List of commentated Zelda speedruns

This is a list of some of my favorite commentated Zelda speedruns. I initially planned to put all of this in the description of my No Wrong Warp commentary (https://youtu.be/CVDYW9Sicjo), but apparently YouTube descriptions have a character limit so some runs had to be omitted.

Ocarina of Time - Low% MST in 3:12:13 by zfg (July 2017)
https://youtu.be/tE7IyTdM3Jk
After bakeneko singlehandedly revived the longer Low% categories (AD, MST and RDO), zfg decided to pick up Low% MST and make a post-commentary for it. This commentary is undoubtedly the best introduction to OoT Low%, and goes into great detail about its definition, limitations, routing and tricks. This video is especially fun to watch if you've already seen a lot of OoT speedruns, because it contains a lot of unique glitches that you've probably never seen before.

Ocarina of Time - Any% in 18:10 by Cosmo (July 2014)
https://youtu.be/1rM8kU8qDFA
This is one of the best OoT speedruns of all time, and also one of the best post-commentaries of all time. Not only does it explain all the tricks, but also goes into the history of OoT speedrunning. It remains noob-friendly while also conveying how amazing the run is. This is Cosmo's magnum opus.

The Evolution of Glitchless Speedruns in Ocarina of Time by dannyb21892 (August 2017)
https://youtu.be/2ebZ94KGlVw
Glitchless/Bug Limit doesn't have that many tricks, so a full commentated run wouldn't work very well for it (it's over 3 hours long). This 18 minute video fully covers the category's history and explains its tricks, which means it has all the information you could want out of a post-commentary.

Ocarina of Time - 100% in 3 Pauses in 7:25:19 by Venick and cafde (February 2016)
https://youtu.be/01J-0suWISk?t=14m55s
This is a LOTAD (Low Optimization Tool Assisted Demonstration, basically a non-optimized TAS), made and commentated by Venick and cafde, and co-commentated by Keeta and zfg. It's pretty great, but don't watch the full 7 hours. I think this conversation at the very end of the run describes it best:
Keeta: "I would say, like, the first 3 hours were really entertaining. Something happened in between then and right now, but..."
zfg: "We don't need to talk about it."
(This is "part 2" of the series of low pause Zelda LOTADs.)

Ocarina of Time - All Dungeons in 2 Pauses in 2:34:14 by Dungeonfire, mubbsy and jmarvin (November 2017)
https://youtu.be/Z8RB19_vCWU
https://www.twitch.tv/videos/204303826 (watch on Twitch for chat replay)
This is another LOTAD, made and commentated by Dungeonfire, mubbsy and jmarvin, and co-commentated by Keeta and zfg. For those who just can't get enough of these low pause challenges (like me).
(This is "part 3" of the series of low pause Zelda LOTADs.)


Wanna watch more commentated speedruns of other Zelda games?

ZSR Marathon 2017
This was an event organised by zeldaspeedruns.com in August 2017. It contains 30 live-commentated speedruns from a ton of different Zelda games (including the CDI games). There is a YouTube playlist for it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zksRE66xHH4&list=PLoBQgkYcUe0X6FDCWkSzI0ouiZnFCPaDb

ZSR Marathon 2018
That's right, ZSR also hosted an event in April 2018, this time containing 28 different runs. YouTube playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLoBQgkYcUe0UT1teIn-TRZNfOuSc-PR4h

Here's a few other Zelda speedrun commentaries that I like:

Majora's Mask - All Fairy Rewards, No Human in Dungeons in 2:29:50 by Keeta (February 2018)
https://youtu.be/KkMe1VUJUEc
This is a LOTAD (Low Optimization Tool Assisted Demonstration, basically a non-optimized TAS) made and commentated by Keeta. This video is a well-balanced mix of complex glitch explanations and light-hearted jokes. It's a lot like his MM 2 Pause commentary in that sense, but with much more effort put into it. One of my favorite commentaries ever.

Majora's Mask in 2 Pauses in 2:54:38 by Keeta (February 2015)
https://youtu.be/KaDflIPG3f4
This is a LOTAD (Low Optimization Tool Assisted Demonstration, basically a non-optimized TAS) made and commentated by Keeta, where he beats Majora's Mask using only 2 pauses. This run's glitches are insane and unique, and Keeta's hilarious commentary makes this video an all-time classic.
(This is "part 1" of the series of low pause Zelda LOTADs.)

Ocarina of Time 3D - All Dungeons in 1:57:23 by benstephens56 (live commentated at AGDQ 2017)
https://youtu.be/EkSx2_L4Uug
If you've seen a lot of OoT speedruns, but you're unfamiliar with OoT3D speedrunning (or you've only seen any%), this will be a really entertaining run for you. It contains tons of insane glitches that don't exist in OoT, on-the-fly routing, and benstephens' enthusiastic commentary keeps it entertaining for its entire length.

Majora's Mask - Low% TAS in 1:54:42 by Eumeus and omgatree6 (October 2017)
https://youtu.be/hs_1Z-ia3YI or
https://www.twitch.tv/videos/184037542 (watch on Twitch for chat replay)
This is a TAS made and commentated by Eumeus and omgatree6, and co-commentated by zfg. This TAS has insane glitches, it's well optimized and it's filled to the brim with swag strats (since MM's time system forces you to wait a lot).

Skyward Sword - Any% in 4:59:41 by gymnast86 (March 2017)
https://youtu.be/cU2O7yWZRBo
This is a post-commentated world record by gymnast86, who's made many great videos explaining glitches in 3D Zelda games. Honestly, I haven't watched this one, because I haven't played SS yet and I don't want any spoilers, but I'm sure it's good.

The Wind Waker HD - All Dungeons in 2:48:28 by gymnast86 (May 2017)
https://youtu.be/1Bpw2CHaLsM
This is another post-commentary by gymnast86. Undoubtedly the best introduction to TWWHD speedrunning. The route and glitches are explained really well, and especially item sliding keeps the run very flashy from the moment gymnast obtains the grappling hook.
