Soviet Squidward BotW2 is a good thing because we still have BotW to enjoy and plus, I bet it won’t take long for people to find another set of tricks to make that it’s own awesome thing.
MarMax Gaming its just the fact that these are so easy to do Nintendo being Nintendo is going to take these features and patch them and are going to put more big patches to make this stuff a lot harder.
Soviet Squidward I know what you mean, but the most intense of people have been breaking 3D games for the longest time as early as a million ways in Mario 64 or Zelda OOT, all of the others, and even in major GameCube titles.. plus all the other Xbox and Sony communities have their glitches and exploits too.. people will just keep breaking it - but I know what you’re saying, the sequel would be better if it didn’t patch these things bc they’re so complex to begin with and simply won’t really happen on accident, they should just leave them in there.
first time i have liked a video, all the other tutorials have barely any dialogue and are just saying what buttons to press, not when to press them, i really like how you actually put effort into this, i become a pro at wind bombs in barely an hour. thanks, you a G
Thank you so much for posting the guide as promised in the stream the other day! I am azazsd from the stream and i just wanted to say i really appreciated the advice and that you put out this video so fast!
„There are a lot of inputs that need to happen really fast. It will be very hard at first.” Super Smash Bro’s Melee wave-shine veterans:” I’ll be the judge of that.”
Dude thanks so much! I picked up all three methods in about an hour and a half. Your videos do an excellent job of explaining WHY to do a method a certain way, instead of just saying to do something.
this man is a lendgend FOR EXPLAINING HOW THE ANGLES ON THE COMPASS CAN RUIN YOUR JUMP, you dont know how many tutorials just tell you button inputs. WHich leads t people picking bad angle to jump at. once i started looking at the cardinal directions all i have to learn was how to go from bomb place to bullet time and now its as easy as pie
You did a great job explaining the mechanics of how this works, once I realized that you're pushing the front bomb into you I could tell what I was doing wrong
Ok, Lim, just had to say thank you for this tutorial. I just successfully performed three wind bombs. Honestly weren’t as hard as I feared. Thanks, bro.
I am most consistent with fronthop, my strategy with it is using an ancient shield++ and as soon as the shield part goes away, I drop the square bomb. edit: 4/5 tries with front hop are successful, I no longer need the visual handicap of the ancient shield. I also get 2/5 of my midairs now. I honestly gave up trying the back flip method because it's slower and I can just fronthop basically anywhere with a slope.
After watching this video I FINALLY get it. Jeepers it's actually pretty easy! I was just getting them dead angles doing the front hop.. now I'm flying all over the place!
theres also a strategy with cryonis that has to do with the cryonis shield super-jump thing (dont know official name for it) where when you jump off cryonis with ur shield, unequip the shield and immediately go into rune and place a bomb then go into bullet time and pl;ace the other bomb. (similar to front hop method), could be used at the outro at 28:40
After hours of trying, I couldn't get the backflip method to work, so I tried the front hop and glider methods, and I got both on first try. Backflip is by far the hardest. I've never messed up a front hop or glider windbomb (I've been doing these a lot recently.) Backflip is sooo hard!!
I had tried doing wind bombs with just seeing others do them and had failed but after watching this i got it FIRST TRY!! It was probably luck or my already existing capabilities to do fast inputs but this guide helped like a switch turning on my ability to wind bomb Edit: i have tried again and can confirm it was luck
I actually learned to do midairs just from watching pointcrow and just plain common sense with the timing- I’ve only been playing for about half a month
For those of you looking to cheese shrines, if you fail a windbomb the first time, MAKE SURE that both bombs get blown up. There is no greater pain than having muscle memory do the inputs, and then you see the first bomb explode behind you and have the second one blow up in the distance. Then you fall into lava/abyss. Edit: If you hold the d-pad up button, you can see if the bomb is on the field if the rune icon is flashing.
@@LCBChef18 there are no patches... This game doesn't get updates anymore. Btw doing BIL or wind bombs with set up methods are ez. Failing instills lots of disbelief that it works. Wind bomb are hard at first, but it get easier with practice and rage. Though doing this with a front hop without ZL aka running and jumping forward without using the shield button/sprint jumping forward normally is much harder. This method does work, but its up to the player if they can time it right.
For some reason i cant get my fronthop method to work, both of my bombs blow up or they just put me in ragdoll please help. Yes i tried the north orientaion. Edit: nvm i got it i was doing it wrong. For people who are aslo having trouble, all you have to do is jump as soon as you take your feet of the ground you place your round bomb so at the climax of your jump your heigher than the round bomb, then after you place your bomb you go into bullet time by tapping and go to your runes keep tapping it to make sure your feet extend and place your square bomb in the proper direction. You switch to you round bomb and detonate. Make sure you detonate right after you place your square bomb.
I found out how to windbomb off a motorbike or horse. It's a weird explanation so ask questions if you have them. Jump off the bike, and at the peak of the jump, L then ZR instantly. Wait for a bit, then place square bomb and blow up round bomb. Edit: I've done some more experimenting and you want to press L after Link is two-thirds to the peak of his jump.
I avoided this video for a while because I couldn't take the thumbnail seriously, but honestly this was a great video. I like that you took the time to show more of the details around trouble shooting your attempts. I previously learned to do the back jump wind-bombs, but with your tutorial I was able to perform the forward jump wind-bomb withing 10 attempts. Thanks Limcube.
There's also a variation on the midair windbomb that I learned from reddit where you drop both bombs level with each other but spaced a bit away and have Link slightly below the bombs' height and slightly ahead of the second bomb. This gets you insane horizontal movement at the cost of it not letting you fly upwards much if at all. This way you can actually fly through the lost woods and straight into the Master Sword area without having to deal with the lost woods gimmick.
I actually thought that's how you were supposed to do mid air windbombs then I saw this video and thought: "Wait so I was doing them wrong the whole time?"
this is VERY helpful, i've been practicing these for a while and never could get the front hop consistent, and this tutorial is more through than any other i've found :)
