[@SouthHill_]

Mate needs to check out 1.2 runs. They might not be quite as fast but we've pushed it far! P5 of course started running it and got the world record the other day, but Qentiko came and took it right back, pushing it more than a minute further! If only we had zuggle, then we'd frankly kick 1.0's buttocks!

[@o_poseidqn]

YES!! you should check out the new fuse route, idk if it's public but it will blow your mind with quick smuggling.

it's by mozz btw

[@eyalb8421]

@@Limcube I'm sure you'll love it! it's filled with (in my opinion) harder tricks and cool stuff. the only downside is very slow duping. anyways feel better soon!

As a musician with chronic wrist problems, I definitely understand the frustration of your own body nerfing you. Glad that you took the time to recover, and this was a super interesting dissection of the run!

[@EbrithilElda]

P5 is mental. I have subscribed to like 150 channels and I feel like 50% of the videos are from Player 5 with a new World record

[@binssi979]

The jumpslash technique is called arrow flight, it is possible on all versions but most useful in 1.20 because of quick smuggle

[@punkinholler]

Off topic but i wanted to thank you for the BOtW 100% run you did on your other channel in the lead up to ToTK's release. Last year was really bad for me and having a reliable 10 or 15 minutes a day to turn my brain off and just think about a game was immensely helpful. I know that wasn't your intention when making it but it really helped me and i wanted you to know that all the times you posted while sick or when you built up a stockpile before going out of town were really appreciated. It would have been perfectly okay if you had taken some breaks but it was also nice to know there would be a video every day.

[@oatmille]

glad you took some time to recover and are feeling better!

[@parvanaturalia]

I love it when you do commentary. I really think it's a niche absolutely perfect for you. You have people who are great amazing players, you have people who do great commentary, rarely are the two united. Your expertise combined with your entertaining and insightful comments makes for a fantastic viewing experience. Great job! Can't wait to see you do runs again!

[@brokenwave6125]

You're the best man. Most really good players are not that entertaining, and most entertaining players aren't the most skilled. You really are the best of both worlds. I was wondering where you went. I'm glad your wrist is feeling better. Wrist pain sucks. Try keeping a clay cold pack (the gel ones don't work that well) in your freezer and use that after every session to reduce inflammation.

[@Limcube]

Thats so nice of you to say and actually means alot

[@brokenwave6125]

@Limcube No problem. Also I'm a huge shrine fan so I'm looking forward to your shrine videos! The one where you did the same shrine like 40 ways got me hooked on your videos

[@RowanTS]

Sounds dumb, but I’m proud of you for taking the time to recover, and seeing it as even being something that could be used constructively. I know how hard it is to be competitive and deal with that drive to keep on forcing through, or coming back too early - and it’s always a trap. Can’t imagine how much harder that is with streaming/vid pressure on top. But this is how you keep your longevity in a sport/skill, and it’s great to see someone at such a level of performance modelling those good behaviours for their fellows and audience.

I missed your streams and content while you were gone, I hope you had a nice break and are recovering well from your injury. Super fun to see your reactions to the current WR, look forward to see you getting back into totk stuff!

[@richardmahn7589]

Funny, ever since TOTK came out, I didn't have too much a need to watch videos and theories about it, but have been lurking. Yet it was just 4 hours ago I was wondering where Limcube was, and why on Twitch I don't even see anything from him. Was going to check out the Discord server to see, but got caught up with other work-releated things. Then this video popped up!

[@vassillios16]

Was wondering where you’ve been! Hope you’re recovering well, excited to watch your runs when you’re back

[@sempercompellis]

even though you are not the world record holder it must be a good feeling to have contributed so many techniques to the world record run(s)

[@midnightantelopes]

It's so cool seeing your excitement every time there's a new strat :) Really enjoyed this!

[@AtlantikaStories]

Love your videos! I'm happy to see you back :)

[@ShadowMarth121]

Always good to see you dude, im glad your doing better and thanks for the awesome content!

its a mix of quick smuggling, and arrow flight. 1.2.0 exclusive :) 31:41

[@beatsado6529]

Although you didn't get the world record yourself, it is so cool to see the amount of movement and tech that you came up with used in the WR run. Good job LIm!

I didn't know you played guitar, that's awesome. My first guitar was a Squier, but strat model and blue.

