What percentage of your audience is male? No judgment, just, as a woman, I've noticed like 95% of your ads are for manscaped lol. Which like I don't care, but I guess manscaped isn't exactly expecting your audience to have many women since they'd be wasting their time maybe? oh well! I love your content and I wonder how many other people subscribed to your channel are women?
Barrier skip technique: First go like thiiiis, spin around STOP, double take 3 times. Then pelvic thrusts! Stop on your right foot, don't forget it! Then bring it around tooooown, then this and this then this then that and theeeen...you're through.
Still, I think it's pretty amazing they managed to find a pattern to get this glitch working that quickly. I remember when barrier skip was first discovered, everyone knew it was completely possible to do on a TAS, and everybody was looking for a way to set the glitch faster for humans. I think it took at least 25-30 mins. of just horsing arround to maybe get it to work.
I thought it funny that using tingle tuner in restricted areas was found like ten years ago, but nobody seen the dudes post lmao. No speedrunners, anyways. Reminds me of when I found infinite bomb glitch years ago, and asked narcissa wright if it was known about, and she was just like "I have no clue" lol
Didn't it take like 10-15 years or something to discover the wrong warp glitch used in OoT speedruns? Sometimes people just stumble on things years later, lol.
The craziest part isn't even the new discoveries. It's the unbuffered MSS. That is absurd. 16-20 times per second over a prolonged period of time was thought to be humanly impossible not that long ago, and Linkus is doing it while talking.
It’s funny that rather than just a glitch in the game. The result of “unplugging it and plugging it back in, but twice” was the solution for such a time cut.
I really hope a “barrier skip skip” is discovered at some point. I would hate to see the day where WW is perfected to the point that the only way to save time on a run is to drop the setups entirely
7:30 I still think it‘s weird that they didn‘t just play the animation without actually moving Link‘s hitbox. 22:50 So that means if someone for SOME reason was to get that without the setup, the run would be essentially dead?
All games are held together by toothpicks and glue. Likely instead of both Link's model and hitbox being relative to a shared game object origin, the collision is relative to Link's model, thus moving the model also moves the hitbox.
This is awesome! I love how more glitches get discovered as time goes on. Hopefully they find a way to do storage in wind Waker hd to do faster speed runs. Apparently it can be done in the helmaroc king boss fight if Link defeats it with a bomb and starts zombie hovering which will have him controllable while the boss defeat cutscene plays, but Link needs to be underneath rocks in the arena to take out a bomb and upon exploding the bomb will drop a heart, and after recovering Link now has storage and can do camera lock in HD. But that’s the only use of it in the HD version, and I think if Link spams the wind Waker during the Ganondorf boss fight while Zelda is trying to talk to him it can also give storage, but so far those are the only ways to activate storage in the HD version.
Fantastic video and super interesting glitches. Your explanations were super helpful. I look forward to watching your world record run when you get it.
I love that even with a few dozen dedicated speedrunners and glitch hunters, most discoveries in even a super popular game just happen from the sheer number of people playing. Even something with a one in a million chance will happen a few hundred times.
Have you tried unplugging it and plugging it back in? My goodness, that is one of the funniest glitches I have ever seen. Can't go wrong with good old basic IT solutions.
While fascinating to see these glitches and stuff and how busted they can be, this sounds like a great way to break controllers really fast as well as wreck your hands and wrists. Then the zombie hovers later have tons of other mashing. Do take care not to ruin your hands with these tricks
Has been for a long time. Could still skip really big sections of gameplay with it in the past. I get what ya mean though, this new stuff is nutty. Also crazy that someone found you could use the tuner in restricted areas ten years ago, but people only recently seen the post. Makes a person wonder what other huge glitches have been found in games that could save huge amounts of time, but they are just sitting on a random gaming forum somewhere that nobody has read
I dont know for sure but most likely it was found using TAS tools to try thousands or millions of possible input chains to find one that works. This has been done for tricks in other games and I think previous tricks in wind waker
Actually not that bad. Once you find the gap you can just use an engine that takes the base movement of the game and tries to find the best and fastest route to achieve that gap. I promise you if wind waker actually had a few million in its speed running community with technology now days I bet this isn’t even close to the end of glitches. What you should really be asking is how the hell did someone find out that thing about the tingle tuner 10 years ago.
@@colinbrown7947I was love to know what a Tas time is of this route. Isn’t it crazy to think twilight princess has been 100% optimized but wind waker hasn’t
so somebody found out, through looking at the code, that there was a singular pixel gap in the barrier. found out, through tas + code searching, that there is a range (i wanna say its a 7 number variable) of angles to break through that one pixel wall then, we found out that taking out bombs and dropping them on different frames does different things (you can try this on your own - pressing B with a bomb held can drop it forward or backward, or rather, in front of link or behind him) so they (trog, mini, maybe gymnast, probably linkus) discovered theres a particular frame you can drop the bomb on to push you through the one pixel gap provided your (1 of 6) angles is correct as for the slash pushing us through, its a speed thing 😂 you can get through the barrier by "running" past the gap, or by literally squeezing (the bomb) through it. sword slash is the "running" version of it.
It's not pre-rendered, the game just gives you the Master Sword and Mirror Shield during this cutscene if you don't already have them. (Edit: Linkus mentions this at 30:56)
The new barrier skip instructions sound like when you're in elementary school and that one kid on the playground is explaining how to shoot a 3 pointer on the basketball hoop.
whats with the webcam jumpcuts? at multiple points you act like you're playing the run we're watching, complete with controller mashing sounds, but the cuts in the webcam never coincide with cuts in the gameplay, timer, or live chat
The year is 2024. The ancient king of evil has been defeated by a nose, a leaf, and the services of a little green man who isn't allowed within 500 feet of a school or playground.
Daaaamn what would past linkus have said, while doing morph shenanigans, that this would be possible. 😂 Good Job linkus, great Video and good luck for getting the wr! You can do it, u judt gotta beliveeeeee! Greetings Coren! linkusLove
Dude, this is amazing, but hopefully the community can come together and finally agree on the usage of rapid A controllers or something, no? I understand that mashing is a skill, but at this point, running this consistently will actively hurt your health.
does the ganon's tower cutscene after helmaroc get rid of the no clip state link is in? because it would be nice if you were able to keep it so you can skip the barrier by just walking through it with no set up
Requiring a GBA and link cable seems like a high barrier to entry now for this speedrun cause you need more hardware. Also rules out re-releases on newer hardware. Was there uproar over this requirement?

