- Speedrunners have been trying to skip the Great Plateau since the game came out. Why is it so hard?
In this video we explain the history of speedrunning on the great plateau in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
Follow Our Twitter: / lowestpercent

Other 3D Zelda: Only somewhat open world, tutorials skipped by runners.
Breath of the Wild: 99% open, no way to skip tutorial.
MM 1st cycle: am I a joke to you?
@@b.clarenc9517 Yes. (also skipped now)
Yeah that's the point of the video ....
Plataeu Skip is the new Barrier Skip.

Ooh, so it's not just SmallAnt, it's a bunch of different speedrunners. Neat.
It's only SmallAnt and Linkus7
@@IM_Cmac no
We run the channel but it'll be more than just us! You'll see starting next week 😁
@@b0yagain no
@@LowestPercent On nice. I'm hyped!
people were trying to get off the plateau long before the game released. That E3 demo that was also at Gamestops and stuff limited you to only the plateau and people wanted to see more of the game
If anything that's probably WHY the shield around the Great Plateau is so strong and wide. Because they didn't want people splorin.
The fact that the demo protection is also in the final game is pretty neat
I've never seen a group of people more determined to avoid playing a game than speedrunners.
meanwhile they play it more than just about anybody else.
They love the game so much, that they wanna play it as little as possible.
Technically true LMAO they always love the game more than regular fans but want to get to the best parts of it and I can't blame them. I couldn't figure out how to get off the plateau normally. Skyward sword also had a huge issue with misdirection. Speedrunners solve this issue by having practiced and planned routes.
@@ParagonPKC Did you just ignore everything the old man said??????? lmao
@@ParagonPKC they don't want the best parts, they want the least parts. There's a skip in I think Ocarina of Time that involves holding a rupee for hours at a time to phase through a wall. That's hardly getting the best parts.
Same with SM64 where they use the backwards long jump to basically skip right to the end, missing literally the entire game
Ironic, isn't it? That the Zelda game that is characterized for being the most open-ended, and having the least progression checks, is the only one we haven't figured out how to skip the tutorial for.
Its kinda difficult because in the tutorial you gain the tools for the rest of the game, so it is 100% necessary
@@juandaviduribe8267 But you barely get any tools on the Great Plateau. You get them at hyrule castle.
@@Sam-nd2gm The sheika slate and the runes is basically the pillar for the open world. If you have those you can progress in any order you want.
@@juandaviduribe8267 yeah i didn't think about the sheikah slate but still you need other things.
@@Sam-nd2gm yeah, its a pretty huge and fun game
So get this. the "How Speedrunners beat Mario Odyssey without Cappy (almost)
" popped up in my recommended, so i watched it until the end (loved it BTW), and this video was on the end screen, so i decided to watch it cuz i remember the fog of the Great Plateau, and I pause the video at 3:52 to take a call and I look back at the screen. lol. Keep up the great content!
Edit: wait I helped speedrunners understand a thing? Nice.
58 minutes ago huh okay
You would think Mety 333 would be in the video cause he found exploited it but still cool you were in the vid Austin! (Thanks for the shrine hunters vids btw rlly helped me :) )
Ikr i would have like no extra hearts or stamina without your vids. Thanks!
Hello mr
Idk if I should like this comment since it has 666 likes.
I'm really excited for this channel. The explanations are really concise verbally but there is also constant video examples of the concepts you're trying to get across that are easy to follow and you seem to actually MAKE them for the video itself rather than showing a quick clip of some streamer performing the trick you're talking about. A lot of videos like this tend to have example clips for the most important part of the trick or skip but then the rest of the empty space is just taken up by random amalgamations of gameplay like its a commentary video. This is more like a Zelda pannenkoek video, and I love it.
congrats on 100 likes! pog
Cffc
I love the example at 9:00. The example runs for the duration he's speaking and showing it frame by frame makes it really clear what's happening and how the trick works.
10:07
old man: my,my what is link doing with that tree?
Tree: launches
Old man: WHAT IN THE NAME OF HYLIA
From a programming perspective, The cylindrical check seems more like a distance check than an actual wall you can't get past. That would mean that if link is more than a certain distance away from a specific x,y coordinate centered on the shrine of resurrection, the game will void him out. I think the only hope to skip it is to either set the flag earlier than expected (disabling the check), skip around the check every tick, or teleport directly into a loading zone outside the plateau (if even loaded and loading zones are processed first before the void out check). It's probably very unlikely that any of those will be found, but only time will tell
Lowest Percent: Bomb Impact Launch
The Smant: BOOMIE ZOOMIE
I once heard someone call that trick "Two Bomb Yeet". Personally, I'm a fan of that name.
