This is a theoretical speedrun made using my best segments to show what it would take to get sub 23 using the current strats. It's also a fully commentated run so if you've ever wondered why we do something in the run this will likely answer those questions, but if it doesn't then feel free to ask in the comments!
Great vid! I feel like a lot of commentated runs focus on PBs or TAS, so seeing a segmented SoB run is super impressive, demonstrating the fastest route and the human viable strategies, but not focusing on tricks that aren't possible RTA.
It’s kinda crazy to think on how good player 5 is considering he took his own world record back after a month after he returned from a 10 month absence of BotW speedrunning. Player 5 reminds me so much of GreenSuigi in the Super Mario 64 speedrunning community, both truly are the Goats of speedrunning their respective Nintendo game. Can’t wait for you to break the 23 minute barrier Player 5
as an italian i can confirm that the italian old man's voice is the best i've ever heard. I want to thank you man for your excellent job, you are the one who got me into speedruns, i love your content, keep going.
I kinda wonder though. If you get like a thousand bomb arrows and do the constant explosion flying thing until ur close enough, would the shield break?
Story time: My first time doing the final fight, I did so by accident while exploring the castle, and I had to fight thunderblight without Urbosa giving me directions. This resulted in me never figuring out that you're supposed to use magnesis on the metal poles to stun the blight and punish, so instead I'd climb the nearby stairway and do a jumping attack to break the shield, to then shoot it with arrows until the shield came back. I repeated this til the blight died, which is something I believe could not be done in the Divine beast arena, as the terrain is different By the same coin, I'd bet that the same goes for fireblight, in that you could use bomb arrows at the castle fight, and not at the Divine beast fight, to make it drop the shield.
@@fernando47180 Yeah most likely it was a legitimate fun fact, it just also makes for a great troll. Anyway, I'm not sure you're right that that Thunderblight strat wouldn't work in Naboris, because that arena can change somewhat depending on how you have the cylinder sections rotated. The control terminal obviously has to be right side up to trigger the fight, but maybe there's an orientation which would put a platform close enough to him to jump attack. I haven't tested it so it may well be impossible, but it's an interesting question.
This video was so interesting. I’ve seen a lot of tricks in speedrun that I didn’t understand so it was cool to learn them. Also, I love how subtle your jokes are. There were a couple jokes where I didn’t even realize it was a joke until like 15 seconds later lmao
I've watched a number of these speedruns (mostly by you). But to hear the thoughts and strats and glitches (and purpose/how-tos) was very helpful! Thanks for doing this!
I don't often watch the streams and always watch the runs on UA-cam. Loving the all dungeons run and main quests runs you're currently doing. Keep up the grinds and gl on your world records.
It’s kinda crazy to think on how good player 5 is considering he took his own world record back after a monthafter he returned from a 10 month absence of BotW speedrunning. Can’t wait for you to break the 23 minute barrier
Great video man! Super informative, I love the pace you talked at and how you managed to play the whole run in real time without any long breaks or cramped commentary :) And ofc, gg again on the 23:23!
Kinda funny to hear you mention the old man in Italian since I recently started a playthrough in Italian so that I can learn the language more quickly. When I heard that paraglide shout he does, I was really thrown off guard! Italy knows how to handle dubs!
I swear that some day they are going to find a way to skip great plateau, it’s like barrier skip in wind waker, it took so long but they Medea it, the day they make it I’m doing a speedrun, and I don’t care how long it is at the end, because seeing this dude make a world record is all I need to be happy
you shouldve seen my live reaction like an hr ago to watching your 23:23 speedrun with 0 prior knowledge of botw speedrun or really most speedruns in general.... the blss shit literally made my eyes pop out of my head.... ill have to try to see if i can do the wind bomb stuff even once!!! great job on everything, super cool stuff :3
5:26 Translation : Old man: I see that you have successfully found a spirit orb... Before everything, let me congratulate you. Link: And my glider? Old man: One second please. I said "before everything" I think! So wait for the rest! You know, these towers who came out of the ground, these shrines who lighten up again... All of this is thanks to the sheikah slate that you wear on your belt. Link : How so? Old man : Sheikah slate... It has been so long that I've not said these words that I almost forgot them... Long ago these lands were inhabited by the great sheikah civilisation. Some tell that their wisdom and their power have, at several times, pulled these lands out of the crisis they've been through. It seems that they disappeared a long time ago. But these shrines contain maybe some evidence of their presence... Hear what I'll say. You will find shrines like this one on the whole territory. Just on the Plateau, theres still 3 who awaits you. Give me the spirit orb of each of these shrines, and I'll give you my glider. Link: And our agreement?! Old man : I never said that I'll be satisfied of only one treasure! And 1 or 4, it's basically the same thing! Come to see, I will show you a trick to find these shrines! And not only the shrines! Anything you search for, it's always a good idea of seeing around us from a high point. Hmm...(We'll see) What would you think of climbing this tower again? Link: here we go! Old man: Calm down, my boy! Let me show you something first... Look at the map on your sheikah slate. You see these blue symbols on the tower and on the shrine you came from? Apparently, the power of the sheikah slate, lets you teleport to these precise places. It's something that I've heard a long time ago... I can't assure you that it's the truth!
The irony is, new minute barriers are rarely, if ever, broken because of absolute perfect optimization like this. Every minute barrier break I’ve seen is extremely optimized but never perfect, just using newer and newer strats that chip away at the barrier until it finally falls.
Differences between WR and SOB : Shrine loads, Amiibo rng, world loads, atk up claymore, perfect windbomb landings This honestly doesn't look very different from your pb Also nice Player 5 channel logo hiding the final time
It's the same route so it should look the same other than faster execution/RNG on everything. Also my pb did get the attack up claymore I just didn't get instant laser which is a bigger time loss. And thanks for pointing that out I moved the logo at the end.
It seems to me that you are only getting voided out if you Touch the ground. What if you would stay in the air during the ganon fight with blss for example.
Quick question, why do you have to shield clip twice (once to get inside, another one to get into the portal) on Bombs and Mag but only once on Stasis? Like, why can't you crouch into the portal on Bombs and Mag?

