Check out Manta Sleep here: tinyurl.com/h8jyfvsj and make sure to use LINKUS for 10% off your order! ENJOY THE VIDEO!! THIS GAME IS AMAZING SO FAR AND I CAN'T WAIT TO KEEP PLAYING IT!
Speedrunners: We are going to use Links Awakening tech to break this so nicely! Nintendo: So anyway, everyone can walk and climb and sometimes fly everywhere now! Enjoy your spiders and flying tiles and trampolines! Speedrunners: ...Fine. Beds it is.
Honestly I like the "Fairies like these bottles" explanation because it gives us a reason as to how these elusive creatures are able to be caught so easily. Like... yeah, they're little fragile babies, they love the sturdiness and security of a well-made bottle to hide in.
I found two things out during my playthrough. One if you are stuck/out of bounds the game resets you to the last place you were in bounds and Two if you echo a bird and he fights another bird they both get very high in the sky and if you grab your bird you can get very high in the sky
I noticed that too regarding out of bounds, you get put straight back with some I-frames but I’m sure they’ll find some manipulation…. There are also invisible walls EVERYWHERE to deal with
@@complainer406 A lot of the key items for progression are enemies, so I guess you'd have to randomize whether they spawn, too Also, since the way you can solve the same problem in this game is pretty diverse, a randomizer might not be as limiting as it is in other Zelda games
Huh, I didn't know they actually put invisible walls around that beach during the opening segments. They aren't there later, but I guess they want to make sure you don't sequence break until you reach that first town.
@@MaakaSakuranbo yup kinda sucks it cost 10 rubees to make smoothies but since your inventory starts out pretty large you can just make a bunch and almost don't have to worry about it again
It's really interesting watching someone and comparing how they solved puzzles vs you. Like i never realized the spider could be utilized like how linkus used it and the way he builds is different than how i build around using the elevator platform. Also for the mole boss it was mega bs when he dove down during wing phase that he got stunned on the statues but when I did it the game just swallowed them up and despawned it so i had to wait for the tornado phase to end.
@@dragonflare2457 Nah I always had mine on the yellow sand, he still just smashed through them, the only time I was able to stun him was when he rushed across the screen
For anyone having trouble with this: pay attention to the shadow, wait for it to fully stop moving, move 1 square to the side, and then spawn the statue behind you. It is really precise, but once you understand how it works it is super consistent
16:26 if you think about it the fairies do love the bottle as they only leave if you tell them to (by using the bottle) or to save your life Wich shows that they can leave by themselves (exeption is wind waker Wich shows they are sad)
Fun fact for TH-cam-onlys: Maizey made this thumbnail! She's made quite a few at this point, like the Link's Awakening speedrun explained video thumbnail!
@@awsmrs aws they deserve to know about maizey's hard work! She did so well its crazy, it looks like the actual models (and if it wasn't obvious by the name yeah I'm the same LordLyka as in twitch chat lol, didn't think I'd see you in the comments lmao)
More than speedruns I'm super interested in seeing what the minimum echoes (unique types or uses) it takes to beat the game. There are so many different strategies it'll be awesome to see what people come up with
In Swedish, the letter "i" is pronounced like the letter "e," which is probably why Linkus is pronouncing the companion "tree" instead of "tri." Fun Swedish fact :)
I like how pretty much EVERYONE calls Lefte and Wright stupid for stepping into the rift when they just, y'know, impulsively and reflexively tried to save the KING. In a fight-or-flight situation, they both immediately chose fight without a second thought. So I'll be chilling in my corner giving them props for that loyalty instead 👍
In case anyone didn't know, impa's name was originally designed to mean impart because she helps you bu imparting information like in oot she gives you Zelda's lullaby and in this she teaches you the spin
40:00 The Wind cannon ist kind of broken. It is 2 tiles high, so you should not be able to jump on that, but for some reason you can jump on it from the backside (and only that side). My guess is the wind current pushes you a little so you can get on top of it. Since it costs 2 Triangles it's not that helpful to climb high, but if 2 tiles is all you need it can help you get through a section without having to spawn multiple objects.
So this is a cool thing I found wille playing the game when you rest in a bed it takes such a long time to regane health [but if u rest regane hafe a heart and get out of the bed and back in it go's alot faster ] (This is just a faster way to regane health:p)
