Lord Tom shows off his incredible TAS of the "Swordless" challenge from the Legend of Zelda.

The Legend of Zelda is a first-party title originally developed and released for the Famicom Disk System on February 21, 1986 and served as one of the add-on's launch titles. It would later see a release in North America for the NES (Nintendo Entertainment System) on August 22, 1987, and was one of the first cartridge-based video games to feature a battery backup save system. To this day, it is widely regarded as one of the most influential and important video games of all time, thanks to its revolutionary gameplay and open-world design philosophy.

The "Swordless" challenge involves the player trying to beat as much of the game as possible without grabbing the sword, with them being required to pick it up after all 8 Triforce pieces are collected in order to defeat Ganon. This video is a TAS (Tool-Assisted Speedrun) created by Lord Tom for the challenge. Which contains plenty of tricks that break the game apart, such as glitch abuse and manipulation.
