Link Between Worlds catching strays for literally no reason
When it's one of the best 2d Zelda games too
@@sonickhable scratch that, THE best singleplayer 2D zelda
Bro is *not* making it out of the wall with this one
@@sonickhableit is the best one lol
A link between worlds was the first Zelda game I played and made me fall in love with the series. Take that back
Same tbh
SAMEEEEE it’s so underrated imo. I love the painting mechanic!!
Yeah same got my first 3ds and played that game then ocarina then majora and so on basically got me started on my zelda journey
It’s the worst one tho
Maybe I'm just too old then and had played too many Zelda games by the time ALBW came out. I do consider it a great game regardless, but yeah I did forget about it
For some of these games you have to fight powerful monsters, previous boss enemies or go through perilous dungeons at the stake of your own life in order to be rewarded with the Hylian Shield...then in others you can buy it in some random shop for 10 bucks
Skyward Sword has you beating 90% of the game and doing a boss gauntlet...it's not even worth it because there's only like two bosses to use it on afterwards. Then in Ocarina of Time you just waltz up to the first shop present and it's just sitting there for anyone to buy. Albeit the shield is just the regular knights shield...but still...why am I fighting for my life in SS for it smh.
@@Legend-of-Kai You could probably get it faster in OoT by going to the Kakariko Village graveyard during the night- there's one buried in one of the graves in the front row.
Can’t you bring the Hylian shield over with you into a new game plus
@@mylespando5192pretty sure none of the Zelda games that have the Hylean Shield have a Second Quest or NG+.
@@Legend-of-Kai The SS one is cool and shiny. Just look at that mechanically useless durability meter!
In OTT you can also get the Hylian Shield by going to the graveyard and moving a tombstone then going inside a hole under.
thats where u get the clawshot i thought?
@@r.0xiithe hookshot is in Dampé’s grave as adult. There are three moveable graves in the graveyard, and that one is only there as adult. One of them has a chest with a Hylian Shield and a bombable wall behind said chest that leads to a Fairy Fountain. The other one has a singular ReDead and a chest that appears if you play the Sun’s Song
@@r.0xii smh, that's TP and SS. Nothing else has a clawshot. You mean the HOOKSHOT.
Given you have to wait for night though, it's faster to just rush Castle Town and farm 80 rupees off the drawbridge. There are a number of ways to escape the forest though, not sure which is fastest...
@@henryptungbackwards walking is the only way you even make it to the castle before night though, I think the first night comes faster than all the rest. I doubt he was backwards walking since you see the gate open in the video so it would have been faster to grab the one in the grave.
Not to mention that even if you do make it there before night, it will likely be too close to farm rupees from the bridge for long enough.
"We begin in Korok Village-"
*hol' up.*
something aint right here
Wait...did I really say that...Oh dear...man maybe I'm just Dyslexic that's embarrassing
@@Legend-of-Kaioh, I thought you were just making a funny/depressing lore reference
@@raze2012_explain sorry?
@@SevenThrone2307 there are very strong implications (everything short of a confirmation in Wind Waker) that the Kokiri of Ocarina of Time end up evolving into the Korok. In that specific timeline, the great flood happens and Kokiri reject their humanoid form partially to adapt to a world that is mostly sea (since they can float around now), and partially out of a fear of humanity as their island is completely isolated off of civilization.
Zelda is genuinely my favorite series, possibly ever. With that being said, a link between worlds is actually such an S tier game, even among the other Zelda games, I could never forget it 😂
How could I ever forget A Link Between Worlds when my friends and I are so deranged about the lore potential of Lorule and all the things it surely did to Ravio and Hilda's mental health
Ravio does seem quite...off...but I think a part of that is he's just Like That
One thing to shave off a lot of time in SkSw is to do Lanaryu first instead of Faron woods after the second imprisoned fight. Since you can get the song of the hero in any order, you can do Lanaryu first instead and even skip having to do the Imprisoned three times during the boss rush (if I remember the boss rush requirements for the hylian shield correctly)
But other wise, great video!
i found out that when i walked into eldin and got stuck in that quest.
