You think Zelda Breath of the Wild is a big game? Well you'd be mistaken... The world record speedrun has the game wrapped up in under 30 minutes. 29 minutes and 4 seconds to be exact, by USA runner RasenUrns #speedrun #zelda #nintendo #retro

Think Zelda games have only been on Nintendo? Guess again! Speedrunner authorblues from the USA holds the world record for Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon at 29 minutes and 35 seconds, on the Philips CD-i console. That ending... #zelda #nintendo #speedrun #retro #retrogames

Puzzle Bobble became a very popular offshoot of the Bubble Bobble series, one that's probably more successful than the original games themselves! Japanese speedrunner brakeMg holds the world record time on the SNES version, blitzing the game in 54 minutes and 47 seconds #speedrun

Last week, Michael Lombardi from the USA made classic gaming history by beating the world record score on Mat Mania - a record that has stood for an astounding 33 years! The final score landing at 5,113,000 which took 8 hours to achieve #retro #retrogamer #retrogames #retrogaming

Using warps is cheating right? Well this week USA speedrunner GTAce99 didn't cheat his way to world record victory in Super Mario Bros, finishing warpless in 19 minutes and 2 seconds - each of those time splits saving just hundredths of seconds! #speedrun #nintendo #Mario #retro
