FFXIV Online's free trial includes content up to the first expansion Heavensward, until level 60, with unlimited game time! Check it out here: wehy.pe/y/8/Linkus7
Jokes on you i already play the critically acclaimed MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV that has a free trial, and includes the entirety of A Realm Reborn AND the award-winning Heavensward expansion up to level 60 with no restrictions on playtime!
Love that Sponsor. I'm all caught up on FFXIV, just waiting on the next update, but I do have another character I'm still in ARR on. Do you plan to do a video on it? Not sure what timezone you're in but I'd be happy to help you out, I love the game. I'm on Light, Phoenix, in the EU servers
This would make a really interesting marathon race. Generate a seed in advance and give the runners (and chat) the spoiler log immediately after the timer starts so they can't route beforehand.
@@michael_betts I mean, it depends. If you want to challenge their ability to route on the fly and are willing to give them enough time to fumble, springing the log on them at the last second is a good idea. If you want them to more consistently beat their estimate and want to minimize down-time for the viewers where they would otherwise just be standing still and staring at another monitor, you can add some prep time to taste.
That Vaati skin is rad. I still kinda wish he'd get to be a villain in another game at some point but that might be hard to make work well since we basically know all of his backstory and stuff.
Thats called a plandomizer and the answer is very fast. It basically comes down to how fast you can get 10-15 checks + how fast you can do hyrule. Probably an hour or 2
@@WaluigiisthekingASmith I mean, Linkus got 1:24 with just decent placements and knowing the exact spawn points here. A rando that let you select the spawn points would probably be only 30-45 minutes or less even.
Watch the previous video posted in this channel. 100% randomizer where Linkus did all checks That's pretty much what it'd be like, but maybe to a lesser extent because you obviously need less items just to beat the game than to 100% it
@@elnkr2603 What I meant is how fast can you beat a seed with items at awful locations (eg : Wallet leads to 1st bottle, bottle leads to 1 of the pearls on 1 long side quests, Hookshot placed deep inside Tower of the gods, then all this leading to Light Arrows on Molgera fight). Would love to see a video where he reads spoiler log and do a how fast can you beat a randomizer like that
This would be a really cool race for you and gymnast to do. Both players get 2 hours to reroll and route a seed, and then both players play their respective seed to see who can finish faster.
I love how OP boomerang is on the sea! LOL Also surprised Linkus didn't know about the one FW chest. This was fun to watch, and a quick time! (Which was expected, but thought it might be a little longer! Ahaha)
This is an idea that really interested me, perfect luck randos. Great video to release on our shared birthday!! Hope you had as good of a birthday as I did!!
Really cool run! I appreciate that you came up with a brand new speedrunning trick to make it possible, and that TWW speedrunning tech has continued to advance all these years later.
The nanu nane sent me back to my childhood panic of getting swarmed by miniblins T_T Great video, I love all the explanations, makes me feel like im coming along for the ride instead of just spectating haha
Honestly thought this title meant you were going to do a Wind Waker Plando run and explain why you placed what items where to make the run as fast as possible
1. I had no idea ffxiv was sponsoring youtube videos now (I've been playing it since there was less content than there is in the free trial; this is wild to me) 2. Vaati my beloved
Linkus, you can hit all 4 cannons on the watchtowers if you do them in clockwise or counterclockwise order. If you start at a 45 degree angle from the watchtower where you have 2 of the cannons in your view and start with the left one, you can target the ones at the back and the boomerang will be able to go all the way around the tower. The order would be front left, back left, back right, front right, or the reverse of that. I never use the bombs to beat the watchtowers because the boomerang is so much easier.
I expected the sponsored section to just be Raid, ExpressVPN, Manscaped etc Fucking surreal experience that it turned out to be FFXIV, when I'm currently playing FFXIV while watching this in the background. I didn't even know that SE DID sponsors like this. Also, whoever's playing in the footage for the ad has a, uh, interesting take on how to use combo weaponskills
