Hello everybody! I am very happy to see the overwhelming positive support on this video, me and EZScape worked really hard on it and we are both very happy with the end result. I’ve noticed a lot of people asking why the game is set to Italian, and the simple answer is that it is the fastest language available for Wind Waker HD, which saves around 1 minute. In this video we also did not go into much detail on Barrier Skip due to how complicated that trick is, however while making this video I was working on the side on an in-depth video about Barrier Skip, so if that is something you are interested in, you could check it out here: th-cam.com/video/tg6-gNEmNeo/w-d-xo.html
Awesome. I was just scrolling down to ask this. Thanks and congratulations on the WR!
you're so fucking good
Sei italiano
Good speedrun but why do you look like Tobey Maguire
As an outsider looking in, can I ask one thing? Why do you mash buttons like someone with ADHD during parts of the game where button inputs make no difference? Like I get that you're wanting to move text on at the first available frame, but damn you must go through controllers. =}
If you roll out of bed at the perfect angle, you can clip through the floor and into the shower. Saving precious time
Seen this somwhere else
Stolen
Make somethimg original instead
Edit: chill I was just saying you shouldnt treat this guy like it's his joke
I'm trying to speedrun life so that's a good tip
@@Kasmuller woah who cares who stole what it's a joke anyone in the future can use
Kristian Kasmuller No
@@Kasmuller damn bro, we kinda dont care
You speed runners are crazy, risking basically several hours of a run to do one glitch that shaves 30 sec off your times. That’s mad skills right there
that scenario is dedication, not skills
@@GameEngine1 well more like being dedicated enough to be able to consistently pull off really difficult glitches. In other words you're dedicating yourself to become more skillful at said action. In this case, a glitch in a video game.
I have mad respect for their efficiency
@@infinitedeath1384 well the skills are wether or not they succeed, not about being and I quote "crazy, risking basically several hours of a run to do one glitch that shaves 30 sec off times", being dedicated enough to use multiple hours to get a better time. I mean they HAVE to use the glitches, because if they don't they are at a SEVERE disadvantage and are probably unable to reach their goal.
Like mad respect for the dedication and skills required to do this, I am definitely not gonna say it doesn't require skills, just saying in the scenario it's dedication, not skills. :)
And here I am already panting from grinding in Warframe.
Guess imma take the speedrunner mentality.
You know, I’d love to see an outside perspective of how fast that superswim is. Just be minding your own business fishing, and you see a little kid rocketting through the water past you
Lmao
Well, you can actually see Link's Speed in the Sea Map, it's freakin' crazy
Congratulations, yours is among the few comments out of the multiple thousands that I have read that has made me laugh. For this, you have earned a special like. (special likes are no different from normal likes except that they are for a special reason)
*bbbrrrrrrrrooooooommmmmm*
Play sea of thieves
Imagine just being able to stay to yourself "I think I'm gonna sit down and 100% wind waker today. Yeah that sounds good."
*in a insanly fast time too
@@ethang.8238 Would be insane enough to get it done in a regular say
This but with Breath of the Wild
This is my toilet game just have a ds pluged in full-time.
I feel like speedrunners are people who accidentally glitched out of the world in a game when they were younger and thought "...I could *use* this somehow" lol
Enjoying the game normally. Clips out of bounds. New game discovered.
Like doubling in Pokemon on the gameboy
*dO yOu mEaN iSeKaI?*
Metroid 2 glitch codes for Game Genies... YW
I was into speedrunning back when I was a kid on NES/SNES because I had limited time to play. I was only allowed to play up to thirty minutes.
So since a lot of those games didn't have save systems I just ... got gud.
I used to hammer my way through Bonkers on the SNES for instance, and I'd beat it two times before the thirty minute time up.
And the world record right now is 14 minutes.
I also used to hammer the ever loving crap out of Jet Moto 2.
Can't do that crap anymore. My brain is too slow and I don't have the patience for it.
Speed runner:Of course its easy! just do 30 frame perfect glitches!
He is exaggerating at least 2 of those glitches, but otherwise yeah.
Good thing I play piano.

