This is a theoretical speedrun made using my best segments to show what it would take to get sub 23 using the current strats. It's also a fully commentated run so if you've ever wondered why we do something in the run this will likely answer those questions, but if it doesn't then feel free to ask in the comments!
I kinda wonder though. If you get like a thousand bomb arrows and do the constant explosion flying thing until ur close enough, would the shield break?
Story time: My first time doing the final fight, I did so by accident while exploring the castle, and I had to fight thunderblight without Urbosa giving me directions. This resulted in me never figuring out that you're supposed to use magnesis on the metal poles to stun the blight and punish, so instead I'd climb the nearby stairway and do a jumping attack to break the shield, to then shoot it with arrows until the shield came back. I repeated this til the blight died, which is something I believe could not be done in the Divine beast arena, as the terrain is different By the same coin, I'd bet that the same goes for fireblight, in that you could use bomb arrows at the castle fight, and not at the Divine beast fight, to make it drop the shield.
It’s kinda crazy to think on how good player 5 is considering he took his own world record back after a month after he returned from a 10 month absence of BotW speedrunning. Player 5 reminds me so much of GreenSuigi in the Super Mario 64 speedrunning community, both truly are the Goats of speedrunning their respective Nintendo game. Can’t wait for you to break the 23 minute barrier Player 5
as an italian i can confirm that the italian old man's voice is the best i've ever heard. I want to thank you man for your excellent job, you are the one who got me into speedruns, i love your content, keep going.

I don't often watch the streams and always watch the runs on TH-cam. Loving the all dungeons run and main quests runs you're currently doing. Keep up the grinds and gl on your world records.
I've watched a number of these speedruns (mostly by you). But to hear the thoughts and strats and glitches (and purpose/how-tos) was very helpful! Thanks for doing this!
Kinda funny to hear you mention the old man in Italian since I recently started a playthrough in Italian so that I can learn the language more quickly. When I heard that paraglide shout he does, I was really thrown off guard! Italy knows how to handle dubs!
Great video man! Super informative, I love the pace you talked at and how you managed to play the whole run in real time without any long breaks or cramped commentary :) And ofc, gg again on the 23:23!
I swear that some day they are going to find a way to skip great plateau, it’s like barrier skip in wind waker, it took so long but they Medea it, the day they make it I’m doing a speedrun, and I don’t care how long it is at the end, because seeing this dude make a world record is all I need to be happy
5:26 Translation : Old man: I see that you have successfully found a spirit orb... Before everything, let me congratulate you. Link: And my glider? Old man: One second please. I said "before everything" I think! So wait for the rest! You know, these towers who came out of the ground, these shrines who lighten up again... All of this is thanks to the sheikah slate that you wear on your belt. Link : How so? Old man : Sheikah slate... It has been so long that I've not said these words that I almost forgot them... Long ago these lands were inhabited by the great sheikah civilisation. Some tell that their wisdom and their power have, at several times, pulled these lands out of the crisis they've been through. It seems that they disappeared a long time ago. But these shrines contain maybe some evidence of their presence... Hear what I'll say. You will find shrines like this one on the whole territory. Just on the Plateau, theres still 3 who awaits you. Give me the spirit orb of each of these shrines, and I'll give you my glider. Link: And our agreement?! Old man : I never said that I'll be satisfied of only one treasure! And 1 or 4, it's basically the same thing! Come to see, I will show you a trick to find these shrines! And not only the shrines! Anything you search for, it's always a good idea of seeing around us from a high point. Hmm...(We'll see) What would you think of climbing this tower again? Link: here we go! Old man: Calm down, my boy! Let me show you something first... Look at the map on your sheikah slate. You see these blue symbols on the tower and on the shrine you came from? Apparently, the power of the sheikah slate, lets you teleport to these precise places. It's something that I've heard a long time ago... I can't assure you that it's the truth!
The irony is, new minute barriers are rarely, if ever, broken because of absolute perfect optimization like this. Every minute barrier break I’ve seen is extremely optimized but never perfect, just using newer and newer strats that chip away at the barrier until it finally falls.
Differences between WR and SOB : Shrine loads, Amiibo rng, world loads, atk up claymore, perfect windbomb landings This honestly doesn't look very different from your pb Also nice Player 5 channel logo hiding the final time
It's the same route so it should look the same other than faster execution/RNG on everything. Also my pb did get the attack up claymore I just didn't get instant laser which is a bigger time loss. And thanks for pointing that out I moved the logo at the end.
Editorial suggestion: lower game volume while you're talking. I'm 2 minutes in and I've already missed what you said like 3 times because game audio grew louder than your voice.
Thanks for the tip! I tried lowering the game volume at certain points (mainly late game stuff since castle, blights, calamity get really loud) but I'll try and do a better job next time.
It seems to me that you are only getting voided out if you Touch the ground. What if you would stay in the air during the ganon fight with blss for example.
The closest thing we have to a TAS for BotW any% right now is the best theoretical time which is a heavily spliced video using all the fastest known strats. You can look it up to see the crazy things that can be done, but I think v2 was a 21:44 so it would make a huge difference.
There is no full game TAS for botw, the closest we have is the Best Theoretical Time which is a heavily spliced together run that does all the fastest known stats that are often too difficult or inconsistent to do in a real run. Look up the botw btt v2 if you want to see what it looks like, it's a 21:44 iirc

