The way they did it was a bit confusing. They were playing Zelda, and then they cut the game off right as they walked through a door. Shortly after, Super Mario N64 popped up on the center of the screen. Twitch chat wondered if they were still playing Zelda and playing SM64 through the Zelda game. It wasn't clear what was going on, and they saved the explanation until the very end.

Yeah, I think the effect would have been better had they explained what was going on immediately rather than saving it until the end. Very cool tech, regardless :)
It helps that I've watched the previous 3 or 4 TAS blocks as well; the breaking out of a game and owning the system after a few moments of playing the game is a common and repeated theme.
