With what we now know about the Zonai I genuinely believe Ganondorf started his war because at Hyrule Furfest 10,000BC someone told him his boar OC was cringe
Anytime Vinny plays a game for more than 2 hours in one sitting, it means he really likes it. So by that standard, he is deeply and hopelessly in love with this game
54:03 I love how Vinny isn't afraid to share that you can never be too old to feel incredibly excited for something like a kid on a night before Christmas. I'm glad Zelda can still have that effect on people.
5:12:26 This whole bit with the Korok trying to ford the river with his poorly made boat and then the antics of him trying to get across to save it is just amazing.
@@JanitorAntisocial when the boat started getting carried away by the current I had a deja vu to like a thousand different cartoons from the past This was WAY too fucking funny
The bit at 1:02:40 where he’s talking about game remakes seriously and then goes “feeesh” and then goes right back into talking about game remakes is peak Vinny for me
I woke up, he was streaming this. I walked the cat, he was streaming this. I went to pick up the game after seeing the minecart surf, came back, and he was STILL STREAMING. We are in for a wild ride, folks. Boy was I off thinking this would only be 5 hours.
I didn't have cash for a console or Breath of the Wild on 2017, so I kept looking for a streamer who didn't play the game like a chore list or didn't make a cringy comment every minute. I ended finding you and watching your full playthrough of the game, until years later i could buy my own copy and experience it first hand. Today I'm playing TotK on my console for the first time, but I will be stopping from time to time to check on your gameplay too, like I've been doing for the last 6 years 😉
@@gunnadahun I imagine they mean jumping from objective to objective, collectable to collectable instead of exploring and playing through the game diegetically.
7:11:00 When Vinny made it to this cave I was excited to see if he'd be just as confused, frustrated and startled as I was. What an encounter to put that early in the game. I loved every bit of it.
this feels magical to me. i remember watching the entire vinny botw playthrough before getting the game and still enjoying the game all the way through. i cant wait to watch this.
I played through about 6 hours and went back to watch Vin’s stream only to find that after the intro and the first 4 shrines he tackled the game in a completely different fashion than I did. I’m sure as long as you’re not concerned with story spoilers you can watch his streams and have your own unique experience with it :)
Exactly this. I had only just recently started watching Vinny and remember some of my first exposure back not long after BOTW came out, it was a Cluster Truck full sauce and kinda wrote him off as just another "wacky" streamer who played vidja but he kept showing up in my feed, and saw more and more that our tastes aligned, then came back to some of his BOTW vids and like you said it was magical. That sent me down the rabbit hole and I realized he is more than just a vinerot, but also a decent asf gent, and so i stuck witu him, watching near bedtime, and then of course like a lot of people, Covid happened and the way he went to great lengths to not burden others with the reality of the situation because he knew his vids were a place of refuge for people, he has become one of my most watched tubers, period. EDIT: Ironic that I ended this with "period" when there were very few actual periods used in the construction of the original post lol.

Am I the only one who doesn't get why people complain about this game's (and botw's a few years back) soundtrack online? I think the developers knew what they were doing when designing the game, the world and the way these games sound. People seem to forget that this is an active process that requires a ton of agency, in favor of having a main melody that would be constantly blasted into their ears for 100+ hours. These games have an objectively top notch sound design as well, on top of the music. The mix is phenomenal too. Not just the music's mix, but the entire game's. There is a reason there are no sound control settings. (side note: after playing them, I don't think I'd trust any other game to give me as few controls as these) Maybe I'm just simping for my favorite games, but I genuinely think all of the music suits the flow perfectly. The minimalist tracks evoke an introspective/lonely feel. In BotW Link has amnesia and is alone nearly at all times in that state of mind, trying to survive. In this game, the world has healed somewhat, civilization is more present. The music has extra instruments/sounds to reflect this. Have those who criticize never fought a Molduga / lynel / other bosses? Have they not been to any of the towns / shrines / divine beasts / korok forest / stables / castle? Ridden a horse? Or played any of the story moments? Not one of these are the "boring" minimalist overworld themes of BotW, yet the fact that no overarching 2 minute zelda melody exists somehow invalidates all the music above and puts the game in a ,,has no memorable music" tier. If somebody is interested in this kind of stuff (and in particular in relation to these 2 games) check out Scruffy's channel. Some great videos on the topic.
