_This_ is why Link is the last line of defense. It’s funny imagining the ghosts of Rauru and the sages watching as Link breaks every single law of physics for about an hour before soloing the person they all got stomped by in a matter of minutes.
@@subboy4920 Yeah the only shocking part was the healthbar not stopping and him flurry rushing my flurry rush. Other than that it was just another phantom ganon fight with slightly more health
@@coreydopson2030 yeah, I just say that because breath of the wild speedruns were getting modified and still are, its just so interesting to see how tactics change over time
i love the imagery of hands/arms especially across the Zelda games. The implementation of Link's extra-dextrous powers in this game is by far the coolest i've seen yet in all my 29 years, if not just in the medium of video games, then in any entertainment media that i consume. Almost goes without saying, but i think this is already one of the best games of this decade.
On second thought, I just saw the current world record, and it doesn't use any fancy running tech... just regular running. Total time was 57:54, and there were still some easy time saves to do. So, at the moment, crouch throw sprinting isn't necessary to get WR.
Imagine if this was canon. Zelda and Link go missing and then without anyone ever actually seeing him he saves the day and Zelda in under an hour. True hero.
There have been a few times when Link gets sent back in time without glitches. Time travel has always been an element of the series and even the first game was planned to use it. BotW was strange for _not_ having time travel.
With all the weirdness of totk, I have to wonder if the Ocarina of Time still exists. I mean, we get Majora’s mask in botw and this one so clearly there’s some level of self awareness from the devs. Hell, there’s a whole quest to get the Goddess Sword (Fi) which is a whole ‘nother can of worms.
Devs: Patch whistle sprinting and literally punish you for mashing the sprint button Speed runners: Aggressively spam random buttons to figure out how to (kind of) sprint The poor devs can’t win
and that's proof of why this game is amazing. Even in speedruns we have varied strategies. As I was going through the game I would intentionally do shrines etc differently than the way I thought devs intended them to be done.
Linkus, this video came out at the perfect time. I watched ZDI's run earlier and immediately booted a new save to try some of the strats out. Thank you for making this! EDIT: I couldn't figure out the ascend skip, this really is a huge help.
I don't why, but I still feel like there's still going to be plenty more to discover in terms of speed strats and movement tech. Of course, I'm not a speedrunner, so I wouldn't know just how optimized this currently is, but if botw showcased anything, it's that there really was a lot more to discover for speedruns than anyone even considered possible. Great run, and good explanation!
Skipping the final boss door is crucial to running no paraglider since (with personal experience) fighting Colgera without a paraglider and without wing armor is practically impossible. Probs to the speedrunning community for breaking the game so fast.
Ascend wasn't an intended ability it was a debug mechanic that the developer had fun with that they decide to add it to the game. So i guess that is why it is so OP.
5:30 If I remember correctly there is actually even more steward constructs that will give you a battery. There is of course the one that comes to you outside of fuse and the one shown but I beilieve that there are even more that will give you the battery pack
If you shield surf right before hitting the ground with a stone fused to your shield, you can do a fall damage cancel. Edit:sry my bad link just pulls out his paraglider by shield surfing
This run is awesome but I can't help but feel like it would be even cooler to see what new tech runners come up with in version 1.1.2, since you can't cheese the game as hard.
Rauru: You'll need special powers if you wish to combat Ganon-- Link, diving off the island, manifesting sacred-tier items into thin air as he falls, catching frogs that are jumping out of his boxers, and spawning 30 weapons and shields on his back before reverse-ascent-ing through the planet on a steering wheel to burst down Ganon's human form in 3 minutes. Rauru: Ahem, as I was saying, if you hope to defeat Ganon, you'll-- Link, yanking the master sword out of Zelda's literal face: Ah, you were at my side all along. My guiding moonlight... Cut to white, the whole thing was a dream within the Hunter's Dream all along, TotK merely serving as an announcement for a bloodborne remake and PC port (but you only get blightown fps because bad port) Hyaaaa!
Hey linkus! I once learned that if you have a shield that make link ragdoll when he Shield surf, (by attaching an object that pokes out of the shield) when your falling and your nearly by the ground shield surf with that shield to cancel any fall damage.
Thank you so much for this video Linkus! I just finished the game casually and this explanation of the route and tricks was just perfect for getting into the speedruns of the game!
5:50 But... I used that way casually. I didn't see any other way up. It's totally doable without any speedrun strats. Not as fast, sure, but not as impossible as Linkus makes it sound, I'd say.
If you can make it up with just jumps, you can make it up normally. Jumps take up more stamina than climbing normally, but they have the trade off of being faster than normal climbing.
Hey Linkus, great breakdown! Love seeing how this speedrun got optimized in just a few weeks. In the shrine where you use the ability to rewind time, you said you have to wait for the clock hands to overlap at the end to open the final door. However, I was watching my friend do a casual playthrough, and he used ultrahand to fuse the clock hands together. I feel like this technique would save time as you wouldn't have to wait on any sort of cycle. Have speedrunners tried doing this before?
I feel like a pro now. The way he went up to the ascend shrine (like right next to the icy waterfall) was exactly how I got up there too. If you climb normally without jumping, you can also make it up xD I was to lazy to walk around
