There were a lot of awesome runs at this year’s AGDQ, but the Ocarina of Time run stood out to me from a technical perspective. Runners have figured out a way to perform “arbitrary code execution” in the game, which allows them to essentially pass code from outside of the cartridge into the game. This allows for crazy things like manipulating the game to change which items can come from chests (or multiple items from the same chest), as well as pushing Twitch emote graphics into the game. Highly recommend checking it out because stuff like that is truly mindblowing!
From strictly a game perspective, I really enjoyed the Control run since I’ve been playing that recently. Super cool and stylish run to go with a super cool and stylish game.
Huge fan of Games Done Quick!

I love Ocarina of Time! Haven't had a chance to catch that VoD yet but I'll make sure to do that