@@TheIrishBub That is indeed a very good name
Yeah everyone else calls it Wind Bombs which is both confusing and boring. Not sure where that started but any of the above is much better.
Lowest Percent: Bullet-Time Bounce
The Smant: BOUNCE 👏 THAT 👏 BOY 👏
YES
The community demands a documentary of pencil sharpening narrated by smallant1

9:44 to quote the great SuperButterBuns, “if you somehow find a way to launch yourself OVER the puzzle with nothing but a BANANA, the shaman man don’t care”
I FINALLY understand that reference now, thank you
I love the theory behind Speed runs almost more than I like actually watching them. Keep the great content coming
me too. i dont ever watch speedruns i just love these breakdown videos lol
I'm laughing like crazy here not because of the skips they're doing but because I see every part of Terminalmontage's video explained here
I mean they don't explain the castle, but most of that is just making attack up food, grabbing a ton of good weapons, and throwing them all at the bosses very quickly. There is a cool Windblight instakill glitch that you don't see in the Terminal video, I'm not sure if it had been discovered yet.
SAME
It still amazes me how accurate the TerminalMontage video is, it all looks so ridiculous if you haven't seen the speedrun yet
I was thinking the same thing. I honestly didn't know people did this. 😆😆😆
All I could think of when he was explaining the stasis launches was “OH GREAT HEAVENS!!”
How on earth do people find out clipping through walls and specific little glitches? it amazes me
Messing around
Playing spyro 2 back on the ps1, i found a few jumps just slightly too far to reach so I tried a running jump, but messed up the timing amd did a double jump glitch. Of course my first thought was it was an intentional game design because I couldn't reach the jumps otherwise and not I was breaking the game
iirc the shield clipping discovery was purely done by accident. a japanese player posted a clip and didnt even know how they did it lmfao
@@charlescannon2469 Ooh, ever do the "swimming in the air" glitch? You can do the "TROUBLE WITH THE TROLLEY, EH?" minigame super easily with it.
Sadly, the Reignited trilogy seems to have removed that glitch :(
Especially in older games like Ocarina of Time where there’s several steps you have to memorise and then execute perfectly
I just don’t understand how you can find them by just playing the game, even if you’re trying to find the glitches
The best start of the channel, the best mario odyssey speedruner and the best WWHD speedruner Pog . Keep the good work
Oho got some good people coming for the next videos too!

Finally someone uses the spirit tracks train theme, it’s such a good song
Yeah, it's so PepePls.
"So, is curing cancer impossible?"

Wait that’s a different launch
Windbombs
Great work Linkus!
“What About Shrine Lock And Tower Ski-“
“Oh.”
Being a game programmer, I don't think it's a big "trigger" cylinder surrounding the great plateau.
But just code that checks flags, when link is an x amount away from the plateau.
Great video Linus and picturing it as a big invisable cylinder isn't that bad.
BTW it's "Linkus"
@@potatobearsmo Nah, it's most definitely Linus Tech Tips
@@potatobearsmo His name IS actually Linus, he's said so. I still think that was a typo, though :P
You are actually 100% correct on that front!
The game checks what Link's coordinates are, and if they exceed a specific value, it voids you out.
These values are set to basically create a huge box around the Great Plateau, I went with the example of using an invisable cylinder because it makes it a lot easier to demonstrate and visualize, which was the over all idea with this video. To simplify the info but still keep all the info as accurate as possible.
Glad you enjoyed the video, tons of more awesome content is to come!
And fyi, yes my real name is Linus! Linus + Link = Linkus
@@Linkus7 :)
Now this is the kind of video that is 100% unique and something I have sought out. I have been looking for some sort of explanation for speedruns for a long time, and I have only found that info through streams and actual runs; however, I could never fully understand what was going on until now. I am so happy that you individuals are doing this, and I am excited for future videos!
I have never seen such a wonderful start from any channel.We expect more with excitement.Keep up the good work.
And we finally, finally, have a way to skip the Great Plateau! All you need to do is perform an incredibly specific sequence of memory glitches, beat the game deathless, and then load in a new game and boom you'll have the paraglider! You'll still wanna get Stasis and Bombs of course but hey, now you can skip the rest
That's banned in any% though, as all main leaderboard categories requires that any glitch that persists between save files (like this glitch you are talking about) are removed before starting a run
@@PokeMario-pk4ot this is correct yes, if this glitch were ever to be used for speedruns it would have to be its own category
"beat the whole game first"
"speedrun"
Sounds absolutely bonkers and absolutely soulcrushing. Thanks for the fascinating and nightmarish news!
mfw he calls a boomy zoomy a “bomb impact launch”
MFW you call a windbomb a boomy zoomy.
