      Well, in the final timeline, you start with 4 keys, spend 2, and get another four from Dragon Roost. In theory, if you didn't have to spend any keys, you could wind up with 8 keys from Dragon Roost total (by getting all four, then going back in time and getting them again). You'd also only need to go back in time once.

    i love this run. i love to imagine the in-universe experience for the npcs. it's so incredible when you think about it, link is visiting pocket dimensions, communing with strange gods in impercievable tongues, bending time and space, manipulating the very fabric of the multiverse of zelda wind waker, all in service of getting 14 small keys. it is a compelling, ridiculous end which is at once pedestrian and unbelievably heroic. well done, nice run, and great video

    No matter how many times I see it, it's always amazing that the game about the endless ocean that's too prohibitively large for you to accomplish anything at all in without a boat, was broken by a glitch that lets you manually swim across the ocean to any island you want. Some speedruns are just more poetic than others.

      I’m not a WW runner, my only real exposure to it is through linkus/GDQ, but aren’t they both called manual super swims? (Pause less and with pausing?)

    • @biscuitz7422
      @biscuitz7422 Рік тому +6

      Yes, both are still manual super swims since the player is generating the initial speed necessary for the camera lock themselves. Doing unbuffered inputs at the start just saves a ton of time over pause-buffering the entire way if one can mash fast enough.
      To the best of my knowledge (also not a WW runner), the Outset super swim is the only MSS necessary in most runs since getting camera lock with the Wind Waker is faster (and easier) and HD uses Item Sliding once available, so everything else is a “standard” super swim… I’d check with the experts to be safe though lol :P

    • @Ender_Onryo
      @Ender_Onryo Рік тому +2

      My guess would be 16. The 4 keys from transferring the 4 back in time keys and then the 12 from the normal map. Since back in time seems to work by saving the keys that are currently stored for a given dungeon and idk if you can store a key from one dungeon and move it to another dungeon while keeping it stored. But that's just what I've gathered from watching this. Idk anything about the mechanics of the glitches for certain.

    • @Linkus7
      @Linkus7  Рік тому +22

      In theory with current knowledge, the max would be 15 Small Keys, but it is not humanly possible. To my understanding it’s requires memory corruption and messing with the ram with such precision that it’s TAS only, and not viable in any way for a human to perform. But hopefully in the future a human viable method could be found

    30:30 You mentioned that boss rooms don't count as part of the dungeon. Do you think this is just so that there won't be a small keys indicator during the boss fight?

    I'm starting to think that chest storage being able to walk up walls is what gave nintendo the idea for BOTW's climbing

    Now I finally understand why that glitch is called "Back in Time". In this game, that was what it did!

    Slight nitpick at 9:18
    Komali is not Medli's brother, he's the Prince, and it's also implied he has a crush on her so mistaking him for her brother is kinda oof lmao

      Yeah, Komali's grandmother was Medli's mentor. Although medli probably saw Komali as a little brother