Because it's faster
now try to speedrun just like that >:)
Beautiful thumbnail
Its so strange to watch you blss without hearing your controller joystick hitting over and over
Thank you for the suggestion of trying bomb arrows in rudania. I will definitely go try that, and surely will have an explosively good time
Yeah when I first learned about it I had my mind blown
@@Player5SR Doing speed run commentary AND dropping bombing knowledge. You are on fire!
My mind (and my face) are blown away
5:55 (He is also the one with the NO AMIIBO Any% world record)
I think he has every WR category of this game
@@09jesusmHe does not, but he does have records or former records in a ton of categories.
@@09jesusm for a few popular categories only. there are other categories that are quite long or weird that he doesn't have
I hold the WR for don’t give a shit category
omg i needed this, i felt like ive missed so much new stuff in botw speedruns with how updated it is
Great vid! I feel like a lot of commentated runs focus on PBs or TAS, so seeing a segmented SoB run is super impressive, demonstrating the fastest route and the human viable strategies, but not focusing on tricks that aren't possible RTA.
Excellent video! This is probably the best explanation video I’ve seen for this run!
This is EXACTLY what record speedruns posted on UA-cam should aspire to haha, amazing well organized commentary
It’s kinda crazy to think on how good player 5 is considering he took his own world record back after a month after he returned from a 10 month absence of BotW speedrunning.

Tyron18 (i think its 18) is like that too! But for SMO speedruns!

18:43 sneaky peaky
18:44 nice troll 😂
I kinda wonder though. If you get like a thousand bomb arrows and do the constant explosion flying thing until ur close enough, would the shield break?
@@Aussieshepherdownernah i don't think it should work, they'd blow up in your face
@@Danielonius yes, and he's talking about whether bringing your face to fireblight would make the explosion also knock it down
Story time: My first time doing the final fight, I did so by accident while exploring the castle, and I had to fight thunderblight without Urbosa giving me directions. This resulted in me never figuring out that you're supposed to use magnesis on the metal poles to stun the blight and punish, so instead I'd climb the nearby stairway and do a jumping attack to break the shield, to then shoot it with arrows until the shield came back.

