I felt so bad for you when you failed the item slide jump going to ganon's castle lol... Great video! (The "dude, where's makar" joke is a classic in the ww speedrunning community, you have good taste)
The reason you need a super precise angle (the one where only 16 angles work) is because the gap that you're trying to fit through (creating by developer oversight when they meant to have no gap at all) is a single pixel wide, so you have to make it so that on one frame you're on one side of that gap, the next frame you're on the other side, and that the path between those two points goes directly through that single pixel gap as to not collide with any other collision.
It's actually worse than that. In 3D video games, distances are measured in units, which are floating point values (AKA decimal numbers). Because computers cannot represent decimals with infinite precision, we accept that there is a _very_ tiny amount of error between the intended value and the range of values a computer can actually represent. For all intents and purposes, these two walls are pieces of geometry that near-perfectly connect together, but for whatever reason, they are two separate objects, and thus the floating point error means that the collision is just barely out of line. The smallness of this gap is unreal. The gap has to be nearly the size of the floating point error value, or somewhere in the range of 1.0 x 10^-7 units. That is sub-pixel precision, in a way that is extremely difficult to fully quantify. From some basic research, each gridsquare in the Windwaker map is 1000x1000 units, which means the distance Link has to cover is 10 billionth the size of a grid square. In the context of Link's world, he is having to fit into a gap smaller than the width of the real-life transistor in the CPU that Link exists on. It's honestly insane this glitch is possible without TAS.
@@BetaDude40 In all fairness. In many cases TAS is about doing a million sub frame perfect inputs at the exact space and time off the level, while this is a couple off relativly normal inputs, at a extremly small but static angle.
@@kommo1 I think I should correct myself and say "it's insane this setup was discovered without TAS." The trick itself isn't hard if you know it, but it blows my mind someone figured out how to do that
Y'know, I recently replayed Wind Waker, (around a few months ago) and briefly joked about how the line "A boat with no sail can sail no seas" (which is said by the King of Red Lions in his introduction cutscene at Windfall) is incorrect due to the cruise feature, and how painfully long the game would be if you had to cruise all over the Great Sea. Never did I even remotely expect that someone would do that exact idea, much less that and more; and so soon after I made that joke, too.
Keep in mind Korl didn't have a sail before Windfall, so he literally did this from wherever you landed after Forsaken Fortress to Windfall. You're lucky you landed a 10 feet from wherever he was in the vast ocean so he could slowly retrieve you before drowning
Hey, I’m sure I speak for most of the people here when I say that while we love seeing these videos, your mental health is more important. Please don’t overwork yourself.
Kinda hate when people say stuff like this. Like yeah, prioritize mental health and all that's important. But also this guy plays videogames for a living. It's not that stressful, it's what most of us do for FUN, and if I could do what he does for a living instead of working every day, my mental health would be a thousand times better than it is. If he's doing this and working full time yeah that's rough but otherwise? Nah
@kaishedan37 I can't help but feel as though you didn't actually read my comment because I specifically commented on the possibility that he doesn't do it for a living, and I never even said I was frustrated with the fact that he did. I said that if he can do this for a living, he's lucky to get to do what most of us only dream of getting to. And the fact of the matter is the reason I don't do this for a living is because I DO have a job that takes up the majority of my time.
@@probablynotdanny4384 Okay, I get what you’re saying, but he specifically stated that it’s taking a toll on his mental health.

It doesn’t matter if you think it’d be better for you, clearly for him, it’s not as easy as it would be for you.
@@probablynotdanny4384 i mean i think OP's point is that we like seeing this guy's content and that if a trick seems impossible or a complete pain to learn we can agree that "its possible but i cant quite get it right so lets see past that and see where the run goes anyway" is a very fair excuse when you wanna push a game to its limits, not yourself
in an alternate universe where link is not the chosen one and he does not learn to command the winds, he instead has to swim backwards at mach speed and teleport a bunch of times to even get halfway through his journey. not to mention spending 17 hours teleporting onto a doorframe and placing a bomb down on top of it, hoping the bomb would push him through to the opposite side... which it eventually does.