This guide helped me so much! Thank you! I wanted to ask though, you mentioned you had a tutorial on lag induction to go faster, but I cant find it on your channel. I've searched for such a tutorial for a while now, is there maybe somewhere else that I can find it?
who else during the video was going like, are you a robot, then after trying it out for your self oh I can get this down in 10. edit :about a day later, FINNALY A FRONT FLIP WIND BOMB. that took me longer then i want to admit.
Came to this video tonight after watching your stream today and I can say I'm not disappointed at all. I've been meaning to learn how to do this for months but it has been quite an intimidating prospect since the trick looks so hard! But I have managed to get a few backflip windbombs and a handful of front flip ones done this evening and am so so glad I tried. I can't wait to improve my skills and try a speedrun for the first time!
I get so damn frustrated trying to do the front hook method because I'll think I've figured it out and cant do one at all after trying several times UGH
You posted this a month ago so ist guess you figured it out already. What in was doing wrong: my fronthop was actually done without holding the shield. Morever I wasn't able to place the first bomb in a way, that it stayed more or less on the ground, but floated mid air almost behind me. It's all about the speed you are tapping the buttons. Use your left middlefinger for holding ZL, (let the camera angle showing downwards, helped me a lot for some reason) hover with your left index finger over the L button. Also hover with your right index finger over ZR. Press forward and Y and than Immediately after that tap (and only tap, not hold) L and ZR fast in that order (you should let go of ZL here) and than press and hold the up button on the cross pad. Change bomb, let go of the up button and place the second bomb with L and press and hold the up button again fast (you can hear the bomb placed sound and should see the second bomb somewhat transparent floating behind you). Change back to round bombs, let go of the up button and let the first bomb explode. After a few successes you will find your muscle memory for that. It's really easy to do after you figured it out. Also as he said in the video. The direction link is looking is key. You can use the R button so link prepairs for throwing his weapon, adjust the angle while looking on the minimap and focus on where North is (you have to be looking to either N, O, E or W OR exactly between those), than cancel the weapon throwing with B.
@@shuxio5891 i don't really know, since I don't look at Link's feet at all when doing the front hop windbomb. As for the backflip windbomb, I don't like that method. You need a ledge in the right height to do it.
@@shuxio5891 You have to hold Target button / ZL / Shield when performing the wind bomb. Then it will make link's legs straighten out. It isn't required to do it but it helps as a guide.
This is a great video. I don't actually run this game, but I've been playing with windbombs since shortly after they were discovered. I'm so thankful for your explanation about cardinal directions. I had so many fail for no apparent reason, and now I know why. Two things I wanted to ask about: 1. How does the timing differ on wall-kick launches? When you're climbing a wall or tree, and jump off. I can't get those consistently. 2. Do you find the more horizontal mid-air setup useful? It's a lot easier than the higher one you showed here. Thanks for putting out all this great material for the world!
I actually answered my own question. For wall-kicks, it's the same timing as front-hops. Just watch Link's legs for the extension, like you suggested in the video.
When mid air windbombing if you dont delay the first bomb at all and slightly delay the explosion it will cause the bombs to line up in a straight line which gives you incredible speed and allows you to easily do mid air bombs faster
Is it a speed run muscle memory thing to always prepare to throw your weapon? Why does he always do it? Ah now I realise hes just using it to bring up his aim reticle to figure out the angle
A few things which helped me when I practiced fronthop windbomb: 1. Make sure that you jump off the ledge at the last moment, not 0.5~1 step too early. The reason being that you need to trigger bullet time almost as soon as you jump off, and if you jump too early, you will not be off the ledge when you try to activate bullet time. 2. If the direction of the launch doesn't need to be too precise (e.g. casual play), not holding ZL helps improve the success rate of the launch, because now all the buttons are pressed by different fingers (oppose to ZL and L both both pressed by left index finger). Alternatively, I tried to hold ZL with left middle finger and press L with left index finger. It feels a bit weird because of the grip change. 3. A good place to practice might be the Gut Check Rock, or anywhere that has a upward gust of wind near where you jump off. This is so that if you fail and fall down the cliff you can easily ride the wind back up to your launch point. Hope this helps.
Thank You Lim after a long time watching you do wind bomb, like nothing... I finally decided to learn... I've just accomplish by firt one with this tutorial.
I think the patch must have fixed this because I’m doing exactly what’s in the video and he’s not launching, when he does he’s not gliding any faster than normal
How is it that in normal gameplay, I don't even have to think about which buttons to push.. but in the middle of bullet time I CANNOT remember which button is to use the runes lmao
I used this glitch in the mini-game where you have to cover as many meters as possible. I have earned over 1000 rubies and have tried out whether you can fly to Hyrule Castle in this mini game and that really works.
I found out the faster I drop the first bomb after I jump, the more consistently I could land a forward hop wind bomb. It was night and day for me hope it help you also.
Thank you so much for this video! :D Finally mastered FH windbombs. I kept trying to figure out what I was doing wrong -- I was run-jumping instead of front-hopping! I actually pulled it off 3 times run-jumping, but it was nearly impossible to reproduce and range wasn't quite as good. Mastering midair is next!
So when I do fronthop method, Link's legs never actually extend at all so I can't use that as a reference. He stays with both knees bent the entire time, one in front and one behind. is there something I'm doing differently that would cause that?
Thankyou for the guide! Managed to get my first backflip one in around half an hour and it took a bit longer to do the fronthop. (Very proud of myself, I thought it would take longer because I have never been good with quick inputs) Biggest problem at the moment is I get too tense and hold down zr too hard and so my hand hurts a bit. This will probably resolve itself as I become more confident and can do the setups more quickly though. Super awesome to get a better feeling of what the speedrunners I watch are actually doing too.

