It's always fun when a game comes right out of the gate with a speedrunning scene. These back and forths are very common when that's the case, because everyone is learning the game at the same time, and new strats get discovered on the daily. This has been such a treat to follow Totk speedruns. People are getting hyped for sub 50 and it's barely been a month. Can't wait for next year, when we're discussing sub 30 or something insane like that.
You could skip the cutscenes in Skyward sword SD if you played on hero mode (which the speedrun did) but it still was a slow start even without the cutscenes. Until the game got completely broken and now you do like none of the intro. Wind waker the very first cutscene isn't skippable and is several minutes so that's probably a better comparison. When will Nintendo give us true cutscene skip options. At least this is better than Pokemon's cutscene skips.
Excited to see the runs get shorter and shorter. The strats are already mindblowing and I have about a months worth of playtime on this game, I beat it once and Im STILL blown away by the skill, Gym. Great work.
He should do videos on new games to show the beginnings of speed runs in more detail. Doesn't even have to be long videos just short but detailed videos that give more context to the speedruns.
just wait until major game breaking glitches get discovered. I could see this game coming down to as low as 20-30 minute runs like botw if glitched right.
@@drian13 This run will never be under 30 minutes without Great Sky Island being skipped, which is pretty much impossible since it's coded the same way as Great Plateau (no skip after 6+ years).
@@nineplusten you'd be surprised at the posibiities especially considering the level of creativity the devs give you in this game. It's pretty close minded to say that it will never be shorter when there are still so many posibilites. Plus there might be a glitch to skip the intro scene saving like 7 minutes right there alone.
@@nineplusten this is one of those comments that always ages poorly lol jokes aside the GSI is *very* cutscene heavy, I think the cutscenes alone are like 15 minutes or something crazy. So yeah even if we find a way to teleport instantly to every shrine it's still gonna be like a 20 minute first half. This game is *much* more broken than botw already tho, so who knows what could happen
@julianthepirate345 practice your parry, get 2-3 triple shot bows and a lot of gibdo bones, load up on full recovery and heart restore foods. Makes it much easier
Love a WR run that Gym starts off pessimistically. Also, this might be a version difference, but how do you get Ascend to work without saying “Uppies Please!”
At this point it seems very likely that sub 49 will happen before the end of the summer. I mean if you can optimize your run this time it would be 25 seconds faster. But with a new route sub 50 will be 100% done very soon.
I always notice that you use the version v1.0 for glitch advantage reason, so I have some ideas that I would like to propose to Nintendo to troll the speedrunners. How about with the latest version, Nintendo patches out all the glitches, but then allow speedrunner to completely skip all the cutscene include prologue and maybe even allow skipping Great Sky Island with a secret in-game cheat code to the point where it makes up the lost time from the lack of glitches. It would be pretty funny to see the speedrunners fight to decide whether to use first version or latest version.
Why would he have started the timer roughly 6:30 earier then? The run starts when the timer starts. And that is when the player can first control the character or just with hitting "Start game"
With the rate the record has been improving i wouldnt be surprised if we were sub-50 by the end of the day (June 19 2023) but its totally getting there by the end of the week.
Do you think runs will ever graduate from 1.0? I understand using older versions of games, but when it was only out for like a couple weeks it feels a little awkward to plan on using it forever
Why? If it’s the fastest version, why wouldn’t they use it? The point of any% is to beat the game as fast as possible. If that requires 1.0, well, that’s it. But that’s why there’s usually different categories based on the version, so that runners can choose what they want to run
@DesTr069 I don't have a good answer, it just doesn't feel like the same game I guess? I see speedrunning as a way to push a game to its limits, and there's a bit of a dissonance when the game that anyone not speedrunning it has has such different limits. I love seeing the janky 1.0 glitches, but it feels more like a beta or a test version than a fully released earlier version. It doesn't feel like the totk I have, which is fine, but I hope to see people push the game I have to its limits as well.
@@danielbarker2522 I feel similarly. Hopefully runners find a path or and a couple of glitches that are just too generally tricky to pull off that there isn't really a point to patching them out of the game so it isn't too important what version of the game you are running
With games like this with such a long opening i wouldnt mind seeing any% runs moves to an emulator or saved state that starts after the intro. Would be more entertaining to watch and far more to run id think
i wonder if anyone has attempted 100% yet...personally, i still havent even Hit 100%, and ive been playing the same file since Day One (map says im at about 65%, ive got about 150 Koroks, and i still need to find/finish about 20 Side Quests)
He mentions an existing 100% run in the video. Looks like it’s segmented, because it’s not a good idea to ask speedrunners to give themselves health problems for a run.
Seems to be attack up 3 food and a royal guard's halberd, which doubles flurry rush damage. He also did a weapon duplication glitch, essentially tricking the game into thinking he is holding multiple of the same weapon. I do not know how this affects damage.

