Hi Linkus! I'm currently writing my thesis about speedrunning and especially about Wind Waker HD, so this video comes just at the right time. Thank you for that!
@@SkySilver2 Yep I did :) My professor really liked it! He had never heard of that phenomenon before, so he was excited about it. I took lots of examples of Linkus and his explanation which really helped a lot. My thesis was about how speed runners use the element of destruction to rewrite the stories and aesthetic of the games in some way!
This isn't your most famous video, nor is it something I cared about. However, I found a glitch playing Wind Waker when I was a kid, and 4 years ago, I looked up Wind Waker glitches to see if anybody else had found it; I checked this video, not expecting much, but I sat through the whole thing. I may not have found anyone who knew about my glitch, but I did find someone who cares about Wind Waker as much as me. I'm watching Linkus still today
@@bcatgamering gymnast86 recently discovered a trick he calls reverse bit magic that manipulates memory in the game to progress. I think it's cut down the any% WR by at least an hour at this point
@@S.R.400 It has actually lowered the any% WR by 2 hours 15 minutes as a result of gymnast finding another part of BiT magic. They can now enter Faron woods in BiT (with the title screen up) which allows them to set a flag to skip from originally opening the Gate of Time to heading straight to the horde/Ghirahim/Demise (saves over another hour)
What the fuck is UA-cam smoking, giving me TWO back to back ads to start off the video... Great commentary by the way, I love the in depth explanations to how these speed runs evolve!
I’d love to see a video that starts “ every so often a trick is found in speed running that changes everything forever this is not one of those tricks but it’s still pretty neat”
Zelda speedruns have a lot of hype discoveries. The skyward sword trick found recently is cool but this will probably remain my favorite trick for a long time.
I love how Skyward Sword is literally going through the same thing right now with Reverse Bit Magic. Just recently saw the run go from 4 hours down to now 2:34. Hope to see that covered in one of these videos.
hey sup with it to the editor. I know the trick, and about encrypted lines, channels, stuff to be fairly compensated for even knowing about considering what I've gone through to obtain the sense of understanding that I've maintained. Considering the density of the value involved i know enough to . *>pinch< back* in response, nothing to be surprised about given an eye for an eye is mentioned with the idea of the statement being taken in as a metaphor. 🎉 20 minutes until 10AM which is 9:40AM which is nine forty in the morning. And this is one of my more favorite instances of transcribing I've made sense of; I've also concluded the same realization of this with that one unbeatable world record because of a glitch that they couldn't replicate because it wasn't a glitch. it's a boast move to display. The embarrassment isn't without reward for as much damage being embarrassed wrongly for the wrong reason/reasons. Remember the movie series the land before time? the lighting and shading and hue and now also saturation; all these different filters under an emulation. One more round of applause to the one who tied that to that just to seemlessly make appear as though the scenario played back on screen was still the same scenario just passing through the made up impossible task. 🎉🎉 this is me asking for help or there isn't enough made up increments in the world to cover up the truth as i tied autotranslation into survive and figured that one to take into account happiness measured with values equalling that of the pain endured and felt, actually. Loved watching all these speedruns, but breathing correctly is more important to me than living with my lack of breath providing me an invader of privacy. My head fucking hurts and so are my feelings. Don't reply to this if you aren't reading this for what it is.
I remember skipping it by accident and yah it was back when i was like 15 playing the game idk if even existed when did it but i have footage i like to believe i was one of the first people to find it even know i did it by accident
Actually, taran van hermet made a really good and probably higher quality video about barrier skip so I recommend his instead. Just look up "taran van hermet barrier skip" on yt and you should find it
Hello there Linkus7: You ever thought of doing other types of videos outside of speedrunning content like giving your opinions on general gaming news? like talking about the potential of oupcoming games that could be possible speed games? or maybe some of the faux caotroversies that are going on with these SJWs? Or maybe top 10 lists? Like top 10 best beginner speed games or top 10 biggest glitches found in speedrunning (i know Barrier Skip would be pretty high up there if not #1)? Hell maybe even something a little more comedic: Top 10 speedrunning fails? Of course that would all be in your own opinion. Could help grow your channel. Just saying man.
So 100% WWHD doesn't care about source requirement like OOT hundo does for items? I'm pretty sure the puppet ganon cutscene isnt the intended source of mirror shield/upgraded master sword.
I just got my channel a month ago and there are 2 games that I found huge skips for and broke barriers for already there are 5 games that I've already beat record for but 2 big time with new strata one of the record was about 8 minutes now with my new strata got down to 3 minutes so beat with new strata it beats old record by 5 minutes and the other is insane with old strats some one beat it in 3 minutes but now with my new strata got it down to less than a minute which is truly insane I can't believe I did that still more time to be shaved off but still really insane for how quickly we beat the barrier there's also another game I broke a barrier for but it's with the same strats which is in some way even more impressive I beat the record by almost a whole minute which is also insane and my other 2 records I beat by about a second can't believe how much I've already done in a short time that I've had this chanel
To be honest im fucked of that i cant buy windwaker hd on the switch, nintendo need to get their shit together and drop twilight princess and skyward sword as well.
7:13 there’s this really cool feature, called a graph
About a month after this video, this skip was finally found in the original Wind Waker.
I love these styles of videos, really draws my interest even though I don't watch speedruns. Nice upload
You and Gymnast have the most interesting speedrun/glitch videos. Your explanations for why or why not they work is awesome.
Hi Linkus! I'm currently writing my thesis about speedrunning and especially about Wind Waker HD, so this video comes just at the right time. Thank you for that!
That is such an interesting topic for a thesis! Did you ever finish it?
@@SkySilver2 Yep I did :) My professor really liked it! He had never heard of that phenomenon before, so he was excited about it.