Honestly, kind of hilarious how by the time this video came out, there was already a new Any% World Record set that beats the 59:22 ZDI one that Linkus is reacting to. Samura1man's 58:51 video was posted like 6 hours before this analysis video. Still a great informative take on one of the routes, I just think its funny how fast the route is evolving currently, since Samu's route has some pretty wild differences from ZDI's. Edit: And then SlyZorua posted a 58:02 video like an hour after this analysis, and then a 57:54 video using what looked like the same route as ZDI like 9 hours after this analysis. Wild times for Any%.
To be fair, there were multiple time loss situations in this video, like the failed shield jump in the ultrahand shrine, the missed jump before warp, the missed initial jump to the glider devices, and etc.
I got the battery from that same construct robot on my playthrough as well, I had no idea that was abnormal. I explored that area first and went into the snowy area immediately until I found that dude.
It's funny you mentioned doing that much damage to the doof as a casual, because I... did more. Turns out the lightscale trident is really REALLY strong.
This is the kind of video I've been waiting for. I look forward more to Linkus talking about speedruns than I do about watching other people's speedruns
Here's something cool a lot of people seem to be sleeping on. The Zonaite bow in this game is the ancient bow from BotW. Holding down the aim makes the shot straighter till it makes a nearly flawlessly straight shot.
As much as I love all these early version glitches, I kinda hope the current-version speedrun becomes the dominant category. Partly because it'll be really impractical to ask everyone to maintain an early-version copy of the game (especially once dlc comes out) and partly because the second half of this Speedrun has already gotten a little unfun-looking, focusing more on weird menuing and cheesing as opposed to combat and movement and resource management. This run is really cool for what it is but I hope this isn't what the majority of future runs look like
They should call this HoldHands% because it's a speedrun to see how fast you can hold Zelda's hand. It just so happens to also be the same timer stop as Any%
Have to specify for ya since I've heard everyone say you can only get a few faries, go to the circle ponds on the different sky islands and there will be 3 at each one unless you've already picked them up, I haven't tried duping faries but I ended up with 30 in like 20 minutes
You know i can see why Nintendo got rid of duplication because how easy it apparently is however they could have left the harder ones in. You know the ones where casuals need to take time to practice a bit and not do it by accident. Though i would actually like to know which of these glitches are still able to be used in the current version, like maybe the one at the beginning to where you skip building that bridge where you dive jump slash dive jump slash or the weapon throw sprint. Or maybe even the being able to get to that one platform when doing ultrahand skip, as even if it is slower it is still probably way faster to do than to get the first shrines normally if Nintendo missed that part when patching the fun parts out
@@heathersmith4042 Personally i think the ones being found are the ones Nintendo intentionally left minus the shock dupe with item stand which is easy to do but you need to finish the Terrytown side quest first. And you need to separate the fused item with the material as well even if you are going for the thrown one But either way all of the ones being found are kinda useless as you can't duplicate Zonai devices or fairies anymore. Like if i can't use them at the start of the game there is no point, what's worse is they did not have to remove the bow method as you needed to time it however they intentionally took that out by making it where you can not drop a bow after dropping one till the arrow fully knocks meaning you can't duplicate
Oh god I was so looking forward to this. Just playing the game casually I've seen so many tricks and tactics, I just knew speedrunners would break the game in half. This run is gona get so stupid fast in no time!
Man Im like halfway through the game and watched this cause I normally dont care about spoilers but I had no idea the end of this was going to be so epic.
I saw the video notification and got so excited I forced myself to go beat the rest of the story yesterday so I could finally watch this without spoiler worries. Honestly been excited for speedruns of totk since day one. Thank you for the great explanation/breakdown!!
It is the Nintended path but not the Nintended way, because the dev wants you to climb and not jump like in the vid. Also the dev wants you to loop behind the waterfall to reach that spot, so falling into the water to get there is probably not the Nintended way as well🤔
It still blows my mind that they went to such lengths to shut down speedrunners and then gave everyone a bunch of tools that are obviously going to break the game more than ever before
I love the explanations so much, but I can't help but to think of Miyamoto sitting in a darkroom stroking a hairless cat menacingly as he takes notes on what to patch
i actually grabbed those battery cells at the snow area in the beginning of the game because i explored the entire island before actually meeting rauru at the temple of time lmfao
The funniest thing about totk being utterly broken beyond measure, is that the game wasn't rushed at all. It's just that there is so much stuff in the game that stuff got through the cracks
5:35 Linkus thought this was Skyward Sword for a second... no no, the islands are near high enough for that. 10:20 Oh... he calls himself out. ok 12:45 and its back
I remember on a previous video of yours (I think) that was explaining some of the glitches in the game that someone said that this was going to be impossible to do so quickly. Yeah, I wonder what that person feels like right now
Regarding the tutorial shrine order, intending to "explore", I got to the ascend (ice) shrine before even unlocking them. Spent 30min killing two constructs with tree branches and then realized I couldnt even enter the shrine. Was totally worth it.

