Thirteen years after a record was set within a five-minute demo hidden inside Super Smash Bros. Brawl, a speedrunner named Savestate broke it on August 21, 2021, completing a version of Ocarina of Time in 4 minutes and 51 seconds. The achievement speaks to something enduring in human nature — the impulse to find the seams in any system, however small or forgotten, and pull them apart with care. Even the most overlooked corners of our created worlds, it turns out, still hold secrets worth pursuing.