I love how every time a new Zelda game comes out, there's a new, never before seen backstory and a new interpretation of all the lore before. I mean it's annoying as heck if you want a single cohesive timeline (even with a direct sequel like this one) but the fact that they've had no less than 3 different precursor sky people is fascinating.
Yeah... I like it this way, but what I find frustrating is Nintendo pretending like there's something coherent there and a lot of fans falling hard for it. References are nice, but it's usually way more reasonable that something *similar* happened in the past / future but you're still looking at a different "universe" regardless.
@@colbyboucher6391 i ignore nintendo. Growing up with the older games it was just always assumed these were different stories. Literal legends. Some connected. Some didnt. Didnt matter. I dont mind the branching timeline. Im nerdy enough. It makes enough sense. And idk about these last 2 games but i assumed in my head cannon if a timeline was required that they were events that were always going to happen. Whether the OG timeline. The TP ond or the WW one. That all roads ended here no matter. Head cannon tho idk what nintendo has said
I think it's only frustrating if you ever took the "official" timeline for anything past face value. Skyward Sword set a sort of expectation storywise loooong after the fact that Nintendo realized they never really set an actual origin for the spirits or the vessels if you will of the Triforce, Link, Zelda & Ganon(dorf)/Demise in stone and they threw the timeline together to try and make some sense of everything after the fact. Setting BoTW 10k years away from any and all of that was a wise decision IMO because it allowed more creative freedom for the races, species and locales of Hyrule to just exist. Conveniently, calling it The "Legend" of Zelda allows for different interpretations of the centuries-old tales of origins, just like modern history. There's only a few direct sequels in the franchise as it is and this is actually the first that uses the same game world as it's base IIRC so at least there's *some* continuity there.
Cant believe its finally here! Vinny's BOTW playthrough remains my favorite playthrough he's done of all time, perhaps followed by Order of Ecclesia. Cant wait to binge this all in one go
5:47:06 Purah is confirmed hot as hell by default if she's got Vinny potentially acting unwise, because he *never* makes comments like that, damn. But you know what I get it. Also wanted a timestamp for myself for his encounter with that: 7:12:50
I feel like if Link spoke with his BOTW era personality he would end up just being Kazuma Kiryu. Quiet strength but also a huge goober whenever story isn't happening
@@spiralgodking9877 I think it was COVID complications - if I'm not mistaken, he unfortunately caught it very early into the pandemic at a time when there was more questions than answers, and reliable processes have not been established yet
That scene when dehydrated crenando revives though! Absolutely bone-chilling to hear big red finally speak, and he effortlessly trivializes Link’s efforts to boot. Stoked to see more of him as the game goes on, Matt Mercer did a great job and really gave some credence to the voice acting deficit. Even Zelda’s voice acting when she starts apparating out of nowhere has a lot more weight to it
My personal favorite parts of this stream: 3:19:38 Best way to use the new Recall power 4:31:16 How to get more glue in this game 5:00:08 Non scripted, greatly timed 6:05:57 What an interesting voice 7:12:50 The Lindor’s Brow Cave Incident
10:52 I believe that Link and Zelda arriving at the exact moment of Ganondorf's revival is due to the curse of misfortune cast on Link and Zelda in Skyward Sword. The destinies of Link, Zelda, and Ganon/dorf are intertwined, they are forever fated to meet. (Except for all those times that the big bad wasn't Ganon/dorf of course.)