No
_This_ is why Link is the last line of defense. It’s funny imagining the ghosts of Rauru and the sages watching as Link breaks every single law of physics for about an hour before soloing the person they all got stomped by in a matter of minutes.
“Let me solo him”

@@IsThatAProGenji only missing the pot on his head
the only reason ganon camr close to winning was because link didnt exist yet
I just imagine Raaru meeting Link for the first time, explaining what's going on, and then Link just cracks his knuckles and says "Give me an hour".
honestly seeing ganons health bar just not stop growing has got to be one of the most hilarious and menacing moments in gaming ive ever seen
Fr thanks Nintendo!
That definetly was a realy sick moment but the health Bar just drained very fast, kinda dissapointing
@@subboy4920 Yeah the only shocking part was the healthbar not stopping and him flurry rushing my flurry rush. Other than that it was just another phantom ganon fight with slightly more health
@@themurrey1 seemed a lot more evasive than the other ones.
@@themurrey1 yeah thats a perfect description
Cant wait to see how different/similar speedruns are in a few years
For one, they'll be different because of the new version update. No more duplication, for one.
@@benbookworm Id imagine they would just use the older version to speedrun like with super mario odyssey, unless some other glitches are found
@Joe Mama well, there are categories for diffrent versions. In the future there will be only acceptable runs for newer versions
Few years? I cant wait to see what it looks like in a month
@@coreydopson2030 yeah, I just say that because breath of the wild speedruns were getting modified and still are, its just so interesting to see how tactics change over time
Love that this run ends the moment Link grabs Zelda's hand.
Instead of touch grass it's touch woman

