" Statements made by Zfg, alongside Kentucky-based speedrunner Toufool, were notable as both were renowned within Ocarina of Time's speedrunning community. Writing about Ocarina of Time's emulation and input lag, he stated that the game "on Switch is so bad it might be worse than. In October 2021, Zfg's comments about the inclusion of Nintendo 64 games under the Nintendo Switch Online service garnered attention. Zfg has run Ocarina of Time at Awesome Games Done Quick (AGDQ) several times. At the end of 2020, he completed a run of Ocarina of Time in the 100% (SRM) category with a time of 3 hours, 12 minutes and 55 seconds. In 2020, after a break from running the 100% category, Zfg took back the world record for it with a time of 3:43:44, fourteen seconds faster than the previous record. On its live debut, the run finished nearly 15 minutes faster than his then-current record of 3:53:33. In 2019, Zfg produced and released a TAS of Ocarina of Time which showcased what a humanly-perfect run of the 100% completion category would be. Randomised runs can change where doors and exits lead and where items are located. That same year, he also completed randomised 100% runs Ocarina of Time using a modified version of the original game that unpredictably adjusts variables and create special world-states. It was put together to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the game and featured techniques and mechanics known to speedrunners of the game. In 2018, Zfg helped construct a list of lesser-known secrets in Ocarina of Time for IGN. Another runner, TaylorTotFTW created the run using tool-assisted speedrun (TAS) software. That same year, he also co-commentated on the first "All Dungeon, No Doors" run of Ocarina of Time beating the game and its dungeons without opening any doors. In 2017, Zfg was one of the first players to record a successful attempt at a glitch in Ocarina of Time that would allow players to equip items they normally could not use. He and other runners (including Narcissa Wright) continued to lower the record time with constant improvements to the Ganondoor route. His record was timed at 34:59 (mm:ss), cutting almost 12 minutes off from the previous record. The exploit allows players to teleport from the first dungeon to the last, skipping most of the game. In 2012, Zfg (then-known as ZeldaFreakGlitcha) was the first to use the "Ganondoor" exploit to set a world record in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time under any completion percent. He currently holds the record in the 100% SRM category with a time of 3 hours, 0 minutes, and 39 seconds, as of December 2022. He was the first person to complete Ocarina of Time to 100% in under four hours. He has held various records in speedrunning the game and its alternative version Master Quest, most notably the 100% completion category for the original game, for which he had held the record since mid-2015. Zfg (stylised as ZFG and zfg, previously known as ZeldaFreakGlitcha) is an American speedrunner and streamer known for his The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time gameplay.
