it was funny how much speedrunners struggled having to adjust to just walking and gliding instead of being able to instantly propel yourself across the map and run infinitely
That's rough buddy
@@Karlach_you would say that
Rip the op shiekah slate strats,
but- is the shield bounce gone though?
They’ll find new glitches with the new mechanics
Good. That stuff was soo bad and cringe, imagine having to skip & glitch most of this Masterpiece of a game just to post a 100m sprint time. They were never really Zelda fans, just E-sport 'gamers' after a quick buck.
The sheer amazement at grinding the rail was shared with probably everyone at that moment.
RIGHT? i played for 3 hours last night and didnt figure that out
I tried just walking down one of the rails. You can probably guess that I fell off doing so, darned joycon drift.
@Tess, Formless Librarian isn't it supposed to be impossible to walk along it? Like it is slightly slippery
I went 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
@@llamadrama1090 I got about halfway down one of them before slipping off into the clouds below. At that point, to me, it isn't a slippery rail.
Link’s little nerdy-ass laugh whenever he fuses something will never get old
Yeah, he thinks it’s very funny when I fuse a stick with a stick
To be fair if I attached a big ass rock to a sword, I'd probably laugh too
i play the game on mute and i’m starting to think that’s a mistake
i love the little chuckle when its like "yay :) long stick" vs the straight-up "ha-HA!" when its like "OH _BABY_ IM GONNA COMMIT SOME WAR CRIMES WITH THIS THING"
Wait, Link laughs when you fuse stuff? I thought he was grunting!
I love the universal feeling of players entering the depths for the first time, getting the first light root on the map, and realized what was said here: "Oh. Oh this game is BIG big."
Because uhhh YEAH it really is.
That would have been a surprise for me but some guy next to me in line at the launch spoiled the underground
@@Ashanmaril Damn leaks
The thing about Link's first dive is if you don't accelerate you can time it so that the music cuts out as he hits the water.
The diving music is dynamic! so it always ends right as you land
@@guacamolerain not for me 😥
I dived and it cut as soon as i remerged
@@guacamolerain it kept going as i walked onto land
In before the Nintendo copy strike where they forget how time zones work and wipe a multi million sub channel.
35:55 And this is why you should have cut down every tree during your 100% run. Prevent these things from evolving
Only you can prevent forest survival
The real reason for deforestation
@@Ryann9 only good reason
@@midnight4685natural selection in zelda 💀💀
The deadpan look with “899 koroks to go” had me dying laughing.
bro that expression wasnt deadpan that was bloodlust bubbling up to the surface
999, unfortunately
@@sylvie_on999 seeds, but 899 koroks.
I think they added more😂
@@Wildicon19 more seeds, but the same amount of koroks
I genuinely love how many arrows they give you now. Left the starting islands with over 100 of them
That's cuz there are no other type of arrows
@@Dado_nastro yea, but at the same time they were fairly uncommon, and now you're basically handed a few dozen fire fuses in the tutorial. Not complaining tho 😂
And I quickly used all of them shooting brightbloom seeds all over the depths, and now they are surprisingly slow to find, oops.
@@scorcher117 yep, I'm coming to realize the same right after beating the rito boss. Now every crate I is just a potential arrow, so im losing most of my heavy melees breaking boxes 🙂
@@OergenSchmoergen
Just use Ultrahand and break it the way you would a Metal Box with Magnesis. Lift it really high and let it fall.
Cant believe i spent over 100 hours to build link up just for him to blow it in 4 seconds. Come on man
Edging does that sometimes.
@@techstuff9198 so true 🥺
just use the heart duping glitch
@@eatfaef 💀ur already using glitches on release day
i detect a major skill issue
@@bocajthewizard are you illiterate bro he's obviously talking about botw 😭😭
3:38 All right so we're gonna need a Rito, a Korok, 2 temples, 2 songs, an ocean, and a Boat...
Best game in the series.
This is very accurate
Wind Waker reference, very nice
I understood that reference.
Hopefully they’ll return to that style of Zelda game at some point
Bro, there are going to be absolute THOUSANDS of videos of people building Korok torture devices.
I am floored. TotK is going to be a hell of a content fountain.
And there were. Congrats
@@sSpaceWagon Heh, yeeh. 'Tis satisfying.
I noticed that sprinting takes more stamina, swimming takes less, and bullet time takes stamina if you fire. It's definitely an improvement.
If you fall from the air with no stamina into the water, you are given stamina instead of instantly drowning.