This is even funnier when you remember that, technically this Link isn't a chosen one. KotRL says so when he says "he's not related to the hero of legend". And it's the reason why you have to collect the Triforce of Courage shards. That makes this buggy run even more canon and awesome: you aren't a chosen hero. You are just a kid, willing to break the laws of physics, just to save your sister from and evil, sketchy wizard, that's kidnapping young girls for reasons you really don't want to dwell on.
Yoo I KNEW superswim was gonna be at play here, it's bizarre how much speedrunners can break the sequence of the game, Love gymnast and Linkus they are goats
Just as a reminder, the windwaker is not the wind. It would have been fully in the spirit of the challenge to use storage for superswimming. The manual part of the manual superswim is part of the name for a reason and not needed if you can reach Dragonroost.
I think it’s fair for not doing really MSS and assume you can do it but since it’s very hard and you don’t specially want to be a Speedrun, just pass to something else. I like this mindset.
49:30 You got the hookshot, and saving and loading reverted the master sword to its fully powered-up state, so you could've just went straight to Ganon's Castle and beat the game right there.
he already specified he was seeing both dungeons to completion for the sake of the challenge being more interesting. if you watched the video fully, you would know this.
"Can it be done by just a regular guy in a boat?" Yes, actually, because the Wind Waker _is_ just a normal guy. He's not possessed of the Spirit of the Hero. He doesn't reincarnate like the heros of the child and doomed timeline.
and change the ..... direction to East est north south and beat the Temple took hookshot and plucked Ganondorf's head who then said, "hehe, the. is blowing..."
Came in expecting a fun and crazy challenge run of Wind Waker with tons of extra-slow cruising and wild speedrun tricks. I did not expect to get an emotion-packed motivational pep talk about not giving up and shooing away negative feelings of failure along with that sweet Undertale music that genuinely cheered me up and improved my mood and made me want to share this to others just so they can hear it. Also getting in trouble with my family because I was watching this at night and the "Dude, where's Makar" joke made me laugh so hard it woke them up.
I was blown away when you released this vid and now I'm watching it again in sheer awe of the dedication and accomplishment here. I truly can't fathom the persistence you had to have in order to research all the tricks and routes for this feat, let alone attempt to execute them and work around the unexpected obstacles that popped up throughout. Well done you absolute madman!
That little speech in the middle of the video both made me subscribe and feel that sudden urge to get my life together. Awesome work, dude. Keep keepin’ on!
I can just imagine the dread you must have felt when you saw the roll clip at the same angle and doorframe setup as the bomb clip. Loved this video! Very glad you wound up in my recommendeds.
This was such an incredible effort and amazing to watch. Throws me back to when I was a kid and didn't realise you could use the sail and cruised to Dragonroost myself until a friend in the playground told me at school the following day
Take care of yourself as you need to chief I hope thinkgs get easier for you asap mate Your work has been a godsend coping with some pretty scary medical stuff being thrown around this year
Man, I love Wind Waker and I adore silly challenges, this was just heavenly! Nice job on the speedrunning tricks, too, you had those down super well there! The item sliding was looking absolutely masterful by the end there. AND YOU HAVE PIKMIN VIDEOS TOO?!? Thank goodness UA-cam decided I needed to see this Wind Waker video!
A long long time ago, I had a version of the Legend of Zelda Anniversary collection for the Nintendo GameCube. It had all the mainline games up to Majora's Mask, and a 20-minute limited demo of Wind Waker. You could start at three points: The Forsaken Fortress, Windfall Island, and Dragon Roost Cavern. The first time I played this game, I started on Windfall. I got in my boat, decided to aim toward that strange arrow on the back of my trusty vessel....and mashed every button on the controller. The sail was not equipped automatically, and I was a dumb kid who didnt know what a Pause menu was, so when I find you can make the ship go forward holding R, I thought that was the only way to go. The whole first 20 minutes of my Wind Waker experience was spent slowly trudging my way across the ocean. I didn't even reach Paw Print Isle before my time was up and it booted me back to the game select screen. No, I wasn't going in a straight line. I went to play Majora's Mask instead. I fared a lot better there.
Well done! learning those tricks looked like a pain in the ass, respect for pulling through. Must be an amazing feeling to pull of the famous barrier skip!