Seriously getting the imprisoned three times in bad luck for that boss rush. I remember playing the og with my dad and begging the game to never give an imprisoned fight lol
@@AnAnnoyingFan but the imprisoned is FUN!
Yeah, i also did Lanayru first because as a kid i got spoiled that there's a Boss Rush, and the reward is the Hylian Shield which that shield never breaks making it the most OP shield in the game, plus refighting bosses is fun, i always love refights against bosses specially a boss gauntlet.
Slightly faster method for OOT: Just walk in Hyrule Field until you get to Kakariko, wait for night time, (and by how slow Link's movement glitchless is), you should only wait like a minute before entering Kakariko and grave robbing
For OoT you have 60 rupees every 8 seconds or so at the top of the bridge to castle town btw (the pots are the slower route)
fun fact about Twilight Princess: you don't actually need to go into the King Bulblin fight to obtain the shield, you can stop Epona beforehand and get the shield then
it absolutely ruins the moment but it's beneficial for preventing your cool Ordon Sheild from burning up
Actually the shield is in the shop i always get it after i remove the twilight
A Link Between worlds is honestly so underrated
Technically, the Hylian Shield is in A Link to the Past. It's the first shield you get in the game and official artwork shows it was the inspiration for what would become the Hylian Shield.
You could have gone straight to the Thunder Dragon in Skyward Sword rather than fighting The Imprisoned a fifth time and doing the whole Water Dragon question
fr
in totk you can aactually get the hylian sheild before the paraglider thru a secet entrance to the dock
11:00 that's like the best 2d zelda game
2:36 did you say korok village???
literally slammed the space bar. aint no way
I was about to say that, huh?
tbf the Kokiri do become the Koroks
It killed me to watch you actually buy the Hylian shield instead of going to the Kakariko graveyard
3:10 Fun Fact that most likely everyone will know, you can get a discount paper from the guard at the gate in Kakariko Village that leads up to Death Mountain, When you bring it back to the shopkeeper. The Hylian Shield will then be 40 Rupee's instead of 80
4:40 you summon a what
hawk… tuah?
No
I mean, what is a hawk to a baby?
3:30 You could have gotten the Hylian Shield from the graveyard at night.
Not only that, he could've clipped past the guard at Kokiri Forest as well.
I think he was avoiding glitches but either way, it takes slightly longer to run to the graveyard and pull the grave and get the shield for free than to just run up hyrule bridge, grab the floating rupees and have about enough to buy it from the store. It'd be close but about the same depending on your rupee collecting.
@@MarioMastar not long if you abuse the running backwards trick
Does Obtaining the Hylian Shield for Free in Kakariko Village Graveyard Take Longer ? I'm No Speedruner So I don't know 3:33
No. You literally just wait until nightfall to get it.
ALBW is one of the most beloved 2D games these days, though.
Getting the Hylian Shield in Skyward Sword felt like such an achievement, and it was totally worth it. I only ever played the HD version on Switch but it's my second favorite after Twilight Princess, I guess I like my Link's to go through a Hero's Journey and start as a standard villager.
your videos are so good, love the editing and the humour. so fun
I'm not sure I'd count Echoes of Wisdom getting the shield in the intro. That's not the main character, Zelda, getting the shield. She gets it later when she fights Link for the first time and gets his Master Sword, and just like Hyrule Warriors the shield magically appears when you get it.
Make your own video then
Lowkey I kinda like that theres no uses of glitches or the speedrunner strats. Even thought those are absolutely valid ways of playing the games (hell i love watching Botw and Totk speedruns and glitch video's)
I perfer the more down to earth vibe of these video's and this channel tbh, similar to your Mario Kart Video's
Yeah, at least it makes it clear why it takes long and would be for the average player. and different people have different ideas of glitches, so sticking to casual runs is a good base metric. It still irritates me that EVERY Tears of the Kingdom Speed run, including "glitchless 100% on the latest version" includes hours of item duping. which to me isn't playing the game.
