correct!

[@TrueCrouton]

What's interesting is that I think a lot of placements on this list would be a lot different if you started the timer when you were able to control Link instead of when you started the game. Cutscenes absolutely demolishing the rate at which you can touch water in the likes of Wind Waker and Ocarina of Time lol.

[@j0rts]

yeah I'd be curious to see the difference in times this way

[@jackneely7772]

​​​@@j0rtswind waker would be like 5 seconds because you can backflip off of the tower

[@TrueXiarno]

@@jackneely7772 Timed it. If you sidejump the frame you get control of link, you can touch water in barely over a second.

[@Chernobog2]

Depends, is this "touch water % RTA?"

[@taqresu5865]

I think Link to the Past should still be fairly quick since the rain counts.

[@mynamesaretakenwtf]

It’s incredible that windwaker is one of the longest runs to get to water

[@bluewind314]

I know Breath of the Wild has that puddle of water there right before getting out of the chamber, but I mean... you start off submerged in water before even waking up.

yeah, my mine said "wait you start in water"

[@mitchhamilton64]

i think you have to make hte decision to touch water. otherwise ocarina of time would be the same, over in the opening cutscene. ...i think. cant remember if its raining in that cutscene on the bridge with ganondorf

[@Silverwolf9562]

@mitchhamilton64 It is raining in that cutscene yes, but that was also a dream technically so I do not believe that counts.

[@mitchhamilton64]

@@Silverwolf9562 the entirety of links awakening is a dream. again, im sure it only counts if the player can choose to get wet.

[@arjanstoel]

In Links awakening and in BOTW you start in water, before you can walk. Does that count?

[@darrenmacqueen9884]

If it's only during a cutscene, then no, it wouldn't. In some of his earlier videos, the opening cut scenes showed characters touching grass and he said it didn't count. Needs to be during gameplay.

@@darrenmacqueen9884 what? you seriously havent played BOTW? it starts as a cutscene and then youre immediately able to walk around in it lol

@Spimbles I played botw long ago. If you're able to walk around in it, I don't remember. What water you can and can't walk around in aren't the things that stick in my mind.

I know that Breath of The Wild makes you touch water instantly, but I’m excited for the others

[@sirennightshade4977]

Whoa, dude. I'm legit stunned that you put Tri-Force Heroes in this. I haven't seen it appear in literally any other Zelda compilation before, even though it was one of my favorites (it let me play with my husband :3). MAN was that game hard to find other players with after a good month or so, though.

[@j0rts]

I'll be honest I didn't even know the game existed until I started doing these videos, but it sounds like a fun time

[@NuiGrant468]

@@j0rts not to be "that" guy, but how come you don't include the hyrule warrior games? is it because they lack the "legend of Zelda" in the title? Or is it because they aren't main line titles? i wouldnt expect you to include Link's crossbow training.

[@j0rts]

@@NuiGrant468 I like to stick to just the mainline games, and I don't personally consider the Warriors games as Zelda mainline games.

​@@j0rts I'm just so glad you didn't leave out minish cap. I love that game so much, it was the only zelda game I owned as a child and its always so sad for me to see how little people know it.

[@sirennightshade4977]

@@j0rts It definitely was! It was a lot of fun, surprisingly, given I don't like repetition and after a little while it comes down to farming items so you can make outfits. (I forget exactly what the outfits did aside from change your appearance...) BUT when I was playing it during its initial release, my husband and I had a terrible internet connection so it was really hard to find a third player, and a lot of the time they were really bad. X'D The gameplay was super fun, though. Different weapons and effects, up to 3-person puzzles, and so lighthearted and easy that replaying levels didn't feel like a chore.

[@razzledazzle1462]

I forgot how damn awesome Wind Waker looks

[@j0rts]

even the gamecube version holds up

[@AngelofGrace96]

love that the ds games actually murder you in the tutoral levels. Especially Phantom Hourglass. Like, this is supposed to be WW Link, who can swim, why is he drowning!!?

[@Obbels]

Technically, BOTW is fastest because you start in water.

[@Muhammad-lq7fu]

That's not water it's special water that make u sleep

[@3possumsinatrenchcoat]

I love how wind waker, despite being THE water zelda game, takes the longest amount of time to any of the previous games by a significant margin.

It's now time. We all knew it was coming. It's time for Kirby to touch some grass and some water.

[@redstonewolfx]

I love the buildup he almost always does in Phantom Hourglass when dying to the video objective

[@DjVortex-w]

I think that rain may fulfill the letter of the requirement but perhaps not its spirit. "Touching water" usually means "touching a body of water " (such as a puddle, river or lake). If you wanted to be super-technical, there's moisture in the air so that's automatically "touching water", but it's not in the spirit of the challenge.

[@Kevbo2040]

Not only do I love these videos, but this one reminded me that Tri-Force Heroes *actually exists* as I literally forgot that. I think it was the only Zelda game I never played...besides like the CDI nightmares. 😬

[@YOUR_NARRATOR975]

Rolling always makes you faster. Even if you move at the same pace, yoy move faster.

[@Kitty-Kyun]

[@joshjohnson6891]

Too bad you touch water so quickly in Link to the Past. The swimming animations of Link when he swims in the rest of the game is quite adorable.

I don't know why I feel so satisfied to know how fast you can touch water in each Zelda game, but I do. Definitely do the smashing a pot task!

[@Heymrk]

I bought a WiiU after the Switch came out. My rationale was there was nothing out for the Switch except for Breath of the Wild and Mario Odyssey because this was the initial slow period before Nintendo ported everything from WiiU to Switch. It just didn't make good financial sense at the time. So when I got my WiiU, I got BotW, Bayonetta, Mario Kart, Mario 3D World, the two Zelda remasters, along with some Wii games like Mario Galaxy and New SMB (since I skipped the Wii generation), and a few other games. It was a good haul. Most of the games were used and really cheap by then. I had a ton of fun with it and got my money's worth. I didn't upgrade to the Switch until late 2019 when Octopath Traveler came out (and I didn't have to deal with scalpers). While I no longer have my WiiU, I still believe that it was a good financial decision to get the WiiU for the first year of the Switch lifespan.

[@yinja3406]

ironically, the wind waker was the third longest one to touch water

Great! Now touch sand

[@joshjohnson6891]

J0rts' rule in his touching series is he has to be in control of the characters in order for the criteria to count. So Link's Awakening won't count because the intro is a cutscene. I dunno about BOTW haven't played it but if it is a cutscene, it won't count. If you control link, he was just wrong.

In botw you litterally touch water as soon as you start because the shrine of resurection has water where link wakes up. Bro has been taking a bath for the past 100 years.