Press A: can you beat the game without wind? Me, having watched speedruns of this game for over ten years: yes. With so much less than wind too, actually
The games I played as a baby are really reducing grown men to quivering messes, who are put into an existential crisis that forces them to grapple with complex emotions for the first time in their lives.
This video was really entertaining as the other videos please keep this qualitiy of the videos and huge respect to all the difficult challenges you did and probably will do.
It's funny how many challenge videos almost instantly get an insanely humanly-difficult roadblock/inevitable stop that prevents a pure run. I'm very happy that the common cencensus is "I know, but... just ignore that bit." cause we still get an abundance of interesting tricks after.
Ganondorf’s final words (“The wind… it is blowing…”) go from a sardonic lament at his own inability to change fate to a curse upon this challenge run, since Link uses the wind to sail away from Outset in the post credits scene.
Im not that far into the video yet but its super fun to see someone using speed running glitches even though youre not a speedrunner. I like that you explain it so I can actually understand it haha. Great video!
40:47 my guy. I know its a week old. But the gods of Olympus must have been watching over me. I needed to hear that message. Take my sub. And thank you
I didn't expect the heart-felt speech about determination and pushing aside self-defeating thoughts. But it was appreciated and genuinely inspirational. 😊
When I first played Wind Waker, I didn't like the art style very much, but over the years it really grew on me and while I no longer have a functional GameCube (the GameCube works, the controllers all simultaneously died, or the controller port did), Wind Waker and Twilight Princess are therapy games for me that I go back to and 100% just to enjoy everything again.
I didn't know you were supposed to use the deku leaf on the moth lmfao i just always jump attacked it. Also how do you only have 50k subs i feel like ur videos are always popping up on my feed and theyre pretty high quality. Keep it up man!
The crazy thing about doing a manual superswim without pause buffering is that not only do you have to be fast enough to change direction at 30fps, *you can’t go over.* You have to do it at a near-perfect 30fps. If you do it too fast, you may end up getting polled after changing direction twice instead of once, and then your speed gets capped and you lose the superswim. The amount of control you need to have to maintain a consistent 30fps input is absolutely crazy.

This was such an incredible effort and amazing to watch. Throws me back to when I was a kid and didn't realise you could use the sail and cruised to Dragonroost myself until a friend in the playground told me at school the following day
Take care of yourself as you need to chief
I hope thinkgs get easier for you asap mate
Your work has been a godsend coping with some pretty scary medical stuff being thrown around this year
Man, I love Wind Waker and I adore silly challenges, this was just heavenly! Nice job on the speedrunning tricks, too, you had those down super well there! The item sliding was looking absolutely masterful by the end there.
AND YOU HAVE PIKMIN VIDEOS TOO?!? Thank goodness UA-cam decided I needed to see this Wind Waker video!
A long long time ago, I had a version of the Legend of Zelda Anniversary collection for the Nintendo GameCube. It had all the mainline games up to Majora's Mask, and a 20-minute limited demo of Wind Waker. You could start at three points: The Forsaken Fortress, Windfall Island, and Dragon Roost Cavern. The first time I played this game, I started on Windfall. I got in my boat, decided to aim toward that strange arrow on the back of my trusty vessel....and mashed every button on the controller. The sail was not equipped automatically, and I was a dumb kid who didnt know what a Pause menu was, so when I find you can make the ship go forward holding R, I thought that was the only way to go.
The whole first 20 minutes of my Wind Waker experience was spent slowly trudging my way across the ocean. I didn't even reach Paw Print Isle before my time was up and it booted me back to the game select screen. No, I wasn't going in a straight line.
I went to play Majora's Mask instead. I fared a lot better there.
Well done! learning those tricks looked like a pain in the ass, respect for pulling through. Must be an amazing feeling to pull of the famous barrier skip!
> fun Wind Waker challengen
> look inside
> manual superswim, barrierskip and zombiehover
Press A: can you beat the game without wind?
Me, having watched speedruns of this game for over ten years: yes. With so much less than wind too, actually
The games I played as a baby are really reducing grown men to quivering messes, who are put into an existential crisis that forces them to grapple with complex emotions for the first time in their lives.
