Sort of related, it’s awesome to see that they’re still finding massive bugs in these old games (such as Ocarina if Time, which only recently have a proper ACE exploit found) 20+ years later and figuring out _why_ these bugs happen so they can figure out easier ways to make it happen so they can actually use them in runs. It’s fascinating to watch the progression of these exploits
- Agent766 6y agoCheck out the history of Wind Waker's barrier skip as well. I believe it saves 30 minutes of a 3.5 hour run. It's always been known that finding a way to skip Wind Waker's barrier would be massive, but it resisted any attempts to bypass it until a year ago. The barrier blocks off the final dungeon of the game.
