First Ocarina of Time run to be made public on digital video I believe, in late March 2004, and published April 21 2004 on SDA.
The run was originally distributed in 11 parts, but I have combined them into one video here.

Done by Mike 'TSA' Damiani

Note that this run was discovered to be spliced: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZlzocshpIlI

No ads on these videos as I only upload them for archiving purposes. Can't have these runs backed up enough.

It's here! Finally, you guys can watch it. Anyway, let's get some stuff out of the way. There is discontinuity in this run that probably nobody would notice, and even though it has zero effect on gameplay or time, I felt the need to still mention it. I "magically" have the Deku Nut icon in my sub menu somewhere through the run, but it reads as zero. How did I get them, and how did I dispose of them? I start/stop record my runs cuz these raw files use up a ton of memory, and I don't have the greatest hard drive in the world. So I have to conserve memory, and I break up files and send then as I do runs, and delete them after they are sent. Thus, it is a real one time run, but I interrupt recording, and we don't factor in the time to change to a new file. Anyway, about the nuts - I accidentally swang my sword in the Lost Woods before going to Goron City, and the bush gave me Deku Nuts. I exposed of them ASAP, and continued on. You will notice I nowhere before that time use them, and I in no way benefitted. So, I just wanted to explain that to you all. (Ed note: this is why the time was rounded up to 5:25 instead of down to 5:24)

This STILL isn't the fastest run I could do, but it is pretty much the fastest route you can do. I mentally forgot to do four things I was suppose to in terms of shortcuts, and I lost about 4 mins thanks to them. I also made about five minutes worth of mistakes, so I think I can get at least 10 mins faster, or around 5:14. I mean, if I could use glitches, I could get sub 5 hours. If I was flawless, I could get close to 5 hours. Either way, with my four tricks I forgot (which I am sure most of you will decipher what they are when you're like "why didn't he do this here?" at certain spots) this is the fastest route. I'll help you out. Three of the tricks involve Farore's Wind, one involves a fighting decision. Again, I won't address the "Hyrule Field" issue of "hopping" vs "rolling". It's a very minor issue, it has very little effect on the run, we're talking about mere seconds you might save overall.

This run is not flawless, so please enjoy yourselves and laugh at a few of my stupid mistakes (like jumping into a pit in the Shadow Temple). These mistakes each cost me seconds at most, but they added up in the end. There is about one mistake per segment you will notice. Remember, this is a five hour run. Your mind wanders eventually. I hope many of you learn the best fighting technique is, of course; Deku Sticks as Young Link, and the quick spin attack as Adult Link. In case you can't figure out from the video, if you execute it on every boss from Morpha on, you can keep hitting them until they die in one series of attacks. No BS. I get close on some, but I am only flawless on Phantom Ganon and Volvagia. I missed some spin attacks on Morhpa, but I had him cornered so he didn't escape, and I blew some chances on Twinrova, Bongo Bongo, and Ganondorf. I say they're not perfect, but most of you are going to go "holy crap, how did he do that?" That was my intent. Either way, this run is going to amaze pretty much everybody. I know people can beat this time now that they will see the best run, but I'm quite happy that I've pretty much come up with the fastest route and techniques, so I know they'll pretty much be credited to my strategy.