Ohp spells speedrunner with two words. JK
Ethan Crowley Yes I am. I get paid to make sure you use grammer correctly
12:41 "About 3 years into the run"
I guess I'll speedrun a different game
speedrun is really something else, it'1s cheating but in a good way....
"Ok guys, this is just a practice run, gonna do the real WR run in 2022, it's gonna be epic stay tuned, ik it's my birthday in 3 months but please no cheering, i need to get the frame skip perfect"

I know every second counts in a speed run, but the way he says “it could cost you MINUTES” made me laugh so hard omg
"it's definitely worth it, it could save you half a minute!"
Minutes in speedrunner time is like years in our regular time
And because of this I got so annoyed at the footage of Sploosh Kaboom where the other guy was trying to tell him where to go and he had no idea what to do.
@@mbccgliczsdnm7627 The other guy is a very experienced speedrunner. He knows exactly what to do haha

I love hearing people explain speedrun glitches and techniques way more than watching speedruns themselves. I don't know why.
Same
In his run he actually explains a TON of what he’s doing which is really nice. Most runners don’t talk at all
Speedrunning: the most impressive piece of "but WHY" ever produced by mankind
agree to a point, but dont hate on the guys getting those paper stacks for doing something so pointless. XD
Much why we enjoy a lot of other "but why" things. Beauty contests? Weightlifting competitions? Same kind of light. Some people are just interested in certain things that are pushed to the extreme.
@@sune9578 Dude dont put athletes into the same realm as people glitching in video games!
Sir Edmund Hillary said it best.
"Because it's there."
@@RFlash-xc4lo nothing matters in this world. They're equal.
So you have to get really lucky with RNG multiple times as well as being perfect on over 100 glitches? And if anything goes wrong, you lose your run. Insane to think people put themselves through that much constant stress. Linkus should be a neurosurgeon.
@Jack BauerBauer it's a 4-month-old comment. go away
It is stressful but I wouldn't compare it to surgery on an actual human brain. However, I guess he could become a neurosurgeon if he dedicated as much time to it as he currently does with speedrunning.
Jack Bauer must be fun at parties
@Jack Bauer cant tell if this is a meme or not. If not i sincerely hope you learn to not comment on things you clearly have zero knowledge about lol.
@Jack Bauer ok buddy
You top level speedrunners are mad, absolutely mad. Incredibly impressive persistence and tactile skills. Stay golden!
Absolute Mad Lads/Lassies
@Hxise Sasaki lots of these skips/tricks look like something you might do once accidentally, then realise there was scope for a skip there. Like the negative backwards speed thing. Doing that accidentally or while messing around once is entirely plausible, and from there you realise the speed just keeps stacking the longer you do it. I guess knowledge from other games also comes into play, as well as good old fashioned experimentation. Play with it till it breaks and then keep breaking it.
Certainly the ones that run a category that takes over four hours.

Honestly I liked the length of the video. It was well informative and I liked it that way.
I agree. Great video, editing and pacing. I'd really enjoy more in depth videos like this on speed running
TH-cam algoritm brought me here, and I didnt even realise that you're normally a faster paced youtuber. I was enjoyed the whole way through and didnt even realise the time until you said it. The information is perfectly concise. Good job!
I was going to say, this longer form content where he can go more in depth is MUCH more interesting and engaging
Agreed. I never skipped ahead or felt bored. The pacing was perfect and all the information being given was interesting. Really top quality video.
@@RexxaeSAME HERE. AND YES, ABSOLUTELY.
More please!
Holy crap, you can tell that he's filled with emotion when you see his hand shake so much when he finishes the run.
Iain McDonald's or yknow it could also be the agony of a hand cramp brought on by 3 hours of intense focus lol
Guitar Hero all day
@@florpleborp2275 I have bpd and frontal lobe sensitivity (similar to epilepsy) and playing for to long makes my hands shake I can usually only get an hour in until uncomfortable shaking sets in, it sucks.
I should be studying, instead in watching a speed run video of a game I’ve never played.

