a player of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time used in method to defeat Ganondorfsurely very unexpected by the evil boss and the fans, it is about the princess of the zora called route.
Ocarina of Time has long been a favorite of the speedrunning and marathon communities. It can be hacked, modded, and exploited in a thousand different ways, offering players shortcuts or just plain silliness that breathe new life into the Nintendo 64 classic.
Ocarina of Time was originally released in 1998. It was an instant hit with fans and critics alike. Since then, it has become a cornerstone of the speedrunning world, with speedrunners all over the world constantly trying to find new and mind-bogglingly creative ways to shave precious fractions of a second off their times in the hope of breaking world records.
As a side effect, tons of mods have been developed and bugs have been discovered and exploited, all to be used as potential speedrunning tools.
“Ruto-as-a-weapon” is the brainchild of a Zelda speedrunner and gamer named Viday James. Vidya James is a member of the Zeldathon community, a collective of gamers who raise money for charity by playing various installments of the Zelda franchise, often in creative ways.
It is well known in the world of Zelda speedrunning that Princess Ruto has a ‘hitbox’ that can damage enemies when thrown. When Link finds her in the belly of Lord Jabu-Jabu, a large whale-like animal that acts as a small dungeon to explore, filled with puzzles and enemies, Ruto refuses to be saved unless Link carries her.
She sits with her knees to her chest. Link can then pick it up and throw it as a weapon. This led Vidya James to wonder if he could defeat Ganandorf, the game’s final boss, using only Ruto. Well it turns out yes.
