It finally happened! A New Website

It was around 2010 when maxx stepped up and said: Hey, let me go ahead and create a new, proper website for ZSR. From scratch. In Ruby. And it was good. For the time, the website was amazing, and it took years for other sites to move the needle further. At some point, speedrun.com came and changed the game...and ZSR stayed.

When dragonbane and me took over, ZSR changed, and it became the restreaming hub it is today. Since then, we have restreamed thousands of restreams, gained over 50k followers on Twitch, hosted charity marathons to be able to gather over 40k dollars to charity...and zeldaspeedruns.com stayed the same...for over 10 years.

That changes today, and we could not be more proud. So...

Welcome to zsr.gg!

It seems fitting that after all these years, we move to a new domain, a new website...a new ZSR. Focused on what made it great for the past 16 years: the abundance of knowledge that the community gathered over the years. The guides are still here, but prettier....and also easier to manage, to style, to improve. To find!

In addition: No more outdated leaderboards. We are syncing everything from SRC now, and the leaderboards are gonna be up2date whenever a new run or world record comes in.

In the next few weeks we will focus on adding more features, and we hope that you all will help us to make ZSR.GG better.

The old website and domain will remain online under new ownership. There will be no redirect from zeldaspeedruns.com, which is why we’ve already updated our links and resources across YouTube, Discord, and elsewhere.

Going forward, zsr.gg is the new community driven Zelda speedrunning resource number one!

We know this change will raise some eyebrows, so we want to be transparent: It takes time, motivation, and resources to build a new website like this...ESPECIALLY while maintaining all our content. By transferring the old domain to new ownership, we were able to create an opportunity that gave us the means to finally build a new home for ZSR. The old domain will remain online under its new ownership. For now, the existing archive remains available there, while its future operation is ultimately up to the new owner.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out.

Thank you for staying with us for all these years - and off to new shores!
