Submission Message	In the video I show startup and then show my console at the end and show me turning off the console. I also streamed the entire thing live with microphone and webcam so you can see and hear quite a bit of the gameplay on that. I have a raw video of only gameplay feed on my hard drive but it is 30 gigabytes so if anyone wants to see that I am going to put it on youtube in the future.

Hi Oliver,

Welcome to Twin Galaxies. :)

One of the requirements for all submissions here at Twin Galaxies is that the footage is directly uploaded to Twin Galaxies. You can do this in chunks of up to 5GB each and you can split your original up using many free editors. On the submission page you (as the submitter) will see an Add Video Evidence button which you can use for each of those chunks.

Welcome Oliver Kaur to Twin Galaxies.
Congratulations Oliver a new Twin Galaxies world record

Oliver Kaur you can private message Twin Galaxies staff select red @admin staff @SincerelyFranny

There is no need to tag admin staff or franny, unless the player has problems uploading their performance. In this case the player just need to upload his own video using the "additional evidence" button.

Over use of tags is one of the reasons why they often don't respond, and that affects all of us cause sometimes their help is really needed.

Yes it is 1:31:05 according to my splits and the end time I normally use. I read on the rules timing ends on the last arrow so that is why I timed it at 1:30:49.9

Also I am a bit new to TG so If I did anything wrong in the submission let me know and I will fix it. Also going to upload the raw footage to youtube tomorrow which will I will be able to rip and reupload on TG AND I will be able to embed it as well

Welcome to TG, Oliver!

Nothing wrong with your submission, just that little detail of needing to upload the video directly here. Looking foward to see it, and hopefully many more from you.

Juan, are you actually looking at the submission? The video has not been uploaded to TG yet. Also, your screen captures look bigger than ever.

Alright guys I uploaded the raw video file after reducing the file size. I originally uploaded this to Youtube as well if anyone is curious but it is the same video in the end. The video quality is not ideal for me as I had an issue with amarecTV recently and my filters weren't on at the time. I think also for this reason it is in 30 fps. Fortunately I did stream this so there is a 60 fps video of this run on the Internet somewhere. I am interested in either beating this or getting a 1:29 in TG timing. If anyone beats this I will definitely return.

Daniel I was going by the Twitch video link that was provided by Oliver Kaur, capture from my cell phone and zooming.

I don't know about the times on this one rather it's 1:31:05 or 1:30:49.9. I'm going to abstain to this submission.

Sorry for the confusion. Twin Galaxies times ALTTP runs when the last arrow hits Ganon and this run clocked in at 1:30:49.9 for that timing method. You can look at any of the vods they all have this.

I time runs differently and therefore unofficially the run was a 1:31:05 by my personal timing method. I have this listed in the title as I time all my runs like this. I uploaded and submitted it as a 1:30:49.9 though because that's how Twin Galaxies times ALTTP runs to my knowledge.

The final hit to Ganon occurs at 1:30:49.
Submissions leave off the milliseconds for speedruns unless the game displays it.

Unless we agree about leaving in the .9 on the submitted time, I'm abstaining for now.

Oliver you started the timer early before you named your file W, actually you lost a few seconds by doing that.

and ends when you deliver the final blow to Ganon.

You do NOT need to get every heart piece or item. You MUST complete the game or your record/attempt WILL be disqualified!

The Timer Started at when Player Pressed Start to begin the game, after naming the file W.

The game Started at start not after naming the file W which Twin Galaxies rules state.
It is clear the game TIMER STARTED at :27 seconds left on the video If you count the Milliseconds the submitted would be correct.

or the Twin Galaxies Rule
Special Rules:The Timer begins when you select the New File AFTER NAMING IT,then presses Start.

Amended TG rule
The Timer begins when a player presses start after naming a new file?

I am ADHD, do not hold it against me, ok. I did the best I can.

Ok so I understand this was submitted practically a year ago and lemme get this straight....

People are abstaining on a record of legit gameplay, no cheating of any sort all the way through, done live aswell. All cause the way time ends with TG's ruleset differs from Speedrun.com's method of end or Wqqqqwrts view of end and the fact that it ends in .9 which we don't do???? Why have the option for milliseconds under the submission process if its a problem?!?! Why cause it makes the record holder list of grandfather records look more unneat cause they didnt get access to milliseconds? cmon man. That's bullshit to the highest degree.

I'm blown away at how dumb all that sounds.
@wqqqqwrt You know me well my guy and I view gameplay down to a science. You got my vote of YES on this cause I know your skill level and dedication to this game and I watched the whole thing through.

I agree, a submission shouldn't be excluded or ignored because the submitter is providing a more exact measurment of the elapsed time. The difference in the rules between speedrun and TG could however be enough for a submissions to be rejected. I haven't reviewed this submission myself because I've been very busy lately and I don't have time to sit trough 1 and a half hours of gameplay. I barely have time to submit my own scores to the site.

Thats good in principle, but in practice it can lead to an inaccurate scoreboard. Lets say Person A's time was 1:30:49.4 and that's what was accepted and put on the scoreboard. Then person B comes along with a time of 1:30:49.8 except person B didnt record the milliseconds, so when it goes on the board it simply reads 1:30:49

This will put person B ahead of person A on the leaderboard, even though person A has a better time.


One potential solution to this is we all, along with the submitter, agree it should be 1:30:49 and he re-submits this performance with that time and asks everyone to vote no to this submission.