This is an incredible video
Such a great job explaining things while always keeping the video interesting! Well done!!!
This was sick. I started trying this out because of you. Thanks for the awesome speedrunning content!
Great video man! Super informative, I love the pace you talked at and how you managed to play the whole run in real time without any long breaks or cramped commentary :) And ofc, gg again on the 23:23!
The most impressive thing in this speedrun is someone finding a use for the French language
Never heard of the quick rush before! I always wondered what that bomb was doing out during calamity.
Kinda funny to hear you mention the old man in Italian since I recently started a playthrough in Italian so that I can learn the language more quickly. When I heard that paraglide shout he does, I was really thrown off guard! Italy knows how to handle dubs!
Your commentary is so good, keep up the good work
absolutely wild. Good stuff my man!
This video and explanation are so incredibly nice
I tried speedruning great platau, took me two days
I just finished the game yesterday, amazing video!
Player 5 you might be the greatest Breath of the Wild player I've ever laid my eyes on
wolhaiksong just subscribed baaaat
tower of god reference? huh
one of the only speedrun where i can enjoy the game in my native language :xD
Why is this so f-ing cool, all the tricks and everything is awesome! Didnt know this even possible in this game
I swear that some day they are going to find a way to skip great plateau, it’s like barrier skip in wind waker, it took so long but they Medea it, the day they make it I’m doing a speedrun, and I don’t care how long it is at the end, because seeing this dude make a world record is all I need to be happy
Wow! This almost feels like I'm watching a TAS.
It's crazy what's possible today but I miss the bullet time bounces a bit...
I like that each of the games have unique strategies for speedrunning
you shouldve seen my live reaction like an hr ago to watching your 23:23 speedrun with 0 prior knowledge of botw speedrun or really most speedruns in general.... the blss shit literally made my eyes pop out of my head.... ill have to try to see if i can do the wind bomb stuff even once!!! great job on everything, super cool stuff :3
BRING BACK BOTW!!!!!!!
thanks for the breakdown, king. awesome video
Banger video
Mighty fine video
LOL at the pro tip to use Bomb Arrows against Fireblight in the Divine Beast
Great video
Hearing your puns definitely made the loading screens loads of fun

Also sorry for poor translation! I can write in english and in french very well but translating something is a whole other story...
its spirit orb btw might be a translation error from nintendo tho
@@totkfan ok thanks
Congrats on explain it every step for no speed run players , sometimes we never know what's going on with this category 😅
i find it crazy how simple everything up to magnesis is
LOADS OF FUN!!!!!
This was a very good video p5!
Sick vid!
great video
Thank you for This epic video
now i wanna finish the game so i can watch this without sploilers

idk how this recording ever made it into the game but i love it.
"too much to explain now" "a later video" over and over and over
Oh, new video. Looks like I won't sleep tonight:)
Please make sure to get enough sleep :)
No
commenting for that algorithm 💅💃 nice pb video p5 Kappa
you can skip plateau by going to stis then useing a panle to luch to hurule brige
But it’s better to do Blss on the stis shrine.
this feels unreal
7:08 oh my god that pun is so bad
?
Still waiting until Great Plateau can be skipped. Then BotW will truly be broken
I think You already can with wrong warp, but youd need to smuggle weapons into the final bossfight too
100% using bomb arrows on rudania 💯
5:31 rush reference
Is there a reason why you did not call it any% segmented? Did this name die in early 2010's or something?
hell yeah
me watching this video while I'm still on the great plateau doing the shrines...
Differences between WR and SOB :
Shrine loads, Amiibo rng, world loads, atk up claymore, perfect windbomb landings
This honestly doesn't look very different from your pb
Also nice Player 5 channel logo hiding the final time
Yup, he’s got the skill already, it’s strictly about RNG at this point.
It's the same route so it should look the same other than faster execution/RNG on everything. Also my pb did get the attack up claymore I just didn't get instant laser which is a bigger time loss. And thanks for pointing that out I moved the logo at the end.
at 4:36 in, im just astounded on how many tries does it take to get to this level of precision.
What an ending
I play on wii U, and someone please let me know if I'm just bad at item smuggling or if it’s impossible on Wii U,
It seems to me that you are only getting voided out if you Touch the ground. What if you would stay in the air during the ganon fight with blss for example.
No, you void out even if you're in the air. And even if that wasn't the case you'd have to touch the ground to trigger the boss fights.
This has to be cannon.
I forgot how fast p5 blss is.
You should called this challenge "Breath of the Lunch-Break" lel
LOVED this run!
P5 is my goat 👍
(You should do an ESC tutorial as a short or something btw)
nice video
This video better blow up >:(
I played this game several time, and my best record is 6 hours. So pround of this until I watch this video.
Quick question, why do you have to shield clip twice (once to get inside, another one to get into the portal) on Bombs and Mag but only once on Stasis? Like, why can't you crouch into the portal on Bombs and Mag?
The elevator is higher off the ground for bombs and magnesis compared to stasis.