When's the turn windbomb video?
Thank you for the guide
Thank you!
Limcube du bist doch von Deutschland?
You only need a bomb on screen, but you have to be in bullet time. Not as the bomb explodes
Honestly, even if people are breaking BotW a lot with tricks like this, it helps the game live even longer and healthier with players staying engaged.
If a game is so good that even by glitches gives you actual fun options and let's you create an entire playstyle based on 'em, I'd say that's positive
That’s why I’m a little sad the botw 2 is coming out because we won’t have these awesome glitches
Soviet Squidward BotW2 is a good thing because we still have BotW to enjoy and plus, I bet it won’t take long for people to find another set of tricks to make that it’s own awesome thing.

But it was good that you posted it for the pepole who don't know how to do this :)

After watching this video I FINALLY get it. Jeepers it's actually pretty easy! I was just getting them dead angles doing the front hop.. now I'm flying all over the place!
A tip is you can do them off fallen trees. Ik those are easy to find just fall a tree. So you can even do backflip most everywhere

Fantastic tutorial video! Very nice and thorough!
Dude I did it first try with the backflip method thank you so much
Thanks to you, I just did my first wind bomb!
honestly i find the fronthop method waaay easier than the backflip method
Best wind bomb guide.

Tysm! Learnt in like 2 minutes
I accidentally did this on a shrine and immediately looked up Limcube cause I know you're gonna have some weird mechanic about it already lol

i have like over 450 hours and it took me like an hour to do the front one lol but now i can do it consistent
I can do it about 10 percent of the time

ahhh I hate it when that happens
yeah that's like my new pet peeve
Oh really? Let me see if I can tell if it’s in the field while the rune is flashing. Awesome if that’s true.
Best guide by far. Really explained some of the missteps I had in my setups.

