[@PeterPutze]

The Story of how Link took a super weird one hour and some minutes nap where he reads two german books and woke up a whale

[@86tjfender]

😂

[@probablytawny]

The skip going around the back of the mountain blew my mind wide open. So fascinating that something like that would be built into the game

[@IthraTheWarrior]

It's impressive just how much this game has been broken already. Super fun speedrun to watch!

[@Envy_Dragon]

Shout-out to the audience member who shouted "UNLIMITED POWER" at 23:03 or so.

[@traviscasey9108]

Its speed runs like this that are getting me more into watching speed runs. Love the commentary and the way they get the crowd involved. Overall just a good happy atmosphere. Great run keep up all the good work GDQ and all the amazing runners that make the event special.

[@iambaptized]

Shoutouts to TGH for actually reading those books, bless him. To say nothing of the rest of the run and everyone involved (including the foxes and Hinox, lol). This was a blast!

[@BetaXeeta]

The donation that said “Link? Did you have a good dream?” hit me harder than I thought it would, I started tearing up

[@DodoRebirth]

1:00:40 I'm German and I found this wunderbar

[@sexyphone6652]

Its wonderful

[@noahnaugler7611]

I would love to see a four swords anniversary type game in this style. Ive always loved the idea of other swords than the Master sword with their own powers

[@hateferd]

The music in this game is so fucking good. This remake is my absolute favourite Zelda-game.

[@probotector6949]

1:00:10 For a non german speaker that was actually pretty good. :)

[@RobinLSL]

I love how this game had competely different skips from the original!

[@allc4ps]

Haha, love the German book reading session at 1:00:30 & 1:10:32 - zis is hilariös, ja! Great run by TGH and awesome commentary 👏

[@ilovethe7thday]

This was my first time watching an entire run of a game, and it was absolutely amazing! Great runner & commentary, and for a great cause! Can’t wait for the next GDQ to maybe catch some of this action “live”!

[@thecactuscat01]

All of the little Papyrus laughs in the crowd make me happy.

[@mittensfastpaw]

Always fun to watch this community no matter what year have fun during such runs! (Still wish none KZbin subtitles existed for my deaf friends though.)

[@Yesnomu]

The books in German were hysterical. Great work, pretty clean run and very fun to watch!

[@tatunuotio6016]

Fun fact: when I was a kid, I bought the original gameboy game from a flea market. The seller told me that the game would last me for a lifetime. There was some truth to it, as I found out at home that the game was in German with no way to change the language...

[@undergroundmonorail]

That definitely sounds like something they'd say if the cartridge was haunted

[@BenjaeTV]

1:00:35 As a german I'm laughing so hard

[@nomansland6372]

Agreed 🤣

[@roberthiggins4186]

as a dude who took German for my degree, im laughing my ass off.

[@chrismilton3240]

As a guy who doesnt know German, I am laughing my ass off!

[@lemonboy5498]

Really great runner, couch, and donation-reader! The chemistry and fun times in the runs are what make GDQ worth watching.

[@alri1054]

It's awesome how Patty's legend carries on ;D

[@zelpar]

I never realized how beautiful the German language could sound until he read it.

[@Lilie339]

This was such a fun run to watch!

[@flutterbree]

This was such a fun stream to watch, and the audience was so into it it have me a little hype 😁

[@calabeilobby]

First Instrument Amber: “It’s totally a guitar” Cellos: Are we a joke to you? 😂 Awesome run! Great job!

[@icecreamget]

it's a banjoo

[@Simon0]

It's a giant violin.

[@paolo6219]

I think it's a viola

[@elbee_12]

It's a recorder!

[@MayuraVyamsaka]

According to the German copy of the game it's a violin yeah (du hast die Muschelgeige erhalten = you've obtained the Shell Violin); but the English copy does call it a cello I believe

[@prometheus70516]

I've never heard German sounding so beautiful, and I'm a native 😂

[@adamscotkearns]

I'm so glad Amber started the "celebration every time Link celebrates" thing, I love runs that have ongoing jokes/chants

[@pablogracia8247]

Amazing run, runner and couch. Great plus having a runner who doesn´t care on the time if it brngs more donations.

[@anthonymichel7949]

That improvised book reading incentive was hilarious.

