How fast can you break a pot in every Zelda game?

One of the core elements of Zelda is breaking into people's homes and smashing their personal belongings, so let's see how fast we can do it.

[@JJ_R]

It’s funny that the first two Zelda games don’t have pots in them, considering they were documented as prequels to A Link to the Past by Miyamoto. That would mean that the Link from A Link to the Past broke every single pot in Hyrule, before the timeline got updated with more games.

[@Octo5043]

Sequels?

[@Chris-gx1ei]

They are actually sequels

[@JJ_R]

Oops. I meant to say A Link to the Past was the prequel. I goofed.

[@KaitouKaiju]

The great Hyrule pot shortage

I like how little middle-ground there is between 'easy, 30 seconds tops' and 'half an hour, minimum'.

[@Iffondrel]

Love the 10/10 split between "games that take several minutes to a half hour to break pots" vs "I found this pot within seconds." It's very satisfying.

[@romano-britishmedli7407]

I'd personally put MM and BotW in their own category. You don't have to do too much, just play some minutes of the intro. Not comparable imo to actually beating fucking dungeons. So I'd go: 1 to 10 -- 11 to 12 -- 13 to 18 (I guess LoZ and AoL don't really count).

[@broncos435]

especially on the portable side lmao. it's like they got to the DS era and were like, "max speed motherfuckers"

[@Bioniclewiznch]

Could easily save 10+ seconds in ocarina of time by just going back inside Link's house after talking to Saria! Link has his own pot that just doesn't spawn during the intro I guess, probably to hide it from you.

[@ninteney9777]

Was thinking the same thing

[@TeamNinjaCats]

After the intro in Link's house is the only time in normal gameplay that you're left in control on an alternate scene setup (which are normally reserved for minigames and cutscenes). You can tell it's happening also because your C buttons aren't dimmed, and actually all C items would be usable if only you had any to equip. If you immediately did a savewarp, you could skip talking to Saria, but it wouldn't be faster.

[@PhoenixDening-cz5wd]

Or not leaving his house at all

[@murasakinokami9882]

I read the title as "how fast can you break every pot in a zelda game?" and went, 'damn that's dedication.'

[@rjai5003]

I like how Link’s Awakening Link can apparently drag a chain chomp around, but lifting a pot is too much for him

[@catriamflockentanz]

Maybe Comet (or whatever his name is in your language/version. Why was the name of a Chainchomp of all things something that needed to change?) is just very well behaved?

[@Mimi.1001]

To be fair, these pots are somehow completely impervious to sword slashes. These aren't your standard boring old Hyrulean pots which break by any means (like spontaneous combustion).

[@MLennholm]

He's got good footing and strong hips but weak thighs and a bad back.

[@HungryWarden]

@rjai5003 in the remake, the chain chomp cooperates a little bit more.

[@79bigcat]

Fun Fact: the BoTW Guardians were based on a particular kind of pottery. They try to speedrun how long it takes to break players. The series gave them their revenge.

[@BJGvideos]

Jōmon era pottery, some of the oldest pottery in known history. The Elder Pots have come for their revenge

[@PhoenixDening-cz5wd]

Hah thats funny now do every type of pot theirs multiple in the newer games

[@zavodila9279]

Legend of Zelda: The Pot's Revenge

[@Koopai386]

Link has evolved from needing magic bracelets just to break pots, to literally carrying over 10 tons of weight

[@Eddy-xc4ni]

Now I need a video explaining the maths of how much weight link in totk can hold compared to minecraft steve with his golden apples Link can hold 999 golden apples 999 regular apples and a crap ton of other things and steve holds A bunch of 64 stacks of golden apples (Idk exact number of inventory slots)

[@0ikess]

@@Eddy-xc4ni i mean for steve using gold blocks make more sense then just an apple for his strenght

[@Eddy-xc4ni]

@@0ikess enchanted golden apples are made with an apple surrounded by 8 gold blocks So it's alot more gold if you use gold apples I saw a video a long time ago where someone did Steve's strength I don't remember who did it tho and they used those

[@Toast_94]

I mean, according to BOTW link weighs about the same as 9 apples.