You should take a look at how long it takes to get the mirror shield in Minish Cap. I know it's not the hylian shield, but if you thought it took forever to get the hylian shield in Skyward sword...
The MC Mirror Shield is LITERALLY the last thing you obtain in that game, locked to the "postgame". So, take the average time it takes to just beat MC, and add about 20 minutes.
@@KingRaatz you also have to get all of the gorons
What a great speedrunner you are becoming, I never knew i wanted to know what i kinda already knew but see how long it would actually take.
0:37 I said food 😅
Well, you ain't wrong, everyone needs that
Lol I said Scabbard 🤣
3:22 I shall not stand for this slander! this fine man clearly give you the go-ahead to smash those pots!
Link Between Worlds is top three!
You cam actually get it much faster in twilight princess. When you first get control of link, head to the bridge. Pick up the first rock on your right (in the GC version) and place it right next to the door. Side hop into the door between it and the rock until you clip inside, then run towards the middle of the door and spam roll until you hit it and bounce off, then jump off the bridge and reset the console the same frame link dies (there is a setup) once you respawn in the title screen again you will have the hylian shield, but if you want to actually be in the game with it, jump off the bridge again, and when link wakes up, you can save into your file. When you load the file you will be in the middle of saving malon on day 2 (although it's technically still day 1, but freeing him and the monkey skips to the morning of day 3)
Despite giving you items faster than normal, this glutch is called back in time
The master sword being this ancient and legendary relic passed down for millennia with magical powers makes sense, but I kind of get a kick out of the hylian shield slowly becoming more and more mythological over the course of the games considering when it was first introduced it was literally just a shield you could buy in the city. As if this was just the standard shield forged by the city blacksmith, but then a couple entries into the series later it's this legendary indestructible bastion of heroism lol.
Future Hyrule Warriors runs may be easier on Definitive Edition since you can swap characters live on the field.
That was a great video man!
this is the funniest legend of zelda video ever
Pretty sure farming pots in OOT is slower than getting the rupees above the drawbridge, not to mention the free one.
7:54 atleast in the original version you can just go directly to the desert and complete it (till you get the sead of the tree) and then go to the woods
You can do it in the new version too. I did it and not fighting the imprisoned as much was a god send.
YES LINK BETWEEN WORLDS YES THANK YOU I HAVEN'T SEEN THAT GAME MENTIONED IN SO LONG IT'S MY FAVOURITE DS GAME EVER OH MY GOD
I've always Headcanoned the the Shield you inherit from your Uncle in ALttP is the Hylian Shield, specifically the one Link found in the Graveyard in OoT.
Your accent is music to my ears, also this video is so fire
This is such a dope video idea
As some people have mentioned, you can also obtain the Hylian Shield in OoT beneath one of the kakariko graves. I believe buying in the market would still be faster, but it would be neat to show the different methods. You can also farm for rupees on top of the drawbridge which could be faster than the pots.
In TotK, would it be possible to find some stamina restoring ingredients before gliding to the castle? I don't remember what's along the path, but that might also be a slight time save
I could NEVER forget about ALBW. Ocarina of Time 3D may have been my first Zelda game, but ALBW was the first Zelda game I ever got the Master Sword in, and it was the first Zelda game I ever beat. It has a special place in my heart and I could NEVER forget it.
Also What the heck 10:35 😂😂😂
You could have gotten the hylian shield much faster in OoT. You could just get one in the graveyard at Kakariko right after you leave the forest. Just move the one grave and it's sitting in a chest.
6:14 man i remember doing that exact thing like 12 times.
3:21 You can actually get a free one in the graveyard at Kakariko village.
In Ocarina of Time, you not only avoided glitches, you didn't even optimize it for vanilla. There's 3 red rupees up where the drawbridge lifts up to and you can jump to get them during the day and they respawn. That's way faster than getting the chump change from the guard.