Because it's faster
now try to speedrun just like that >:)
Beautiful thumbnail
Its so strange to watch you blss without hearing your controller joystick hitting over and over
5:55 (He is also the one with the NO AMIIBO Any% world record)
I think he has every WR category of this game
@@09jesusmHe does not, but he does have records or former records in a ton of categories.
@@09jesusm for a few popular categories only. there are other categories that are quite long or weird that he doesn't have
Thank you for the suggestion of trying bomb arrows in rudania. I will definitely go try that, and surely will have an explosively good time
Yeah when I first learned about it I had my mind blown
@@Player5SR Doing speed run commentary AND dropping bombing knowledge. You are on fire!
My mind (and my face) are blown away
18:44 nice troll 😂
I kinda wonder though. If you get like a thousand bomb arrows and do the constant explosion flying thing until ur close enough, would the shield break?
@@Aussieshepherdownernah i don't think it should work, they'd blow up in your face
@@Danielonius yes, and he's talking about whether bringing your face to fireblight would make the explosion also knock it down

omg i needed this, i felt like ive missed so much new stuff in botw speedruns with how updated it is

Tyron18 (i think its 18) is like that too! But for SMO speedruns!
18:43 sneaky peaky
This is EXACTLY what record speedruns posted on TH-cam should aspire to haha, amazing well organized commentary
as an italian i can confirm that the italian old man's voice is the best i've ever heard. I want to thank you man for your excellent job, you are the one who got me into speedruns, i love your content, keep going.
Excellent video! This is probably the best explanation video I’ve seen for this run!
Excellent video breaking down an amazing speedrun. Thanks for making this!
Thanks for everything you've done for BotW!

CLEAN vid Player5! The commentary was great and all the explanations to the tricks were very to the point.
7:03 The video about loading times will be loads of fun? Yeah, I guess that makes sense.
This is an incredible video
Never heard of the quick rush before! I always wondered what that bomb was doing out during calamity.
This was sick. I started trying this out because of you. Thanks for the awesome speedrunning content!
Player 5 you might be the greatest Breath of the Wild player I've ever laid my eyes on

I tried speedruning great platau, took me two days
one of the only speedrun where i can enjoy the game in my native language :xD
My GOAT (also I love the overall improvement of quality of your videos)
Great video man! Super informative, I love the pace you talked at and how you managed to play the whole run in real time without any long breaks or cramped commentary :) And ofc, gg again on the 23:23!
Your commentary is so good, keep up the good work
Why is this so f-ing cool, all the tricks and everything is awesome! Didnt know this even possible in this game
Hearing your puns definitely made the loading screens loads of fun
absolutely wild. Good stuff my man!
I swear that some day they are going to find a way to skip great plateau, it’s like barrier skip in wind waker, it took so long but they Medea it, the day they make it I’m doing a speedrun, and I don’t care how long it is at the end, because seeing this dude make a world record is all I need to be happy
It's crazy what's possible today but I miss the bullet time bounces a bit...
I like that each of the games have unique strategies for speedrunning
This video and explanation are so incredibly nice
wolhaiksong just subscribed baaaat
tower of god reference? huh
Wow! This almost feels like I'm watching a TAS.
Is there a reason why you did not call it any% segmented? Did this name die in early 2010's or something?
Congrats on explain it every step for no speed run players , sometimes we never know what's going on with this category 😅
thanks for the breakdown, king. awesome video
BRING BACK BOTW!!!!!!!
Mighty fine video
LOL at the pro tip to use Bomb Arrows against Fireblight in the Divine Beast