Oh boy, Chat 2. The journey begins, and it'll be a long one. The stream was such an blast, and beat the record for the longest one i think. The Fullsauce people eating good this month :D
43:03 That'll always be one of my favorite things about this Link is that he is an unrepentant eating machine. One of the funniest jokes in Hyrule Warriors is when Link is given a Rock Roast, a literal chunk of molten rock on a stick, and he just eats it with barely a second thought.
And also that one scene where, while Urbosa is having a touching heart-to-heart with Zelda to boost her self esteem, Link is eating Rock-Hard Food, just a literal plate of rocks with a bit of garnish on them, whilst being cheered on by Daruk and some Hylian soldiers Brother really lives up to the "wild" part of his "Hero of the Wild" title
I remember way back in the day when Vinny streamed BotW; I actually sent him some spare Toon Link/Toon Zelda Amiibo I had too! That said, it's like full circle seeing him stream the sequel after all this time. Also it's totally normal to play this for 8 hours straight when you first play it, because I did too.
for some reason I only played for an hour or two the first time. I didn't really get into it until I got past the starting area and then yeah 8 hour sessions a plenty.
do you think Vinny would enjoy FNV? (extremely random question, i know, it's because of the PFP) but given the resurgence it had and how unbearable the community can be, chat would also become unbearable
Im not gonna lie idk how people play most open world games that long. I barely last a file that long before getting bored. Zelda luckily does enough right to finish. But man...this open sandbox style is driving me bonkers
My favorite part is 5:11:38 when Vinny builds a boat with 2 wheels that can't drive. Then, he watches the korok float away down the river and plans a daring rescue by building a platform that spins in place.
Man, 8 hour stream. I have also gotten utterly addicted to this game. Hope you had a great birthday Vin. Hope your PC and ISP can handle those huge ass files Johnny.
Really enjoying your LP. I have to stop occasionally when you get to areas I haven’t been to yet in my playthrough, but this creates a fun loop of me “discovering” new points of interest through your gameplay, then finding them on my own. As a nearly-forty-year-old dude, gotta say it’s refreshing to find another nearly-forty dude who can stream a game without feeling the need to interject with inane babble every 5s. Gonna go back and watch your BOTW playthrough while I make progress on TOTK. ❤
I’m so glad Vinny’s enjoying this well enough to not only break his all-time streaming record but to do it by an ENTIRE HOUR (and 57 seconds). This game is already incredibly crazy and I’m thoroughly enjoying both my own playthrough and Vin’s so far as well. Can’t wait to see the equivalent of the Cookbook quest in this one
I was worried it wouldn't catch me. Since it's built upon the foundation of the previous title, I thought it would lack the wow effect for not being something completely new. It also felt a bit like that in the beginning, but after playing for a few hours it grabbed me just like BotW did.
HOLY SHIT 8 HOURS?! Vinny's gonna have a brainlapse over Zelda. I think it's safe to say that this is Vinny's longest stream ever in his 10 years of streaming.
11:35 - Honestly, for Zelda it's fine that Link doesn't speak, because the other characters are usually so good that they bolster everything around him. The best silent protagonists are the ones that live in worlds where everyone else is larger than life.
Vinny, instantly on seeing a secret stone: “Is that a tear? Of the kingdom?” Me out loud, having never realised in at least 30 hours of playtime: “Oh my fucking god.”
Recommend watching his BOTW playthrough, or at least the 8-hour highlight reel you can search, there's some pretty good moments, especially during the Gerudo Village.
@@SpaceSkeletonDragon Trust me, i have 70 hours in botw, after a certain point that's all you do. Collect seeds, collect rocks, go to a new location, do puzzle number 73 and repeat. For example a game like Elden Ring is very similar, but way more entertaining to watch because of the boss fights, or RDR2 is entertaining to watch because it's interesting to see someone else's reaction to the story and random events.