"a mechanic so important its in the game's title"
me: "HD!"
TldW :
"Oh no, I can't do this without wind... Glitch 1 : dud, glitch 2 : dud, glitch 3 : oh it works. Carrie on to next part..."
Over and over.
So just a Speedrun? Lmao good job with the skips and the makar joke i can't believe i laughed at that
Technically, you couldve just went to ganon right when you got the hookshot XD
This whole thing was just crazy, and it's amazing for it. I've seen several of your videos, too! Why haven't I just subscribed already?!
This video was really entertaining as the other videos please keep this qualitiy of the videos and huge respect to all the difficult challenges you did and probably will do.
That was quite entertaining. Thanks for all the effort.
Actually criminal this video is not more popular. This was an amazing video !
8:50 you mean pausa buffering right?
The dude where my car joke was amazing 😂
>oh, is it time for super swim already?
>"manual super swim"
my man, who hurt you
For the run and the puns have a sub. You've earned it!
No way you just beat The Legend of Zelda: The ____ Waker
Sidling behind the stone at 54 minutes: what is this, A Link Between Worlds?
"Now, we all know the hero of winds can save the world, but what about a normal boy?" Proceeds to break the fabric of reality at every oppurtunity
Breaking news: Local islander refuses to use his sail to travel the world.
Now beat Ocarina of Time without the Ocarina of Time
Playing Undertale music while explaining barrier skip was so perfect
I demand more zelda related challenges!! Haha good video.
Be sure to take care of yourself. I really enjoyed the video as well.
“Medolee”
And the section where you changed to “Melody”
😩 truly grating
It's funny how many challenge videos almost instantly get an insanely humanly-difficult roadblock/inevitable stop that prevents a pure run. I'm very happy that the common cencensus is "I know, but... just ignore that bit." cause we still get an abundance of interesting tricks after.
I got a great chuckle at the joke @50:55 . I was not expecting that punchline XD
40:42 YEAH!!!!! MOTIVATIONAL SPEECH!!!! 41:30 Oh. I burst out laughing at that 🤣
Ganondorf’s final words (“The wind… it is blowing…”) go from a sardonic lament at his own inability to change fate to a curse upon this challenge run, since Link uses the wind to sail away from Outset in the post credits scene.
Im not that far into the video yet but its super fun to see someone using speed running glitches even though youre not a speedrunner. I like that you explain it so I can actually understand it haha. Great video!
40:47 my guy. I know its a week old. But the gods of Olympus must have been watching over me. I needed to hear that message. Take my sub. And thank you
48:52 when it floats down!
it floats down
Okay bro you didn't need to get so motivational all of a sudden, I'm here for it but damn.
I didn't expect a challenge run video to be inspirational.
This just in, casual comes up with difficult challenge. Must complete all the current speedrun strats to finish. What a mad lad!
I didn't expect the heart-felt speech about determination and pushing aside self-defeating thoughts. But it was appreciated and genuinely inspirational. 😊
That Undertale music literally fits everywhere, as does the Super Mario Odyssey music right after
Pressing R in the boat gives King of Red Lions compliments and his rudder wags.
Speed bb.
I'm amused by the deterioration of Medli's name over time. "Medli. Meddely. Melody." XD
This might be my favorite of your videos
When I first played Wind Waker, I didn't like the art style very much, but over the years it really grew on me and while I no longer have a functional GameCube (the GameCube works, the controllers all simultaneously died, or the controller port did), Wind Waker and Twilight Princess are therapy games for me that I go back to and 100% just to enjoy everything again.
I didn't know you were supposed to use the deku leaf on the moth lmfao i just always jump attacked it. Also how do you only have 50k subs i feel like ur videos are always popping up on my feed and theyre pretty high quality. Keep it up man!
The crazy thing about doing a manual superswim without pause buffering is that not only do you have to be fast enough to change direction at 30fps, *you can’t go over.* You have to do it at a near-perfect 30fps. If you do it too fast, you may end up getting polled after changing direction twice instead of once, and then your speed gets capped and you lose the superswim. The amount of control you need to have to maintain a consistent 30fps input is absolutely crazy.
This was really awesome and impressive. Good job Mr. A
