200 hours into it. You know, it's a game you could spend tons of time on, but you don't really listen. It appears with fast races very often, why have you decided to run this game? The answer is very simple. I really love the game. I have one thing: I only run

games

that I really like if you go to my Speedrun account page there.

Basically, there are all the

games

that I really like and spend hundreds of hours on, and Witcher 3 is one of them. It makes me so sad that the Witcher 3 community isn't that big because you think of Witcher 3 as a game that, like you said, has so many hours to delve into so many side quests and an amazing story, but you don't really think about it in the form of a career. quick because you think this game is too long, like the main plot is too long for a quick run, right? two hours take it or leave it right now yeah that's the thing too like I said only two hours once you really get into it which isn't too long for a lot of people if they get into it I think it's super cool , uh, so with this category that you're going to run with a duration of two hours, there's no way that there won't be some jumps and some moments in it and stuff, uh, why is there an old patch percentage and how is that there is a Moment in this race that people can look forward to if they don't know anything about The Witcher and just want to know why I should bother tuning in two races from now.

Again, that's a very good question because in the first eight to ten minutes of the race you're going to see a bug that will change your life, not only is the best category, which has a three percent old patch, not even the best category in the Witcher 3 story but in the story story and you'll see exactly why I'm not going to spoil it because it's a big thing to get to this round and a big thing to put off differently differentiating between the old patch and the current patch, which takes about an hour to run, so that's something, I'll tell you how it works.
