This run was made possible with the collaboritive help of the zelda 64 challenge community (discord: Discord: discord ).
A few special thanks:
Gigopler: spearheaded the challenge and created the route. This run would not exist otherwise
PushyMisumi: saved many difficult A presses, and inspired me to do challenging segments of this LOTAD
Ennopp112: completed the old route of 59 A presses in realtime (Zelda Majora's Mask Completed in only 59 A...) which was an invaluable resource
Thu Ox: edited the abridged version of this video for me
Note that there's a small timer glitch in the encode, but it corrects itself: "The timer jumped up at the end of the Great Bay speed up (47:05 in the video), and then corrected itself at the Ranch speed up (1:00:10). So the timer is correct for the rest of the run. It's just off for those thirteen minutes."

"is this useful?"
zfg: gives a detailed answer about how we make it useful because it's fun and interesting
glitchesandstuff: is art useful?
keeta: no
Some people eagerly await Halloween, to dress up and make everything spooky.
Some people eagerly await Valentines day, to have a date with their partner.
etc.
But the day that I wait all year for is February 21st.
haha yeah 10 years this must be the speedup I'm feeling, right
ZFG: „no dont say it chat“
Chat (probably): „An A Press is an A Press, you can’t say it‘s only a half“
Take a shot anytime somebody says “for the astute viewer.”
Take a shot anytime there is a fast forwarding edit.
Take a shot anytime Keeta says “I’ll explain it when it comes up.”
So many cool tricks used, long jump -> damage boost jumpslash to enter great bay both with the snowball and the jello enemies, woodfall without deku flowers was interesting too, and the rare low% path to snowhead cross, which is too degenerate even for rando. And like all 2020's runs of Majora, this is also a remote hookshot showcase! Loved to see an application of the back-hookshot to get up on the chest, a Pushy special!