Ha
Ancient Spirit thats been keeping Ganon locked in here all these years? Nah, this the dude i stole the arm from
I mean
it aint' wrong
Yea I was playing it early from the leaked copy and I really wanted to spoil that specific detail
They should have Link’s Right Hand man 😂
Imagine they said for sidon in botw The person who watched me swim to zora's domain
the 6 year wait is over. AND IT WAS WORTH IT LETS GOOOOOO
and here I am... desperately binging-playing first BOTW, because I played not very consistent past few years at it
6*
he played botw probably for 1 year. and he waited for 5 years then
@@Levi463 it was a typo, wasnt really checking if I typed it right cuz I was too excited
Damn has it really been 6 years??
I have a feeling that speedrunners are gonna find a way to break through the opening sequence and keep the max hearts and stamina
Already happened with the master sword I think
I wonder if that will be possible without losing Rauru’s arm
@@chancehall3539 armless%
It's what they do
With all the Divine Beasts, Shrines, Towers, Champion's Ballad Shrines, and now the Depths, JUST HOW MUCH STUFF IS HIDDEN UNDER HYRULE?!
that's no kingdom! that's an ancient storage closet!
lol going into the game I expected the depths to be multiple underground areas scattered across the map not a full underworld
@@essdsadad6793 I didn’t watch any trailer (I was honestly too lazy to watch them like not even joking) but when I saw the depths it was very surprising and I too thought it was like small areas but nope)
@@essdsadad6793lmao same, honestly shocked me how big the map was when i first went there and that wasnt until i went to goron city lmao to do my third region
Ive cheesed like 12 shrines just "magnesising" something upwards and dropping it then standing on it and rewinding up IT WORKS SO MUCH
Thats actually what one of the shrines solutions is so they definitely know about it...
Same it is the ultimate strategy. If you have 2 platforms you can go back and forth and get super high. Just stand on one life rhe other up stand on the other rewind lift the other up while being lifted up repeat
Yeah whenever I see a shrine it’s my go to strategy finding funny ways to beat shrines is great
7:40 “it’s my right hand man” bro took it literally
The puzzles, the sheilds, the exploration. Watching a streamer who is actually smart enough to understand and try out most things in the first stream is dope. SMARTANT 🐜
seeing ant become so lifeless every time he sees a korok is so funny to me
Wait until he learns about Nintendo letting us torture them
I did the snow shrine before the fuse shrine. That's what makes this game so amazing. I am so glad I went to bed early to play this after midnight
I almost skipped the Ascend shrine, I used Ultrahand to make a "ladder" in the area where you were meant to use ascend
@Some Guy yeah, I just used all of those boulders they gave you at the beginning and took them through the entire shrine lol
@@James-dq1uy I used logs in the area lol
Look, I made like 5 of those before remembering that I can just go to the shine and get ascend lol
@@callmecrimson4806 I also made 5
I can't believe someone completed their first shrine using shield surfing. Amazing
Can we please get the complete playtrough like this? Freaking love it
I imagine it will be on the vods channel
I love how he just accidentally found the Great Abandoned Central Mine yet it took me hours because I was following the wrong statues.
The fact that this was uploaded the DAY after he played is crazy. Props to the editing
i mean the editing is just cutting some scenes out
@@laserfoxpro That's the perfect example of "Tell me you've never done video editing without telling me that you've never done video editing"
@@laserfoxpro yeah but it’s multiple hours of video which means it takes a bit to find the right scenes, cut them, and put them together
@@GyroCannonso tell me what else is different from the vod then?
no way, 2 SmallAnt videos in not even a week? we've been blessed
can't wait for all the content around Tears of the kingdom!!
This is unheard of
@@kylefortuna-ledson5075 I think he used to upload slightly more frequently
most boring smallant content
@@hexdoll7176 then don't watch it, /:
@@hexdoll7176I find this some of his most intriguing content
I remember diving into the chasm for the first time, I had seen zero trailers and knew nothing about the game beside the basics, like merging, vehicles and the whole sky area. Though from what I can tell, the trailers didn’t show the depths. Anywho, I thought that chasm was just leading to a cave, then I got the light root and realised “Oh god, this is an entire map, huh?”
This is probably the most well made mod of Breath of the Wild I have ever seen.
that joke has never been and will never be funny
I actually found it hilarious
@@paulrance5445 I mean, the devs genuinely started this game with "we have too many botw DLC ideas, let's make an entire second game composed of just DLC ideas", and they came up with this. This game is quite literally the devs' own officially licensed breath of the wild mod.
