- Twilight Princess has a speedrun that takes 25 hours called Low%, an incredibly strange speedrun with some interesting glitches used to complete it!

One person accidentally left the game open for a day--ended up ruining a bunch of speedrunners' lives.
Why?
@@ivancitoguapito6949 The speedrunner found a glitch that takes 13 hours but its skips an item so in a Low% run where its better to collect fewer items than take longer time, its technically better to do the 13-hour glitch.
nice pfp
as if being a speedrunner wasn't bad enough
@@MOTHHMAN allthough i don't have the profile pic i do agree that it is nice
I love how its just like "Some guy left link alone for a night and he hopped in a chest."
that's how a lot of exploits are found.
for example super mario 64 Wii Version has platforms rising slowly if you wait a bunch of hours.

Imagine being the person who has to check for legitimacy in this run. Staring at link staring at rupees for 18 hours.

Good thing TH-cam has the speedup feature
I used to really wonder how bread was ever invented. The process of making bread always seemed like so many weird steps that are each meaningless to try without the final result already in view: why would people even try to grow wheat, then grind it, then make dough, then put it into the oven unless they already knew what would happen from the start, especially when there were other crops they could grow instead? But now that I have seen this video (and others on the speedrunning community at large) I am not puzzled by this at all. The speedrunning community is living proof that humans will literally just keep trying the most random shit, at tremendous cost of time and energy, just to see what happens, and then record the results with hair-splitting precision, and then build off of each others findings with no conceivable reward in sight. And to me, that's actually kind of inspiring.

mario: builds up speed for 12 hours to access parallel universes
link: moves imperceptably slow for 17 hours to clip through anything
The ultimate fight
Hyper speed clipping vs super slow clipping
HAHAHA, oml.
Unstoppable force vs nearly immovable object.
@Kdrgrpkdrgrp There's actually a newer strat that brings it down to about 5 hours iirc
Don't forget classic Sonic, he can warp through space by going to the left too fast
To give a technical explanation why his idle animation is missing a frame:
In 3d animation, when making a looped animation, we copy the "keys" of the first frame for every bone and duplicate them onto the last frame so it matches and loops when played. But this will mean we have two frames (the first and last one) that will be played back to back and are identical, so it causes a slight "hiccup" in the loop due to repeating a frame twice. So animators usually save out the animation by deleting the last frame, thus creating a perfect final loop. Im guesing a mistake was made at Nintendo and they deleted two instead of one, or two separate animators both deleted their last frame like supposed to but didn't know the other had already done so
Underrated comment.
Thanks for the info
I mean to be honest that's such a minuscule thing that normal players never in a million years would be able to discover it intentionally. You wouldn't notice it in normal gameplay and it's not like "it's a bug". I doubt the developers would even bother to patch this even if they could. I mean this missing frame just by itself produced insane amounts of hilarity.
@@Karttibone eh pokemon fans would probably notice something like that
@Karttibone pokemon fans enter the chat:
In all seriousness, considering how dedicated a lot of pokemon fans from comp to speedrunning. That or play multiple times, yeah they'd notice.
This has the same energy as getting yourself stuck under a door in Mario 64 for 12 hours to save 1 A press.

this run is absolutely ridiculous and a perfect example of why i love speedrunning so much. "should" literally does not matter. "can" is the only thing that does. even "why" just breaks down to "because we can, theoretically"

Funnily enough, I noticed this in my own run of the game. Not to this extent, obviously. I am not and never will be a speedrunner. But I remember picking up a rupee right as I was called down for dinner, so I just left the game that way, had dinner, but then unexpected "We're going out" plans came up. I wanted to go turn off my game, but there wasn't time. I ended up leaving it on the rupee screen for someodd 4 hours and when I came back, I had the sneaking suspicion I wasn't where I remembered standing. I thought I just misremembered because it had been hours, and obviously the difference was too slight for me to even be sure there was anything to notice.
Seeing this video triggered that memory and now I know I wasn't wrong! Woo!!
That's actually kinda beautiful
That’s crazy as fuck
There are two kinds of people.
Link: Collects a rupee
Speedrunner: Time for a nap.

