I don't speedrun this game personally, so it isn't really important to me personally but I do watch WW Speedruns from time to time, and I noticed there was a new category called Any% No Barrier Skip, but isn't that the same exact route as if you were going for all dungeons? probably a silly out-of-touch question to ask with a very simple answer, but I was just wondering if there was a purpose for having separate categories here.

So I personally sorta phase in and out of the speedrunning community, and when I came back to check speedrun.com just because and all the sudden the Individual Level leaderboards are completely abolished, nowhere to be found. Is there a particular reason for this? just wondering

Hey guys, as almost all of you probably know the ZSR website is dead; nobody updates it or uses it at all. I honestly dont understand why, its a very well layed out website and i really like the list of speedrun glitches and techniques it has. The sad thing is its so outdated now. Is it possible to bring it back? start updating it, maybe even migrate the leaderboards from ZSR and Speedrun.com together as one. Just something i was thinking about. Ive always really liked ZSR and its sad that its not really used anymore.

Im starting to speedrun this game a bit, and currently working out a route for myself. but i have one question, which is better; the fairy fountain alternative exit or index warp? i know how to index warp pretty well and that is what i currently use, but it seems like the grotto wrong warp thing is faster. is it really faster? cause you have to climb stone tower, and plus you have to hit each and every owl statue if you want to warp to places. so which is really better?

So im trying to switch over from Emu to VC, and im running into one major issue (other than having no Capture card lol). The game is incredibly dark. I tried messing with my TV settings, changing brightness, contrast, backlight, literally everything, and nothing seems to make a difference. Is there a way to fix this?

The main issue with this is for WW, i need to line up with a specific texture for the setup, and i literally cant see it cause its completely black. So i have to just guess where im supposed to be for the setup and it usually fails. Responses would be appreciated, thanks!

This game seems like a great speed game and one of my childhood favorites, so i would love to speedrun this game. Although, i know very little about speed strats and glitches in SM64, so what would be a good category to start with? one thats not too long, and doesnt use too many difficult tricks. I was thinking maybe 16 Star, but i have no idea. Responses would be appreciated, Thanks

I've always wanted to learn MM Any%, and i know most of the beginner friendly strats. One of the few things that is holding me back though is the Great Bay BK skip, in which is extremely difficult for me. I can clip through the ramp fairly consistently, but i cannot get the angle for the recoil flip to the loading zone at all; at least consistently which is what im looking for. are there any notable visual cues or anything i should be looking for? most videos i watched make it seem like its rather arbitrary... Responses would be appreciated. Thanks!

For a while now ive wanted to learn All Dungeons or MST, and ive heard MST is one of the easiest to learn for beginners but All Dungeons is one of the hardest; but how? The only difference is the Trials, in all dungeons you skip the trials (Which is very easy). Are there other differences im unaware of? Responses would be appreciated, Thanks

So i just started learning the new GIM route for OOT any%, and im trying to actually do the GIM glitch itself (The deku basement clip setup one) and i got the actual clip itself down fairly consistently. the issue im running into, is after i clip i just fall out of bounds, regardless of what i do. the video i watched said to hold Z on the frame link gets hit by the walltula, but that didnt seem to do anything, as i tried that on various frames. does anyone know what im doing wrong..? if so please let me know, thanks

Since there's already a ton of categories for OOT, all banning different tricks and glitches (such as RBA, IM, WW, etc.), i think it kind of makes sense to have a No IM category, banning GIM, RBA, BA, and any other glitches that manipulate your inventory other than what is intended by the game. The old kak route for OOT any% used no IM, and is still used a lot, but doesnt hold up very well to GIM routes. Of course it would be a pain in the ass for people to have to sort through hundreds of runs and decide which ones use IM and which ones dont, but its just a thought.

Thank you for your time, -Marthur

As of right now, i speedrun OOT on an emulator using an XBox 360 controller since that is the best pc controller i have. It is terrible for percise analog stick movement and has quite a bad input delay so its actually horrible for speedrunning. I cant do a WESS consistently at all because the deadzone i have to use on the emulator extends to the very edge of where ESS position is making me have to hold the analog stick extremely precisely or it will fail and not work. I was thinking about buying a USB GC controller but im worried im gonna pay for it and itll be some horrible flimsy trash. if someone could direct me to a good controller to use with an emulator for speedrunning, that would help a lot, thanks :D

I really want to actually start speedrunning this game without using an emulator and the PC port seems to be the best option (since i dont own a capture card to record it off of a console) but i swear the PC port of this game is a myth. I cannot find a valid download link anywhere, and even worse i cant find a copy of the PC port CD anywhere either, hell i cant even find a picture of one. Idk how illusive a game could be but if someone could shoot me a download link or something id really appreciate it...

Ever since I began speedrunning OOT Any%, ive always wanted a better and more "legit" way to play the game and record it like using an N64 or Wii or whatever. I actually could buy a japanese copy of the N64 release, but im pretty sure the n64 is region locked. I also own the Virtual console copy on my wii, but its in english which is so significantly slower to run its not even worth it. I got the homebrew channel and the homebrew browser but thats pretty much useless for playing wads and stuff like that. I have the japanese wad of OOT but i cant for the life of me figure out how to actually play it on a wii... im pretty sure you use something called wad manager but i couldnt figure out how to install that cause all the tutorials i watched did a (for a lack of better words) terrible job of explaining it in general.

If someone could help me figure out how to play the japanese wad or maybe even change the language of the US copy i have (which i doubt), i would appreciate it a lot.

Thank you for your time, -Marthur
