Download Asphalt now to save your progress for Asphalt Legends Unite's release in July: gmlft.co/alu-linkus7 | #asphaltlegendsunite #alupartner Really loved working on this video, if there is any other games/categories you want me to cover/explain next be sure to let me know!

[@Sadge_Gamer]

Hi linkus, how ya doing?

[@StockyScoresRaoraPantheraFC]

Hej Linkus! You're the best!

[@XiaoEdits_]

First!

[@jtepicgaming]

Plz do a OOT one

[@Chillgolfer9664]

Asphalt is such a good game. It’s been a while but I love racing in Asphalt 9 in 2023. It is a grinding game but I cannot complain because how good the game is.

[@gravy7861_]

what's so crazy is that Pope can do all these frame perfect movements flawlessly while talking to and reading chat.. but on top of that he does it while the most aggressive alerts and TTS play.... like constantly. 10/10 would recommend checking it out.

[@Colty]

Dude makes an already hard game harder for himself, Pope is legendary.

[@justjosh4453]

He was in a stream? If he messed up even once during these glitches he'd have to restart and he was having conversations??!!!!

[@NotYourFriend-YT]

Right, it's absolutely incredible. I never realized just how precise the Majora fight was ... had to lift my jaw off the floor between the two phases.

[@TheDawrina]

Pope is literally a hometown hero. Absolutely love that guy.

[@popesquidward]

you the man!!!!! great video, thanks for showing majora's mask to a larger audience. hope to see more runners of the game soon :)

[@Colty]

The game really does deserve more love! It is such a gem!

[@prinny7963]

Stare Takes a great Speedrunner to know one

[@wolfiemuse]

Isn’t Majora’s Mask very well known?

[@Colty]

@@wolfiemuse The game is well known yes but for speedrunning the game isn't held in as high of a regard compared to games like Ocarina of Time and Super Mario 64 etc.

[@wolfiemuse]

@@Colty Fair.

[@Mythical31729]

Guys at the end of this stream he said if this video did well, he said he'll do this with Oot, And if that did well he said he would learn Skyward sword and we all know he "hates" skyward sword

[@voltron77]

Yeah, it’s probably his favorite Zelda game, but he doesn’t want us to know it.

[@XanderBit]

he said he’ll most likely get a new wiimote as his has weird tracking

[@Link-xs4je]

I really love this kind of videos explaining the glitches, skips, movement and other simple things keep the good work coming linkus and I am still waiting for ww all dungeons wr I trust you linkus and gl

[@themuffindragon]

I love these kinds of videos. I actually prefer the VOD review over a live playthrough because you are able to put more focus into the explanations

[@costelinha1867]

I love how instead of using her MAGIC FLYING BROOM to reach her sister and give her the potion, she just tells this random kid to go give it to her.

[@ek0dev]

In her defense the shop music is very cool, who would want to leave Edit: nevermind i didnt get to the part where he said she wasnt in the shop for that part

[@4203105]

10:15 people might wonder why there is a grotto exit but no grotto there. The answer is that there are two grottos with 4 exits in deku palace on the Japanese version (in addition to the bean grotto that is there in all versions). They were removed on English presumably because they weren't necessary and somewhat confusing.

[@awsmrs]

Yeah, I just learned that in Shesez's new video lmao

[@4203105]

​@@awsmrs I knew this like... oh my god... 20 years ago. In fact I found the clip in swamp gossip that is used in this run to clip to and exit this grotto. Not 20 years ago though. But probably 10 at this point...

[@linklight2]

These speedrun explained videos are really good, because they allow you to watch a speedrun in the future and actually be able to enjoy watching it. Not understanding anything and not having it explained makes it hard to watch speedruns in general. Ty for the explanation and I'm looking forward to seeing more content like this!

[@Johncw87]

28:02 You forgot to mention that the only reason why they are able to talk to the fairy in goht's room is because they deleted their ocarina earlier. Doing this makes the game think you are in first cycle again, complete with a faster clock, and fairy prompts 10 seconds after loading every room. This is critical to the speedrun, as there is no other textbox in goht's room that can be used for action swap. I learned this from watching ZFG's randomizers.

[@birb--birb--]

SO SICK! Would love to see more of these glitch breakdown videos:) much love and MLEM (just for you kaiser)

[@chrismolina2145]

It's incredible how I keep learning new things about this game so many years after! I never knew that the witch from the shop would leave her stand to go and look for her sister, and it also makes sense, that she wanted to go search for her in the woods. Props to the developers

[@andrewdillon24]

Holy shit, pope mentioned. That’s awesome! His MM 100% world record speed run is one of my all time favorite runs to watch.

[@mbcodes18]

I remember listening to it in the background and switching to watching it when it seemed like he was actually winning. Great run.

These Glitch/Speedrun explanation vids are some of my favorite content on your channel. It's so fun to learn little nuiances of information about how a game is programmed and such that make it exploitable in the strangest ways.

