Glitch Evolution: The History of Superswimming in Zelda: The Wind Waker

Today, I dive into the history and evolution of the superswimming glitch in The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker (and HD). Speedrun history is often an interesting subject to look back on, especially when a single glitch evolves over time to look completely different than it did many years ago. I hope you enjoy!

OTHER NOTES
--------------------------------------------------------------------
- I mentioned that CGF95 discovered superswimming without a camera lock by just holding up, but this was actually used in some early 2012/2013 TAS videos, but wasn't well-known knowledge.

- Quality is only 720p because I did an oopsie and began the project in 720p (and realized this too late to want to redo everything).

- Huge shoutouts to TrogWW for explaining to me the different nuances of the Superswim Formula.

- General production criticism is welcome and appreciated.