@@ShyRangerI wouldn’t say it’s cheating because either way you’re going to sit there and wait until you get full health so just get it over with quicker lol. It’s not like it’s giving you an unfair advantage. Unless you’re using the bed to regain health in combat… but I just use smoothies in combat
I didn’t even know it kept healing you if you stayed in the bed since it took so long, i assumed constantly getting on and off the bed was the only way to do it lol
It is sooo fun to watch different people play this and see a different solution each time. For instance, I've seen several people fight the first boss by spawning enemies to fight him, this is the first time I have seen you can actually just pull the core out with the synchronize ability. How did I not think of that as they literally show you can do that with the dekuranha right before the boss!
I didnt even tried that on the dekurahnas lol, but when i saw that boss it gave me immediatly vibes from the block bosses in tears of the kingdom, where you also had to pull out the core like that. I just love that they just put different good things from different zelda titels and just mashed them together in this game
It’s funny, I had the thought to use bind on the Link mid boss to remove his shield & make the Peahat go brrr. But I didn’t think to use it on the rock boss for some reason lol.
linkus! what a pleasure to have u back! unfortunately, i’m playing this for Christmas holiday because now i don’t have time due to studies and i don’t wanna get spoilers, so i won’t watch it right now. but i will once i play it myself :D
I love how Linkus is really hyped about it, talking about how much he loves the look, whil Smant just went full maniac, and tried to absolutely break the game wherever he could 😂😂
I'm almost done with my playthrough already and through all my immense enjoyment of the game, and the noticing of all the classic Zelda references, I finally went "this feels like Zelda 64" and my partner watching my playthrough just goes "and boom goes the dynamite" like they were just waiting for me to realize and point out that this game makes me feel soft in the same way OoT makes me feel soft. Even the pause menu open and close noises are modernized uptempo remixes of the OoT pause menu noises.
I love seeing Zelda speedrunners dive into a new game! It's like watching someone discover treasure for the first time 🗺️✨ Plus, I can't wait to see what wild strats they come up with! Part 2 is gonna be epic! 🎮🔥
Yeah i got a physical 1.0 copy and i noticed that it already had an update. Found out that the reason why was because on version 1.0.0 faron woods just wont load. Youll have trees but no ground under them!
I didnt see this happen during the video so want to let you know that if you push the right d-pad to select your echoes then push plus while the menu is open, you will pull up an alternate selection menu that is like the ocarina of time item menu. This is far superior to the scroll wheel. Also make sure you explore Hyrule, the game has several hidden mini dungeons you can complete with a fun surprise at the end of them. You may not want to do them for speed runs but for personal enjoyment they are quite nice. Hope you have a fun time in Hyrule.
I just beat this game this week and seeing you fight Mogryph is frustrating. I did not realize he would hit the statues and be stunned like that. that fight took me forever to do, and the other times you fight him as well. LOL
46:11 that was the idea of this game to make it so that sword fighting was a second they purposefully made a time limit on link’s abilities so you are forced to fight with the echoes
While the initial bottom objective is closer, the top objective is probably preferable; water is faster than spider for smaller ledges up to 4-5 tiles high, and doesn't need a wall for said 4-5 tiles. (also can go infinitely up and along a wall.)
I somehow never remembered I could use a crawltula or a platboom to get up walls in my entire playthrough. Honestly kinda glad though, because I enjoyed having to strategize with box and tree stacks.
Great Ad placement Linkus ^^ As someone who gave you a tiny critique on it, I thought to at least say when it was well done :P Also glad you are having fun with the game. I dont think I will personally buy it as I am not interested in it despite being a Zelda Nerd but Im glad I can experience it through you ^^
If you throw a bomb at Ganon right as he tosses the tennis orb, it explodes and he takes damage-- I'm pretty sure this is a good damage option but I could be wrong.
I love how Smant's title is "Zelda Pro Plays Echoes of Wisdom for the First Time" and yours is "Zelda Speedrunner plays Echoes of Wisdom for the FIRST TIME". Funny to see.
I've watched three different Zelda speedrunners play this game and I gotta say, bed OP. Also, I'm really curious to see the theory-crafting for summon to beat bosses for speedruns