Is it just me or does anyone else find the aerial wind bombs easier to pull off than front hop ones.
On mine, when one bomb blows up and hits another, the other blows up too, am I doing something wrong? I doubt that Wii U versions are different
I think maybe you are exploding the wrong bomb
Actually I can get it very consistently now, I just had wrong timing and did it too soon, It don’t matter what version you use

Thank you for the guide! Without them I would have given up in learning how to run this game
I just love his accent. Anyone know his first language?
Hm
I hope this is a joke
Soda Monkey i think it is german
Omg finally...
I learned all of it in 2 Days, and I get it almost everytime!
Thank you so much!
Lol took me weeks to get it down right.
One cool thing that I found out about backflip windbombs is that you can do them easily from fallen trees!
13:45 and so on, and so fort 😂😂😂 1 zu 1 ich im Englischunterricht hahahah
Bro geht das immer noch hab Kein bock das lernen wenn es nicht geht ?
A few things which helped me when I practiced fronthop windbomb:
1. Make sure that you jump off the ledge at the last moment, not 0.5~1 step too early. The reason being that you need to trigger bullet time almost as soon as you jump off, and if you jump too early, you will not be off the ledge when you try to activate bullet time.
2. If the direction of the launch doesn't need to be too precise (e.g. casual play), not holding ZL helps improve the success rate of the launch, because now all the buttons are pressed by different fingers (oppose to ZL and L both both pressed by left index finger). Alternatively, I tried to hold ZL with left middle finger and press L with left index finger. It feels a bit weird because of the grip change.
3. A good place to practice might be the Gut Check Rock, or anywhere that has a upward gust of wind near where you jump off. This is so that if you fail and fall down the cliff you can easily ride the wind back up to your launch point.
Hope this helps.
"Bomp"
Since Tear of the Kingdom is built off the same engine as Breath of the Wild, I'm really hoping we can still do wind bombs in there.
It depends on whether we'll still have the bombs or not
Thank You Lim after a long time watching you do wind bomb, like nothing... I finally decided to learn... I've just accomplish by firt one with this tutorial.
Mission accomplished..I actually wind bombed from the Great Plateau Tower all the way to the Central Tower.
Very very useful if you do it correctly.
I think the patch must have fixed this because I’m doing exactly what’s in the video and he’s not launching, when he does he’s not gliding any faster than normal
Nope, the game is not being updated anymore and i am on latest versions. Did backflip and fronthop but i am yet to even try mid air
mid air works fine too. They aren’t patched, but just take a bit of practice!
@@chocohouse4147 does it still work bro
@@opneo which version
Yup! And it probably won't be patched, since the game isn't getting any updates
How is it that in normal gameplay, I don't even have to think about which buttons to push.. but in the middle of bullet time I CANNOT remember which button is to use the runes lmao
I used this glitch in the mini-game where you have to cover as many meters as possible. I have earned over 1000 rubies and have tried out whether you can fly to Hyrule Castle in this mini game and that really works.
Thanks. I already knew about wind bombs but I would randomly fail. You helped me by teaching me that there are dead directions.
I still can't do it it's to hard lim
I found out the faster I drop the first bomb after I jump, the more consistently I could land a forward hop wind bomb. It was night and day for me hope it help you also.
I can already do this, but I still come back to watch his explanations and executions for the satisfaction.
Limcube, im new to the speedrunning community for botw, so what is the best controller to use for any type of speedrun. Joycons or Procons?
But there are a lot of types of windbombers
(In one of mine videos, sorry)
I can't be the only one who finds mid-air windbombs way easier than normal ones, right?
Only sad part is 99% sure nintendo knows the glitchs we find and wont be avalible on botw 2
Thank you so much for this video! :D Finally mastered FH windbombs. I kept trying to figure out what I was doing wrong -- I was run-jumping instead of front-hopping! I actually pulled it off 3 times run-jumping, but it was nearly impossible to reproduce and range wasn't quite as good.
Mastering midair is next!
Omg. Is this WTF I'm doing?... Omfg.... Omfg... Omfg....
So when I do fronthop method, Link's legs never actually extend at all so I can't use that as a reference. He stays with both knees bent the entire time, one in front and one behind. is there something I'm doing differently that would cause that?
I’ve had this same issue
Thanks to this vid, Fronthop wind bombs became easier for me
Thanks so much for the in detail guide you just earned a sub.
Does FPS affects the launch? I cannot get it right for some reason
I managed to this with the Bomb+ but it's hard, next time i won't upgrade those to be able to do this much more easier, apparently.
why is it easier with the normal tier ? care to elaborate ?
First try backflip-method already worked! thanks for the nice tutorial! :)
so wait how do you make yourself go up a lot mine kinda goes straight
PogUS
Thankyou for the guide! Managed to get my first backflip one in around half an hour and it took a bit longer to do the fronthop. (Very proud of myself, I thought it would take longer because I have never been good with quick inputs) Biggest problem at the moment is I get too tense and hold down zr too hard and so my hand hurts a bit. This will probably resolve itself as I become more confident and can do the setups more quickly though. Super awesome to get a better feeling of what the speedrunners I watch are actually doing too.
