[@-en_x3]

If you wants to include Zelda, you could talk to the one pre-intro. That would add a lot of time to the run, tho.

[@modthefirst3405]

When you talk to Paya, this run becomes Homewrecker%😂

[@emilyjanet455]

Ship % - get as many of these characters onto a ship

[@noxriderash4174]

run suggestion: dark defeater% - kill one lynel, frox, talus, and hinox (all of any rarity) in the depths using no light source (lightroots, brightblooms, and zonai lights are not allowed) other than glow elixirs/food/armor

[@yigawaffle]

Maybe even have to wear the entire dark link set?

You could try for an all unique horses obtained%. Register them all at a stable each with a unique name. This includes Spot. Epona optional b/c amiibo.

[@Pizboyfrog18]

Sleeping with Hudson%: get one of the Hudson boards then take it to link's house and sleep with it

[@therealevilmudbug]

Get laid% 2

[@mondsternleinch.5253]

Not gonna lie, the School bus was clearly the best one out of these. I would like to see how fast you can get the 15 logs necessary for rebuilding the Lurelin Village BUT you have to use snow-covered conifer trees like they grow around Rito village. Call it Treelivery%. Timer stops once the quest 'Lurelin Village Restoration Project' is officially completed.

[@avo2986]

Drip%- You have to get the phantom (from spirit tracks) chestpiece, Link’s awakening helmet, and the Glide leggings and wear them.

[@indy_com]

[@CordyBrush]

How about GetGanonAJob% ? Get Ganondorf stuck in a food stall autobuild made out of that indestructible part from the construct factory xD

That would be really funny, but I think powerful enemies like Ganon have a method of auto-destroying builds.

Fashion%: Get the cece hat as fast as possible, put it on, and talk to a (non cece) fashion lover

[@alexandrejanvie7076]

You asked some ideas if there is a follow-up video, so i followed! here's some ideas that could be nice to do on stream: 1- ToothFairy% : you need to collect the teeth of every enemy that drop them. 2- ImmoralDecision%: Do the Lynel colisseum with only gloom weapons. 3- 3LevelHorror%: Do any labyrinth in it's entirety, without looking at the mini-map. 4- Zonai%: get every zonai-themed set ( glide-mobility-up and energy-up ), and do the spirit temple. Hope you have fun on one of them, or on any other that get chosen from somebody else !

[@user-ui8vk3pk6n]

speedrun suggestion: device%: get all zonai devices as fast as possible, one of each will do. the other suggeston i had was this: back to hell%: drop a korok into the depths as fast as possible. i hope you try one of these out linkus!

[@AngelofGrace96]

skydiving% : find the highest island to the lowest depths position you can dive to without using your paraglider or donai device

[@Apollophelia]

Tip for Talos with shoulder or back deposits! ascend through the Talos and walk slowly off its back til you land On Top of the deposit. (Its a pretty small walkable area but its definitely there) Once youre on its back, mash charged attacks until it bucks you off, and then spam bomb arrows with a lynel bow in bullet time until you land. Smasher fuses do bonus damage Everytime! And you can recall their thrown stones to stun them for easy access too

[@yoshidababies4222]

Seeing Linkus7 build a school bus and roleplay talking to the Koroks as the driver when things went south is the most wholesome thing on the internet. Definitely need a follow up to this video! My idea for a meme speedrun: suicidalostrich% Make an ostrich commit suicide by jumping off a cliff or walking into lava (can be done in BOTW, not sure about TOTK)

[@gykx92]

PurahPlushie% - Give Purah one of Riju's Seal Plushies

[@ObliviMancer]

New Speedrun Category: Potato% I want some mashed potatoes, but the only ones in Hyrule seem to be these big glowing green ones. Grab a shrine crystal and bring it to a cooking pot. Don't forget the butter and salt!

[@Twistplotter]

yes

[@portiac6097]

We should give it to a stable npc

[@techspec2551]

Party% You must start a party for a random npc complete with balloons and games like 'pin the bomb flower on the korok'.

[@jimbo2091]

Skittles%. Dye (15?) armour pieces in each colour at the Hateno dye shop, you may use any armour piece as long as it is dyable, you may also use any material to dye the pieces. Timer ends when you have 15 armour pieces in your inventory with their colours. Other variations of names include: Rainbow%, Dye%, Colour% to name a few Edit: Its a long speedrun so you can shorten it by just dyeing 1 armour piece 15 times

[@Azrael_griffiths]

It's good to see some of the ones from botw have made it to totk

[@Samo_Bzd]

Torture%! You have to get at least 1 (max 3) backpack koroks, bring them to where you first find hestu and make hestu watch them as you unalive them over a bonfire.

[@jujulautre]

Cool video, thanks ! As for an idea, "I rode a dragon!!" %: take a selfie of yourself flying next to each type of dragon. Bonus points if you can actually stand on the dragon. That said, if you want to make this harder, replace all instances of "dragon" in the previous sentence with "lynel". That could work too.

[@Sea_Moose1]

Theres a minecraft achievement called Caves and Cliffs where all you do if fall from max height to min height without dying. So I propose CavesandCliffs% You jump from a sky island into a chasm with without dying and you cannot use the paraglider to break your fall but you can use the paraglider for horizontal movement if needed.

[@HungryWarden]

[@stevesamuals2651]

How about doing a maxhorse%? Essentially, the rules are 1. Get a horse from the opening area of the game 2. Open up malanya 3. Max every stat on the horse. If you want to speed up the process you could try for a horse in a different region with better stats (like the gold one) but i think its more interesting to take the first horse you find and make them the best

FloatingScale% - Collect a scale from each dragon (and King Dorian!) and attach to an activated, floating hover stone while on Floating Scale island

Tinglyballs% get the entire tingle set and make 10 rice balls while wearing the entire set (bonus points if you upgrade the tingle set)

[@FredrickTheKorok7]

Very funny, great job. I have experimented extensively with the Autobuild Cancel glitch, and I know why the school bus fell on the mountain. I’m sure you know using Autobuild makes the materials fall to the ground, what might not be as commonly known, though, is that using any power with L button also cancels it; the L button power must be unused AND stay on Autobuild. For example, if you change it to Ascend but don’t use Ascend, the glitch will stop. When you used Ultrahand to attempt to attach the third Korok, this deactivated the glitch. Hopefully this information is helpful for future speedruns.