@@Ligmaballin The fun of watching others playing BOTW is seeing where they go and what they find, how they tackle obstacles, and seeing the chain of events unfold (my favourites being unintentional deaths). No two, four, twelve, etc. Let's Plays ever play out the same. That's why I'm watching this Let's Play cautiously after he made it down to Hyrule, since the path I took is vastly different from his already. Mainly skip shrines I haven't done, or secrets I've yet to uncover. Fights I'm fine with. Now with the implementation of Zonai devices, you can see other Let's Plays either skipping them, using them as intended, or coming up with their own contraption.
I’ve been watching Vinny play rdr2 in the meantime before this came out and it’s good to see in 4 years nothing has changed with his handling of horses
I had a tears of the kingdom dream. Link had jermas sus smile and it was contagious. Link could supress the sus smile but once someone had the sus smile, it spread like a pandemic. There was an EAS broadcast about it in the game.
5:47:08 How did the, like, 1 feet gremlin girl, suddenly became a character so hot, even Vinny is acting unwise? She almost hit my exclusive simping for Mona from Shovel Knight, I gotta watch out
Did... Did you not play Botw? She was trying an experiment to keep herself eternally young and it de-aged her. Guess she got it right this time and was able to age up. Though if she chose to age normally she'd be as old as her assistant or even Impa
@@FierceDeity35 there are 2 girls in a side quest series constantly talking about sharing ,,that" with Link... (or some such) Nintendo knows what they doing.
@habama1077 at outskirt stable all 3 women from the botw "voe and you" class are under a tree talking about wanting to marry the hero, and ofc Risa wants to attack him.
It's so lovely to see the 8 hour streams back again. Vinny's BOTW stream vods were a comfort to watch while I struggled with my Bachelor's degree finals back in 2017, and it feels nice to see this now.
I love that I and Vinny had the same reaction to the master sword suddenly being able to affix itself to Link’s back, only to discover seconds later there’s a strap now
Holy shit vinny thank you. Been trying to figure out what the hell that weird vhs i had when i was younger was and randomly you mention "pirates of dark water" and holy shit it sounded right and after a google search... that was it! Thank you
"Run out of trees and softlock the game" - Your tree-ladder solution isn't the same as the solution I came up with. I've seen somebody else do something different from either of us as well. There were a lot of options to get up there despite all the ice making it hard to climb. You can't softlock it that way.

Zelda has the worst voice actor
@@reinhardt3090 Yeah. I like her as a character but her voice is just not good. The only reason I'm playing with English audio is for Ganondorf.
My personal favorite parts of this stream:
3:19:38 Best way to use the new Recall power
4:31:16 How to get more glue in this game
5:00:08 Non scripted, greatly timed
6:05:57 What an interesting voice
7:12:50 The Lindor’s Brow Cave Incident
Holy moly! A full day's worth of VOD ahead!

@@kyleayy Lol poor dude got zapped
@@kyleayy I would LOVE to know what happened here haha
@@SpaceSkeletonDragon Guy in the comments kept spamming spoilers in all of them, got him reported, what a prick lmao
10:52 I believe that Link and Zelda arriving at the exact moment of Ganondorf's revival is due to the curse of misfortune cast on Link and Zelda in Skyward Sword. The destinies of Link, Zelda, and Ganon/dorf are intertwined, they are forever fated to meet. (Except for all those times that the big bad wasn't Ganon/dorf of course.)
8 hours. Vinny is about to go nuts.
He must have been paid cash in atlas earth
The glow is visible
@@homermakes atlas, atlas earth.
@@homermakesall across the globe
Mondo Nuts!
Oh boy, Chat 2.
The journey begins, and it'll be a long one.
The stream was such an blast, and beat the record for the longest one i think.
The Fullsauce people eating good this month :D
Why are you writing like a cringe 5 year old?
