How fast can you touch the alphabet in Tears of the Kingdom?

I've been touching a lot of stuff in Zelda games and now that Tears of the Kingdom is out, I'm on a journey to touch EVERYTHING in this game.

Hi there! I'm j0rts (Ben), and I like to explore mostly pointless things in video games while playing them in weird, unconventional ways.
Despite my name, this channel has nothing to do with jorts. In fact, I've never even worn a pair of jorts in my life. I just find the word fun to say... j o r t s.
Anyways, thanks for taking the time to check out my channel. If you'd like to hang out with me live, be sure to visit my Twitch channel over at / j0rts

not just the men, but the women and the children too?

my dad was playing totk in ever the first thing he did to zelda was touch her p e r s o n a l i t y

[@WoodlandDrake]

I prefer to think that X touched me

Quince is the real hero of this story. A man born with a single purpose.

He really is the most important character in ALL of the Zelda games now

[@Chubby_Bub]

Fun Quince fact: in BotW he is one of the only NPCs outside of the desert to react if Link wears the Gerudo outfit, because he is looking for a girlfriend

[@Sanestjo]

​@@Chubby_Bub That means there's probably quince and link fanfic 😳

[@N0rmalName]

If alphabet% doesnt become an official speedrun category i will be slightly peeved

[@sashashadowhive6128]

it should have a rule against naming things yourself inmo

[@roryschussler]

I'd love that. But there would be a lot to define. Like how do you count an (adjective noun) combination ? Does a hot footed frog fulfill H, F, or both? What about environmental items where the name doesn't appear in the interface and there are possible synonyms? So much to make rules over.

[@MacZephyrZ]

Alternatively, you could go get an old map from a sky island for X, 'cause X marks the spot.

[@IdentifiantE.S]

Cool thanks !

[@alenietouh4789]

Or die

[@itsdarkhere]

Or you could just die.

[@o1497]

Now make a challenge where you have to touch every object from A-Z BUT in alphabetical order

[@aidanandandrew7214]

Then he’ll beat the whole game

[@spacecat8511]

That’s honestly what I was hoping for tbh. Who else played Alphabet with street signs on roadtrips?

[@Banus-]

I was just about to say this

[@upside_you_mop]

Yeah and the how fast part would be a Speedrun cuz it was agreed that Speedruns end when you catch zelda

[@bottlerocketgaming1025]

Unfortunately you have to pick up the decayed master sword so idk

[@DonutDelivery]

It takes kids YEARS to speedrun the alphabet, this run is truly monumental

[@DagoDuck]

This could be fun to speedrun, especially since other languages would give you other “seeds“

[@Eddiember]

You forgot Queen Gibdo. It would likely take a while, but it is there to get Queen.

[@Rune_Scholar]

Queen is a title. If we went with that then he wouldn't be able to get Z with Zelda but a P since she is "Princess Zelda".

[@Eddiember]

​@@Rune_Scholar Decayed Master Sword. Decayed is an Adjectived, not the actual name of the Master Sword, yet he counted it. Ergo, Queen Gibdo, as its the compedium name in the game, should also work.

[@byzantine5761]

@@Rune_Scholar I mean, in the game Queen Gibdo's name (in the Hyrule Compendium and the boss bar) is Queen Gibdo, whereas in the intro cutscene, Zelda's name is listed as just "Zelda" when you're looking at her.

[@Rune_Scholar]

@@byzantine5761 Looking at her profile entry and how it is displayed at the beginning of the game it is "Zelda Princess of Hyrule." "Princess" is still a typically preceding title, as is 'Queen'. Unfortunately, we don't know what name the Queen of the Gibdos might use and thus we go with her title only. Now you could make the argument that it isn't a title at all and that its in the spirit of "Queen Bee" which is far more likely considering the arthropodic connection. In that case then it is designating the role she plays within a eusocial insect colony, and not the proper species name which is simply "Gibdo". Alternatively you could ignore all perspective and context and simply say that it should be decided by the first letter that appears upon the name or label of the item, object or character as seen in the game world, to which I say: that's dumb.

[@Xerknight_she-her]

Or even better, he could’ve just gone to that one QUARRY in Akala

I wanna see this done in order, while landing on saving zelda being the last letter at the end of the game. Basically, I wanna see a any% speedrun while touching this alphabetically

[@Piper_____]

I agree. This sounds great, and was sort of what I was hoping for

[@lolrentz]

There's a researcher in Kakariko Village named Xalis. He's researching part of the ring near the chasm.

[@King_Tuft]

I knew I thought I remembered a character in this game whose name began with "X"

j0rts: *sees the most beautiful scenery in totk* j0rts: Imagine looking up and seeing a naked man falling from the sky

[@LavenderSkyCat]

"Imagine looking up and seeing a naked man falling from the sky." I will never not think about that every time I play Tears of the Kingdom.

[@GerardMenvussa]

Finally. A decent playthrough of this game.

[@IdentifiantE.S]

Finally

[@Athrel]

I feel like this could become a speedrun category

[@itsmekevvv]

This is getting so advanced. Once again, you've surpassed your audience's expectations. Thank you Master j0rts 🙏

[@notageologist3022]

the real x was the horse we met along the way

[@mytromic]

3:46 “but it turns out you need a life to open this door”

[@sunnyhvar1992]

That's why I never go outside

[@t.s.s.8342]

Great vid, nice implementations of the grass touching and getting a life. Love the content!!