[@lawlezzninja9916]

Love how casual they are about link drowning being cute 😂😂

[@marlena8492]

the person yelling “cheater” was hilarious

[@DrifterGameplays]

this game is little gem, very easy to pick and have fun

[@SteveNathn]

I've played through this game 3 times and I never knew you could kill the "gordos" on the beach with your sword. I always just pushed them with my shield

[@apocrypta.]

loved the runner and the couch on this one!! the explanations were great along with the audience interaction

[@CalJamesy]

Same guy who did Undertale in the previous year with some of the best commentaries I've seen.

[@b3an_rs]

I was so confused to be able to read the game's text in my mother's tongue lol

[@MThreeRNz]

I think this has to be the first game ever that's the fastest in german lmao. Edit: After watching the run: Shoutouts to book reading

[@bouboulroz]

IIRC, Breath of the wild is faster with german text and french voices.

[@attk177]

BotW as well ;)

[@brokenmind1994]

Breath of the wild used to be run in German for a while I think, not sure about the current status

[@AxelTheAussie]

Twilight Princess's German version is faster too

[@ChIMeRaTeX]

Games like Ratchet & Clank are fastest in German too ^^

[@happyshabbygames]

13:25 That is a 6 string bass.

[@ianpanz]

checkmate speedrunners

[@Warriors_and_Wanderers]

Sounds like a viola / cello played high

[@paolo6219]

Sacrilegious viola

[@sloppyphart7879]

No it's a cello

[@dtracers]

This was my favorite run out of all of the runs so far

[@Atlessa]

56:28 Native german here... apology accepted. Edit at 1:01:20 Hey, that wasn't so bad. Edit 2 (after the interview): Wow... didn't think we germans had such a high contribution to GDQ. I hope my fellow Deutschländer weren't too offended by TGH's attempt at german book reading. :D

[@hobielein2334]

I never heard of germans being offended by non-natives trying to read german words out loud. I only know many who find that really amusing :D

[@doopness785]

Odd that German ends up being faster when German on average is often more characters per word than most other languages

[@AyaTanaka_]

its our speciality, we can fit whole sentences into only one word

[@ImoowhenIPoo]

Thats because german is able to combine multiple words into one longer word.

[@liamwhite3522]

Well, aren't long german words just multiple other words strung together? If you can get the same meaning across in 5 words with about 8 letters each on average, or 1 word that's 40 letters on average, you still save time from not having spaces.

[@AlbySilly]

Maybe german words has more information packed in each word

[@IschmarVI]

Its because of how the text boxes are formatted

[@lushvoodoo]

Absolutely fantastic run, I loved it! Props to the runner and couch!

[@tangentlime8864]

Links Awakening: BOOK PERCENT

[@demilad225]

That was downright hilarious at the end.

[@iZYL0]

Loved this run hope for it to be at sdgq

[@TonyTheTGR]

48:04 Guest starring Shovel Knight

[@dipt_tpid]

That was a great run, and the crowd was super involved

[@Epinardscaramel]

I remember this game on the GameBoy!

[@GreatistheWorld]

How the hell did they determine German was the fastest language *because of formatting* already? Game hasn’t been out a year! Incredible

[@steved4677]

people always forget the very first Zelda also had those 2d side scrolling parts in dungeons as well.

[@SijmenMulder]

Great run but the crowd and donations especially stood out here, love the vibe!

[@henryg.8762]

honestly the couch was just vibing in the beginning

[@alphapolimeris]

Cool run. I know I am weird, but I kind of prefer the old 8-bit soundtrack... A bit more peppy. I am still super happy this game got remastered.

[@AbramsEX]

Impeccable German pronunciation from the TGH! Vunderbar!

[@kappa6542]

a remake of favorite zelda game ever .

[@Funkysly2]

Hahaha, i laughed so hard as he read the books in german. He pronounced it very good. :D Great run , i did enjoy it , and you all should too. DA DA DA DAAAAAAAAAAA! *raises hands*

[@counterargument-cz1lq]

Worth it just to see TGH sprecken ze deutch

[@briankenney9528]

I cant rush though the game cause I don't want the island to disappear so

[@DarthFennec]

I just now realized that "Tarin" and "Marin" are mis-romanizations of Talon and Malon ...