2:02:57 Vinny fuses minecart to shield, hilarity ensues
Aunoma trying not to give children nightmares playing his games challenge (impossible)
Seriously those hands made me jump
Can't wait to see Vin walking in circles for an hour every episode
Happy Birthday Vinny!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Seems like you’re really enjoying the game.
No, he spent 8 hours streaming a game he hates.
@@SpaceSkeletonDragon he did stream all of dkc3 kappa
43:03 That'll always be one of my favorite things about this Link is that he is an unrepentant eating machine.
One of the funniest jokes in Hyrule Warriors is when Link is given a Rock Roast, a literal chunk of molten rock on a stick, and he just eats it with barely a second thought.
And also that one scene where, while Urbosa is having a touching heart-to-heart with Zelda to boost her self esteem, Link is eating Rock-Hard Food, just a literal plate of rocks with a bit of garnish on them, whilst being cheered on by Daruk and some Hylian soldiers
Brother really lives up to the "wild" part of his "Hero of the Wild" title
@@WhimsicottFanatic I played botw several times, how did I miss that, holy shit
Wow I didn't even consider fusing a minecart to a shield and it looks amazing. Game is unbelievable.
Theres some absolutely hilarious moments in this stream. 1:40:40
😂
Thank youuuu for uploading at 30 fps and saving me data, people usually just post 30 fps games as 60 fps videos
"all in one piece" he says. captain hoz, link is missing an arm.
RIP, the stone talus cave had the barbarian armor behind the ONE ore deposit Vinny missed
Vinny putting the railcar-hook on the wrong track and his reaction to falling off is one of the funniest things I've seen in a while.
I remember way back in the day when Vinny streamed BotW; I actually sent him some spare Toon Link/Toon Zelda Amiibo I had too! That said, it's like full circle seeing him stream the sequel after all this time. Also it's totally normal to play this for 8 hours straight when you first play it, because I did too.
for some reason I only played for an hour or two the first time. I didn't really get into it until I got past the starting area and then yeah 8 hour sessions a plenty.
@@DenkyManner BoTW was 6 years ago. Kids who played it in Middle School will have graduated from High School by now.
do you think Vinny would enjoy FNV? (extremely random question, i know, it's because of the PFP) but given the resurgence it had and how unbearable the community can be, chat would also become unbearable
@@TheMultiTasker3 I was 22 when it came out alongside the Switch, now I'm 29 and a lot has changed; 6 years definitely is a lot of time!
Im not gonna lie idk how people play most open world games that long. I barely last a file that long before getting bored. Zelda luckily does enough right to finish. But man...this open sandbox style is driving me bonkers
Vinny mate, I know you were excited but you didn't have to pull an entire shift
6:05:49 Vinnys whole NPC "aah - ooh" - moment had me dying from laughter lol
The chatmember message killed me "Vinny, keep buying i'm close"
My favorite part is 5:11:38 when Vinny builds a boat with 2 wheels that can't drive. Then, he watches the korok float away down the river and plans a daring rescue by building a platform that spins in place.
5:03:50 and 5:15:50 for some of the best vinny noises lol
edit: add 6:59:50 to that
Vinny has been given access to superglue. I wonder what madness he will create...
He's gonna put it in places where it shouldn't be, if you know what I mean. 😳
I already saw a clip of someone making flaming peepees
5:46:56 Vinnys reaction to purah was hilarious...
And thus, Bincent begins "The Legend of Link: A Zelda to the Past"
Man, 8 hour stream. I have also gotten utterly addicted to this game.
Hope you had a great birthday Vin. Hope your PC and ISP can handle those huge ass files Johnny.
This is going to be a legendary playthrough folks. Strap yourselves in.
Really enjoying your LP. I have to stop occasionally when you get to areas I haven’t been to yet in my playthrough, but this creates a fun loop of me “discovering” new points of interest through your gameplay, then finding them on my own.
