Change in Speedrun plans.

For a few weeks now I've been learning, and practicing the Majora's Mask any% route. I figured it would be a fun addition to my stream. However, practicing the route and tricks, I am deciding to put it off for a while. I have no time in mind for when I might want to come back and do more of it.

Practicing MM, I came to realize that I gained a lot of skill in the last 3 years because I was depressed, and insecure. Let me explain: I desperately clung to speedrunning as my distraction from my depression. Also, as a streamer, I felt that I needed to put on the best show possible, and would practice nearly 3-5 hours each day so that I could be better because I didn't feel like I was a good streamer unless I was the fastest. It was a really painful time for me.

BUT, now I'm not facing those issues. The 3D Zelda games are, in my opinion, unforgiving speedgames. So much rides on getting on trick, or not wasting explosives, etc. If you're a Zelda speedrunner, you know what I mean. I don't want to subject myself to the frustration of optimizing my execution, and shooting in the dark to become more consistent. Sorry if I got your hopes up.

As for what is to come, I'll be chilling with Master Quest for a while. I've also had a lot of fun just doing the various OoT challenges. I want to play more Metroid Prime as well! I, honestly, completely forgot about that game. So there will still be good variety!

Thanks for reading. Look forward to seeing you in ze stream!
