Man I feel soooo frustrated that when I finally escaped from that cutscene it comes back... it's like snatching a candy from a kid at last moment. I so wish they find a glitch that let you skip cutscene😢.
@@peppy619 First you find glitches by doing wonky stuff for fun, eventually you find something that works. Then you start going around the route of the run and see if you can apply that odd glitch you found somewhere. It just comes down to how you approach a game. Most people would just go about the game as intended, more or less, while others like to see what they can do to break the game.

@@destinyserrano2409Player 5 Said that, and it's true. The cutscene is 5 minutes, which is not a lot, but Every 12th Run it plays, it's an Hour lost. That means Player 5 has done over 360+ Runs already
That's why I currently do runs without the new intro skip until I get within 2/3 minutes of World Record! Sitting through an 7 minute Intro WITH a Reset heavy trick feels like such a waste of time🤣
I kind of see where they are coming from, but it's also kind of silly to vote for this so incredibly early when the game isn't launched for long and its very likely that some skip would occur.
LOL, I ultrahanded the recall shrine clock thing during my first casual playthrough, so when I was watching the speedruns, I didn't understand why they weren't ultrahanding it, because I thought it'd be faster that way.
It's not that they didn't think to, it was that with their current speed, the clock was too far away to be grabbed. Only when they were able to go fast enough were they able to get the cycle at a point where they could grab and align it.
For the ultrahand shrine it actually has gone through a lot of change just to revert back into the old strat. Also the intro section was cut from the run for a few days because it was intended percent and then the new skip was found so now the intro is back in the run. The evolution of this speedrun has been very interesting. I thought the intro had been settled, but then a new skip is discovered. I don't think TotK will ever get close to BotW any% times, but I'm clearly capable of being wrong.
i usually see vods from p5 speedrunning the game and was shocked when watched a video last week and the run started in the menu with 00:00 as time again lol just to later learn about the intro skip
11:40 I just love it....Devs: You can't take out Zonai devices in shrines! What about those fused to weapons and shields? Devs: Ok, yeah, we'll let you use those.
From what I've gathered watching these runs, the very last hit on the dragon is also a potential ~10 second time save/loss. If you finish the fight while standing on the dragon, the screen fades to black for substantially longer for some reason. Runners have to land the last hit while backflipping off the dragon's head to avoid the time loss, which is not easy.
Yeah. It would be cool if you loaded the game, did some complex mix of button pushes, warped to Ganon, then did some exploit to 1 shot him. But on all seriousness, I start to dislike when the speed runs get so glitchy that they are nothing like just playing through the game quickly. Instead they just glitch around the game.
@@codycastFor me the only point that it gets not fun to watch is when you just teleport to the final fight or the credits or smth along those lines, like that one 5 minute speed run of Oot
Something not mentioned - most speedrunners will try and stay full HP so that on the final dragon hit, they'll backflip off and use a sword beam to finish the kill. It saves an 8 second load time according to Player 5.
Linkus: "This is the hardest part of the run." **A few minutes later** Linkus: "This is the hardest part of the run." **A few minutes later** Linkus: "This is the hardest part of the run..."
@Linkus7 you said recently on stream that you weren't sure how your commentary comes off when it's done entirely in post, but I think you did great here. Absolutely love the energy you had discussing the bomb shield movement about halfway through.
My favorite part about these speedruns is that from an in game perspective, link wakes up and goes and kills ganon within like 2 days, i can just imagine raurus bewildered expression as the severely injured 25 year old whom he gave his arm to annihilating the foe he was sealing away for millennia in a span of less than 48 hours, violating every law of nature set forth by the goddess in the process, all without even wearing the complimentary pants that he left in the cave
I'm pretty sure I saw a 44:33 earlier today, which given that this video claimed the WR is 44:48 means that it was slightly outdated _before it was even uploaded!_ Most things were just better optimization, but the Demon Dragon fight had a really cool strategy that was attempted in that run, but didn't quite succeed, and that this video never mentioned, which is to skip the final cycle by backward-jump-slashing straight from the final of the 4 targets straight to the dragon's head.