good job using the same title as smallant

They're like cats who like to get in boxes and other tight spaces, but of you closed the box after they got in you're still a psycho
Also Wind Waker fairies: Fucking Crying
The fairies can leave on their own but only do it to save your life
Thinking of windwaker, all I can see is propaganda.
@@Shadox-yv8ms I was about to comment on this, they look significantly less depressed lol
Im now basically watching three lets plays
PointCrow: Omg its so pretty
Smant: Go brrrrr
Linkus: Speedruner PoV
same
exact people
SAME
I saw Smant first haven’t seen Crow yet
I mean, if you know Linkus, you also probably and Pcrow and Smant as well, so I'm sure many people are doing that 😂
Same but I’m also watching Grand PooBear

@@ShyRangerthat exactly happened between a battle of a guay and a crow both went so far up you couldn't see them
A randomizer of this game would go especially hard
fr
What would you randomize? Enemy and echo objects spawn locations?
@@Bertinator-nm9ld Learning the echoes would be an item check
@@complainer406 A lot of the key items for progression are enemies, so I guess you'd have to randomize whether they spawn, too

For the Mogryph fight you need to put the statues on the yellow sand. The brown sand eats items so that was probably why your statue disappeared.

Good times.

I’m curious if minimum recorded echos or minimum spawned echos will be prioritized, as well as how using swordfighter form will be counted.
In Swedish, the letter "i" is pronounced like the letter "e," which is probably why Linkus is pronouncing the companion "tree" instead of "tri." Fun Swedish fact :)
Same in Japanese
Same in French too, it messes with my brain every time.
Whahuh? Linkus is Swedish?
@@thereseopel8448 Yea how you never knew?
Arguably, English is the weird language there
honestly i didnt even realize the game came out
Same
that's cuz nintendo knows its not going too do well so it didnt get the hype like other games
Same here. I figured it would be in development for a few more years.
same
All I remember it was around this year or the end of the year for the game to come out
8:20 “invisible wall” also known as the Ceiling
You can tell Linkus didn’t see the Still World trailer
For this game, maybe we should call him Zeldus7.
I'm 20min in and it seems like Zelda is completely overpowered xD
I'm glad he did the Link's Awakening speedrun before this
24:30 Zelda just went Corruption Mode with no e-tanks! The mechanic crossovers in this game is very busted!
LETS GOOOOOOO ANOTHER GAME I CANT AFFORD
Get a job lol
16:35 No no, the others were EMPTY BOTTLES. These are FAIRY BOTTLES! They're literally just built different!

Its spiders and beds all the way down. Which sounds like a creepier version of that Princess and the Pea story.
Hmm... spidery beds.

I was really excited when Linkus finally got the hawk sta-tuah!
In the early game, if you make a sea urchin echo and grab it with X, it’s OP for combat.
THIS WAS RELEASED ON MY MOMS BIRTHDAY
The Zelda saving the princess meme became real
30:57 a COW!!! …moo…
I rewatched this too many times
beds are basically the best item. and i love it
It will be interesting to see which echoes speed runners will skip getting to save on menu time. Safe to say the bed won’t be a skipped echo
Can't wait to see more of the Legend of Link
Did I watch all of this live? Yes. Am I going to watch this whole video anyway? Absolutely!
its funny seeing him have all those theories about exploits and whatnot when the invisible walls are really just there for this first part
I somehow never remembered I could use a crawltula or a platboom to get up walls in my entire playthrough. Honestly kinda glad though, because I enjoyed having to strategize with box and tree stacks.
50:30 oh, I didn't even know that.
I accidentally finished that fight too fast, because I grabbed the poe and it placed fire under itself lol
You're the reason I looked up hawk tuah. I hope you're proud of this.
You can go to via + to the noteblock and there you can select echos way better
been refreshing for 2 days hoping for the next one soon!
Great Ad placement Linkus ^^

Milk+salt is a pretty OP combo, restores a good chunk of health and fully refills a maxed out energy meter
Committing arson within less than two hours is wild
Real shit this sponsor is legit. Those sleep masks are such a game changer
and I just finished watching the link's awakening speed run. lets go!
Yes the rift at the very beginning can catch you and you have start the race again, I saw Quin bobin do that
as someone who is called robbie on a daily basis for my whole live its kinda weird seeing chat at around 29:20
So glad I watched this live
Before this video: Coach
After this video: Business Class
I have a feeling that Randomized gameplay will work perfectly with this game, all for the best reasons.
Ok guys we had a Peach game and a Zelda (for real) game, which game are they gonan cook next ?
We need a Daisy game
Waddle Dee
Wand of gamalon?
you do game over if you get caught by the rift in the intro section lol. most embarrassing moment of my life
Linkus, the Hawk-tuah statue is outrageous.
The crawling spider echo is gonna be OP for speed runs for sure
i cant wait for the leaderboard to come out
This game would be so different if Zelda got caught when she got tripped, then the whole world got consumed
I’ve never in my life wanted a randomizer more for a game
I appreciate that this is the same exact title as Smallant but instead of "Zelda pro" it's "Zelda speedrunner"
The fact that this game is not called the legend of link: echoes of wisdom is a shame
I somehow managed to skip the entire water dungeon with a Bird Echo and bind
What do you mean with skip?
