The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask
Best Speedruns AGDQ 2021
Yes, Majora’s Mask has been run at GDQ events a ton of times, but if you’re looking for something fresh and different, don’t miss out on ClaireLynnd’s run of the game this year.
A few new tricks for the Any% category have been discovered, allowing runners to beat the game insanely quickly. And yes, this run clocked in under 30 minutes, which is seriously impressive when you consider how long the previous runs were.
Claire makes use of a new glitch called stale reference manipulation, which allows her to mess with the game code to essentially skip the entire game. While that might not sound all that interesting or fun to watch, this run is still a fascinating showcase of how far Majora’s Mask speedruns have come and how players have discovered so many new ways to break the game.