That echoes of wisdom joked was actually top tier
Now hold on a minute, In OOT, you can jump off the top of the moat chains to get a total of 60 rupees each time you reload the area
If you want to be real technical, LBW definitely started the trend of new loz games letting you play dungeons out of order, but that idea actually goes back to ALttP AND OoT. Those games both have more variety for the order you can play dungeons than BotW, you just wouldn't think that normally because there's a "suggested" route.
Link between Worlds was the first Zelda game I ever played. I still play it sometimes on my old Nintendo 3 Ds
Me seeing the title- *Laughs in boss rush
In Skyward Sword, you can do the Lightning Dragon before the Water and Fire Dragon at the end. So you could have probably saved about an hour or 2.
Glad someone pointed out that Gamelon is the most horrifying game.
OH BOY!!
In tears of the kingdom you can get the Hylian shield Without the paraglider once you talk to the captain immediately or before talking to him just go down the ledges near the tower that the captain is at and eventually you’ll find a little opening that lied straight to the inside of the castle through the water path if you avoid the gloom hands and light the torch there you’ll find it within minutes sooner
You could say the Magic Shield in Zelda 1 (you start with it in Zelda 2), and the Red Shield in A Link to the Past are early versions of the Hylian shield.
Technically, in the artwork for the player's guide for a link to the past, the shield there, which is the red shield, has a lot of similarities to what would become the Hylian Shield. So you could call that the prototype of it.
I love that you do glitchless
Budy u forgot Windwaker yo
There’s no hylian shield in windwaker
Yeah, there is no Hylian Shield
It's the mirror shield
It's faster to just go to Kakariko's graveyard and push the grave. There's a shield there if you don't already have one
If you can get the 80 rupees and backwards run to the drawbridge before it closes at night, Castletown bazaar is faster than going to Kakariko. If you dont have the 80 rupees before you leave the forest, then the Graveyard is faster.
the time gap between skyward sword and twilight princess is hilarious
If you climb the chain of the gate to castle town, and jump off at the top toward the other chain, you can collect red rupees. There are 3 per loading screen.
Much faster than the pot breaking.
Phantom hourglass on the side feeling like a gjost 😂😂
A link between worlds is literally one of my favorito zelda games
I'm not allowed to forget A Link Between Worlds exists, its literally the design of my 3DS.
In twilight princess you can do back in time to get the hylian shield
His runs where without glitches.
@ Ik but still
in oot, a faster way to grind 80 rupees would be to get the red rupee above the gate 4 times, or twice if you angle it right to get both
For OOT you can get money faster by farming the bridge chains as you can get 60 from one farm instead of going into the pot room.
Its be slightly faster
God dammit bro I love your sense of humor "fucked up this old man in a sumo wrestling match" peak
Now how about a rod item(if the game has a story relevant rod, that is what you go for, if there is only side related rods, than go for those)
I feel like you can get the hylian shield even faster if you beeline for the graveyard and get the free one in the tomb.
No, though you have to factor in collecting rupees to buy it, the distance to Kakariko and Castle town is about the same, but the distance from the entrances to the location of the shield is vastly different. the Graveyard is only faster if you had to go to Kakariko village first anyway, but you have to factor in the time to walk through the village, walk to the grave, the opening cutscenes that display each area (which don't play in Castle town) and the time to pull the grave stone before you can get it. Or you can walk up the bridge chains, jump to collect about 40 rupees, and just get the other 40 needed from the Deku tree or doubling through the rupee route on the way out of Kokiri forest. In theory it's only faster if you have to farm rupees, but I think speedrunners know how to get 80 rupees glitchless, given the guy had 31 and he was playing ultra casually.
@@MarioMastar In this case, not only did he waste time having to grind rupees, the slow way; it looks like he also had to wait out the night before even getting into Castle Town, because he was too slow crossing Hyrule Field.