it's so good
the music in that moment is amazing as well- one day im gonna cry watching a speedrun cuz of the music in that part i SWEAR
Crouch throw sprinting looks like it’s going to make my carpal tunnel from whistle running 10x worse.
Worth it!
Maybe there can be a category for Any% and another for NoCarpal%. It's probably only like a minute slower, maybe even less, if you run normally.
It’s actually not as physically intense as whistle sprinting, but getting into the rhythm of it is the hard part lol
On second thought, I just saw the current world record, and it doesn't use any fancy running tech... just regular running. Total time was 57:54, and there were still some easy time saves to do. So, at the moment, crouch throw sprinting isn't necessary to get WR.
@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ ok but what does that have to do with zelda
fuckin bot
I love how they removed whistle sprinting and the speed running community IMMEDIATELY found an alternative😂
That's the speedrunners way 😂
Imagine if this was canon. Zelda and Link go missing and then without anyone ever actually seeing him he saves the day and Zelda in under an hour. True hero.
That’d be hilarious actually
Ok but that is *Canonically* the plot of Spirit Tracks.
@@gilbertosantos2806 what
Imagine then, botw speed runs being canon as well. Link just Saves the world in under a day twice in his underwear, no sweat
Citizens of Hyrule: Oh man, that was a scary 52 minutes guys. Anyways, anyone want lunch?
Omg. I just realised. After all these zelda games performing 'back in time' glitches, they actually sent Zelda back in time.
There have been a few times when Link gets sent back in time without glitches. Time travel has always been an element of the series and even the first game was planned to use it. BotW was strange for _not_ having time travel.
@@angeldude101 technically it sorta did, just 100 years forward in time, the slow way, but still. :P

Never mind 5 or 10 years!
I haven't even played it and I'm so excited to see the ways people speed run this game
I genuinely wanna see the 100% run because i know the multitasking is gonna be insane
The 100% leaderboard is gonna need rules for like bathroom and sleep breaks 😭
@@_colonial_ BOTW has rules for breaks, they will definitely have some for this as well

Speed runners: Aggressively spam random buttons to figure out how to (kind of) sprint
The poor devs can’t win
they came UP with so many techniques at launch that it looks like they had it prepared since the last game
Btw Samura1Man got a 58:51 yesterday. You can find the run on his channel. Edit: He gets auto build and uses a different route
and that's proof of why this game is amazing.
Even in speedruns we have varied strategies.
As I was going through the game I would intentionally do shrines etc differently than the way I thought devs intended them to be done.
But his title still say former world wr, but I can't find one that is faster.
Wait why would you go for autobuild? How could that save any time compared to how long it takes to get it?
@@wallywalrus2 watch the run :)
Samura1Man is a monster, he's still smashing records to this day regardless of game, god damn.
28:57 I assume the "some reason" is that the boss fights are optional. So the flag for Ganondorf spawning is set after the horde.
Mark my words, the run's gonna be insane in like 1 year
Lotsa glitches be patched in 1 year how bout 3 years
@Barley yeah def

Missed opportunity to call the evil dragon Dragondorf
Oh man, that would be 🔥🔥🔥

Shrine 4 isn't on a timer. You can use ultrahand to move the clock hands and attach them together. If you're off-cycle, just grab and stick
They should call this HoldHands% because it's a speedrun to see how fast you can hold Zelda's hand. It just so happens to also be the same timer stop as Any%
I think it would need to be shortened to just 'hands%' the "hold" makes it too long to say.
Rauru and the other Sages: H-How is he...?! And through the ground?!
Zelda, who remembers BOTW: Yeah, he does that.
Love how the world record already got beaten before the video came out

Speedrunners are underrated, the amount of time & patience it takes for best runs is insane, probably shed tears speedrunning Tears of Kingdom
Congratulations!!

Oh god I was so looking forward to this. Just playing the game casually I've seen so many tricks and tactics, I just knew speedrunners would break the game in half. This run is gona get so stupid fast in no time!
Anyone else take 3 hours playing around on the sky island😂
Yes😂
I spent my first day on TOTK just goofing around on the sky island🤪
Easily one of the best explained videos I’ve ever seen. U sir deeerve a suB
Lore accurate link be like.
In my opinion you speed runners are amazing. I wish I knew how to do it, but since I don't I'll just enjoy y'all doing it.
I’m pretty sure going to Ganondorf normally cost me more time than this whole run 😂
I just love Linkus for doing Manscaped ads.
Got some for myself and its great.
Congratulations!!