@@theendersmirk5851 I'm not sure it's *just* DLC ideas.
@@michaeltovah4 well yeah, they eventually decided they needed to add a couple hundred more koroks because we hadn't suffered enough last game, but still, it's a good percentage "wouldn't this be cool as a DLC? Oh, but it conflicts with this that and that." Or "oh, but that would take up too much space to just make as a DLC", etc. So they made a full game out of it. You can see how a lot of this stuff would have made sense as DLC alterations to certain quests in regular botw.
this has been the first correctly hyped game in a while
*cough Splatoon*
Yep, this one is a game where the hype is understandable.
Well there was Elden Ring just last year
Elden Ring would like a word
@@jonhoepner3021 i think a year is a while
Oh dear god I almost passed out from laughing too hard. Oh man that glider WAS flawless.
35:57 🤣 when the tree came alive someone on stream said “Trevenant” 🤣🤣🤣 I cried
Can't wait for the first speed runs!
Im pretty Sure you need way more then 100 hours so why Not play it yourself and enjoy after it the speedrun which Sure will Look amazing by the time! :)
(Update) LOL clearly im a idiot on the Internet who doesnt know what he talks about.... you guys are sąd and should study speedrun and annoy other people Just like vegans
@@juliuscasar7202 you clearly don't understand speedruns
Hundo...
@@juliuscasar7202 speed runners will have this shit down 7 hours max. Ain’t no way the speedruns of this game take longer than GTA 5 speedruns
@@mariobutwithdrip8944 i think maybe he was talking about 100% speedrun. There is alot to do now so its possible unless groundbreaking glitches are found.
Smant's "where are you" at 3:15 sounds so much like an in-game voiceline. I was tabbed out and when he said that I was like "what? i don't remember that being a voiceline?"
I originally thought that Rauru's voice actor was Matthew Mercer. I proceeded to look it up, found out Mercer voiced Ganon, got scared, found out it was Chris Hackney, felt relieved.
24:04 chat: bro turned into jesus
“It’s my right hand man” LMAO
Just finished my 11 hour first session ^^; this game is gonna be my hyperfixation for weeks. Also I adore the depth added to the NPC's this time~ the side adventures are great
Don't kid yourself, change weeks to months lol. That's how it's gonna be for me at least
Fun detail that you start the game with 15 hearts per line, 30 max like the cap in botw, despite the fact that in totk has 20 per line and 40 is the cap
I've watch several people play this by now and Ant is the first I've seen rail grind the first shrine. Ingenious really.
**Frantically hand signing** “So let me get this straight, I’m not somewhere I’d call Hyrule, I’m seeing sky islands… and oh yeah, I’m talking to my arm! Yeah, okay that’s a thing I do now. I glue sticks together, kill robots-I’ll probably fly next.”
I actually love the perspective smallant takes, every single thing he thought in the opening sequence I had thought the exact same stuff when i first played
Thanks for the video Smant! Loved the first section of this playthrough, excited for the next one 😁
Calling Lauru "the source of the right arm" is so funny to me
Can't believe the temple of time requires you to have over 5 million power in rise of kingdoms
Luckily for me I choose the barbs that gave me more attack power
dont forget about the romans and the gathering resource bonus
Well I’m superior bc I chose the Vikings so I don’t even have to waste time farming
Descending into the depths of hell for the first time was terrifying
Smant's being so single-minded about the Koroks is both hilarious and incredibly relatable
10:16 the menacing look of dropping the Korok off the side of the island is my favorite part.
Wanted to watch all the way through , but I want to play it and experience it myself first. It looks so amazing I’m def coming back to this video to see what’s up after
Can we all take a moment to pay respects to kidpresident0's legs... Get a fan my friend.17:39
I never watched any of the gameplay so fuse was a TOTAL surprise to me, such a cool ability!

i am trying to move through the story slow enough that i’m not burning myself out, but fast enough so i can watch smants videos without getting spoilers
That "Raft" at 12:34 just killed me.. especially when it was "Fixed" a little bit later... I had to pause the video because I was laughing so hard I couldn't see. Thankyou @SmallAnt for the laughs, it really brightened my day.
The sheer amazement at grinding the rail was shared with probably everyone at that moment
My mind was blown during the stream
39:50 That's a really neat way to solve that shrine. I also spent like 20 minutes trying to build steps, until I remembered I could just stack them and use Ascend... Which, in my defense, that's the most situational ability, so it's the easiest to forget like Cryonis in BOTW.
