Since 2004 I dreamed of beating TSA's time in ALTTP. At the beginning I wasn't even near to beat him, which pushed me to create a new category: 100%.

A couple of years passed, the route had been maximized in the TAS and it permitted me to create a segmented run of ALTTP... even though all I was doing was create a new category.

I decided it was finally the time to beat TSA's run, after 5 years and 4 different runs, 3 from TSA. It took a while, it took hours and patience from both me and my girlfriend who watched me swear at the game every evening except one.

You can now watch part of this evening by looking up to this run.

100% Single-segment 2:00:01 by Philippe Brisson.

Quality note: a problem with the runner's sound setup results in the right channel being on both channels of the videos. Sounds that originate on the left sides of rooms are very faint.

I've finally done Zelda ALTTP 100% SS in less than 2 hours!

Things you need to know:

* The game is in French, but it still stays interesting to watch!
* Because the game is in French, the texts are longer. There are 20 more seconds of text only with the unskipables texts (Zelda, the 7 girls, Link's uncle, etc). In a 100% run, the text is surely near 30 seconds longer. This means my 2:00:01 run would actually be something like 1:59:3x if it was in English.
* 2 years and 13 days have passed since my 2:02:34 run... Since then, Madzombie have tried to beat me but never achieved to. I still though he would get sub 2 hours before me... I'm glad I was wrong (if we consider the difference between English and French version).
* Thanks anyway to Madzombie for finding a new dark world route so it was now possible to achieve a run of less than 2 hours!
* The main changes for this run compared to the last one is the dark world route. Beside this, some room routes have changed and my running skills have gotten better. these 3 things brought me to a beautiful new run!
* My biggest mistake was in the 2nd dungeon of dark world. I almost felt asleep on my chair, forgot where to go for about 15 secs. That's what I could call the big and only considerable mistake in 2 hours.
* My random heart pieces:

1. Digging game on the first try (Now this always means for me that this run is my chance to get a new record)

2. Chest game on the 4th try... (Isn't that bad when you know that I can try over 20 times in some runs)

I didn't get as lucky as on my 2:02 run (both on the first try), but it just makes me more human ;)
* I'm currently working on an any% run with save warps, I expect sub-1:34.
