    The reason I love speedruns:
    Imagine being Ganon.
    You've defeated all of the Champions and built up power for 100 years.
    You get a report from the Great Plateau that Link is awake.
    15 minutes later, you hear the sounds of battle outside your cocoon.
    It takes him 3 minutes to defeat your strongest generals that took out the strongest people in the world 100 years ago.
    Now before you stands the Hero, butt-naked and equipped with an assortment of weapons taken from the most fortified location in the world.
    You don't even know what happens in the battle.
    Your brain only has time to process the pain before you're lying on the ground in a puddle of your own malice.
    Gathering the last of your energy, you manifest your Dark Beast form.
    You are now the most powerful being Hyrule has ever seen.
    The Hero doesn't even seem to be trying.
    Now imagine being Zelda
    You've been desperately holding back Calamity Ganon for 100 years.
    Finally, you can sense Link waking up.
    You call out to him for help.
    For some reason you're speaking French now.
    You tell him that there isn't much time, and to get to you as quickly as possible.
    Of course, you expect him to prepare.
    Restore the divine beasts, reclaim his sword, spend a while getting stronger.
    It might take him a few months, but you're confident you can hold back Ganon at least that long.
    Suddenly, your body materializes and you see Link, in his underwear, standing over the body of Calamity Ganon
    It hasn't even been half an hour.
    (In French) "Link, what the fuck?"
    He doesn't seem to be listening.

      Got to hyrule castle for the memories, died two times to the Lynel inside. Was too lazy to fight him again so I climbed the tower and went to the main room. I jokingly thought to myself “what if I defeat Ganon now? Would be funny right?” Keep in mind I was two divine beasts in not even fully upgraded soldier Armor, a pot lid for a shield, 13 hearts and just my trusty master sword.
      I obviously thought it’d be impossible, there’s no way you can defeat the boss this early right? Lo and behold he turned out to be one of the easiest entities in the game. I felt so bad because I ended the game in the most unsatisfactory way possible, I’ve died more times to moblins. I am still afraid of moblins and obviously Lynels. Right now I’m literally just gearing up for lynels. The bosses are a joke and a half in this game.
