You know Pointcrow, since you couldn't avoid touching white at the end, that means the 4 hours you spent avoiding snow in the cold area was completely pointless. I mean watching you suffer with those boats was funny mind you, so it wasn't pointless for us at least.

[@cormenion]

Lmao wait that's so true

[@cormenion]

I am completely fine being wrong here, but I always viewed that part of dragon zelda as like a light cream color? Which is technically brown buuut that's just me

[@Gamer3427]

@@cormenion It's definitely more of a white than anything else. Maybe a touch cream colored, but still predominately white.

[@cormenion]

@Gamer3427 that's fair I completely forgot about the predominantly part of the rule

[@nightbringar7558]

While the goal was to touch as few colors as possible, it also seems like a win to delay adding a color for as long as possible.

I feel like, if you count Recall time as greyscale, you also have to count the Demon King's Army battle floor as red. PointCrow's rules seem to be more based on what color the thing "actually" is, not the color it "appears" to be at that moment.

Speedrun idea: try touching the least amount of colors but every color you touch add a multiplier to the timer so putting off touching a color actually matter

[@josephjoestar953]

Yeah kinda similar to how low% works, where the amount of colors touched has priority over speed. As well as the latest you can push the colors also having priority. So that even if this run and another that just walked on snow the whole run had the same times, this one would be higher on the leaderboard.

[@BobBob-fm6oo]

Man, he didn't even have to avoid the snow since he already has to touch white.

Im no editing expert, but only a few minutes in and this video looks very clean, such as the lil highlights instead of big arrows and stuff like that.

Is it just me, or do all the TOTK challenges kinda follow the same pattern? Like, survive the plateau, never touch the ground again, kill all the lynels with a zuggle, be invincible with fairies, and then kill ganon. Like, I think these challenges would be so much better with an at least one dungeon requirement

We're in luck. Grey isn't a color by definition. The entire rainbow of greyscale from white to black aren't colors.

[@Bolt_Does_Stuff]

@@lukijokeI was almost first😭

[@perkypears]

by these kinds of definitions, brown isn't a color either (it's just desaturated orange), and many cultures even consider green and blue to be the same color (using the same word for both and considering them just different shades of the same thing). color definitions are complicated and are shaped by language, and I think most English speakers agree that you can typically identify grey as a color

[@yashmjj]

This video is giving me serious nostalgia when we were kids, we used to play this game called "What color", nominate the guy using stone, paper, scissor and the one who wins tells everyone what color to touch or gasp in 5 seconds. after 5 seconds the guy would chase the one who's not holding the said color, if caught the guy not holding the color would lose

Should also count purple and blue. Purple because you can't place the wing for muctorok without having touched the purple first, and blue for the teleport pad when going back to the Room of Awakening for Recall.