As a nearly-forty-year-old dude, gotta say it’s refreshing to find another nearly-forty dude who can stream a game without feeling the need to interject with inane babble every 5s. Gonna go back and watch your BOTW playthrough while I make progress on TOTK. ❤
I’m so glad Vinny’s enjoying this well enough to not only break his all-time streaming record but to do it by an ENTIRE HOUR (and 57 seconds). This game is already incredibly crazy and I’m thoroughly enjoying both my own playthrough and Vin’s so far as well. Can’t wait to see the equivalent of the Cookbook quest in this one
I was worried it wouldn't catch me. Since it's built upon the foundation of the previous title, I thought it would lack the wow effect for not being something completely new. It also felt a bit like that in the beginning, but after playing for a few hours it grabbed me just like BotW did.
It feels unreal being here, I always thought about how one day I'd be watching Vinny stream the next game and it's finally happening.
Chat: go to the quest marker
Vin: okay I'll do that now
Vin: *goes the exact opposite direction, gets killed 3 times, attempts a korok and gives up
thanks for the long stream vinny. i listened to you during my 12 hour shift :) it helps a lot with my nerves.
HOLY SHIT 8 HOURS?! Vinny's gonna have a brainlapse over Zelda. I think it's safe to say that this is Vinny's longest stream ever in his 10 years of streaming.
Elden Ring has several streams longer than this
@@Luiszerep Those streams were pre recorded and combined together soooo...
@@Luiszerep dislike
I fell asleep watching this and it was on when I woke up… thanks Vinny, it was a fantastic wake up call
5:13:06 - SADISTIC STREAMER puts small Korok in path of RAGING LIZALFOS!
11:35 - Honestly, for Zelda it's fine that Link doesn't speak, because the other characters are usually so good that they bolster everything around him. The best silent protagonists are the ones that live in worlds where everyone else is larger than life.
Vinny, instantly on seeing a secret stone: “Is that a tear? Of the kingdom?”
Me out loud, having never realised in at least 30 hours of playtime: “Oh my fucking god.”
All the people "-2"ing him had no idea he kind of was right all along.
It's good to back in this version of Hyrule again with Vinny. Hope he enjoys it as much as I've been doing.
3:45:50 "Back in my day, swords used to be sharp and not have robots in them" waves his cane around
I'll take me a week to watch this video... and I bet there'll be another one tomorrow. Can't wait to finish this series in 5 years
Or for me a single shift at ups hahaha
@@unclebobboomergames damn, I work at FedEx. What're the chances?
@@74oshua our trashass jobs lmfao
I never watched the first time he played botw so now I'm more than ready to watch this series
Recommend watching his BOTW playthrough, or at least the 8-hour highlight reel you can search, there's some pretty good moments, especially during the Gerudo Village.
Honestly they're kinda boring to watch, it's just running around 24/7 collecting rocks
@@Ligmaballin You are most welcome to your Godawful opinion.
@@SpaceSkeletonDragon Trust me, i have 70 hours in botw, after a certain point that's all you do. Collect seeds, collect rocks, go to a new location, do puzzle number 73 and repeat. For example a game like Elden Ring is very similar, but way more entertaining to watch because of the boss fights, or RDR2 is entertaining to watch because it's interesting to see someone else's reaction to the story and random events.
@@Ligmaballin
The fun of watching others playing BOTW is seeing where they go and what they find, how they tackle obstacles, and seeing the chain of events unfold (my favourites being unintentional deaths). No two, four, twelve, etc. Let's Plays ever play out the same.
That's why I'm watching this Let's Play cautiously after he made it down to Hyrule, since the path I took is vastly different from his already. Mainly skip shrines I haven't done, or secrets I've yet to uncover. Fights I'm fine with.
Now with the implementation of Zonai devices, you can see other Let's Plays either skipping them, using them as intended, or coming up with their own contraption.
Vinn’s reaction to Phantom Ganon just showing up was priceless!
I’ve been watching Vinny play rdr2 in the meantime before this came out and it’s good to see in 4 years nothing has changed with his handling of horses
Happy late birthday Vinny!