Why doesn't link keep his zuggled Diamond halberd for Ganondorf? Shouldn't that be enough damage?
When you stack weapons, it causes memory issues so I'm assuming that triggering the Ganondorf boss fight is impossible.
Man Im like halfway through the game and watched this cause I normally dont care about spoilers but I had no idea the end of this was going to be so epic.
I gotta beat the game so I can watch this video! xD
I saw the video notification and got so excited I forced myself to go beat the rest of the story yesterday so I could finally watch this without spoiler worries. Honestly been excited for speedruns of totk since day one. Thank you for the great explanation/breakdown!!
at 5:51, was that not intended? i found that route up the cliff in my casual playthrough lol
It is the Nintended path but not the Nintended way, because the dev wants you to climb and not jump like in the vid.
Also the dev wants you to loop behind the waterfall to reach that spot, so falling into the water to get there is probably not the Nintended way as well🤔
I love how we now live in a world where both a Mario and Zelda speedrun involve picking up a frog on an older version.
I acatuakky beat it in 19mins (trust me bro)
Omg new wr crazy

Based 90's speedrunner.
I began watching you back when you were running WW no damage glitchless. It is amazing to now see you as 21st on trending

I've been looking to purchase a manscaped thing for a week now so you're lucky this is the first video i saw with a manscaped sponsorship lmao
For the final fight (with dragons) it would have been so cool if the elemental dragons all teamed up with the zelda dragon to kill ganondorf
Tip: if you have arrows then shoot one arrow at both ropes ( 7:00 ) and I believe it’s faster than cutting them with a sword
It still blows my mind that they went to such lengths to shut down speedrunners and then gave everyone a bunch of tools that are obviously going to break the game more than ever before
It's really not mind-blowing that they fixed glitches from botw
Thank you for all the explanations!
This was fascinating!
5:14 For my part, I thought that was just where you got the battery pack. Makes sense now that they'd have a couple spots to get it.
Congratulations!!

I love the explanations so much, but I can't help but to think of Miyamoto sitting in a darkroom stroking a hairless cat menacingly as he takes notes on what to patch
i actually grabbed those battery cells at the snow area in the beginning of the game because i explored the entire island before actually meeting rauru at the temple of time lmfao

I find it so funny that the "world record" featured in this video was already outdated by the time the video came out 😂

Wow, I love the Japanese typeface they used. Really invokes early Ghibli title cards like Nausicaa and Laputa

*game starts*
Linkus "this is where things get interesting"
The funniest thing about totk being utterly broken beyond measure, is that the game wasn't rushed at all. It's just that there is so much stuff in the game that stuff got through the cracks
No game survives first contact
5:35 Linkus thought this was Skyward Sword for a second... no no, the islands are near high enough for that.
10:20 Oh... he calls himself out. ok
12:45 and its back
I remember on a previous video of yours (I think) that was explaining some of the glitches in the game that someone said that this was going to be impossible to do so quickly. Yeah, I wonder what that person feels like right now
Regarding the tutorial shrine order, intending to "explore", I got to the ascend (ice) shrine before even unlocking them. Spent 30min killing two constructs with tree branches and then realized I couldnt even enter the shrine. Was totally worth it.
funny thing about the zelda fall thing: if you dont grab zeldas hand immediatly both you and zelda can fall eternally without going down.
@Official_Linkus7 wait what, this happened to me before what do i do. also whats telegram?
@Official_Linkus7 idk what telegram is sorry
@@derekholbrook8495 oh if anyone in a comment section tells you that you won a giveaway please ignore them, they're scam bots!

I did ascend first and went to fuse on a wing casually and just thought it was what you were supposed to do lol, nothing seemed odd about it
