god i love the speedrunning community. when we figure out the actual laws of physics theyll be the first to bork them

[@misterturkturkle]

tutorials gonna be like: you need a bed, a tree, and a spinning blade. drop the tree here. now drop the blade so it bounces off the tree and comes back. when it hits you, you have a 2 frame window to drop the bed here and it will push you through the wall letting you skip dungeons 4 and 5...

[@Arthuraardvark]

No one realizes the “hit him with the chair” is the exact same thing that one old lady says in shrek while he’s fighting those knight

[@Fixti0n]

Its oddly close to the real any% WR route. You get the rock, trampoline and sign, and a sea urchin (not chair). You use rock and trampoline to get up in the sky, then the sign to wrong warp into the final boss, then drop the chai...sea urchins on the boss until its dead.

[@SomeYouTubeTraveler]

Eiji Aonuma after seeing this video: _"Quick! Patch the trampolines!!"_

[@redshepherd32]

I feel like the speedrun is gonna just be putting a awkward shaped piece of furniture on top of Zelda while she is pressed against the wall. And she can just clip into the final fight room or drop into said room.

[@rhone733]

"Arise, chicken! Arise!"

[@Volyren]

There's actually a legit good game where you arise chickens. Undead Horde. Its on xbox, but I'm sure its on pc, too. Maybe mobile, even. Necromancer rpg. Top down hack n slash. But you're a necromancer, and you can rez literally everything you kill, even bosses. But you start with the humble chickens.

[@ArcNine9Angel]

This aged perfectly.

[@tokeivo]

I love how this got the speedrun route more right than the story. And also slightly overestimated the number of echoes Zelda would be learning...
