  I swear speedrunning documentaries are one of the best things in YouTube.

  You should do videos like these more often! Pointing out current frustrating problems in the speed running communities could lead to natural puzzle solvers getting involved and finding out they love speed running. Not to mention it's just good content!

  “The Sandship is like an onion.” “It stinks?” “Ye- NO”

  Only the speedrunning community would be mad at devs that DIDN'T leave in a huge glitch 😂

  What if this means Sandship was the first dungeon they finalized, and later, they figured out how to handle loading based more on location than layers?<br>EDIT: To expand on why this might be, layers are like a very... Easy to code, but clunky method. So, as they developed the game, they later added a &quot;smarter&quot; method based on rooms, to manage lag. However, because the ship is compact, and restricted, changing layers worked well enough, and only some late additions used the newer &quot;room loading&quot; method

  A compilation of the numerous instances in Skyward Sword that show skips that would be possible if Link could jump just a little bit farther would be hilarious, in a sad sort of way.

  Sounds to me like the same situation OoT has for Jabu. Whoever designed this dungeon knew exactly what was going on.

  But first, we need to talk about back-in-time warps.