I'm pretty heavily invested in this speedrun and actually the player who got the wr (player1) has held the wr pretty consistently and has improved the WR twice since gymnasts 44:48. First he got a 44:43 and then he got a 44:33. There's a new wr every 1-2 days its such a fun community to follow.
@@IOwnKazakhstan Who the fuck is (player1) ??? For someone who is heavily invested in this speedrun you don't seem to know what you're talking about and 44:38??? This dork put 42:38 in the thumbnail to get people to click his video.
linkus your videos breaking down speedruns are definitely my favorite type of content and super interesting, excited for you to keep following and describing the developments!
Rauru is the first king of Hyrule and an ancient godlike being who still failed to take down Ganondorf with the sages on his side and could only imprison him. Link wakes up after a full arm transplant and in less than an hour slam-dunks Ganondorf twice, then clowns him again in dragon form *which is said by that very race of gods to be a forbidden ultimate form of their power* And then spends the next 400 hours of gameplay committing war crimes against Koroks who just want to play with their friends Speedrunner Link is infinitely more terrifying than anything Ganondorf could ever dream of
BotW Zelda: How long ago did you wake up? Link: About half an hour ago. Zelda: How’d you do it so fast!!! TotK Zelda: how long ago do you wake up? Link: About 45 minutes ago. Zelda: What took you so long?
Man i can't believe how the run has changed so much, and your still here giving us an amazing analysis video. Love your content, keep up the great work!
@@HATER_.-._-.-_.-..-_-..-.-..-3 A lot of them have already been patched (at least, the duplication ones afaik.) The main speedrun is still Pre v1.2.0, so patches don't matter currently.
This is the first ToTK speed run where I actually had to pause and replay a few things to even comprehend what was happening (And that's WITH you explaining it perfectly, for the record, I just couldn't see it) This is so impressive. Why are Zelda speedrunners working harder than the FBI and CIA?
I love how like in BotW it started pretty moderate again in TotK with around 1,5h though every week things got more and more out of hand with all the glitches and strats.
Is there a video somewhere of a speedrunner actually defeating the boss-rush and not clipping to skip them? I would like to see how a speedrunner would defeat all the bosses in a row and how much more preparation would be needed, if any.
You never mentioned them using a sword beam attack on the last hit because it helps avoid a 30 second black screen segment. I believe this was mentioned by Player 5?
@@fireball54110 Ah damn. Even when I typed that, I figured '30 seconds doesn't sound right, but it was a pretty significant time save if he mentioned it'. Thanks for the correction.
The second I had to walk through a bunch of opening cutscenes and a long descending hallway I knew speed runners were gonna go wild with it but that was crazy
Rauru: Hello, Link. I'm Rauru. I-- Link: Hi, thanks for saving me, bye, killing Ganondorf within the hour or bust, _he hurt Zelda._ * trots off * Rauru: ...Okay, moving on can wait, this I _must_ see. Ganondorf: Link, you disappoint me. You rush so eagerly to your demise that you fail to even clothe yourself? Link: No, I didn't rush. I made very careful decisions to warp reality so that--among other things--I got these spears. Ganondorf: ...Are you so inept that you fail to comprehend your own language? Or are you delusional? You clearly only have one. Link: Bet. Sonia: Rauru, who is this boy and why is he naked? Rauru: This is Link. He just magically duplicated items, phased through solid mass, defied physics by landing from the sky islands without a parachute and not splattering, and rose through the air _and ceiling_ without any wind or outside force, all to obliterate Ganondorf in around 45 minutes from the moment he woke up with absolutely nothing. I saw the whole thing. Clothing would have only slowed him down. Sonia: ...No wonder Zelda was head over heels for him.
12:48 that’s actually how I beat the recall shrine bc I just couldn’t figure out how to get those hands to stay together with recall so I just used ultra hand and fused them together 😂
the final area gauntlet was clearly intended to dab on speedrunners but of course they just figured out a way to melt through the world and ignore it the cold war continues
@notmyrealname5268 I managed to make it without any major spoilers. I had a ton of fun! Definitely took it at my own pace considering I just got around to finishing it haha. Still a ton of side quests left but that's how these kinda games are 😁
So glad that you made another video on speedruns; I've been out of the loop recently. When/if the time ever drops below thirty minutes, would you make another of these videos?
