Why Majora's Mask's Blue Dog Took 25 Years to Win the Race

Blue dog appears to be unable to win the race, but it's not as impossible as most claim.

Amazing video!! Thank you again for bringing attention to the challenge with your initial video. I had a blast working on this project and I've learned many things. It took about a week of work.

At first, I thought this would be an extremely rare event. So my initial ambitious idea was to keep only the bare-bone logic of the dog race and run simulations in parallel on my GPU. I experimented with the recompilation project that came out around the same time, but I got overwhelmed quickly. So I went with the other, much slower idea that I had (Bizhawk simulations). I was happy and surprised that it only took three days to get a result. Sometimes, it's better to keep things simple.

If anyone is interested, all the code that I wrote for this project is available on my github. Blue dog is an inspiration for us all.

Blue Dog: "I looked into 1, 083, 414, 090, 350, 592 possible universes."
"And in how many of them did you win?"
Blue Dog: "Two."

Now to find the race where the blue dog should have won but lost due to the glitch.

"Why don't you give up?"
Me having flashes of Blue Dog: Because he never did.

I had no idea that blue dog even existed before clicking this video but I was so pumped to see him lock in at the end

You could say it happens, once in a blue moon

The possibility of a kid randomly winning the race with the blue dog and not thinking much about it is infinite.

As it turned out...

He may have always had that dog in him...

Blue Dog: 'Was I a good dog?'
Falkush: 'No. You were the best.'

I had a friend in high school who insisted that he had the blue dog win. I'm sorry I didn't believe you, Matthew.

Every dog has his day!

For the blue dog it's once every 30, 000 attempts with perfect conditions