I've done spoiler races of Hollow Knight and they're so much fun! You should think about giving something along those lines a shot. The routing is super interesting. It's pretty intense, but also great - unlike blind rando races, you can always point to particular mistakes and talk strategy at the end. Usually we did them with some time set aside purely for routing at the start.
hi linkus! love your videos. weird english fun fact you might not know - criteria is actually already plural! one criterion, two criteria. english is wild lol.
29:18 Linkus was that a reference to Armada? Didn't know you were a melee fan. 31:58 too. That would be a funny coincidence if you came up with those independant of each other.
You know, I’n pretty surprised that being able to destroy the cannons with the boomerang isn’t common knowledge, it’s how I’ve always dealt with the cannons since I was a kid.
I haven't explored too much of the channel yet, but has Linkus ever done a Link to the Past randomizer? That's the SNES game that I played a lot of, so I always like watching randomizers of it.
i'm so used to all the mobile game and usual sponsers that the FFXIV one hit me like a ton of bricks. Anyone thinking about playing, make sure you make good use of the unlimited free trial, once you buy an expansion your account will always be in subscription mode after that. it really shouldn't be an issue since there's plenty of stuff to do before you complete the first expansion heavensward but just a little warning ^^
This would be such a fun race idea! Your and another take a random seed (or someone pre finds one) then you and the partner are shown the seed with a set amount of time to read and route, then race! (The seed is the same for both people)
I was kinda lisening to this vidio while playing games and i never looked when he said a piece of cheese until the part in korok tree, and the hole time i thought a piece of cheese was acually a piece of cheese, i never even thought of the tri force shards.
Cool idea, I thought you were going to take it to the extreme though, basically designing the fastest route but you can pick and choose which items you get out of every chest on a 1:1 ofocourse (assuming max rando every item is fair game anywhere an item is obtainable)
If I'm correct, the perfect luck would be: First chest of Dragon Roost is Skull Hammer; Boss reward and letter from Forsaken fortress are deku leaf and grappling hook; Forbidden woods has Forbidden woods small/boss key, and all required items to beat the game (including the letter after beating the dungeon).
WW Randomiser app comes preinstalled with various models and skins to choose from, like, right as you generate a seed, but you can get them for a vanilla game as well - they can be found on Gamebanana, and even the HD patch by Hypathia comes with a few of these as a bonus. No idea whether you have to play on Dolphin only or is it available for Gamecube, but overall it shouldn't be hard to implement.
You can literaly drown the Forest Temple Boss in Dekutree sweat (The water sourounding the Tree) and OneCycle him this way too, just a little niffty info
Have you heard of the critically acclaimed MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV? With an expanded free trial which you can play through the entirety of A Realm Reborn and the award winning Heavensward expansion up to level 60 for free with no restrictions on playtime.
Hello happy new year hey linkus7 i relly enjoy your videos i love it when are edited but well it's My personal opinión i enjoy more when you put the all the direc in the video i really love the full directs in UA-cam You make really awesome videos muchas gracias por todo thanks for everithing i wisht yo You to keep growing :)
2:43 There is Dungeons, trails, raids you name it in this game Me: Offline/Local play? Also: How fast can you beat a perfect luck... Me: Imagine randomly loading credits at startup instead of title screen 🤣
From the title, I assumed that he'd just set all the necessary items in one location, like Windfall, and that this video would just be the full playthrough.
Never thought about it before but it's actually kind of funny how they decided to implement the iron boots in this Zelda game since there's no underwater mechanics. Having to implement wind mechanics instead of water mechanics to make use of that specific item is kind of an awkward way to do fan service.
I'd love to see a "Perfect" seed. As in, every item you need to complete the game is in the first chest possible. Is it dumb? Sure. But I'm dumb too :D
alternatively, just true baby seed the rando, to where the first 20 chests or so have all the required/helpful progression items and speedrun glitch tools. That's what perfect luck really means lol
Technically, it's not perfect rng because some items were still in annoying spots, so the item placement rng could be better, also you missed tingle on your first windfall visit, and needed arrows that one time. But yeah good rng (knowing where everything is beforehand) really speeds things up.