[@Matt23488]

MLEM That was for kaiser miles at 15:00

[@ProbablyAlivePerson]

I saw that at 3:32 as well

[@Werewolf914]

I've been looking for this comment in hopes someone knew why that Chatter wanted us to comment MLEM but sadly I still have no idea what it means

[@AvocadoAna]

Definitely love these breakdowns, it adds a fun layer onto it for a casual perspective and showcases the skill these runners have in order to do all the precise tricks one after another with ease. Thanks for the quality content :D

[@nifo1013]

This was great to see! Your expert commentary really made it worth watching! :D Love your enthusiasm and energy when you get to explaining the really hard and interesting parts!

[@Ragestav]

This is the first vid I was able to watch you record on stream, very cool. Great as usual! More!!!

[@heidilizjohnson]

I don't often comment on videos, but I wanted to jump in here to ask for more videos like this explaining the glitches! I personally play all my games vanilla, but since discovering your channel(s) a few months ago, I have deep-dived into your content and am absolutely fascinated by what it means to be a speedrunner. Thanks for putting out great videos as well as for making videos like this that "make sense of the glitches" for those of us that are new to the concept. Cheers!

[@jasons9895]

This was fun to watch live and would love to see more of them Especially for SS/ SSHD or TP/TPHD , whichever is more broken

[@michmill7007]

I think the Wii versions are a little more broken.

[@namelesshalo___583]

I actually love these breakdowns it helps to understand a speedrun in games we might not be familiar with to help enjoy the speedruns more

[@laurencelagace5465]

Watched it live on twitch but still love to watch it here once again! I really love the commentary, it is clear and allows regular people to understand and love the speedrun even more! ❤

[@alejandrocortes1149]

Imma be honest, seen link pick up "The blue zone" killed me. I can only imagine devs of this game seen this and having a good laugh 😂😂😂

[@MordredXIV]

It was a fun watch and I was pretty dumbfounded at all the glitches used being a pure casual to Zelda. Would love to see more of these videos for sure! Pref OoT and TP (totally not biased nope)!:3 cheers from Lidköping!

[@grip7777]

I like these kind of videos. One of my all time faves of these is fearful ferrets speedrun of DS2 with 5 rotten because its explained in a way I can understand and follow the kind of "planning" that goes into a run.

[@Vyomesh839]

"You have 3 days to save this world" Link: "Bet, gimme about 2 hours"

[@Apollyon26]

I love seeing these speedrun explanations, knowing the inner workings behind glitches is always awesome and your explanations are always so intriguing

[@RSSUX]

I’ve been a fan of speed running since I discovered GDQ in 2016. Seen many of your runs along with PopeSquidward and many others. Thank you so much for making a video I can finally understand!

[@Edymos1000]

This is a phenomenal description of this insane speedrun. I know your specialty is WW but this is an amazing play by play of this run. OOT was one of my 1st loves so far as speedruns go but MM is my favorite between the 2. I love the specificity that is used to differentiate the OOt and MM runs

[@Zentrus665]

Damn the passion while you explaining every single step ! you got my sub for that. Thanks this was very enjoyable ! :)

[@SA00Toad]

Your speedrun explained videos are literally some of my favourite content on KZbin, I'd love if you did one for all 3D zeldas and even more beyond that

[@timmaia5082]

This was a great watch, I appreciate the WW stuff too but would definitely love to see more content like this!

[@cesco7306]

aah, an og explaining one of the most interesting runs :) glad you're doing good linkus, crazy world we live in

[@barleythefoxdroplettthedeer]

I love the glitch explanation videos! I'm about to practice speedrunning majoras mask 3d and I like knowing why glitches work! Even though 3d is different from N64, I like knowing this anyways! Tysm!

[@zu_zu2193]

This guy does a great job explaining things! Good video!

[@whisker163]

Absolutely love these commentaries! Please do more in the future!!

[@codybourque5571]

[@starcast5834]

Always love watching your runs Linkus! Keep up the amazing work that you do!

[@jellelliott]

Linkus, love the content, always have even in my teen years! I Actually love the sponsorship this time and used the link to support you! I hope it makes a difference somehow :)

[@Krimson241]

this was great!!! it was very interesting to see this type of break down, and it would be amazing if you could do more like it.

[@winningdaugther6387]

i really enjoy the breakdowns of speedruns, would love to see more of this

[@lilmommasothick]

Genuine and authentic content makes these videos so relatable.

[@spikeimperial]

This was amazing to watch. Grew up with windwaker then played mm and oot. Would love to see more of these breakdowns please!

[@hjewkes]

Definitely want more breakdowns, killer editting and commentary.

[@blinkin7795]

first off, thank you for this i love the speed run deep dive, more would be amazing. i actually enjoyed the 2nd boss fight with the goron mask, i loved the spike roll, the running high speed battle was awesome, and the zone (i think) respawned magic jars to keep you charged. i actually really liked all of the original intended mechanic boss fights except the first one (i found it boring), they all felt really epic and unique.

[@fireassaul]

More videos like this, super well explained and fun to watch!

[@gabehuntley1310]

I would love to see you put up another video on this sort of topic.

