The Insane Complexity of Tears of the Kingdom Speedruns

Ойындар

Why is Tears of The Kingdom All Dungeons so hard to break for Speedrunners? It's not the glitches or patches like you might suspect. It's an entirely different problem.

    Is there any way to just grab the one on the Sky Island? I know it would take time out of the run, but how does that time compare to the time needed to grab any of the other shirts?

    ​@@parchmentengineer8169I think the main idea is that you have to go out of your way to get the Zora Tunic and Flamebreaker chest anyway. It's more efficient to find a way to do those before Gerudo than to go out of your way, get a shirt, do Gerudo, only to go straight to Goron or Zora's just to get another shirt anyway.

    i done the same lol , theres so much you can accidentally skip and ruin for yourself by just exploring when that seems to be the main part of the game. they really should have locked some of the things off until youve got an item or done a quest etc i wish they didnt let me get the mastersword so easily relatively early on, because i wanted to do the geoglyphs as i explored for it to just ruin the dekutree quest later. the gloom hands were fkin me up to then get rewarded with nothing because i had previously watched some cutscenes :(

Whether you talking about "all endings 100% as fast as possible" or "everything you can do on one file as quick as possible", doing a "perfect speed run " in Bloodborne makes "all warp points" feel like a morning jog.

    Not gonna lie, when you all originally started this channel it felt like a breath of fresh air for speedrunning content and i was pretty excited for what was to come After a while i was very confused about why i heard so little from this channel and thought, "well the algorithm must have done them dirty" because i only occasionally saw videos even though i was subscribed. But when i checked the channel to see all the videos i assumed somehow got lost in translation, i saw that there were none that i hadn't already seen. You kind of collectively dropped the ball on this one. And i actually think this channel would have performed fantastically for some reason.