Exactly what I was thinking

Captain America triggered
A man of culture
I literally just said the SAME thing.
So funny how all the old skips were so much more complex because a few relatively simple things weren't discovered yet.
I thought it funny that using tingle tuner in restricted areas was found like ten years ago, but nobody seen the dudes post lmao. No speedrunners, anyways. Reminds me of when I found infinite bomb glitch years ago, and asked narcissa wright if it was known about, and she was just like "I have no clue" lol
How the hell does Linkus always nail every trick while live commentating his own runs in like 1-2 tries. Dude's a monster.
Editing?
Time for a new Summoning Salt video apparently
A new discovery? Today’s a good day happy Halloween Linkus!
indeed
Linkus casually using his nose to buy a red potion with the Tinglevisor while doing zombie hovers got me.
How the hell is wind waker still getting new glitches? Thats mad impressive
We'll never know every glitch a game can have.
We just find more and more as long as anyone keeps testing new things.
As long as people keep playing games, glitches can be found. Look at ACE in OoT
OOT just had a reroute because of a new glitch so this isn't surprising
Didn't it take like 10-15 years or something to discover the wrong warp glitch used in OoT speedruns? Sometimes people just stumble on things years later, lol.
Using your nose to access the tingle shop WHILE zombie hovering all the way up ganon's damn bedroom lmao
You guys are insane in the best way 😂❤
21:21-22:21 New Barrier Skip Tech.
Also 21:21-22:21 How to blow the perfect bubble.

22:50 So that means if someone for SOME reason was to get that without the setup, the run would be essentially dead?
I think it would be theoretically doable without the setup, but the odds of getting is is basically 0
All games are held together by toothpicks and glue. Likely instead of both Link's model and hitbox being relative to a shared game object origin, the collision is relative to Link's model, thus moving the model also moves the hitbox.
Its wild that the only sequence of the entire game that gets played now is the Ganon fight at the end.
This is awesome! I love how more glitches get discovered as time goes on. Hopefully they find a way to do storage in wind Waker hd to do faster speed runs.

@camo1718 22:06 I legit laughed out loud lol one of the best SpongeBob episodes 👌
Fantastic video and super interesting glitches. Your explanations were super helpful. I look forward to watching your world record run when you get it.
I lost it when he had to use his nose to ready the potion.😂
Link discovers quantum tunneling to skip the barrier
It's crazy how this "speedrun explained" live commentary run is significantly faster than the world record was not too long ago.
I love that even with a few dozen dedicated speedrunners and glitch hunters, most discoveries in even a super popular game just happen from the sheer number of people playing. Even something with a one in a million chance will happen a few hundred times.

Happy Halloween Linkus and everyone!! 🎃👻🦇
You too!
dude that pixel perfect setup is CRAZY, speedrunners are just a different species bro
That barrier skip was very SpongeBob “spin around… stop double take three times… 1… 2… 3…”
30:39 It's a chivalrous run, no need to slap Zelda's ass anymore!
Who would have guessed that the frickin' _tingle tuner_ would be the most powerful item in the game?
Has been for a long time. Could still skip really big sections of gameplay with it in the past. I get what ya mean though, this new stuff is nutty. Also crazy that someone found you could use the tuner in restricted areas ten years ago, but people only recently seen the post.