[@0ikess]

@@Eddy-xc4ni i mean that was in the past its not craftable anymore

[@WTheW564]

Before I watched the video I thought breaking a pot in each game would be quick, but then, when you mentioned Link's Awakening, I remembered the hours of frustration I went through before finally being able to pick up a pot after collecting the item in the SECOND DUNGEON. Actually, I was surprised how long breaking a pot took in many of the games.

[@M.cmoters]

I didn't know plots were invented in 1990. They were invented ages ago

[@keiyakins]

Re pots in Clock Town: There are pots in the sewer, at the Observatory, and on top of the Clock Tower. If memory serves, there are also pots in the secret back room of the swordsman's school. All of those take longer to access, though.

[@renatraqo1170]

Twilight princess could of been done faster as there's a pot behind beaus house

[@Rebateman]

We need to see how all of these Zelda challenges would be on Link's Crossbow Training.

[@realGeorgelucas18563]

You totally smoked those pots, dude!

[@justanotherweirdhumanbeing6862]

I remember suggesting this under one of your previous videos. I can't even begin to describe how happy it made me to finally see this ^^

[@HarleyMaebry]

You know, the 2D Octoroks are vaguely pot-shaped. You could have broken those…

[@Azurious]

I wonder how fast you can commit murder / kill an enemy in every legend of zelda game

[@HeyitsEkim]

you dont need to leave links house in Oot. just immediately save and reload after intro cutscene and a pot magically appears in there

[@Mothuzad]

Link's Awakening, Level 2 is actually shaped like a big pot, thus taunting you even more than you realized

[@caitlynmcmunn]

Your personality is really what makes these videos. I wouldn’t watch just anyone break pots in every Zelda game

[@zarfen]

The pot breaking sound triggers nostalgia like crazy!

[@jamessnedeker4799]

A little bit of unknown lore - pots were invented during the filming of the 1990 movie Ghost. Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze's ghost were just messing around with some clay and accidentally created a pot. Not too long after that, Shigeru Miyamoto made a business trip to the Nintendo of America headquarters. He was racking his mind for some hook for the next Legend of Zelda game to be released for the Super Famicom. On a late night flight back to Japan, he ended up seeing the inflight movie Ghost and had the inspiration that would shape Zelda games for years to come.

[@Howlflame]

I want this to be a run in GDQ. Just some madman frantically swapping out games and consoles while nattering on about pots.

[@judebox9438]

After years of rehab. Link still falls back to his old ways.

[@odamorales2619]

I like breaking pots too and I’m not talking about Zelda

[@catriamflockentanz]

0:49 j0rts: "No pots? Fine, I will settle with breaking _spinal cords_ instead." Who knew that the invention of the pot saved the world from a mass murderer. -At least as long as he never finds Paella on Razen...-

[@JerryFlowersIII]

I don't know why I keep watching these. I don't know what I'm getting out of them. And I don't plan to stop.

[@re_4merchant]

Technically for skyward sword theres plant pots in links room that you can break. They just don’t give you rupees

[@WilliumBobCole]

Okay but how fast can you break *every* pot in every zelda game?

[@ChristyTina22]

Majora's Mask has 3 pots at the base of the astral observitory, each with 5 rupees. Probably faster your way. I like to spend any extra time on my 1st 3 day cycle filling my wallet from these by leaving through the moon tear door, re entering, then repeat, then running to the bank when full. I usually get about 1,000 rupees deposited before the night of the 3rd day.

[@stegomasaurus6737]

Contribute to the Economy in every Zelda game. (Buy something.)

[@Th3BlackLotus]

Now you have all those pots. Now how long can it take you to get high? 2d games, how long till you can get to the top of the FULL world map, and 3d games, how long until you can get to the highest point in the game?

[@Ryguy6749.]

Jorts has the weirdest obsessions in video games.

[@zakuraiyadesu]

Love the videos, man. Keep it up!!!

[@skarloey1214]

0:09 then i think you would love Dragon Quest

[@FireFoxie1345]

For Twilight Princess, you tried opening the ONLY locked door in the village.

