my favorite thing about speedrunning is that if you knew nothing about it, you'd assume that most of the glitches and tricks were discovered by programmers with disassemblers tearing apart the ROMs, since we have that power now. nah. it's like 1%, if that. other than the fucked up "replace the item donkey kong is holding with whatever he last bumped into" shit, almost everything else is "well i was on my fortieth run that day and i accidentally hit B in the middle of a jump and passed through a wall. then we all got on the discord and watched the VOD over and over while screaming until someone managed to replicate it"

all the best glitches are the ones that were found because someone with a deep passion for a 20 year old game decided to turn it on one day and jump into a corner until they go through

i am certainly not only saying this because that's the only way i know how to do it and i remain very salty that it's no longer possible to keep up with zelda 64 glitches without a compsci degree

My favourite one of these is in Ocarina of Time, you can get King Zora to give you the eyeball frog during the "have the Zora's tunic" dialogue by just holding R while having any other trade item. Which is more or less how it was discovered.

OoT speedrunning is so oriented around the shield, hitting R is just instinctive behaviour - still wasn't found til like 2012.

Once before at European Speedrun Assembly, I left my headphones plugged into one of the PCs being used for practice runs at the event. Later, while someone else was on practicing a Star Trek game (I forget which one) I passed by and was all "hey I'm gonna need those back" and unplugged my headphones. This caused the currently playing cutscene to skip the otherwise unskippable line of dialog that was playing, and it turned out with more experimentation that yeah, you could skip through dialog faster by disconnecting and reconnecting the speakers/headphones. I think that might still be a legit strat
