i dont know if people realize how insane this run is -one of the hardest, most technical speedruns ever getting crushed -while explaining everything really concisely -and keeping track of donations and plugging the charities -AND riffing with the couch -and this run was at like 3 am linkus is a fuckin beast and he gained a fan

I'll also add that the already extremely physically demanding start of the run didn't go perfectly so he had to spend even more time than intended mashing

Like Doug’s run, but more broken

I love how Jerma chimes in sometimes, completely flabbergasted.

This was the best game of the event. So surprising. So fucking fun to watch.

And it went from 10pm to like 3am their time, I was hearing morning birds by the end of this run

Linkus was running this so late at night, I think a lot of people were planning on sleeping but just had to stay up with how engaging he was. Even Jerma stayed on the couch for the full ~3 hours despite having to take a bathroom break since the beginning. Linkus has the technical skill, explanations, and even comedic timing down to a science, best showcased at the 32:23 zombie hover lmao

@17:29 "Nintendo pays me for my glitch" is a great line lol

linkus is just so entertaining AND informative to watch, a very difficult balancing act he has down to a science

I was waiting for this one. Linkus was so fun through this entire event and this run was genuinely one of the craziest runs ive ever seen

53:50 Linkus is so right about zelda games being such good speed games. It's like each glitch is one of the items you'd get in a dungeon and the puzzles are the skips and timesaves. It just translates the casual gameplay loop into a competitive/more engaging environment.

20 minutes of world record while running casually, chatting, and likely sleep deprived is crazy

30 minutes, but still incredible

This run is technically P8 in the Speedrun Leaderboards...A Marathon run. Just crazy how consistent Linkus is.

man i always love watching linkus explain speedruns. he’s so entertaining and never misses a beat

@17:22 "you're going to hear something very important" *Queue melee menu music*

Linkus absolutely crushed this run so glad he was at the event

Linkus is so GOATed to have at events like these

I don’t watch Linkus much but that might have to change, this run was super informative, endlessly entertaining, and wildly impressive. He balanced knowledge and entertainment and incredible skills with an almost impressive ease.

I knew about the first trick, but I never knew Linkus decided to start doing it without the pause buffers! Absolutely crazy!

Oh yeah, it definitely saves more time unbuffered, but at the cost of him getting his arm more tired more often and thus less runs in a day if he doesn't pull it off

Love pointcrow on the comms just being amazed really mirrored my reactions hahaha

“Burn the witch” as aryll floats away 😂😂

Been waiting for this one

It has taken me 3-4 days to finish this video but I keep coming back to it. This is so cool. My older brothers played OOT and I did a little bit but WW was my first Zelda game. Watching this was so cool and crazy to me considering I spent hours beating it the first time

i need to watch more things from linkus this was one of the best things ive ever watched

BOUT DAMN TIME this was the only one i really missed 😭

17:29 linkus is so cold with it

Linkus the goat, loved how baffled the couch was the whole time

Linkus has slowly solidified himself as the best zelda runner of all tike

you dont know how bad ive been waiting for this one

Fell asleep watching this live since it was 3am my time. Excited to finally watch the full thing

Linkus is so good at explaining and being entertaining

Quick everyone watch before the video is taken down again

I love each runner is so nuanced in presenting things

Linkus is a goddamn magician and storyteller this is so GOOD

This is such a cool run! I need a summoning salt video on this 😂

I gladly stayed up until 1 am to watch this live. great run

Bro, Linkus just had such amazing energy always. Such a joy to watch 🙌

Shoutouts to Stanz for verbalizing all our thoughts on how cool this run was

One im biased because i love linkus and ZFG, but two i enjoyed their runs because they were GDQ frequents, they have a way with explaining as they go that just. Feels pleasant to listen to. Loved this run :)

yay the vod is fixed!

Eric fanboying the whole time us hilarious

I was at work when Linkus did this run, i'm happy i get to watch it now!

i loved watching this live

This is amazing, Linkus is a beast

Actually one of the most entertaining runs ever

thats my streamer, im so happy every time i see linkus showcasing wind waker at these events ❤

loved seeing my favorite zelda speedrunner being featured in this event!

One of the best runs in the event for sure!

This is the best video on KZread. This guy is a beast

Dude I was waiting for it to come out again I think it got taken down a couple days ago

Super Swimming WICKED

This was so fun to watch. I’ve never played windwaker and it’s very confusing but very cool!

my goat im so surprised by linkus no matter how many times i watch his runs and the way he explains everything hes so cool

Linkus is NUTS

Best run of the event, super sick

watching this at 3 am was a wonder

Best run of the event

Linkus is an amazing showman!

thanks mr ludwig vods

The jingle not playing after the buildup when you do chest storage triggers me so hard. It's such a blueball

Nicely timed donation there 1:24:54

What a speed run!!

Truly a professional

insane! I'm 36 minutes in and it's still so hype! EDIT: amazing run and so entertaining! Linkus is great!

That escape from lavender island shit was wild

I still plug in my gamecube and play wind waker and twilight princess from time to time, such great games

thank you boss man

The best game to watch a speedrun ngl

This event was basically LudwiGDQ

my goat

I discovered Linkus years ago because of WW Speedrun and still love watching every Zelda related Stuff he does, he's so fcking entertaining and good at it ^^

Goddamn linkus my favorite

Seahawks should have ran the ball…

Talk about a gigachad

Watching Linkus run this game when I found him a few years ago, listening to him geek out over this game, seeing his passion has alone moved Wind Waker up on my list from the bottom to top 5 simply because he got me to wanna play this game again. Turns out, little me just didn't like the long cut scene at the start, then the triforce shards part

MANUAL-MANUAL SUPER SWIM!?!?!?! WTF

my speedrunning goat :)

LEEETS GO

Crazy that this would still be the 8th place speedrun rn

Something to add is that this run was done from 2 am to 5 am pst

How many times is this when Linkus explains super swimming? Like 5 times?

Linkus o7

The goat run was spyro but this is definitely second

That’s pointcrow in the back right? I’m surprised how unfamiliar he was with this run.

Idk if the couch guys are maybe overhyping a bit or if they just really haven’t seen many speedruns before this. Tho I do have to admit it is kind of endearing.