Also sorry for poor translation! I can write in english and in french very well but translating something is a whole other story...
its spirit orb btw might be a translation error from nintendo tho
@@totkfan ok thanks
Great video
Still waiting until Great Plateau can be skipped. Then BotW will truly be broken
I think You already can with wrong warp, but youd need to smuggle weapons into the final bossfight too
Banger video
i find it crazy how simple everything up to magnesis is
Oh, new video. Looks like I won't sleep tonight:)
Please make sure to get enough sleep :)
No

Sick vid!
LOADS OF FUN!!!!!
now i wanna finish the game so i can watch this without sploilers
Darn, I'll get him next time.
This was a very good video p5!
Has anyone modified their switch to get crazy cooling to reduce load times?
Amibos shouldn't be allowed regardless of a sum of best compilation explained.
great video
Now we just need the Summoning Salt video...
me watching this video while I'm still on the great plateau doing the shrines...
this is a good attempt for a beginner run, and you seem really promising in the community! Keep it up!
This is actually ridiculous man
You should called this challenge "Breath of the Lunch-Break" lel
agree, italian voice actors is so goood
4:22 I certainly do, I and even use it in casual play lol
Very nice
This is so impressive! Imagine a 100% btt
at 4:36 in, im just astounded on how many tries does it take to get to this level of precision.
LOVED this run!
P5 is my goat 👍
(You should do an ESC tutorial as a short or something btw)
this feels unreal
18:48 NICE JOKEEE
It's a jok-- *explodes*
@@shellpoptheepicswordmaster755 lol
100% using bomb arrows on rudania 💯
I played this game several time, and my best record is 6 hours. So pround of this until I watch this video.
Differences between WR and SOB :
Shrine loads, Amiibo rng, world loads, atk up claymore, perfect windbomb landings
This honestly doesn't look very different from your pb
Also nice Player 5 channel logo hiding the final time
Yup, he’s got the skill already, it’s strictly about RNG at this point.
It's the same route so it should look the same other than faster execution/RNG on everything. Also my pb did get the attack up claymore I just didn't get instant laser which is a bigger time loss. And thanks for pointing that out I moved the logo at the end.

I forgot how fast p5 blss is.
hell yeah
This has to be cannon.
“Loads of fun” smh p5 😂🤦🏻♂️
7:08 oh my god that pun is so bad

It seems to me that you are only getting voided out if you Touch the ground. What if you would stay in the air during the ganon fight with blss for example.
No, you void out even if you're in the air. And even if that wasn't the case you'd have to touch the ground to trigger the boss fights.
18:45 Bro...💀😭
commenting for that algorithm 💅💃 nice pb video p5 Kappa
Do you plan on doing any more TOTK any% runs now that there are some newer glitches and
I'm not sure I'll go back any time soon since I don't really feel like watching the intro anymore. I'll probably do runs again but idk when.
nice video
Hey Mr 5
Player 5 is the goat of botw
5:32 rush reference?!?
Summoning Salt...?
18:42 is this irony? wouldn't u just explode because of the fire in rudania?
would TAS make a significant difference?
The closest thing we have to a TAS for BotW any% right now is the best theoretical time which is a heavily spliced video using all the fastest known strats. You can look it up to see the crazy things that can be done, but I think v2 was a 21:44 so it would make a huge difference.
mate where the glitch with ump on mobs withh sheild
You should put Breath of the Wild or BotW in the video title for the algorithm and for searches...
I play on wii U, and someone please let me know if I'm just bad at item smuggling or if it’s impossible on Wii U,
14:15 is this a joke I can’t tell because I don’t speedrun breath of the wild but I can’t find anything on it
The game has a speed cap, here's an example of me exceeding it and getting my momentum stopped: th-cam.com/video/lO8dq3WPUPQ/w-d-xo.html
