thanks dude, i didnt even know Opera was a thing. Literally used Chrome for ages. The thingsyou can dowith this Browser, are freakin amazing and it doesnt kill your CPU while opend.
It's funny that this video is two hours old but already out of date... Current WR is under 54 minutes. Skips paraglider and Lookout Landing, picking up and duping some Fairies to tank fall damage, skips the boss gauntlet, uses Zuggle to nuke Ganondorf with only three flurry rushes total, and kills the Demon Dragon in two cycles (not counting the head) thanks to using the Ruby arrows.

Funny that he constantly mentions “the game’s history”, like it’s been a struggle of years for speedrunners to get seconds off the time. History gets a very different meaning in a video like this. It’s like a summoning salt video, but incredibly premature 😂
Plot twist: The Kingdom's Tears are actually those of the developers
I feel like Nintendo, while still allowing you to go directly to the final boss, tried very hard to avoid speedrunners getting sub 1 hour in this game, the game really throw everything at you at the end, even more than in BOTW + all the cutscenes and longer "tutorial".

Honestly, this game might just have my favourite final boss of all time. The whole thing felt like Ganon (whose designs are fucking SICK) taunting you until he was like, “oh, wait, shit” and, well, I don’t want to spoil the final phase. Absolutely incredible.
I love how this video is two weeks old and basically every strat in this video is no longer used. I love seeing the early evolution of speedruns.

Its amazing how they figured all of this out and so fast. I looked at the end and said how hell are you suppose to do all this with just link coming straight off of the great sky island but i knew speed runners and skilled people would find a way
Ganondorf having the gull to talk shit to Link after hearing the absolute carnage just outside his door is wack. The cutscene skip is canon for speedrunner link because no way even Ganon would have the nuts to open his fat mouth in the face of the absolute madlad

So what’s the record with the 1.1.2 patch? When does the community usually move on to new patches for speed runs?
@Abyssoft
Жыл бұрын
1:03:53 by Orcastraw, just over ten minutes slower than running on 1.0. That depends on a lot of things, a big factor is speed, when the fastest patch gets optimized enough players will move on to other patches or categories. The big push right now is for sub 50 minutes on 1 0, so likely when that happens or the time gets optimized with no new developments you'll see All Dungeons get an influx of runners.
What is the music at the beginning and the sponsor section called?
I never knew you could fight the dungeon bosses in the ganondorf fight
great video but WHY did you call the boss bokoblin at 10:01 a hinox?
Now someone just needs to speedrun TotK with the goal of rick rolling Ganon.
If Nintendo released an update that removed all helpful glitches but allowed you to skip all cutscenes, the speedruns might still become faster overall.

I find it funny how this isn't even how the run is played anymore. Current world record opts for the faster autobuild cancel route, which saves about two minutes over zuggling and using the steering stick.
None of the KZread channel links in the description work, the usual of KZread eating long links I assume.

I would have liked a bit more information about how autobuild was routed in, it seems like a very long detour to make.
@Abyssoft
Жыл бұрын
It's a harder, but faster route, Samura1man was really the only person to get a world record with it iirc so it's still being developed; runners wanted to squeeze everything out of zuggle overload before switching to ABC's. There's not much to explain other than what I said, instead of zuggle overloading to the lynel they fly to the depths spot for auto build then go straight to the gauntlet.
9:12 So it was called the S.H.I.T. XDDDD
Im not sure if grabbing the wall is really a cancel. The particle effects are animation implies it’s an intended feature. That’s like saying the paraglider is a fall damage cancel, like yeah but it’s supposed to.
WHY DID I NEVER THINK TO USE RECALL ON GOHMA 😭😭😭
9:14 They should have get the SHIT acronym it’s hilarious.
What patch version is the decided upon version for speedrunning? I'm only 9 mins in really, but why are they transmutating instead of just straight duping? no need for selecting an item with exactly 1 or any kind of inventory position or anything.

Not even a week ago, they were saying this game is "uNbrEAkAblE". And we already have an Abyssoft video. Even the speed community underestimates themselves.
Has anyone tried just swinging at Ganondorf in phase 3 instead of waiting for him to attack first? When I did that, he didn't backflip over my flurry rush. Sounds like an easy fifteen or so seconds saved.
Good lord, 9 minutes of opening cutscenes? I don’t know how I feel about that

Meh, if you go through the tears of the dragon quest and watch the memory they talk about swallowing the stone, it's pretty predictable what's going to happen. When I watched it I immediatelly thought "Why are they talking about swallowing stones and becoming dragons? How is this relevant? Who started this crazy conversation?" It's like that family guy meme "If you swallow this stone you'd forget everything and become a dragon" - "Who the fcuk starts a conversation like that? I just sat down!"
Yes, you are alone in not understanding a fruit salad (a fruit salad is just a medley of fruits - it hasn't got lettuce and stuff) and not knowing that apple and pork together is really good! Admittedly I'd usually do apple with roast or BBQ pork, but there's no reason that wouldn't work in a stew. I hope you get to try/see a _good_ example of this kind of thing at some point. Using coke or pepsi as the basis for a BBQ sauce when slow-cooking meat is pretty common, but not in a stew - it looks like he's gotten confused there. Adding tomatoes is also a bit odd, and soooo much unneeded liquid it's basically a soup

You usually go to ultrahand first, as that's the shrine the cutscene explaining shrines shoves in your face and you don't have to do anything crazy to get there. Then outside that shrine are bridge materials so you use those to go towards fuse, then last is headed to ascend through a cave a Steward points you to. The ascend shrine even has a wing runway pointed straight towards the temple to complete the loop.

Mmmphh...I can see that what speedrunners do is like a kind of 'climb the mountain because it's there," philosophy. They spend about a thousand hours or more picking at a game so they can figure out how to beat it in the least amount of time possible. Here's me not even halfway through the game yet and I got it on release day. I like to roam around and find the mushrooms, climb trees, catch fish. Sometimes when I play, I just wander around in an area with no gloom hands and just collect items that hardly worth 5 rupees.

Next time upload in 4K because even KZread's 4K is still lower bitrate your Switch's 1080p. KZread's 1080p is 10X lower bitrate than your Switch's 1080p. If you want to see something that looks vaguely like a Switch without intense compression artifacts covering over everything, the only way to do that on KZread is to upload 4K.
