The Linux based, R.O.B.-adjacent hardware implements controller inputs faster than any human could, to simply rewrite code into the game, allowing it to open up aforementioned debug and beta features. Rather, the entire process was executed by the help of the returning and revised TASbot ( Tool Assisted Speedrun ro bot). But this was different what was accomplished here was access to these menu’s without the assistance of third party accessories.

With the assistance of notorious speedrunner ‘Savestate’, the presenters were able to showcase the plethora of Zelda OoT Beta content, including an inventory debug modifier that can also be accessed through an N64 gameshark/gamegenie, allowing Savestate to simply execute in-game binary to stock his items and health at anytime. Presenters ‘dwangoAC’ and ‘Sauraen’ stressed that everything that was shown in the run was off an unmodified Nintendo64 and a completely stock retail copy of Zelda OoT. From the Starwing making a cameo, to actually beating the running man, these were just merely small Beta features that had been left on the cutting room floor by Nintendo themselves, but kept within the game. After 23 years, and thanks to some arbitrary code that reprogrammed the title, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time was unlocked and presented some incredible assets that were previously impossible to access before implementation of code that essentially overwrites the game’s memory system.

But outside of the event’s conventional speedruns, one showcase has Zelda fans completely shocked and amazed.