The easiest to forget for me is rewind honestly
Nah actually its the map ability
As a first time watching Smallant, I just wanna say that it is amazing and the hat fits him perfectly
I adore how they did Kohga in this game.
He was already the only person do use your magnesis power, now he's the main one to use your building power.
15:00
SmallAnt seeing a fan for the first time in his life, 2023 (colourised)
i cant stop watching the shield rail grind in the first shrine your speedrun tech is insane
Hopefully we get videos of your whole gameplay of this game? And VODs also! Really entertaining as always!
That shield slide was so cool and unexpected lol : nice skill !
That's why botw and totk are such great games.
i put off watching this for fear of spoilers. I just finished the 4 regional phenomenon quests so i thought it was safe but i haven't even seen the yiga yet and haven't done much in the great plateau lmao it is kind of hilarious how free-form your progression can be
The consistent uploads and all this Legend of Zelda content are peak SmallAnt.❤
Before I watch this, how far into the game does he get? Are there any big reveals I should wait to see for myself?
Just slightly past where you get the paraglider!
@@Smallant Mate, you literally fight two bosses.
@@thevioletbee5879I think he meant how far into the main story he got
@@thevioletbee5879 which bosses did he fight? like actual main dungeon bosses or just minibosses like lynels or gleeoks?
@@joedorben3504 one mini-boss and another is a returning but also updated boss with a side-story connected to it
finally going back to watch this after sinking over 200 hours into this game (cause i was adamant about avoiding spoilers and have too much free time) is so fucking hilarious i love seeing him mess with shit in ways i only figured out like 40 hours in lmao
36:19 stanima
man i want to play this, the fuse weapon thing is so cool
Seeing Link walking around with a stick on his back with a rock on the end made me laugh so hard 🤣
I love this new building system because I found it hard to get around in both. I would always climb cliffs and paraglide off them
3:00 the arm that seals the darkness, the master arm!
YOU BETTER POST THE PART 2 ON UA-cam WE WANT TO SEE
PLEASE 🙏
I went to the midnight release at my local GameStop and it was awesome. I got a tears of the kingdom sleeve for answering trivia, and I got a wooden engraved plaque for pre ordering there.
Let’s go❤
I never figured out you could shield grind like that; gonna try it now
Fusing a glider to your shield lets you shield jump higher, you can get bullet time anywhere with the added height
dang this is one hell of a mod
Getting the yiga outfit was my greatest joy, what a fun storyline!!
26:23
I had that same exact reaction at exactly that same lightroot lol
"It's my right hand man"
That made me audibly groan.
23:50 oh shit she going into creative mode then spectator mode
Link was going crazy on Zelda, that's where he got the extra 2 hearts
15:40 idk why but the poor bubbul frog laying their with its leg twitching while he admires bomb flowers is sending me
13:30 How you go from "Oh this so fun, look at this wacky enemy with his fan" to John Wick style kill everyone is amazing lol
I like how the game is friendly to people who haven't played BOTW but also has a lot of little nods back to BOTW for the OG players :)
This started where Skyward Sword ended, love it
No? Lol it starts where botw ended
ive been watching ur vids for 3 years yet i only just realized how much i love his laugh
Oh my god small ant made me realize how many ways there are to do the same thing like the Mine cart shield is amazing and the bomb shield too
Please keep the uploads consistent dude I’m experiencing the game through you since I don’t have a switch.
He don't play on switch he is on emulator
Tattooed link is what we didn't ask for but sincerely needed.
Your videos are ALWAYS SO MUCH FUN
I love how "the legendary comma" is the last thing you hear before the first ad break
damn you already made so much stuff i didnt think of, shield cart, shield skateboard i love it
You mean, shield mine-cart, shield cart.
You had someone make a great mod, can’t wait for TotK to come out.
I love how we all have Korok ptsd and just think all the time “there HAS to be something there.”
It's honestly a problem. I check for the. Everywhere now
When the big fat round trees dont have a korok 😢
@@Hithere-uz6wd when the little spires you can grab onto don't have one 😪
(The bellyflop at the beginning) first mod will be, remove the dive at the end, let him bellyflop if you don't dive, he loses half a heart, and his front turns red for a few seconds
One of the first things I did was fuse a shield with a minecart and give Link a skateboard
Famous Australian UA-camr Small Ant
"I wanna see what happens"
Me instantly gets an ad as soon as I hear link scream
That was so good I am CRYING 7:40
I wanted to wait to play this but I may just hop in