Is he playing in Italian because is the fastest language?
robytex06 Yes
Si
Wow it's not Japanese XD
yeah, mario runs fast
Spanish not Italian
Speedrunning is a hobby designed by God to destroy controllers.
Play through games as fast as possible is such a nice feeling . My first speedrun was Metal Gear Solid for PS1 when i was around 9 years old . There were stores where you could "test" games , but kids at my age used to meet there and compete in different games . There was a stand with MGS and i completed it in about 4 hours. The guy from the games section was so nice he even put in the second disc and watched as i went to finish it with like 5 other kids around me . That were good times 😄
Back then you would get recognized a day later " thats the kid who played MGS fast as hell" .trading codes and helping each other was so awesome . Pure gaming culture.
or keyboards
Comparing a normal gamers controller to a speed runners is like those fucking sad puppy commercials"for just a penny a day you can save a poor controller from its abusive speed runner home"
@@handyboy4178 no. Not keyboards. Controllers are for gamers. Keyboards are for game players living in an attic
@@CaptainFALKEN I think it's just a preference, controllers are easier and more comfortable to use allowing you to sit in a nice chair even most home consoles are what introduced people into gaming, a keyboard and mouse allows for more precision better specs and a larger arsenal of games.
Imagine being Link's sister in this speedrun. You see him jump into the ocean then swim back and forth, and then he just shoots away.
Alright all you nerds saying 1% isn't even that rare, you need to remember this isn't the same process as, lets say hunting a shiny Pokemon. Each roll for a shiny Pokemon takes less than 1 minute, and can be restarted right away (if you're catching them in the wild). If you think of what Linkus is doing as catching a shiny then each run he gets to 4 hours, including all of the room for error, is the equivalent of you trying to encounter a shiny Pokemon once. Oh and I did say it was a lower than a 1% chance in the video, I just didn't want to give out an incorrect number in my commentary. It's probably closer to ~.25%, but I really couldn't be bothered to try to calculate the odds of battleship lmao.
If it's relatively close to 0.25% then it should take on average 277 runs that encapsulate all of the different luck based moments. So if that's four hours, he needs to spend 1108 hours to ever get a run with these set parameters on average.
But the odds if it were 1%? It's now down to 69 tries on average, or 276 hours. Which is a vast difference from 1100 hours. If Linkus plays this is a 9-5 job, then it'd be over a month before he sees this luck again at 1%, and nearly five months at 0.25%.
EDIT: Five months if all he got were runs that didn't reset prior to the four hour mark, he obviously does not have that happen.
Ok
Found an article about it and the odds of a perfect random game of battleship is 1 in 6,650,134,872,937,201,800 games. So far less than 1%, less than .25%, closer to .000001%
@@andrewhedrick1612 but he didnt get a perfect game of battleship they were calculating the odds of beating it within the amount of tries you get.
@@andrewhedrick1612 I suspect that the probability of a perfect battleship game grows exponentially not only with number of total squares but number of total ships... The battleship in Wind Waker is very different I believe, and on top of that he didn't have a perfect game regardless.
If it was an 8x8 grid with 8 possible ship squares it would be
8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1/64*63*62*61*60*59*58*57
So.... a general function would be (ship_squares)!/(total_squares!/(total_squares - ship_squares + 1)!)
??
I think
"...after all, I do build up speed for -12 hours- 2 minutes."
Dusty to answer that, we need to talk about parallel universes
@@crxstalline_, dusty is 4 parallel universes ahead of you bud
I started cackling when he shot off into the distance of the sea... The whole speed glitch was really freaking funny XD
Not gonna lie that "most confusing pattern ever" is always my tactic in battleship 😂
Love that Linkus actually explains his run! Very informative video, nice work
I agree. I am hooked just by the wording and footage describing the hardships, luck, and quick thinking as well as thinking by itself to achieve such a run. Very specific talks are rare and makes me want to subscribe :)
He is like , here you have the ingredients to a perfect speedrun ,but GOOD LUCK GETTING MY RNG YOU BITCHES !!! 💁♂️😄
I promise you that people want longer videos from you. No need to apologize about the length
100% agree

Lovely Elsanna That’s what she said.
@@goldenwarrior1186 no but made me laugh now
I dont
This one is gonna remain undefeated for quite a while.
Some brand new strats or skips would need to be discovered to best it.
Or an even more ungodly lucky run

@@EZScapeLOL, btw anybody knows why the game is played in Italian? I'm Italian and I always see speedrunners play this game in Italian, so I was wondering why they do it
Legal socially acceptable gambling accessible to anyone with time and patience. I approve. Speedrunner is a valid career choice.
for me, glitched speedruns always exciting to watch, because i always like "wtf is that even possible? and how did they even found those tricks in the first place?", so big respect to gaming community who dedicated their time and knowledge for whatever the game they've been into..
Honestly the Italians are a blessing to the speedrunning community.
It's sad that here in italy they are quite unknown :(
Ora aggiungerò una frase in italiano giusto per rompere il cazzo e confondere le idee.
Italians are just really cool in general
So are most other nationalities
linkus is swedish. the game is only set to italian because it’s the fastest of the language options.
@@gabo9476 vero, siamo degli idioti, o almeno la maggior parte di noi italiani
@@szarekhthesilentking7043 no dai c'è Tyron che ci sta tenendo massa su
"it is definitely worth it because it saves half a minute" damn, speedrunners are hardcore
A 1% run would be really easy to beat, this is like a .01% chance lol

Too long?!?! Those people are crazy, it should be longer if anything! Great work as always.
-I never knew Dream speedran Windwaker-
Don't apologize for videos length, I love this stuff and the more info the better. Thanks for the content!
The glitch explanations by Linkus were great and easy to understand how difficult it is.
Yeah they were but I don't think it's cool how EZScape just copypasted Linkus' content into this video. This was way longer than any excerpt has a right to be.
@@gilroyscopa Linkus helped with the video, Ez didnt take his content.
I did the math. The chance per run is 0.02475%
That translates to 1 in 4,000 runs having a chance to get this RNG.
This is the % chance of getting the RNG results that were achieved in this run based on the percentages you gave for each RNG. You didn’t give a percentage for the bird peck so I took a guess of 5% because you said he’d only seen it happen 6 times before.
man you have way too much time on your hands
Crazy wow
Robotron Sage we’re watching speedrun videos, we all have too much time.