[@SpingotGoomer]

It's actually the other way around, since Link's Awakening came first, and Malon and Talon's names were inspired by Marin and Tarin

[@XceptDeafeat]

Oh really what do those mean? I always assumed it was reference to Terra (earth) and Marine (water) sort of describing and island and such

[@Christopher-md7tf]

Yo dawg, I heard you like dreams 😂 EDIT: Dude, for someone that doesn't speak German, that was really good!

[@boium.]

So we made you dream inside your dream so you can exit your dream.

[@Cozmix-7]

Shoutouts to the Face Shrine OST

[@phinix473]

i can't believe anyone hasn't said this, PRAISE THE SUN!!!!!

[@snatcher7205]

Shoutouts to the german book reading ! Perfect german, from a native Deutsch speaker

[@PeppernatorTV]

not Bad his german :D

[@OmegaGuess]

ACNH has damaged me. I see blue butterflies around the wind vane and I immediately think "EMPEROR BUTTERFLY! GET IT!"

[@bluekirb0_yt798]

It’s funny how there aren’t 3 people on the couch so they put sonic there 😂

[@LepidoliteMica]

...why does the scenery have a top hitbox? Why was that a feature that needed to be added?

[@stanzacosmi]

It's likely to ensure that should someone get out of bounds somehow, they don't fall infinitely.

[@charlesh7962]

Ok Anyone who can gdq any game in my opinion has serious skill.

[@kingfischer]

Good couch!

[@ChloeG1984]

Can somebody explain the "honk" thing I see referenced in a bunch of Zelda speedruns?

[@cleverscreenname5698]

I love that this community is so dedicated to literacy.

[@sclarke6969]

And here i was thinking it looked good on a SuperGameBoy adaptor! (so strange not being completely birdseyeview though)

[@lillob1323]

great run!!

[@denWemzel]

As a native German, his german was alright^^

[@cortez31]

As another native German: naaah. :D

[@chanelbandit]

Doch war schon echt ok, dafür das er wahrscheinlich nicht mal Deutsch in der Highschool hatte.

[@screecher739]

just wunderbar! :)

[@evanhiltzik00]

33:26 for the best track in the game.

[@Baiswith]

made me think of the Ori and the Blind Forest soundtrack

[@cervgiovanni]

20:40 What is the full reference to the seagulls? I know about Marin and Idk what this joke refers to

[@TheGymSavant]

Marin mentions wanting to leave the island as a seagull as she assumes that only the seagulls are able to escape. So if she’s correct, if a seagull can’t even reach it, it must be very far away lol

[@joshuaking7470]

33:30 This is the song that the Wyld Stallions are meant to create. But instead the fine folks at Nintendo beat them to the punch.

[@DA4CE]

Du Hast!

[@Protactinium420]

TGH reads a book in _German_ 1:00:36 1:10:36

[@noels1711]

Sehr schöner schnell lauf von zelda links erwachen! Hat mich sehr beeindruckt

[@viperdragon29]

with him reading these books this should be called Book%, lol

[@hope_and_love]

Love this run so much but coming back to watch it again, gotta say imagine calling the DX version OG. Kids these days... 😂

[@cianskid2116]

I love Zelda!

[@ToruKun1]

Those guys dancing in the front row at the beginning are so cute LOL

[@solarair5218]

am i the only person who puts the feather to x instead of y

[@superdaveozy7863]

Imagine if this game still had the map select skip glitch.

[@Fastskull]

13:40 that is a cello

[@GDTOBIGD]

14:00 he explains why it's in german

[@rogerhogh4738]

Actually, a German can understand what you read, so this is a pretty good attempt! :-)

[@Orkanplaysguitar]

1:00:36 & 1:10:36 German lessons

[@camwyn256]

Your German is better than my Spanish

[@jaydog1712]

His pronunciation in German isn’t that bad. Btw beautiful game and nice run!

[@TheDetektiveConan]

The German was basically understandable 👍

[@Wishphoenix1]

Does anyone speak german? Can i get a translation of what was written to what he really said? Lmao Thanks for doing this awesome speedrun!

[@edi-0000]

Funniest shit I've ever seen at gdq. Hands down.

[@DodoRebirth]

Never ever have I seen German being the default speedrun language in a game

[@IschmarVI]

1:10:30 - the reason why you are here

[@alexthealex7492]

Are some people using this as a walkthrough? XD