[@Colty]

This is so awesome Linkus! Majora's Mask is easily my favorite Zelda game, I can't wait to run the game myself.

[@charlie123abc]

Love these type of videos with explanations!

[@TechKing-128]

Actually a few years ago glitch finders found a way to warp to the moon after the first cycle skipping all the boss masks

[@Brooke2Valley]

Different catagory. Any% unrestricted. This is Any% no major glitches.

[@EddatheWicca]

these speedrun explenation videos are my fav linkus content

[@darkulator5020]

very good video! I love to see more stuff like this. Even for a video that is that long its still very entertaining until the very end

[@ericb3157]

i think it's worth mentioning: in the North part of Clock Town, near the great fairy, there's a minigame area that involves using the Deku's abilities to complete obstacle courses. completing this three times (once per day in the same cycle) gets you a "piece of heart". it's possible to do THAT during the very first cycle! yes, i've done it myself. also, i like to get the Stone Mask, which makes you invisible, before going into the pirate's lair! that makes it REALLY easy and fast to get through! no glitch needed!

[@ekrymeta]

Thankfully, Linkus did a great job explaining things so I was able to follow along and understand it, but that certainly doesn't make these glitches any less ridiculous

[@rylannygard5851]

Absolutly love these kind of videos! Love you Linkus!

[@justinle5866]

Yes please do OOT! Been binging all of your speedrun explanation videos

[@JDella909]

I love this kind of content in general and I think if you continue with even more detailed explanations and broader games then you’ll reach a larger audience too

[@Cactus_Junky]

Loved the video! would definitely watch more breakdowns

[@liampouncy7808]

Really good video as always, dude. =] I'm interested to see what impact explanation videos like this have on the various speedrunning communities - hopefully they can help expand their reach and help make more niche runs/games more popular/sustainable.

[@SuperJoshi94]

I like the glitch breakdowns. First, I can actually understand the runs instead of being like: ......... yeah, what the hell just happened? Second, they give me some understanding of how the games are programmed and thus exploitable, which is just really interesting. Third, they make me want to try some of the glitches by myself. I' currently trying to get storage and super swim in WW to work consistently, just for fun. And if I get there, I might attempt mss to actually be able to start a speedrun attempt... yeah, probably not gonna happen, but one can dream.

[@DecayedPony]

I love older zelda speedruns, tthey're so broken and even when he's explaining everything still have no idea whats going on but its fun

[@pmurc2933]

Please make more of these. This was great

[@Strategic_minis13]

I love these linkus. A suggestion I would like to make is a link to the past speedrun explained.

[@melacsirrah198]

Hecc yeah I want to see more things like this. As a game developer by trade, I love seeing the way passionate communities interact with the game as a medium and see how they interact and manipulate the code to perform these awesome glitches!

[@bandom3115]

Love these kinds of vids Linkus your explanations are awesome!

[@josephbartz4451]

[@prizm9515]

Majora's Mask is a super entertaining speed game. Super fun to learn about all the new crazy glitches.

[@Rockalanche]

Let's Go. I love hearing Linkus explain speed run techniques.

[@slicedhippy7776]

Love these videos! Keep it up!

[@AroundTheBlockAgain]

I know it takes longer, but fighting Goht as Goron Link is one of the funnest Zelda boss battles for me, so my heart breaks a little when speedrunners do the bow strat. Another Top Fun Zelda Boss for me would be Twinmold as Archery Practice, which is always fun to watch (but especially in a speedrun). Thanks again to PopeSquidward for lending his VOD for this showcase!

[@keybladewizard49]

please do some more speedrun react/explain videos! I love this kind of thing!

[@Sabadasz]

would love to see more of these type of speedrun breakdowns

[@Limomon]

Yeah, I'm definitely interested in more run explanation stuff, Wind Waker or not, Zelda or not, I'm here for it!

[@komur4092]

This is a super cool video, thank you for making it

[@MrLevonhardt]

i would love to watch more content like this! especially the oot 100%

[@AndresLionheart]

Of course you should do the other games. I've been watching all these different Zelda speedrun explanations from you. I always pick up an easy trick here and there to use on a casual run. This time I learned about simply back stepping to clip between the guard and the wall to escape Clock Town early.

[@killingwing02]

I like the game break down vids! It's help me to know how game is design and what cuz this effect. And it really fun to watch :D

[@RoyDontHugMeImScared]

This guy is an amazing speaker. Almost no "umm" or "uh" during the course of this.

[@KuraiMaaka]

Yes, I would like to see more Zelda Speedrun breakdowns but also just throwing this out there, maybe some glitch breakdown and/or tutorial? Like I wanna learn how to do some more glitches for MMR, but trying to watch other tutorials is painful cause either the whole process goes over my head or the explanation just isn't that great. Anyways, Thanks for the vids Linkus

[@justjosh4453]

I like to call the 1st cycle "the deku cycle" cause you literally only play as a deku and it's less confusing than "1st cycle." Many other people do this tho ik.