[@bigtoast4192]

The horse name plot twist was actually riveting

[@DisKorruptd]

Actually, I hated that, it was lazy as shit... "I can name my horse, therefore it counts" If you take a picture for the compendium, it still says "horse"

[@ChibiRuah]

this feels like a parody, remix and call back to your other touch series. I love it

[@HungryWarden]

That was a great twist at the end. Real clever planning ahead like that.

[@SuperCrazf]

You also touched water and got on fire so, nicely done!

[@themissionslayer]

I was wondering which letter would become a horse lol This is premium content, it’s so obscure but sooooo good! Keep up the weird and wacky fun my friend!

[@fforby]

Got naked, fell from the sky, and got a free Purahtendo-Switch 👍

[@Waitwha]

"We've touched grass in TOTK!" Still doesn't mark G

[@knightslicer9696]

To my knowledge this won’t help with this challenge but the names of light roots are the names of their corresponding shrines backwards, so for example if the name of the shrine was gaharba, then the name of the light root below it will be abrahag

[@InfinityCuberRS3M]

this man never runs out of ideas

[@Midnight2010_]

For real

[@Pumpernikkle]

Thank you j0rts for teaching me how to read

[@Twithab]

Did you know that in the files of breath of the wild, there is also a decayed master sword, the one in totk looks different but it does the same damage and has the same sound.

[@JBKiser]

Naming the horse 'X' is such a bullshit copout ending.

[@Xerknight_she-her]

Blud forgot about the quarry in Akala

[@kymmie_girl]

Totally was not expecting him to touch them in alphabetical order. Honest.

[@Shxaun]

"I'm on a journey to touch everything in this game" Me too, but instead of everything, its just one thing. And Im sure many people would agree with me on this one.

[@glutentag5853]

This man could've completed so many things, but just didn't say that he did. 1) air 2) gloom 3) boat 4) constructs and the list goes on.

[@Frost500-e3i]

Imma try this when I replay the game most likely in a few months

[@asrieldreemurr1988]

oh this is a very cool idea

[@RainbowDashShadesOfApproval]

Each of your videos should be a speedrunning category

[@bukajgary3217]

These should be legit speedrun categories.

[@kirakat5]

You forgot so much it hurts me. Even in the beginning you touch the master sword, the archaic pants, then you didnt count the first construct

[@AbridgedAnime]

This would actually make a good speedrun category

[@tobiaskoran6787]

There are multiple Vases on the sky island. I am going to assume that they also have Earth geology and therefore definitely have some Quartz lying around or incorporated in the rocks. And finally, the Zonai guardians attack anything that does not resemble them or their creators which makes them Xenophobes.

[@elwinroyale]

Now in alphabetical order

[@Oracle2448]

You didnt need the apple you touch air, and M your started holding the master sword. C you are wearing yhe Champion tunic, and H hylian trousers

[@Thaijler]

You touched water for W, right in the beginning.

[@grey2407]

Your art is so beautiful!

[@TheMhalpern]

Touch Zelda in every Zelda game. Edit to make it a bit more reasonable for at least a couple games, like BTOW and Windwaker, I think allowing some somewhat spoilery technicalities should qualify, that way you don't have to go through the whole game, (the BOTW technicallity would be a TotK spoiler)

[@somebodylikesbacon1960]

what's the botw one?

@@somebodylikesbacon1960 spoiler for TotK: the light Dragon is Princess Zelda, technically no collision box in BOTW but you can "touch" her with arrows to get materials.

I love feeding my zelda obsession at random times during the day *now do the speedrun in order of the alphabet*

[@Half_soda_half_milk]

There’s no an item called 'Zelda', so I think maybe it's more plausible to touch Z with Zonai things?

[@theamazonbois7970]

Quince the MVP of this run

[@Mahalo-loa]

0:38 You technically touched R during these cutscenes. Or would it be more accurate to say that R touched you ?

[@prof7304]

You want a Challenge? Fine: Get the Mastersword WITHOUT leaving the Sky Islands Part! (So no Hyrule and no Deep Dark) It should be possible but super hart! . . . Spoiler on how to beat this challenge: . . . You just need to farm a lot of sonanium and Energy cells in order to use flying maschines to get from one sky island to the next. Alternatively you can repeatidly use Recall until you battery has recharged in mid air. Then you beat 20 shrines in the sky, get your Second stamina wheel and boom onto the dragon!

[@nataliamorales4508]

You literally touched water falling through the cut scene of seen the legends Zelda, tears of the kingdom😂LoL

[@Heymrk]

Would the X in the Depths that you get from old maps in the sky have worked for X?

[@sleegon7475]

This gives me a good idea for a challenge. Can only use one item that starts with a letter from the alphabet to beat the game. If I want apples I can't use any other item that starts with A.

[@sophiesmidnightsquad]

Was anyone else screaming when he swam in water and didn’t count it as W (before he got the stick)

[@softpaw6234]

Naming your horse to make a dumb challenge easier is absolutely cheating

[@blackcat5360]

I'm so mad to find out I've made it through most of the game and was apparently supposed to get the master sword at the very beginning and somehow missed it

[@teathesilkwing7616]

Nope. You get that at the start of the game no matter what, but then you lose it after the tutorial and have to go and find it in the world if you want it again.

[@blackcat5360]

@@teathesilkwing7616 yeah I realized I just forgot that I already got the sword and gave it away to Zelda 😭
