One of the annual highlights in the speedrunning calendar is already underway to get 2017 off to a rocking start. Awesome Games Done Quick 2017 (AGDQ) has started, with days of impressive gaming lined up.
The first 24 hours have some neat Nintendo titles include - at the time of publication The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D is almost ready to go. Other early highlights include Shovel Knight, Mega Man and Super Mario Kart. You can check out the full schedule right here.
You can see it all unfold below:
We encourage you to visit the official site, of course, where you can donate and enter into draws for cool prizes. The stream is off to a good start and raises huge amounts every year, so here's hoping for another successful week.

I browsed through the schedule and there are some weird omissions.
No Super Mario World? No Super Mario 64? Not even Super Mario Maker? I thought those where classics.
I've been watching GDQ's for years and I must say all the runners and commentators do everything they can to put on a great show, I encourage everyone to watch a couple runs if you have the time. Also the Yetee is selling multiple video game T-shirts for those interested.
Aww.. I thought this was going to be like how I create AGameAWeek..
It's not.
@Mega_Yarn_Poochy They mix it up to make sure it isn't the same stuff every year... Super Dram World is being run, which is a SMW hack... SMB1 and SMB Lost Levels are being raced... Sunshine is being raced, Galaxy 2 is being run, the DK Country trilogy is being raced, etc... should be a great event.
Surely gonna check some runs, Games Done Quick is a very enternaining event for say the least.
@Mega_Yarn_Poochy Really? No Mario Maker? That's a shame, last year race was amazing! Then again it was made in summer, maybe they are saving those classics runs for the next Summer AGDQ.
Ocarina of Time 3D is interesting. I never knew the game had so many glitches and tricks that aren't in the original Ocarina of Time.
I think this is a great event. Thanks for posting the live feed.
Kudos to the gamers and all those who donate. There's still a lot of good people out there.
Hey, how did Link get larger sized clothes while in stasis?
@KoopaTheGamer Me too neither. And some of them are pretty cool.
@Ichiyama How did his ears get pierced?
@amiiboacid Another good question. Maybe Rauru got bored.
And maybe we should just leave that there (I know I started it, but you know...).
The OOT:3D was awesome! Love AGDQ <3
At least they're playing games wrong for a good cause?
@Solid_Stannis It's not a wrong way to them. As long as they have fun or have a feeling of accomplishment, I see no problem in speedrunning. Games can be enjoyed in many ways.
1 thumb up for the good cause which is definitely worrth it even if there are people who regard speedrun gamers as pointless (in worse cases as worthless), 1 thumb up for the idea and 1 thumb up as the respect I hold for those players. Seriously I have hard time finishing games in normal mode, can't imagine doing it in a speedrun lol