Edit: I suck at spelling.
mfw you call a boomy zoomy a "bommy zoomy”
@@ephemeralhope8410 OOF Just saw that
@@jamesarnett1345 mfw do you call BTBs(BulletTimeBounce) "windbombs"
WE BOUNCED THAT BOY
Love stuff that goes into detail explaining the routes, techniques & tricks! Thanks for uploading! Eager to see more!
Now that people have figured out memory corruption with thunder arrows and dropping triple shot bows would It in theory be possible to door stasis launch yourself beneath the barrier collect items to perform a memory corruption then continue through the void out barriers around great plateau
It could possibly help for 100% runs or something, I don’t really get how this works, but I’ve watched a few videos about it, and as far as i can tell, it takes some time to set up and get the items, and the glitch is also not 100% reliable. Also, in terms of speed running any percent, this would be way slower than actually doing the great plateau. It’s still a good idea i think tho
Ideally we could corrupt the paraglider into our inventory
Thought this video was going to tell me how to deal with fog in the korok forest but this works too
So happy to see this channel doing so well despite appearing out of basically nowhere! I love ya Ant, excited to see what you and Linkus have in store for us here!
Thank you Linkus for this video ! You did a very good job explaining these complex tricks.
I would guess that the way the tutorial Plateau is implemented is the same as the Divine Beasts. It's pretty much a different world, separated from the rest of the map, with Hyrule rendered just as background. The bounding cylinder might not even be a collider, but a direct comparison of the horizontal distance from Link's position the world origin against a hard coded limit distance.
Well theres an issue though, theres no map reload to loar yhe other map
Ah wait, would the cutscene ypu get with the kinf be the reload? Or theres actually no reload and the game checks if you have the paraglider item
So this is a speed runners review the history of speed runs. Cool
This is a really cool channel. I'm so glad I found it so early 👍
Yea I’m so happy I got to it before it blows up because you know these TH-camrs are gonna promote the channel to insane levels!
Same dude
Same
This is amazing, and I can say I was here before it blew up
same
This channel is such a great idea! I've just gotten into watching speedruning content. The first two videos are very well done, I'm excited for more!
Im happy to see some of the most prolific speedrunners collaborating on an amazing channel like this. I have high hopes for where this will go ❤❤
thanks for bringing more pepole into the speedruning community i love to see new faces
watching the history of a speedrun and thinking about how much its still going to evolve is so fun tbh!
Still agree 🥹
Really well explained! I've never played the game, but was able to understand and enjoy everything in this video. Well done!
Oh my god... this reminded me of "watch for rolling rocks in 0-5 A presses". even i don't know anything about zelda, it was fun and entertaining to watch! amazing work!
(i saw all your videos and subscribed)
When you told me a bunch of different names I said, "No, Boomie Zoomie"
So this is a speed runners review the history of speed runs. Cool
Or "bounce that boiiii"
I remember spending an entire week mastering BILs. Still glad I did, even many months later
So this channel is a bunch of streamers of the community! I'm so excited! Great video btw😁
really impressed with this channel ! engrossing and niche videos on speed run culture :) keep it up guys
I remember accidentally doing the fall damage cancel glitch (or whatever it's called) and remembered feeling really amazed and proud of myself.
The legend of fog: breath of the inescapable
love the music from all the different games in the background ✨
This was a huge plot twist. when I read the inescapable fog I assumed it was about the korok forest, but It was still a great video, now I think I’m gonna try speed running this game
This makes me scared that there might be a point crow episode 😂
"Hey, Pointcrow here, do you ever get collectors anxiety?"
I mean there might. But to be fair pointcrow isn't actually that good of a speedrunner compared to most of the botw runners out there.
gymnast86 would be a good choice for future zelda speedrun videos
@@comixs-inc.7994 yeah, he's kind of like youtubers covering traditional sports: good enough to impress, inspire and teach, but not Olympics level good.
@@comixs-inc.7994 point crow got like a 43 min or something like that on a botw any% it's not that bad.