Tingle would, haha
It makes sense given how you can instantly get stuff like bombs and potions for a few rupees.
"did you do it?" "Yes" "What did it cost?" "thousands to deal with my carpal tunnel"
Yo Wind Waker is my favorite speedrun! I can't believe they found new stuff!
Love to always see you post windwaker 😊 grew up with this game
been waiting for this video for like a week now 🙏 watched both of minis 😂
1:00 hands where we can see them sir, no funny business. 🤨
More discoveries??? This is awesome
how does one find those series of actions to get through the barrier because that was a KOF combo level of complicated
I dont know for sure but most likely it was found using TAS tools to try thousands or millions of possible input chains to find one that works. This has been done for tricks in other games and I think previous tricks in wind waker

19:27 WAIT A MINUTE!! PRE-RENDERED CUTSCENE!!!! Link has a tunic and shield in it!!!!
Yes? There are glitches that take advantage of this for the Master Sword Fully Powered Early
It's not pre-rendered, the game just gives you the Master Sword and Mirror Shield during this cutscene if you don't already have them.
(Edit: Linkus mentions this at 30:56)
The performance of the new barrier skip looks like Spongebob teaches Squiddward the bubble blow technique

all the new glitches are amazing, what a year for TWW
Tingle Tuner my beloved, good to see it finally get some much deserved attention
22:10 AND BRING IT AROOOUND TOWN
Dude I was doing the water speed glitch like this when I got the game I just never went for long enough to think it did anything
Love watching ur videos!
insane, the barrier skip blew me away
These new finds are insane wow.
Dang, Wind Waker speedrunners have got to be really good at Mario Party minigames now thanks to that initial pauseless super swim practice.
21:20 technique on how to blow a bubble

Greetings Coren! linkusLove
I watched this on UA-cam and I did enjoy the video.
Can’t believe this game’s time keeps improving
16 to 20 inputs per second in a back-and-forth motion? Teenage me prepared for this.
By playing Guitar Hero on Expert. Trembalo strumming ftw
The barrier skip setup sounds like old hoax instructions to find the Triforce in OoT.
Wow this speed run is amazing now
SPOILER BLOCKER 🚫🚫🚫
I'm helping to make this the top comment
Keep this TOP
@@tedchang9834How?
@@Kosmokraton probably by liking it
THANK YOU
That was amazing execution
Happy Halloween linkus
The process to get through the barrier is the same as how Spongebob blows bubbles.
Happy Halloween
The nose tech was impressive.
hearing the wind waker on the gamecube version (ive never played it, but ive played hd), it sounds so weird
What a treat my sleep schedule is so broken, that i can watch this video at 2 a.m 😂
Here's a memorial to all the Gamecube controller components that perish early because they are subject to daily manual super swims
LINKUS7 UPLOADED POG
Cant wait for the eventual start menu glitch that just rolls credits
@1:15 sure, thats what you are doing
Jesus it’s 2024. This game came out 22 years ago and they’re still finding major glitches???
Is Wind Waker now the community preferred speedrun over HD now that it's been developed further?
hot damn! we have come so far!!! this is crazy!
Dude, this is amazing, but hopefully the community can come together and finally agree on the usage of rapid A controllers or something, no? I understand that mashing is a skill, but at this point, running this consistently will actively hurt your health.
I remember when Barrier Skip was the discovery.
does the ganon's tower cutscene after helmaroc get rid of the no clip state link is in? because it would be nice if you were able to keep it so you can skip the barrier by just walking through it with no set up
the real question is, how does this affect the all keys speedrun
Under an HOUR, baby!
No one is going to ask what the dude 10 years ago was doing? Dude must have thought his tingle tuner was just broken or something
10:00 to skip to the new stuff
Why didn't this was discovered long time ago you can just simply do sword slash with pause
If I got a nickel every time Linkus explained how Super Swim works/happens, I'd have a lot of nickels.
FLASHING IMAGES WARNING
i need a pic of linkus with a mustache
new summoning salt video when 👀
Inb4 Nintendo fires up the GC disc presses just to patch that out.
For real though, I'm so glad that's not a thing.
Is Linkus going to become super strongman on one arm again going for the wr?
due that's huge
sub 1h always has been real
I like wind waker
Requiring a GBA and link cable seems like a high barrier to entry now for this speedrun cause you need more hardware. Also rules out re-releases on newer hardware. Was there uproar over this requirement?
LETS GOOOOOOOO
Do you think another category split is going to happen because of this route?
Every 6 Month nobody:
Linkus: A GAMEBREAKING GLITCH On wind waker xDDD
Oh wow guess I'm getting into ww
this speedrun is so unhinged lol
SPOOKY WIND WAKER
ScottFalco is going to have to make a new UA-cam video
Love wind waker❤️
Has linkus given up on all dungeons?
no more ganon cutscene skip or did he just not do it for the demonstration?
I’m early?!? Crazy! Love watching ur videos!!
So does this now make any and low percent the same thing?