Get you a partner who talks about you as passionately and as frequently as Linkus talks about getting storage
Everyone should have a Linkus in their life
@@CosmosProvider True since I'm the 6k like 👍 here. I even removed and put it on again just to see it, usually I don't see changes like that one!
Or how Atrioc talks about Elusive Targets
@@VijoPlays this didn't age well
@@VijoPlays i don’t know what you’re talking about, he’s never explained elusive targets.
This would make a really interesting marathon race. Generate a seed in advance and give the runners (and chat) the spoiler log immediately after the timer starts so they can't route beforehand.
Id like it more if they have 15 minutes before the start to route.
I think that would be amazing as well. Linkus! Read your comments!
@@michael_betts I mean, it depends. If you want to challenge their ability to route on the fly and are willing to give them enough time to fumble, springing the log on them at the last second is a good idea.

I say give them the amount of time that the opening cutscenes normally takes.
That would mirror the “spoiler log” races in other communities. It’s always fun, especially if there is one log reader and one runner.
That Vaati skin is rad. I still kinda wish he'd get to be a villain in another game at some point but that might be hard to make work well since we basically know all of his backstory and stuff.
Same
It's kinda weird to see vaati sealing ganon with the four sword.
*Proceeds to turn it into Master Sword as Ganondorf dies*
The fact that I randomly put this on in the background while playing ffxiv is wild. I did a double take when I heard you say it
Literally same lol
Now I’m curious what the absolute fastes time would be if you could choose where every item spawn could go

A seed where everything you need is at Windfall?
@@goopi_eh Maybe that would be better but this video was still rather interesting all the same.
@@michaelwatkins4155 Windfall and Outset would probably take care of most the checks!
Now I'm more tempted to see a "how fast can you beat an awful luck zelda randomizer" video 😆
Watch the previous video posted in this channel. 100% randomizer where Linkus did all checks
That's pretty much what it'd be like, but maybe to a lesser extent because you obviously need less items just to beat the game than to 100% it

I also love how he straight up went ahead and rerolled a seed when he saw Din's Pearl on Withered Trees 😆
@@djray8 To be fair, in that one he needed the Pearls because one of the key items was behind those :D
@@Schilani Goes to show how evil can a randomizer get 😂
This would be a really cool race for you and gymnast to do. Both players get 2 hours to reroll and route a seed, and then both players play their respective seed to see who can finish faster.
Linkus is such a great content creator. He makes this educational, chill, and entertaining all at the same time. Huge props
That Vaati skin makes me unreasonably happy
I love how OP boomerang is on the sea! LOL Also surprised Linkus didn't know about the one FW chest. This was fun to watch, and a quick time! (Which was expected, but thought it might be a little longer! Ahaha)
That Sword that Link uses with the Vaati Skin is the Four Sword by the way, it is basically used to destroy Vaati usually 😅
This is an idea that really interested me, perfect luck randos.
Great video to release on our shared birthday!! Hope you had as good of a birthday as I did!!
So glad to see FFXIV getting sponsorships! UA-cam sponsorships are so horribly unreputable on average, but XIV is just a really great game all-around.
Really cool run! I appreciate that you came up with a brand new speedrunning trick to make it possible, and that TWW speedrunning tech has continued to advance all these years later.

A little less like perfect luck, and more like how fast can you beat a rando with clairvoyance. Great vid
I'm looking forward to the sequel to this vid: Perfect Luck on Sploosh Kaboom!
K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-KABOOM!!!

holy shit an xiv sponsorship? that's one of my favorite games ever, congrats on getting the bag linkus
I thought this would be a plando where you hand place all the items into optimal locations, but this is neat too.
You're the only streamer with creative and funny speedrun of ZWW
Was not expecting a FFXIV ad to pop up on a linkus vid while I'm playing FFXIV.
you have the skill to explain what you're doing very fluently as you do. i could never lol
22:53 Ayo what? You’re gonna be “taking advantage of Medli” 😳
Dude just invented his own skip for solving this randomizer
I thought this was going to be about plandomizer where you place the items before hand
Did anyone else get up & start doing goofy squats at 19:19 or was it just me
hi linkus! love your videos. weird english fun fact you might not know - criteria is actually already plural! one criterion, two criteria. english is wild lol.
"I'm actually going to be taking advantage of Medley quite a lot" -Linkus7
Vaati skin is dope. Hope you make more long form videos using it
19:22 I was doing laundry when this came up, so I actually did the squats and side steps!
29:18 Linkus was that a reference to Armada? Didn't know you were a melee fan.
31:58 too. That would be a funny coincidence if you came up with those independant of each other.