@@aenigmatice that's super sick nice job!
Linkus: Biggest speedun discovery!
Gymnast: Hold my beer...!
I love the whole story if barrier skip. It’s so precise, but at the same time it’s so rewarding

you really should be made moderator for this game, you are so knowledgeable
In life it’s about who you know, not what you know.
ok Uranus
Idk this new skyward sword crap is pretty bonkers
Details?

"The Biggest Skip in Speedrunning History"
gymnast on skyward sword: hold my beer.
I’d love to see a video that starts “ every so often a trick is found in speed running that changes everything forever this is not one of those tricks but it’s still pretty neat”
Taran Van Hemert from LTT covered it from another perspective 2 years ago. It’s also a piece of art, I encourage everyone to go check it out
I like this video. Reminds me of the golden days when Cosmo posted commentary about historic skips, tricks, and runs.
8:01
Zelda has got an idea !!
8===D~
Now all that’s left is a skip for manual superswim! Great video Linkus :D
i remeber those days with cosmo videos explaining this barrier that we cannot skip yet, i remember trying for hours, good feelings :)
Linkus: biggest skip in speedrunning history
OoT wrong warp: *cries*
Super informative, love you linkus!
I remember when this got discovered, the hype was insane, good times.
the way linkus said it , it almost sounds like nintendo intentionaly put something to make barrier skip into wwhd
pretty good vid linkus!
Glitch hunting has always been fascinating to me, this video is a great thing.
The Legend of the Barrier Skip.
I never realised that linkus has such a silky smooth ASMR voice.
great vid, linkus! keep up the amazing work
Every time Linkus says "impact", take a shot
Love the explanation! Great video!
LINKUS is LEGEND
Nice content bro, kudos.
The minish cap music
Why is it that every time your have a new WR a new skips gets found? xD
What has been found?
This was already in use when he got WR
Zelda speedruns have a lot of hype discoveries. The skyward sword trick found recently is cool but this will probably remain my favorite trick for a long time.
The legend of barrier skip

man, I still remember seeing videos about, like, what would happen if we ever found barrier skip
Insane this infamous barrier is what killed og wind waker runs
I've seen a video really similar to this one but I still gave it a watch!