Realistically though a speed run isn't a 1 and done thing, so still impressive ;p
that “never before seen RNG manipulation” was amazing

WR holders: uses no tech outside of tech in their speedruns.
Time to inject myself with some juicy speed running content!
Great accountname brother.
Hey i saw this profile pic on a sticker at school!
Note to self: When making a video game, hire a speedrunner or three as playtesters. They're pros at getting games to do things you'd never expect them to.
I love love LOVE it when you feature speerunners for comentary! Great content EZScape.
Major props for the in-depth explanation and especially linkus7's commentary! Great vid man
Video was basically Linkus flexing and I am totally okay with that
I love how link just looks at the camera during the super swim
The length was great, as was the commentary and breakdowns on the tricks. Keep up the work
I made it in the thumbnail.
Proud day
Congrats you’re a celebrity now
Hello senpai
After watching Linkus' randomizer, that sploosh kaboom must've felt so good
Im so addicted on those type of videos, the preparation, the study and the hability it takes is so amazing, gratz to you both
This was an odd video to find in my recommended, and I am incredibly glad I did. This is such an impressive thing, and I had never realized how much effort went into speed runs! Big thanks to you and Linkus.
This whole run seems like a joke with the amount of hard tricks you have to use but nah, this guy did it, speedruns never cease to impress
This was really well edited, having Linkus himself walk through some of the tricks was some cool context. Great stuff
I loved Linkus' commentary! Great breakdown.
its amazing how people explore and discover these tricks, so interesting to watch, thank you
Great run, super amazing runner, and Forrest music at the end. Nothing more one could want.
If only barrier skip was on GC
This is one of my favorite run explanation video because no one started rambling on another thing. It was se clean and he explained it perfectly. I could never do a speedrun but I got a few mad lad friends who could probably do some
I listen to these videos while I practice so I love the longer ones. Thank for your hard work
If you have a problem with the length of the video, you can always use gearwheel strats to speedrun it!
Take a shot everytime Linkus says "actually" :P
Still, great run by one of the greatest runners
take a shot everytime you catch yourself scrolling down into the youtube comments section.
zero shots because you won't catch yourslef ;)
Loved the video and commentary. Good shit and great content. 👍🏻
The game looks so nice, sharp and enjoyable even now after years.. This is what I call a nice game. I honestly don't like these gliches but they seem somehow made on purpose
The interview was pretty sick, I loved hearing the trick from the top speedrunner. Amazing.
I was totally sure this was gonna be about fairy hover. I never even thought about how hellish the 100% run would be.
Katie S Just in case you don’t know, fairy hover hasn’t been a thing for awhile now. Gymnast found a way to kill a morth with the sword without it dying, so when you put it up on the ledge and shoot it with an arrow it will actually drop a heart. This means it’s actually a consistent trick now.
Zachary Henke I know, I watched the GDQ run where they did it! I still think if someone got fairy hover on first try it would be an incredibly swag strat just to do for bragging rights. plus afaik it’s still technically faster if you get it and loses the same amount of time on death, just less likely to work.
I love the long videos and i love this channel. Thank you EZScape
Very nice video! I never watch live streams of speedrunners, but you still make it very clear what's happening. Good job & subbed.
Have you accepted RNGesus into your life as your personal Lord and savior?
Nope, that's why I won't watch pokemon speedruns. sorry poke'runnerz
I don't follow speedrun community myself but watching this video just makes me feel like I'm an expert
I love how most of the RNG in this run has now been negated with the boss fight glitch and now the RNG predicting for sploosh kaboom
I haven't seen this channel in a while, but I'm so glad that TH-cam Reccomended this
I was watching this stream. It surely was a godlike luck
Congratulations Linkus! It was really interesting when you explained how you did the tricks, as well :)
sick run, great video!
When you should be studying for your finals but end up here...
4 minutes into the video and realized the game was set to Italian :D Grandioso
Personally loved the length and detail on this one. (Probably helps I love Windwaker) But seriously top quality, keep it up =)
Glad you prefer to dedicate the time to have the ART of speedrunning explained in detail. Very entertaining, don't ever change.
Really enjoyed the video! Loved the commentary from Linkus
Damn, this technical level of gameplay is legit amazing, I'm speechless
woah an ezscape video my favorite
The interviews with the speedrunners themselves is one of the best decisions you've ever made. I really liked it.