Y’all dickriding 2 dudes at the same time 😂 no way y’all letting them double penetrate you like that 💀
Agreed
P5 did 49:42 run yesterday
Gymnast has a huge advantage for Tears speedruns. He is hardly bothered by the opening sequence after years of skyward sword openings.
You mean wind waker? SS were all skipable I think
Unless you couldnt skip the SD version. Don’t remember

tbf you had hero mode
Just beat the game so I can finally watch a speedrun all the way through
Same! I was so curious if you can go beat Ganondorf right away like you could in the first one.
literally me
Absolutely wild man congrats can't wait for sub 50
Some dude called me crazy when I hyped up for sub 50 3 weeks ago lol. It's so doable and your work is amazing!
Hello, um so pancake me butt!? I like make any so no do. I hope 😂 to 🎉 alright
Sub 50 came way quicker than I expected. Looking forward to sub 40 in a few months now.
@@MatthewBaka Nah, the cutscenes necessitate a certain length. Maybe 45, but no lower
Think they called you crazy cause you were dickriding other men on the Internet that don’t know you exist 😂😂
I saw the p5 run yesterday and with all the issues in that run even then you know it’s coming. Maybe you need a critical cook tho 😂

:) congrats to both of you. get both your times down to 48 minutes! we believe in you!
Love watching you & P5. Amazing effort, man. Congrats 🎉
Excited to see the runs get shorter and shorter. The strats are already mindblowing and I have about a months worth of playtime on this game, I beat it once and Im STILL blown away by the skill, Gym. Great work.
The new route to ultrahand is really cool
This will make for a very nice Summoning Salt video already!

そろそろね！！
I’m marking that I was a viewer of a point of totk speed running history😊
Link woke up in a cave, AGAIN, and politely asked Ganon for *his arm back* .
Good job getting your wr back man
Holy crap you’ve been pushing the limits ever since this game launches. Much respect
Prochaine étape, 10 minutes 😂
Linkus must be so proud seeing as you’re as close as you are having done all the races in the past. Hope we get some breakdowns soon
feels like every time I click into a new video there are new magic tricks
GG, you are THE speedrunner of this game
HOW THE HELL IS HE DEALING THAT DAMAGE TO GANONDORF?!?!
It’s a glitch that basically lets you stack weapons, for huge attack power
Sub 50 just broken by P5, god damn!
HUHHH
Yessir World Record!!!
Love when a new game comes out and my feed is the wr title being passed back and forth for a few weeks until the dust settles 😂
Love a WR run that Gym starts off pessimistically.
Also, this might be a version difference, but how do you get Ascend to work without saying “Uppies Please!”

The fight for the best speed run. 🍿
Congrats man 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
There is no fastest but FASTER run in every attempt of this crazy dude...
En ese tiempo yo estuviera apenas acomodandome en mi silla y el termino el juego 😎👌🏻
Great run Gym!
Run starts at 7:00
No, stop saying that, the run starts when the player controls the character, and that happens way before that 1:03 !
Why would he have started the timer roughly 6:30 earier then? The run starts when the timer starts. And that is when the player can first control the character or just with hitting "Start game"
It’s pretty easy to see the type of shrine as you enter if it’s a Rauru’s Blessing.
中央大廃坑ルートの世界記録が増えていますね…これも最適化されたら50分切り、45分切りもありそう。
Damn so close to sub 50
Someone can explain to me the fly in the void glitch? That's insane.
These new skips have gotten insane, so insane that it looks like sub 50 will be coming soon
Watch out for player 5
We Abt to soon find out the peakest time this game can get on speedrunning

cant final boss checks sif you beat them

ok
Sub-50 possible?
Totally! If not with current route, it won’t take long :)
Just look at the sum of best possible segments for your answer
Sum of best is the answer to this question because it says what he could get if he did every split the fastest he’s ever done it.