[@kokirikid6130]

I'm pretty sure there is a pot inside your room in OOT so it should be faster.

[@Kevbo2040]

This is *science* people!

Thank god someone finally covered this, for years I’ve been trying to find the true answer to this question! Fr tho great vid 👍

Next episode idea. How fast can you touch rocks in every zelda game

[@madeleineevelinaguekguezia550]

Good idea - I think posting “Go kick rocks!” would be do the trick 😹

[@m2pt5]

How fast can you touch a rupee in every Zelda game? (Or touch a coin in every Mario game?) Rupees in chests and coins in blocks shouldn't count.

[@QuadsMid]

Jorts, the *pregna lady* doesn’t need to be waited for cause stepping the platform skips her walking

[@user-xo5wd6sg5z]

"without saying a word.." in TWW, throwing a pot has Link call it a ho.

I misread this title as being "How fast can you break _every_ pot in every Zelda game?" One, that is a hell of a feat. Two, how would you know you are done? I imagine data mining and meticulous tracking.

[@xxAmi15]

Is the power croissant available in different colours? I want one for every outfit.

[@JJ_R]

Still watching the video, but Link’s Awakening was blue, while Oracle of Ages/Season’s was brown/orange.

[@xxAmi15]

@@JJ_R Yeah, I discovered that after the comment too! But my wardrobe sadly goes beyond blue and brown 😔 let’s hope some hylian salesperson has a power bracelet collection somewhere

[@ZipplyZane]

Are the L-1 and L-2 croissants in different colors?

[@catriamflockentanz]

Maybe you can find a wider selection of colors in Monster Hunter Double Croissant?

[@wolfcl0ck]

Good video. Straight to the point with its claim. Pots successfully broken.

[@Pumpernikkle]

mmmmm croissant

[@YOM2_UB]

Off the top of my head, the only other pots I can think of in Clock Town are in the sewers/Bomber's Hideout and observatory, and the required hide-and-seek and/or brute force finding 1 of 120 possible passcodes is definitely slower than the Trading Post pot.

[@agamersinsanity]

Power Croissant xD

[@tinyetoile5503]

One especially notable thing about the pots in Link to the Past is that they're stronger weapons than the master sword. Most enemies will go down in one hit if you huck a pot at their head.

[@chadgorosaurus4898]

"now we can finally start smashing" Try not to make a joke: *impossible*

[@daedriccheddar4639]

In Ocarina of Time, you can gets faster time if you exit Link's house and walk back in. For some reason, the pot in his house only spawns after you reload the map after the opening cutscene.

[@TheBreadPirate]

They deserved it. (Freaking pots, ruining everything)

[@loganhall3477]

I have no idea why I like these videos. I just have the dumbest smile on my face the whole way thru

Fun fact! There were a few years there when Chain Chomp was in more Zelda games than Mario games -intro’d in Mario 3, don’t reappear till Yoshi’s Island; in LttP and Link’s Awakening :) Wow! The past!

[@User91894]

As a true Zelda fan, hell yes this video needed to be made.

[@nicksh1990]

This is an amazing video, and I'm honestly so happy you used the Gamecube Twilight Princess because it has so much more soul in it than the flipped versions!

[@CassiusStelar]

Is this a running gag I'm not privy to?

[@nicksh1990]

​@CassiusStelar no? I'm not sure what you mean. The Gamecube version retains Link's left-handedness, but subsequent releases (Wii, HD remake) made him right-handed, owing to using motion controls, and most people being right-handed. For me, personally, having played all three versions, the Gamecube version feels the most charming. Something was lost when they flipped it. I don't know how to explain it other than, it lost some of its soul. Most videos showing TP use the Wii or HD versions, so it's nice to see the Gamecube version.

[@CassiusStelar]

@@nicksh1990 it's the same game mirrored across the X axis dude, what the fuck are you on about?

[@nicksh1990]

@@CassiusStelar no need to be quite so rude. You asked a question, I answered. I understand how they flipped it, it's just that, to me, the Gamecube version has always felt much better.