So in that case it'd be faster to just go to Kakriko at that point, since it needs to be nighttime to pull open the grave anyway.
my man farming rupees in oot using the guard room when the drawbridge 60 rupees are right there made me depressed
So a little lore for ya, the shield in Ocarina of Time and any game where it has the red triangle is actually a replica of the original found in Skyward Sword. Only a few other games actually have the real shield
3:16 No, don't farm with those pots. Just outside you can walk up the drawbridge chain and jump over the entrance to Market to get red rupees.
Tears can defnitly done a bit faster. first if you grap some wings you can travel a lot closer to look out landing a lot faster. Also you dont need teh glider at all during the first visit to talk to the comander follow the iner side of the gaint hole and there is a pretty hard to find small entrance about where teh docks are this will put you at the bracer as well completely skippign the gloom hands. this can be done technicly withotu even visitng look out as well the 2nmd bit would safe a easy 10 minutes
Could you make a video where you see how fast someone in the zelda games says the name of the game. For example in OOT princess zelda says ocarina of time
I approve of this. If he won't make it, I WILL!
it probably only happens once
@@waffler-yz3gw in skyward sword they tell you to "raise your sword skyward", that's close enough, right?
@@waffler-yz3gw phantom hourglass has its name said by grandpa multiple times. I don't remember if spirit track is mention in spirit track though. four sword is clearly named (as it is the name of the sword).
I......never got the joke with Hyrule and Lorule until now....
You can get the hylian shield much faster in Tears of the Kingdom, even without the paraglider. Instead of talking to Captain Hoz, you just go past him and around the edge of the castle on the left side, and slowly drop down the cliff to the docks. And going to the Ascend, Fuse and Ultrahand shrine, in that order, is a much faster path on the Great Sky Island. I'd say that you could get to hylian shield in about one hour this way, haven't timed it yet
man now I have to play Hyrule warriors again
After the intro of twilight princess it's one of the best zelda games
In SS you can do the desert dragon before the forest one, unlocking the boss rush mode before youve done the 3rd imprisoned fight which means he cant show up there either
havent played the game in a while but i'm pretty sure you can skip the entire glider quest in totk. nothing stops you from just dropping from sky islands and directly move to the docks in hyrule castle.
Wait, doesn't link already have the Hylian shield in TOTK inn the opening playable cutscene? When you're descending under the castle before it all goes tits up?
Edit: NO, after checking, he does have the master sword, but for some reason no shield... a crime of fashion
@@Tommybgoode GASP!
W content man
In the zelda encyclopedia it states that ocarina link gets his hylian shield in the graveyard of kakariko village
The fact that the Hylian Shield isn't something as powerful and revered as the Master Sword really boggles my mind. Especially as something under the care of one of the dragons in Skyward Sword. It's just kinda...there.
for skyward sword you can do the dragons in any order so you could do the lanaryu region first
You did the pot breaking strat for OoT? Bro just walk up the chains on the draw bridge and jump towards the center. There's a total of 3 invisible red rupees up there. You can just walk in and out of castle town after each attempt. Heck, sometimes you may even land in the loading zone between jumps.
What is that theme at 0:58
zora domain theme
@ChariPower which game?
@@syrahstahl822 botw and totk
@@ChariPower my fault I was talking about the theme at 0:58
skyward sword main theme
in ocarina of time you can go to kakoriko village and at night go to the grave sight and dont get caught by dampé then push the grave stone at the far back jump inside of it then you with get the shield
The beginning of TP is what prevents me from replaying it
Banger video
My fondest memories' as a 5 year old is playing rayman 2 with my dad, and watching my mom beat the water temple for me.
15:17 based Age of Calamity has one of the most banger soundtracks in the Zelda series
I love Skyward Sword and always will no matter how much people bitch about it online. It’s an amazing game.
i freaking love skyward sword
Could you please make a "How fast can you get the Sword of Erdrick in all Dragon Quest games"?
oh yeah, and also oracle of ages, oracle of seasons, and that one where he is trapped on an island, i forgot.
gameboy version of the island one.
