(After putting it off for a few years), this weekend, I picked up my Zelda: Majora's Mask game and beat the final boss. The special thing about this run of the game was:
-3 hearts
-1 bottle
-no weapons upgrades
-only the ABSOLUTELY necessary masks to get through game events: Deku, Goron, Zora, Gibdo, Garo, Captain's Hat

that means no giant's mask (makes the Twinmold battle pretty hard), no stone mask (makes the pirate's fortress pretty hard), no bunny hood (makes the Ikana skeleton battle pretty hard), and of course no Fierce Deity mask (which, combined with the 3 hearts & 1 bottle, made the final boss so hard that I gave up on the game for years)

YAY! I HAVE NO LIFE!

Right as I deliver the final blow:

I'm feeling a bit skeptical, then again there are people who do this.

How many times did you die? That screenshot seems too highquality to be taken with a digital camera and a tv, did you emulate?

I decided to record video of the final battle on a PCI TV-Capture card, since my brother was asleep and wanted to see it.

I forget how many times I died, since MM is a Zelda game with no death-counter.

Speaking of which, I once defeated Link to the Past without dying; and saving in that game counts as dying. (I left the system on overnight on pause a few times.)

Man... I'd love to try and beat MM with that criteria. I don't own it though Mebbe I can go get a cheap copy at GS or something.... >.>

Well, at least you did something that is fairly difficult. You could have been playing online poker the entire time. Really, though, I guess I should congratulate you on such a difficult feat. Finishing the game once with all the masks was enough for me...

I never finished MM because I got fed up when I had to play through the pirates fortress for thr 6th consecutive time after saving confusions and power outages sent me back in time over and over. =o=

That's impressive though. Very nice job.

Wow, I'm impressed...<mutters, "why torture yourself?"> ...but I am still impressed!

Wow! That is impressive. Why did you want to do that though... because you wanted to complete the challenge?

I've never even beaten it normally. o_o

You should upload that video to Youtube.

It says the videos are private, dude :/ Can't watch 'em.

Dude! I couldn't beat it normally. You should get a medal or something. I got frustrated and bored with it and quit when I had to do something with catching bugs in a jar and bringing it back to a redead. I had one jar. >_<

Yeah, it says it's private so we can't access unless you say we can or something. o.O

Crap, I thought that just meant it wouldn't show up in searches.
*makes public*

(accidental double post)

XD Now I believe you! Awesome job

The Winner Is YOU!!!!

Majora's Mask always was my favorite, because of the weird story and mask thingies... I never got to do much in the game, because I never owned the game myself, though.

Also interesting:
Videos of some people's speed runs

They use some glitches/tricks in the interest of time, like using a bomb to blow Link over a fence without using a horse.

Woaaaah! o.o You're the man! That was awesome *checks out those other videos*

Btw, nice suspense buildup at the end XD I almost thought you wouldn't make it.

I haven't even beaten the game before, but that was incredible.

And yeah, I thought you were a goner, too.

One question: why did you keep switching between the Zora mask and Link when you attacked in the third round (I haven't gotten that far in the game, so I'm not sure...)?

Because when ZoraLink uses the boomerangs, his shield is disabled. Switching back & forth to the Zora form makes his fins reappear, allowing shielding & still having the boomerangs in the air.

Yep. That's some smart playing right there ^^ I need to try that, it was always annoying waiting for the fins to reappear.

XD its more or less a little trick though. A glitch if you will

Ooh, okay, that's cool. Heh, glitches can be fun, ne?

I am impressed.

That's looks difficult, try this though.

Legend of Zelda OOT: Master quest with the same limitations.

The dungeons in that game are SO freaken hard. The hardest was totally dodogos cavern. I was stuck in that for HOURS. No lie

I only died once in that game though XD And that was in the deku tree. Stupid 3 hearts...

If I ever get a copy of that. I will take you up on it.

I did beat Mortal Kombat 3 on the Genesis with no TV, just a headset... I was proud about that...sorry no recording obviously lol