LINKUS please link Timbers video of the intro wall jump skip, he discovered it and deserves some recognition he is a small creator, also big fan love the wind waker vids!
Damn I hoped you'd cover the version of the route that had the triple "shield bomb on wings and pull a new wing out in mid-air" thing to go from a lower island to a higher one, that was nuts
Out of curiosity, where is the intro of the game "stored" in physical space? Are the coordinates the same as when you visit it again at the end of the game? Or is it a different map altogether?
Could you technically skip the demon kings army if you just go above the army on the ceiling and going above the ganondorf area and just clipping into the area where the final boss is.
3:20 this is not the normal pressing of Y+B at the same time…? cause I tried this earlier (on 1.1) and can’t do it. was just ridin on a wing and instead of duplicating extras, it was dropping them off the wing & I would have the same amount I started with. it doesn’t seem like this is the same as the one done while paragliding?
I do like watching speedruns and I was really curious to see how speed Runners would do the final part where you go through the whole underground to eventually fight the final boss. I don't know why I wasn't expecting them to clip through the wall. I kind of wanted to see how they would do it if they didn't clip through the wall but I guess I'll have to wait for a 100% run to actually see that. But its cool that it's been only two months and the speed run is already this low. :)
I believe you're looking for a no major glitches run (NMG), if that helps with your search Though I doubt that's going to be a priority for any of the routers or runners for a loooong time. Maybe an early speedrun would do it, but if you're looking for optimizations I'm not sure they've looked for any. Maybe just skip through with bomb shield jumps?
Lmao since he recorded this there has been 2 new world records by player1. 44:43 and then a 44:33. Actually player1 has held the record fairly consistently. Every like 1-2 days there's a new wr it's so fun to watch the slight improvements. Just about every week there's some new tech. It took two months of people thinking rewind had "cycles" to realize you could use ultrahand. And the tutorial clip was found like a couple days after the community had voted to remove it from the run lmfao.
I mean being based so heavily on BotW it was never going to be difficult for people to find glitches as a lot of the setups are very similar with same functions and similar powers. So sick, 250hrs in and I see no reason why I won’t be putting 6-800 into TotK like I did BotW, would just be nice if master mode came sooner than later
Funny how SPEEDRUNNERS, PEOPLE WHO CONSTANTLY LAB THE HELL OUT OF THE GAME, took like 2 months to figure out you could Ultrahand the clock in Nachoyah. I did that on my very first playthrough, it seemed like common knowledge for a while 😅
Hi! Wanted to share an autobuild tech I found. Normally, you can only rotate an item in 45 degree iterations. I found a way to get custom angles. If you bend a build (say attach stablizers on it) and attach something an attached edge is bent, it’ll save at the current angle. So the next time you autobuild it, it’s default angle will be bent. Probably not useful for running but it’s cool. Lmk if this is helpful or if someone already found it!
I'd love to eventually see you cover a speedrun/world record of the latest patch too! Because the arrow smuggling glitches they do on there are insane. (if 1.2.1 doesn't exist by then....)
6:35 Crud, I have a hard enough time sometimes keeping my duplicated items from getting away from me on regular ground. You're doing this on a Wing? I'd fall of every attempt, and so would my items! lol
So..., Sorry in advance if this has already been found, and I'm not sure how helpful this could be for speedruns (if at all,) but I haven't seen anyone talking about it, (though to be honest I'm not very in touch with the Speedrun community.) I found that, by holding out a weapon that you can spin attack with, (or a one handed weapon) and then spinning the left stick 720 degrees, (or two full circles (similar to making Mario spin for a spin pound in Mario Odyssey,)) and quickly pressing the attack button, you can activate a base, level one spin attack, without charging it up (yes, this still takes stamina, but in my experience it is marginally quicker.) By chaining this together in quick succession, you can enter a state where you are constantly spin attacking, or at least until you run out of energy. Again, sorry if this is a repeat tech find, but thought I'd mention it just in case it hasn't been found and documented.
Is it literally process of elimination when it comes to this stuff? Or whats the breakdown on how to figure this out. How do you find out you have to do a shield change in the middle of a slash to trick the game? Is that from finding out just jumping off high places a lot?
