Heya guys!
I've been watching speedruns since 2011, but only recently started getting interested in running myself. N64 games like OoT and BK are a couple of my favorites to watch but am unsure of what I'd like to start my personal journey with. Either way, hoping to make some good friends here! Have a stellar rest of the year, y'all!
hey hello, welcome to the site, good luck in your endeavors)
Welcome to the speedrunning community! It's great to hear that you're interested in getting into running yourself. Ocarina of Time and Banjo-Kazooie are definitely popular games to run, but there are plenty of other games to choose from as well. Some people prefer to start with shorter, more straightforward games to get the hang of the basics before moving on to more complex runs.
There are a lot of resources available to help you get started, such as speedrunning communities on Discord and Reddit, tutorial videos on YouTube, and online leaderboards where you can track your progress and compare your times with other runners.
Don't be afraid to ask questions and seek out advice from other runners. The speedrunning community is generally very welcoming and supportive, and there are always people willing to offer help and encouragement.
Good luck on your journey, and have fun!
