Zelda speedrunner | The Minish Cap and Echoes of Wisdom (The cute ones)

Alright guys, we need to chat. Why is it that when looking into some new Archipelago world that is getting vibecoded, it's seemingly always a Speedrunner who is the "dev" for it? I know how much effort you are capable of putting in, what gives? "So I have more time to reset runs" isn't an excuse.

SRC changed their terms of use yesterday, and released a news post with an FAQ. They make it sound like not a big deal. It's a big deal. The Creative Commons licence is gone. They claim ownership over the data now. Thread about what this means, and what we can do about it 🧵

Comparison of the old src terms and the new src terms

Tomorrow I begin my new life with the woman I love ❤️ It's been a tough last 4 years, I've struggled to find my place, and every few months would get uprooted. That time is coming to an end, we can finally live together without the ticking clock of our next departure ripping us apart. (1/4)

We especially need more folks for host and interstitials! If either role interests you, please get your application in!

I truly hope the person who tried enforcing this isn’t in a position of power within that community cause that’s such a dogshit take and they should feel terrible for even typing it. Elitist takes like this do not belong within the realm of speedrunning. We’re here to CELEBRATE ALL runners.

This was a legit public (thankfully rejected) suggestion made in the Super Mario 3D World server & I'm sorry but this is the most elitist and horrible take I've ever heard! GDQ and ESA are public submission events so making so only the top 6 runners can submit is crazy! (1/4)

We’re still calculating our final donation amount, to include things like merch store sales, donation matches, and last-minute donations, but on-stream we reached over $22K!!  Thank you so much to our viewers, staff, guests, and our donors!! And that’s a wrap on Zelda dungeon marathon 2026! 💚