You get the WR so they gotta flex and figure out barrier skip xD
Actually, taran van hermet made a really good and probably higher quality video about barrier skip so I recommend his instead. Just look up "taran van hermet barrier skip" on yt and you should find it
young Linkus looks like Tom Holland
And history repeated itself yesterday!!!
And now Gymnast with the BiT 75+ Minute timesave on Skyward Sword Any%. 75 minutes plus RBM found a few weeks ago, Essentially cutting Any% in HALF
The first sentence in this Video has Wirtual vibes
Has anyone done a "Count" of how many times Linkus says "Actual/Actually" LMFAO!!!
The barriers did it's job. Kept most speed runners out.
Saving time... Good concept.
linkus >>> Gymnast. Go Sweden!
And Now we got Barrier Skip on GameCube...

0:45 I thought that last split said “Gandalf”
I think that the biggest trick ever will be finding a way to skip the great plateau in botw
awesome video
Wind Waker barrier skip is a better story but I'm more excited about Skyward Sword reverse bit magic.
I love your twitch channel but I didn’t know you had a UA-cam
Linkus could you maybe make a video about sd barrier skip or perhaps even an SD wr progression
Coincidence that this is posted right after song of the hero skip is found in skyward sword?
When are you doing the 3D Zelda Challenge ?
This video is awesome man. You made me really curious about that wr progression graph though and I can't find how to do it! :( Does anyone know?
Go to a game. Click on "statistics" on the left sidebar. Scroll down.
How about zombie hover but this commentary video about barrier skip is really informative so keep up the good work
suddenly theres original ww barrier skip
catchphrase: "Bigger impact"
7:45 fratelli d'Italia...
REVERSE BIT MAGIC THO
Wait I don’t get he said there is a record for 58 min. But you released a new vid with wr being 1:04
100% is opening evry chest getting all the blue slime doing literately every thing
twilight princess hyrule castle early will be next
If the original barrier skip was the biggest, then what about the new barrier skip that's 30000 times faster?
original WW barried skip when
Yesterday
@@tjprocks4723 oh fuck
SS music huh linkus ;)
I DEEEED IT!
So 100% WWHD doesn't care about source requirement like OOT hundo does for items? I'm pretty sure the puppet ganon cutscene isnt the intended source of mirror shield/upgraded master sword.
Linkus can you make a tutorial on how to play wind wakers randomizer please
im vegan

Isnt there a video already like this?
Pausa for a causa
How could you do a Barrier Skip video without adding a clip of: ua-cam.com/video/2s2BleXVFMQ/v-deo.html
Preposterous.
PogU barrier skip 2 PogChamp nax out
Is there a no glitch category 🤔
yeap, Wind Waker HD has a Glitchless category. look on speedrun.com
@@louckykoneko ah awesome thanks for the info
Where is your God now? :D
actually
May every disliker be cursed to collect triforce charts for eternity.
So, barrier skip still isn't possible in SD right?
It is now.
Found recently
Reupload?
Mario music in Zelda video😂
Why is your game in Italian bro?
Because the text is the fastest
Oh ok, just wondering, coz I’m italian
I got threw barrier with a sheld and a bomb first time i did it but i did it by accident
Cause i was facing the barrier when i accidently dropped a bomb the bomb hit me and clipped me threw when i fell it was weird and i was confused
I tried it a few times before also and yah i thought was a joke when first seen people try this i thought it was impossible
To be honest im fucked of that i cant buy windwaker hd on the switch, nintendo need to get their shit together and drop twilight princess and skyward sword as well.
Dumb question: why is the game in Italian?
Because the text is the fastest
You mean SotH Skip
"In conclusion, there is no possible way to pass through this barrier"- Cosmo
Sad the person who found it got nothing that was promised
What a beeutifull game
Goodness, one of the first comments lets gooo!