It's the most relaxing speedrun in history.
It's like the point of this speedrun is not about how fast can you waltz in throughout the entirety of the game but rather how patient you are through the entire thing.
Get a full nights sleep and complete entire runs for different games
imagine going out to get some groceries, meeting an old friend, talking with him for some time, asking him what he is doing and he goes "oh, i am speedrunning twilight princess right now" "oh, that is so cool, when are you doing your next run?" and he goes "no. I am doing the speedrun. right now. as we speak. I just need to stand perfectly still for 13 hours, so I just went to get some food in the meantime"
Why would you ask someone what they’re doing when you’re both buying groceries at a store?
@@internettraveler8666 when you meet someone after you haven't seen them for a while, you usually inquire about their current situation. Obviously they are buying groceries right now, but "what they are doing" also includes things like their work or relationship status.
I mean, the entire point of the glitch is that link is not standing perfectly still. He's just moving really really slowly.
@@m.douglas8492 but you aren't moving him with the controller, you are doing absolutely nothing while the cutscene is pushing him.

7:00 This sounds like a college calculus problem. If Link leaves Hyrule traveling 700 units/sec and Gannon leaves the at .....
@@Reulorics technically 700 units/second is a derivative, but I think he meant 'middle school algebra' and not 'college calculus'
5:54 as a animator I can confirm that this is how looping animations are mostly done, if the last frame is kept of him returning there would be two of the same poses making it jittery instead of fluid

It would be so funny to have the staring at rupees % for GDQ.

Just check back in on me in like 10 hours" and then for the next day or so, in between runs they could show a small window of the TP game where Link is just staring at rupees and shit.

Lmao masochistic
The moment when forgetting to program one frame breaks the game apart.
With video games, there is a loop running. This loop is generally averaged to a set frames per second (not guaranteed FPS though). Which means, there are two possible reasons for the missing frame.
1.) Animation not having frames illustrated resulting in animation that is out of sync with the game loop. (Most likely)
2.) The game loop itself may skip frames in the animation based on processing speed. (A game meant to run at 60 FPS being forced to run at lower FPS for a poor performing system may cause issues in and of itself - but this is something happening at all times on all video games, usually countered through using 'delta' time)
TL;DR, your favorite video games are already broken, mostly you won't realize without computer assisted analysis. When the glitch is big enough to be noticed; it's called a "feature"...usually.
Some times, it truly is just poor code that breaks the game. Consider any game you can move faster while moving diagonally...It's because they have x and y rates set, let's say 1 unit per key press. When you press both left and up (or any diagonal direction), the character moves slightly faster because the diagonal for a 1 unit box is about 1.4 units. Meaning you move 0.4 units faster by moving diagonally than by moving in a cardinal direction. (Solution is circle based to prevent this)
"If you're not frame perfect, you're not good enough" -M2K
Though to be honest, the bigger question is why let an idle animation over what is supposed to be a cutscene even be able to alter Link's coordinates.
Break the game? I doubt the developers cared for speedrun...
@@sinteleon The only way to do this would be to have no idle animation at all. Any animation that would look "correct" or lifelike would move the model of the character a tiny bit.
And also games love the "use the game engine for cutscenes" idea, and now with our better graphics, prerendered cutscenes aren't needed/important to show story beats.
The fact that someone actually figured out this rupee trick and managed to implement it in Twilight Princess is a marvel to this day especially considering the amount of Patience required to run the low percent category..
Out of curiosity after watching it today, I went to the leaderboards for Twilight Princess and saw that there is a faster time now than Anorakkis. 1st place is now SwiftIke with a time 21 hours 26 minutes and 49 seconds. Still only 3 people have completed the category, but it's pretty crazy. Like, imagine being the person who has to moderate the runs. Now imagine having to watch at least 24 hours every time somebody needs to submit a run just to be able to accept the run onto the leaderboard. Yikes.
21 hours? Truly Swift.

Low% is one of my favorite categories of all time. My favorite is Spelunky 2 for sure, it forces players to be super creative with the use of their limited resources

In Hollow Knight, there's a low% category in which the run is nearly 45 hours long. 40 of these are just killing the same enemies over and over again in the same room. The reason for that is because there's a very low chance for the enemies to drop essence, which is a currency you need to beat the game. There are much faster ways to obtain essence, of course, but all of those make the completion percentage higher. The runner needs 1500 essence if I'm not mistaken, and the enemies have a 1/300 chance to drop a single one.
Link when he finds a Rupee: "It's beautifull. I have been looking at this for 17 hours".
Hollow Knight has a similar problem with low% true ending - “essence” can be farmed at a 1/300 drop rate.
This takes ~45 hours, as you need to farm 1800 essence in order to awaken a specific item.
The best part is that you can't just walk off and do something else. You have to be actively playing the game the whole time!
Skurry ran low% true ending for like a week straight (segmented, they're not *that* crazy) to finish a single run. Their highlight video of it is fantastic
Was hoping I'd see someone mention this, it's such a funny run.
and the most efficient way to do it is to just kill a bunch of birds in one room over and over again. it's ridiculous
Yea it's worse than Link