I‘m kind of unhappy that main speedrunning doesnt focus on the latest version. Imo speedrunning was always to get the best time with what the devs intended to use (so not other tools). Staying with one version opposites that thought, because the devs wanted to patch out stuff. Following this logic you could just break any game if you have your hands on some alpha or beta versions. Also this somewhat excludes new runners, as it is hard and expensive and becoming even more harder to get your hands on first release cartridges of the game.
3:53 I've never been able to figure out why two wings have to be dropped here. Is it to help correct the angle so you go far enough to get to the cave?
I've got a question. In player5's last world record you can see ganons hp in the second phase. Whats up with that? Did he use another version (maybe modded) or is there something new to end the previous golgera fight?
You didnt explain why was a second wing droped after landing infront of the temple of time, and also why are 2 wings used to jump from the save point after voiding out from temple of time. Can you explain that? ive always wondered about that
I always wonder how some of these glitches are found… Like who tf took the time to find a certain location, look/aim at a certain spot and do a certain action to accomplish this shit? They have my full respect

Out of curiosity, where is the intro of the game "stored" in physical space? Are the coordinates the same as when you visit it again at the end of the game? Or is it a different map altogether?
that was by far your best ever video keep it up ive been with you since 10-20k
Could you technically skip the demon kings army if you just go above the army on the ceiling and going above the ganondorf area and just clipping into the area where the final boss is.
from watching other vids about speedrunning this game, Ganondorf doesn't spawn to fight until the first part of the boss-rush starts.

3:20 this is not the normal pressing of Y+B at the same time…? cause I tried this earlier (on 1.1) and can’t do it. was just ridin on a wing and instead of duplicating extras, it was dropping them off the wing & I would have the same amount I started with. it doesn’t seem like this is the same as the one done while paragliding?
Uhm now in the well (at least in Timbers newest video) you can do the same jump climb thingy in the well
This was fascinating to watch. A+ explanation too.
Do all those glitches work on version 1.1.1 as well or are there some tricks that are only available on 1.0?
I do wish this game had a glitchless category on Speedrun.
Next week‘s tutorial:How to clap Ganondorf‘s cheeks in the time it takes one to make and eat a sandwich
And that's why my friends, the Kingdom was in Tears!
I do like watching speedruns and I was really curious to see how speed Runners would do the final part where you go through the whole underground to eventually fight the final boss. I don't know why I wasn't expecting them to clip through the wall. I kind of wanted to see how they would do it if they didn't clip through the wall but I guess I'll have to wait for a 100% run to actually see that. But its cool that it's been only two months and the speed run is already this low. :)
I believe you're looking for a no major glitches run (NMG), if that helps with your search
Though I doubt that's going to be a priority for any of the routers or runners for a loooong time. Maybe an early speedrun would do it, but if you're looking for optimizations I'm not sure they've looked for any. Maybe just skip through with bomb shield jumps?
Lmao since he recorded this there has been 2 new world records by player1. 44:43 and then a 44:33.
Actually player1 has held the record fairly consistently. Every like 1-2 days there's a new wr it's so fun to watch the slight improvements.
Just about every week there's some new tech. It took two months of people thinking rewind had "cycles" to realize you could use ultrahand.
And the tutorial clip was found like a couple days after the community had voted to remove it from the run lmfao.
I mean being based so heavily on BotW it was never going to be difficult for people to find glitches as a lot of the setups are very similar with same functions and similar powers.
So sick, 250hrs in and I see no reason why I won’t be putting 6-800 into TotK like I did BotW, would just be nice if master mode came sooner than later
Funny how SPEEDRUNNERS, PEOPLE WHO CONSTANTLY LAB THE HELL OUT OF THE GAME, took like 2 months to figure out you could Ultrahand the clock in Nachoyah. I did that on my very first playthrough, it seemed like common knowledge for a while 😅
Hi! Wanted to share an autobuild tech I found.
Normally, you can only rotate an item in 45 degree iterations. I found a way to get custom angles.
If you bend a build (say attach stablizers on it) and attach something an attached edge is bent, it’ll save at the current angle. So the next time you autobuild it, it’s default angle will be bent.