Thank you for the sleep length vod.
I had a tears of the kingdom dream. Link had jermas sus smile and it was contagious. Link could supress the sus smile but once someone had the sus smile, it spread like a pandemic. There was an EAS broadcast about it in the game.
That's some Joker Venom level shit right there, dear lord
What's funny is there is a enemy that sounds like jerma
@@rat8294 which one is it please tell me
@@JacobKinsley horriblin
glad vin got to play eight hours of new zeld on his birthday. im happy for him.
5:47:08 How did the, like, 1 feet gremlin girl, suddenly became a character so hot, even Vinny is acting unwise?
She almost hit my exclusive simping for Mona from Shovel Knight, I gotta watch out
Did... Did you not play Botw? She was trying an experiment to keep herself eternally young and it de-aged her. Guess she got it right this time and was able to age up. Though if she chose to age normally she'd be as old as her assistant or even Impa
@@DirectorOfChaos9292 I know that. I'm just talking design-wise, I was expecting her Age of Calamity design, not Milf Purah
@@ErickGameplaysN64 Pretty sure that IS the design they used here, this is hardly "milf" material they went for.
@@ElFreakinCid I mean, she kinda gives me Bayo 3 Bayonetta vibes, and this definitely isn't the AoC design
You know the game is juicy when the 8 hour stream comes out
Looking forward to dozens of "one sec chat" and "gotta go to the studio" during this playthrough!
Adult bodied Purah got Vinny acting unwise 5:47:03
There's going to be alot of that in this game...
I'm currently in gerudo town....
@@FierceDeity35 there are 2 girls in a side quest series constantly talking about sharing ,,that" with Link... (or some such)
Nintendo knows what they doing.
@habama1077 at outskirt stable all 3 women from the botw "voe and you" class are under a tree talking about wanting to marry the hero, and ofc Risa wants to attack him.
This first stream is already longer than Vinny's longest BotW vod...
Tbf his BotW day #1 was also around 8 hours, just with an hour-ish break in the middle splitting the VODs
@@connor4wilson Oh, I wasn't there for it, I didn't know. I guess maybe gameplay wise this is still longer but I don't really want to math it rn lol
I'm sooo looking forward to this series! BotW is how I found out about Vinny, and I have been hooked ever since
Happy Birthday! Congrats on beating The longstanding botw 7 hours
2:03:17 minecart shields are really good for shield surfing becouee of wheels
46:48 - The Legend of Zelda: Talk to the Hand
It's so lovely to see the 8 hour streams back again. Vinny's BOTW stream vods were a comfort to watch while I struggled with my Bachelor's degree finals back in 2017, and it feels nice to see this now.
Just a heads up, there's some kid replying with spoilers to every comment here. If you care about that don't click on the replies.
I love that I and Vinny had the same reaction to the master sword suddenly being able to affix itself to Link’s back, only to discover seconds later there’s a strap now
Any time Vinny streams during EU friendly hours the chat is extra spicy.
8 hours stream and it's not Desert bus?!
This is gonna be good
The minecart shield surfing killed me lmao
Holy shit vinny thank you. Been trying to figure out what the hell that weird vhs i had when i was younger was and randomly you mention "pirates of dark water" and holy shit it sounded right and after a google search... that was it! Thank you
6:34:10 Dude your reaction to the Evermeans was PRICELESS lol
"Run out of trees and softlock the game" - Your tree-ladder solution isn't the same as the solution I came up with. I've seen somebody else do something different from either of us as well. There were a lot of options to get up there despite all the ice making it hard to climb. You can't softlock it that way.
Now that I’m a good chuck into the game I can finally watch Vinny’s play through hell yeahhhhh
3:00 - Yes. You do feel he is unstoppable. That is the reason this intro does what it does.
Happy Birthday, Vinny!!!🎉🎉🎉