I can only imagine the pure adrenaline rushing through the speedrunner's veins when doing this Low% live on stream.
Ultimate low% strat: Start game; leave game running for a full year; credits play.
Bwahahaha!!!
Every six months or so I catch up on speedrunning channels all at once. Every single time, this video is a necessary watch because it's crazier than anything else and so much fun to think about.
This is fantastic content. Keep up the great work! ✌️🍍

Alternate title: the speed run where speed isn't even in your vocabulary
Lol
run
Nah that's still Baten Kaitos 100% where the world record is 338 hours.
Howard Phillips which game is that?

The game is called Baten Kaitos.
"A rupee slide, at best, is 100,000 times slower than walking."
Am sped!
AT BEST
Fun fact: The fastest speed for the poe slide (3rd one in this video, 2nd one in current route) is about 700k times slower than walking (0.000977 u/s)
“Remember: Switching to your rupee slide is faster than walking.”
@@justin2308 Beautiful reference
12:30 I remember having this happen, and my younger cousins could not stop laughing, it was the most hilarious thing they have ever seen in a video game.
The only speedrun that lets you speedrun other games at the same time with ease! I want to see someone speedrun all the 2d Zelda games while doing this!
You know what would also make this run worse? If they counted rupees as "things" so failing a slide means failing the run.
That's what I thought it meant when he explain it because the way I consider it, money pieces are still things.
@@unluckyfives not true at all "as is" due to how long it takes. I watched (well skipped through is more like it) but failing the slide you just have to reset the enemies/breakables and try again. You don't have to wait the entire hours to see if link is sliding properly (weren't you paying attention, they are allowed to open the console that shows link's positional data to determine if he is sliding the correct direction and that only takes a couple minutes at most to see).
TL:DR: You don't have to do the entire slide to see if the slide has failed.
Or it would make the run better? Because then collecting one rupee or collecting one key would still be one item either way, just one doesn't require waiting for 7 hours.
@@Jonathan-hd3hg 6 one way half a dozen the other. I think the best part is watching people scramble AWAY from rupees like they do coins in the coinless mario runs.
@@L7vanmatre generally the % or 'things' in a speedrun only counts the major unique items, so things that can be respawned endlessly like rupees, hearts, bombs etc wouldn't be counted. Otherwise a 100% run could go on forever as you can always pick up more rupees and hearts from pots, and it'd be harder to verify if items like that were or weren't picked up.
Funny how the low% record is LONGER then the Breath of the wild 100% run
People do 100% Breath of the Wild runs? OOF. That's something I gotta look up...
@@Erekai I think it's a 24 hour run. That's incredible...
100% as in ALL 900 KOROK SEEDS?! Double oof.
@@Erekai If you think that run is an OOF, wait until you look up Baffan and his 100% Baten Kaitos speedrun (WR is just a smidge over 2 weeks)
@@kirga4914 that's an absolutely ridiculous run time
My favorite example of a low% run getting longer is in hollow knight, where originally the low percent run required you to grind the same group of enemies for 40+ hours, and then someone discovered a way to beat the game with less completion percentage by grinding a different enemy and the run got even longer. A youtuber named Skurry made videos about it, if you're curious
Was expecting clickbait with the preview screen but super nice explained for Non-Speedrunners… well done!

Link: stares at the equivalent of a five dollar bill for 17 hours
Hah, this is hilarious. I'm pretty amazed at the patience and ingenuity of these players.
first mario builds up speed for 12 hours.
now this.
i love this community and their ways of speed running games.
I love how deadpan he says "it would also simultaneously be the longest, craziest, most difficult and most boring speedrun of Twilight Princess ever done"
Also, Human Link getting the Master Sword is so cursed
I could see somebody stream this, but anytime they start a Rupee Slide they set it aside and speedrun another game while they wait.
There is a speedrun that does this exact thing. Well, kinda. He co tinues to speedrum TP on another file during the first rupee slide but I think that still counts.
@@wheeliebin1791 Good sir, would you willing to provide a link (huehueh) to said run? It would be very much appreciated.
I thought the title was an exaggeration or a joke. It was absolutely not and this is now my favorite speedrun of any game