Probably not useful for running but it’s cool. Lmk if this is helpful or if someone already found it!
I swear some day the speed run community will figure out how to beat this game in like 10 minutes
I'd love to eventually see you cover a speedrun/world record of the latest patch too! Because the arrow smuggling glitches they do on there are insane.
(if 1.2.1 doesn't exist by then....)
12:34 I actually figured it out the first time I played it on release day, surprised it wasn't common knowledge already
Neat run & analysis video! Thanks for uploading!
This whole video makes me realize this is very precise and takes place at a very specific time
6:35 Crud, I have a hard enough time sometimes keeping my duplicated items from getting away from me on regular ground. You're doing this on a Wing? I'd fall of every attempt, and so would my items! lol
8:00 Peek-a-boo! If I can't see you, you can't see me!
So..., Sorry in advance if this has already been found, and I'm not sure how helpful this could be for speedruns (if at all,) but I haven't seen anyone talking about it, (though to be honest I'm not very in touch with the Speedrun community.)
I found that, by holding out a weapon that you can spin attack with, (or a one handed weapon) and then spinning the left stick 720 degrees, (or two full circles (similar to making Mario spin for a spin pound in Mario Odyssey,)) and quickly pressing the attack button, you can activate a base, level one spin attack, without charging it up (yes, this still takes stamina, but in my experience it is marginally quicker.) By chaining this together in quick succession, you can enter a state where you are constantly spin attacking, or at least until you run out of energy.
Again, sorry if this is a repeat tech find, but thought I'd mention it just in case it hasn't been found and documented.
Is it literally process of elimination when it comes to this stuff? Or whats the breakdown on how to figure this out. How do you find out you have to do a shield change in the middle of a slash to trick the game? Is that from finding out just jumping off high places a lot?
This is absolutely nuts. The game hasn’t even been out for 3 months🤯
12:34 I did that on my main save I didn't know you had to use recall on one of them 😭🤚
I‘m kind of unhappy that main speedrunning doesnt focus on the latest version. Imo speedrunning was always to get the best time with what the devs intended to use (so not other tools). Staying with one version opposites that thought, because the devs wanted to patch out stuff. Following this logic you could just break any game if you have your hands on some alpha or beta versions. Also this somewhat excludes new runners, as it is hard and expensive and becoming even more harder to get your hands on first release cartridges of the game.
Could you cover other versions like 1.1.2 finally got sub hour
Link is like yeah gotta kill Gannon, save Zelda and still be home in time for dinner
3:53 I've never been able to figure out why two wings have to be dropped here. Is it to help correct the angle so you go far enough to get to the cave?
Dropping the 2nd wing just makes the top one easier to land on
You can use 1 wing but 2 wings are easier to get on
I've got a question. In player5's last world record you can see ganons hp in the second phase. Whats up with that? Did he use another version (maybe modded) or is there something new to end the previous golgera fight?
You didnt explain why was a second wing droped after landing infront of the temple of time, and also why are 2 wings used to jump from the save point after voiding out from temple of time. Can you explain that? ive always wondered about that
You need enough "wing floor" to go open the door and then jump over the ledge, so requires 2 wings to not touch the ground.
Superbe vidéo!!! Le montage, l’écriture, les musiques, le développement..!! J’adore!!
12:40
Thats actually how i completed the shrine in my original playthrought. I still don't know the intended way to beat it with recall.
great video, thanks!! love catching the speedrun news
P5 and Gymnast trading records every day had been very entertaining, honestly
you can do so much in this game i wouldn’t be surprised if someone somehow beat it in 10 minutes
I love how even the totk speedruns start with clipping through a wall to begin, this game really is a botw sequel 😅
I can't wait for terminalmontage to animate this shit
Ganondorf: You'll never defeat me Link! Mwahahaha!
*40 minutes later*
All of Hyrule is saved! Hooray!!
I hope community will allow skipping intro and just start from save when link wakes up with his new arm
I always wonder how some of these glitches are found… Like who tf took the time to find a certain location, look/aim at a certain spot and do a certain action to accomplish this shit? They have my full respect
Right? It's fuckin wild
