The Lord Of The Rings: The Return Of The King Tie-In Game Gives Sam His Hero Moment
My most anticipated game for SGDQ last week was The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. I’ve not played the game since I was a kid, and while I still have it on GameCube, I’ve got some audio problems with the console that I need to fix before I can replay any of my childhood favourites. The SGDQ run was fairly straightforward, more about optimising levels and kicking arse than performing complex glitches or breaking the game as other speedrunners often do, and this helped to bring back my memories stronger than ever. I love all speedruns, especially at GDQ, but watching Linkus7 perform a thousand inputs a second to propel Link arse-first through the seas of The Wind Waker doesn’t really reflect how I played it.
