Can I Beat It Without Dying: Let's Play All of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom - Day 1

Botw and Totk for all intentions and purposes are completely separate from everything else. If they were connected, yeah, you'd be correct. But this hyrule is different from link's normal hyrule.

[@thememeilator2633]

@@leolen8029 that`s what im saying though. the Hyrule in BotW/TotK is different but so much time has passed that the very structure of the land has morphed and changed due to who knows what. now if you deem the era of myth and what one of the devs said (i think) as not canon to BotW and Totk then yeah i agree but the devs did say that it takes place furthest in the overall timeline so they are connected just not by narrative.

The moment Link delivers the Master Sword to Zelda, he completes the cycle and she spawns into the world

[@shibuyaneko5741]

[@zoeschmitt1624]

Yes I love how you can literally see her flying through the background during the first fall ( 5:19 and again at 5:32 ) so that when the title appears Link and Zelda are both on screen. You just wouldn’t know if you’re playing this blind for the first time. But yeah, the sheer perfection of comedic timing that is RT asking where Zelda is the *moment* she bursts through the clouds. Incredible

[@ShadowSkyX]

It's hilarious when the game gives you the quest to find zelda and a dragon is on screen. 😂 The trailer before last, they technically showed us what happened to her and even played her theme using the dragon instrument.

There's already a Speedrun posted on KZbin, sub-2 hours I believe. Honestly most of what RT did here is pretty similar. No exploits or anything (major anyways) to abuse yet

CAN WE TALK ABOUT THE MUSIC TIMING AT 57:30? Cause holy shit i ascended the moment RT fused the new ice rod and the triumphant strings came IN! LIKE GODDANM THATS SOME REAL HERO STUFF FR!!

[@HazeEmry]

57:30 maybe?

​@@HazeEmry damn u right lemme change that real quick

I figured I had played enough of TotK to start watching RT's playthrough, without having to worry about spoilers. The idea was that watching him play would give me the motivation to pick the game back up, and finally face the boss for the first time. I now realize that it was foolish of me to assume that RT would wait to fight the final boss.

I love that Link has a Wii remote as his right hand

This was one of the most legendary gamer moments I've watched live on twitch, had me literally cheering you on in my car after work (couldn't drive home, too invested)! Bravo, sir, the RT Legend!

I joined the stream when it started for the hype, then had to leave about an hour in. I came back a while later, and it was about 30 seconds before the Colgera spawned, and I have no words to describe the thoughts I had in that moment.

I don't know much about zelda games, but my favorite thing is always how everyone has these like in-depth conversations at link and he just goes "hUH!"

51:07 “It just keeps going” sums up 90% of my experiences with this game so far, and in the best way possible

What isn't included here is when chat went ape mode upon seeing Purah, and the chat got put in sub-only mode

Knowing bits of the story always makes the start so much better

[@andrewchapman2039]

I am now glad I waited until I'd finished the game before coming back to this series. Damn man, you crazy.
