I feel like this is the dawn of a new age of speedrunning. No longer is it enough to just memorize glitches and routes. Now the runners have to think on their feet, be ready for the complete unknown that may be lurking in every chest. It is only for the bravest of speedrunners, that is for sure. Now THIS is a sport!
@@Aidan-se8yk Bokagoofy said "this is a sport". I took that to mean that they really liked the immediate competition aspect of it, just as most sports focus on players performing at the same time. In a randomiser, an overall world record means a lot less, and how you do against opponents in the same random conditions means more. In most sports, competitors are rarely thinking about world records; they are thinking about how they will do against their opponent(s) in the moment. In a regular speedrun, players are usually competing only against themselves, striving to beat their own PB. The vast majority of the rest are aiming for that world record.
This new form of speedrunning is so important and will become so big because people that don't even enjoy speedrunning can get MASSIVE enjoyment from seeing the game played like this. There's something about pro's struggling and having to think on the spot of what to do that makes this so enjoyable and refreshing.
Randomizer isn't really viable as a speedrun, but as races I 100% agree. As someone who plays a ton of OoT randos, they're so much fun to both watch and play. I could never get bored.
"I think after this I'm gonna get a fairy, and I'm gonna give it to grandma. Because that will give me soup. And there's a thing you can do called unlimited soup glitch." It kind of sounds like a small child or something. Somehow adorable.
Don't know if you know this, but on the GC version of Wind Waker, you can use your boat as a target in the barrel shooting minigame. You have to park your boat just slightly out of the maps range when fully zoomed in and you'll be able to hit it with the cannon aimed at 18 degrees, and since your boat can't be sunk it'll just count as a point every single time you shoot it. So with that Super Swimming you used to get to Beedle, you could easily get to the island without fear of drowning and just aim for the boat once for each round and just spam the shoot button for an easy win. This is only doable in the GC version, since it was changed to not work in the HD version though. Just wanted to share an interesting tip that might be useful for future speedruns.
It gaves new life to old good games, im happy that randomizers are a thing, especially on Zelda´s Community, when u can see that how good are the games that even in rando, its fun as hell.
I love watching people do them and I've been thinking of playing one. NeoCranium's UA-cam video of him playing a Resident Evil randomizer is by far my favorite so far and I don't even play any of the RE games.
I saw SimpleFlips play an OOT randomizer and thought it looked really fun and tried it myself and so far it’s a blast. It’s like a scavenger hunt on steroids that pushes your game knowledge to the limit.
yeah because it tests someones knowledge of a game more than a speedrun speedruns are cool but they more evolved into a few people routing and most people just learning the tricks while in a randomizer you need to have complete knowledge of what you need for every little thing
I really like how he had the stream set up, all the things he had off to avoid spoilers while also having it set up that he’d still be able to stay involved with the donations/subs
I personally dont think people are crazy just because they talk to themselves. I talk to myself when nobody else is around so I feel like there’s someone with me. Feel free to call me cray because I probably am.
I'll be honest I found it real funny when he only payed about 250 rupees for the letter and got a PIECE OF THE TRIFORCE. That's a deal ganon would kill for
towards the end of the run I think he was getting tired and running out of things to talk to. he even said around 7 hours in would be a slower/less interesting part of the run. plus, he's a little awkward. i do think he's genuinely flabbergasted by the amount people are donating and subscribing. by 7:33:00, he'd received 44,444, which is about $444 in one stream. i think he's pretty stunned, on top of the fact someone gifted 20 subs not long before that. he seems like a genuine and thankful guy.
Watched both in the BG. Gymnast just chillin' and playing while the only thing that calms this kid's ADHD is money. Thanks chat, that made this guy bearable.
Am I the only one that has tested out bidding 999 rupees on the auction? You literally get the item immediately because the auctioneer says that nobody can bid higher.
No worries. I also bid 998 at one point to see if anyone would bid 999, but nobody did. So it's just a long awkward silence for the entire auction if you bid 998
I was here live. The chat was memeing all the time, as always, didn't even care about the run for the most part. It was a blast, both the run and the chat. Also, GG Linkus aswell as Gym !
@@Wolfygirl97 yeah it is. idk it's still fun if you can let go of that a little and just be cringey with everyone else lol. edit; btw im not talking about bad cringe, i meant innocent cringe that doesn't hurt anyone
49 players all spawn, one on each main island. The cyclones carry them away if they try to escape the storm. Who will achieve the ultimate winning winning royale?
Hey Linkus, I just want to say that this kind of speedrun is very entretaining, I hope you can make more races like that. My english is a litle rusted, sorry for any inconvenience.
I really wish that more LoZ games would make it so that if you couldn't carry anymore rupees that the one you pick up would stay in the chest for you to pick up later.
I can appreciate Nintendo for at least having the decency to make the magic bar 5 hearts long and enhanced magic bar 10 hearts so it doesn’t look bad when you have 10 and it makes it look like a lot of hearts with basic magic
These runs can be pretty tough to an average Joe if you don't know how to get or find every item possible in the game, you really need to know everything inside out to make it possible to complete if you are are doing 100%. Unless you use the randomizer Item marker which also has a map that shows what you can actually you do with the items you have, so you can see if you can do other things in the game but you want a challenge don't use it (;

I couldnt help but notice you never (that i saw) swung your skull hammer horizontally? Most notably when you took on the bomb rat submarine early one? Why not?

@LinkusSpeedrun Your Motherboard USB problem might just be a windows feature! I had the same problem. Look up and disbale a windows feature called "USB Selective Suspend". Its a terrible "feature" meant to save power but it basically just disables USB devices at random.
I had fallen asleep while watching this, and then at 5:30:24 you abruptly woke me up with your huge outburst. I had to come turn it off because you wouldn't stop saying OH MY GOD lmao
Man, the skull hammer should crush those darknuts even through the armour! That's the purpose of a warhammer, LOL. Also, before 2:30:00 when you get the sword......... what the actual fuck dude
Im glad you getting tonnes of support but no, not wait, yes, you got some bits, no, n.. no, stop waiting, yes it we.. YES it went up. Yes its more than last time! Dude i get its great but the last half of this video is just "wait" "whats happening" "oh my god" on repeat for several hours xD
@@snrken try watching all 8+ hours, specifically the last few hours. Gameplay fantastic, pretending to be shocked that people are donating however made me want to cry
this is not a speedrun category, it's just something people do for fun. the randomizer is a mod for the game. Linkus and Gymnast decided to race each other to complete the game the fastest. how this randomizer race works: just about everything is randomized, the only rule is that treasure charts don't lead to other treasure charts, as far as I understand it. the randomizer guarantees that any playthrough can be completed. the goal of an 100% randomizer is to collect every single progression item (indicated by the menu on screen; this includes all melodies), Tingle statue (these are tracked in game) and chart (treasure, triforce and other, these are tracked in game), then beat the game. this race starts with the following items: sail, Wind Waker, Wind's Requiem (melody), Ballad of Gales (melody), Song of Passing (melody), and regular shield.
I dont think they will make it for switch, as they have already made a HD version for the Wii u. However, it is possible they will make skyward sword HD for the switch, though unlikely