This would be such a fun race idea! Your and another take a random seed (or someone pre finds one) then you and the partner are shown the seed with a set amount of time to read and route, then race! (The seed is the same for both people)
I love Tom Holland. I had no idea he was so good at gaming.
No way you got sponsored by FFXIV that's legit my favorite game
Great and awesome video! See ya next year! Gott nytt år! Låt 2023 bli ett grymt år.
I was kinda lisening to this vidio while playing games and i never looked when he said a piece of cheese until the part in korok tree, and the hole time i thought a piece of cheese was acually a piece of cheese, i never even thought of the tri force shards.
12:01 Why did Linkus sound like the Game Over laugh from Zelda II
22:52 Oh, *that's* why they added the bird people...
Nobody:
Linkus' chat the moment he gets literally anything: 👶 seed

21:19 thanks for reminding me lidl47!
I gotta say that Vaati skin from Minish Cap lookin' CLEAN. 👌🏽
feliz ano novo linkus :D
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Ngl when you said 'perfect luck' I half-expected a manual seed edit so that every item is close to spawn or on the way to Mr. Ganondorf
Sick informative video linkus!!!!
+holy moly now I know about all the glitches that I've been looking for.
"Maggie's Father doesn't have a name"
Deserved.
Is there a full vod of the run I would love to see it
He posted an 8 hour long video showing a full run of a seed. Check it out!
2:43
There is Dungeons, trails, raids you name it in this game
Me: Offline/Local play?
Also:
How fast can you beat a perfect luck...
Me: Imagine randomly loading credits at startup instead of title screen 🤣
Linkus: but first a word from today’s sponsor
Me: ugh more manscaped sponso- is that final fantasy 14?????
Welcome!!! So very hyped to be here early
From the title, I assumed that he'd just set all the necessary items in one location, like Windfall, and that this video would just be the full playthrough.
Wasn’t expecting a Vaati exercise routine but hey, I’ll take it
"Maggie's Father" might be a reference to the Bob Dylan song
Counter idea: use the same process to make the most disgustingly brutal seed possible, then get Gymnast to run it.
I feel like perfect luck would be getting all the checks in a single area or two.
thank you for all your hard work
Never thought about it before but it's actually kind of funny how they decided to implement the iron boots in this Zelda game since there's no underwater mechanics.
Having to implement wind mechanics instead of water mechanics to make use of that specific item is kind of an awkward way to do fan service.
Dude put the VOD up. I’ll watch the VOD. It’ll be like your TP speedrun explained fom the other channel
Tbh I spent most off this video imagining a chanonical explanation for why Vati would be taking the role off the hero of wind
Yes I haven’t finished the video but Linkus is 100% gonna beg to the RNG Gods!
I always called Maggie's father Nathan, because you can combine them and get "magnate"
I'd love to see a "Perfect" seed.
As in, every item you need to complete the game is in the first chest possible.
Is it dumb? Sure. But I'm dumb too :D
I love watching the randomizer videos ❤️
This is the type of luck that speedrunners Dream about
love the vids keep up the good work
How fast could we save Marin from being trapped as a seagull forever with PERFECT LUCK ?
304 days remaining till I
The helmaroc king cheese is hilarious
Like'd because of the 'Dream luck' comment, had me rofling.
Yo Silverpalm3, I felt that. I bet those dogs were delicious.
alternatively, just true baby seed the rando, to where the first 20 chests or so have all the required/helpful progression items and speedrun glitch tools. That's what perfect luck really means lol
so good not to hear he says "Let's Go" every 2 seconds
This really is just if Dream did a wind waker rando
Thanks for reminding me that I need to defeat shadowbringer and endwalkee
This is such a cool idea
Technically, it's not perfect rng because some items were still in annoying spots, so the item placement rng could be better, also you missed tingle on your first windfall visit, and needed arrows that one time. But yeah good rng (knowing where everything is beforehand) really speeds things up.
well yeah in theory all the items needed to beat the game could just be in windfall and itd be 30 minutes
What is the seed for vanilla seed