I just realized this is the channel Linkus was talking about the other day!
this is gonna be a great series/channel keep it up
With the content coming out of the channel it makes me excited to be able to say I was hear from the beginning
I’d like to thank mr smallant himself for that
OOOOHHHHH I LOVE LINKUS YAY!!! SmallAnt as well! I love this channel so far!
Ahhh! Information that I will never use! I am going to watch the entire video!
This channel might get big. Hoping for your guys success!
already one of my fav channels
Wow, I was litterly just thinking about the plateau and if it was ever gonna be skipped the other day. Very high quality and great entertainment. Thx and keep it up
"Lowest Percent" is like a TH-cam speedrunner Supergroup.
But how many of them do low% runs
I have always enjoyed speed running, but I have never understood it, this channel is amazing because it can simplify complex maneuvers, and generally make speed running a fun piece of entertainment, consumable by all audiences.
2 videos and 20k subscribers holy crap dude congrats. Nice video too
I love the footage of Link on a horse just collapsing and Link falling into a bottomless void in the sky, both caused by the voidout.
Nintendo really love the 'put them in a large cylinder of invisible walls' method of keeping players where they're meant to be, huh. First the barrier in Wind Waker, now this
Its more a whitelisted space that causes any other coordinates to be inherently illegal and trigger a voidout.
Wait this is a new youtube channel? found one video today and it was so high quality i thought this was a channel with lots of videos and I was so excited to watch them all, only to see there are only 2 videos haha. guess I will have to patiently wait for more
Damn link us I can tell this is going to be amazing and I can’t wait to be able to say I’ve been here since the start when this channel of yours and ants blows up :)
It’s much more than just those two people from what I’ve heard
Noice that’s even better
Can we get episode of HK low %TE just to give respect to skurry
I really want that, but forcing someone to do 45 hours of *b i r b* is kinda mean
@@neptune7872 I mean they can use footage from scurry and just explain how the category works
"Ocarina of Time...Wind Waker... Twilight Princess...Breath of the Wild..." rip to my Majora and Skyward Sword speedrunners
Really cool video! The only way I can think to improve it would be if you showed a clip of Link voiding out miles from the great plateau, to convey just how big the pre-paraglider void is.
For anyone unaware, people have discovered how to wrong warp. You can load a brand new save file, and start inside a random shrine far from the plateau. After grabbing the spirit orb and leaving, Link takes a few steps then immediately collapses to the ground with a "Euuaaaaaaa!". It's pretty funny to watch.
After a lengthy load screen, back to the plateau. Nintendo really didn't want us to skip it.
5:38 THANK YOU. Spirit Tracks is my favorite Zelda game of all time
Breath fo the Wild fog:
Cemu: "I'm about to end this man's whole carreer"
I mean, not that fog the video is talking about, I know, but still
Hey is it just me or smallants voice seems to be like linkus7
This channel is collaboration of speedruners
I spent the whole video marveling at how much the narrator sounded like Linkus before it was finally spelled out in the outro. Now that my dumb ass is caught up, I'm really excited that Linkus has a channel devoted to short-form documentary stuff like this.
This explained all the glitches so well I'm confident that I can do them now
Twelve years later: “so this aged poorly”
welp i guess thats the "breath of the wild" then.
This channel looks cool ngl. I love watching speedrunning stuff.
Really loving this content
me thinking that the video is over when he says is imposible
Him: Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeell not exacly
If I recall, raising the towers actually no longer needed in the any% category for breath of the Wild
Such a great game. I have no interest in speed running or figuring out ways to break the game myself, but it is so interesting when presented this way with explanation and footage. It's awesome that the invisible circle around the great plateau is still unbeaten. How cool will it be when it is though? So cool.
Love the channel that's amazing thanks !
Great Video! cant wait to see more.
The quality of these videos are incredible! Great work guys!
I always wondered if speed runners ever conquered The Great Plateau after all these years. Shame it still hasn't, but cool seeing tricks to make it faster
Great channel, keep it up and have a good time.
I love this channel so much
Nice channel hope to be seeing more speed tuning content 😆
cheers on the quality video mate
I look forward to more content!
Here to boost the video up the algorithm
So fun to hear music from Spirit Tracks in a Zelda video ☺️
I just found out about this great channel concept from people I've watched a lot on TH-cam lol cool
10:17 Better known as the "WHAT IN THE NAME OF HYLIA?!" trick because of reasons every BOTW speedrunner fan should know at this point.
I’m gonna watch literally every video from this channel
5:40 I love that Spirit Tracks tune
I love that people are finally stopping bashing the game and appreciate a ds game for what it is