[@cristycrenshaw9109]

Maybe unneeded advice - but as someone with long term wrist issues there are a bunch of specific wrist braces that should NOT be used without a dr advice on specific use times, because some wrist issues can be worsened by over using braces, using the wrong brace, etc etc. People tend to "fight" braces when they are using the hand and can't quite move normally, and that attempt to force more flex through the brace can cause inflammation and raise pressure in the joint. That said, the one brace type I can comfortably suggest to anyone (cool if you don't believe me, maybe ask a doc) is a sleep type brace. You are meant to wear them when not using hand at all, so that reduces that chance of joint damage. They are just really padded and come partway up the fingers to prevent one from sleeping with hand in a fist. Can be useful for anyone who over works their hands to force their hands to rest overnight. Whatever happen Lim, I hope you find a good pattern to how to manage the risks in your life without difficulty. Wrist and hand problems really suck the joy out of things until you find out what pattern of rest to activity your body can handle.

[@koalazzzzzz]

p5 at one point did try a run with the faster bomb jumps in ultra hand, coming out of ultrahand and flying to the temple, in the temple, going to recall and got a couple golds but it wasn't consistent for him so he switched back to the classic strats. that's why he says at the end of the run that some of the golds don't "count" towards his sum of best because he doesn't use the faster bomb strats in this run

[@HenryPalmer-np6fw]

Speedruns are crazy now, don't hurt your hand again.

[@TheReallyRixt]

Glad you recovered quickly

[@t3hfluff]

I was wondering where you went glad you were able to recover

[@iwersonsch5131]

There would actually be two ways to still skip the intro cutscene, and they have been brought up on Discord as a possibility. The first is to use a modification that skips that specific cutscene. That has been coded up and tested, it's the slower of the two methods in terms of real time. The second is to say "Not yet" right before encountering Ganon, then reload the GSI save file. That has also been tested and it's the faster method in terms of real time, but it wouldn't be allowed for categories that use dragons

[@tabbitee]

I've been watching P5 and can confirm, he has to reset on the regular if he doesn't get the first out-of-bounds skip, and he also put a *lot* of time into learning cogskip

[@brandon9689]

I also fell out of watching P5's progress for a few weeks. There's a little bit of fomo but honestly it was satisfying to see these tremendous leaps in tech.

[@jasons9895]

[@juny_pr]

31:38 it's a 1.2 exclusive trick called "quick smuggle", conveniently enough P5 uses it in his 1.2 world record video

[@SouthHill_]

Not world record anymore. :P Qentiko's beat it twice already.

[@turkN9NE]

[@anilnaik2649]

Though I watch all P5 yt speedrun videos, I loved your analysis..

[@paulhardin9731]

I completed all the main quests, all shrines last night. Time to cozy up to some speed run vids.

[@NugeSmashFE]

I hurt my wrist last year and didn't take a break right away. It took like 6 months with physical therapy to improve. Best advice is even if you're on pb pace, if your hand is saying No respect it and put the controller down.

[@TysonJensen]

Something gamers and coders should be doing -- forearm exercises. What we're doing is physical, we should be going to the gym and getting buff -- muscles protect against strain injuries. I went from needing braces fairly constantly to never needing a brace again by taking the doctors advice. At the time I took up rock climbing. I had beastly forearms for a while there! I'm too old for that now but I still make a point of exercising those all-important arm muscles to reduce the odds of injury and to improve recovery times if I do get injured from doing 1000 too many rocket jumps.

[@Somegoy]

I cant wait to see terminal montages video of this 😂

[@smaza2]

even just watching this guy run is making my hands hurt lol

[@orngjce223]

Honestly I would advise using the four minute unskippable cutscene to do something like physical therapy stretches

[@lessthanever]

You're like a super enthusiastic sports commentator 😂

[@user-mf4uo9ox2y]

The weird jump slash thing you said you saw is the movement in the 1.2.0 speedrun belasically they use the arrow smuggle method that's only in 1.2.0 to do the infinate jump and because they are out of stamina they don't go I to bullet time

[@letsplay7630]

Perfect video 🎉🎉

[@mythic369]

The arrow smuggle you were talking about is only in 1.2, still not faster due to dupes and other glitches in previous patches

[@EliasNXKO]

The man is back :D

[@shaqtaku]

Linkus did a nice breakdown of the current speedrun, you should check it out as well

[@GramGramAnimations]

Fun to watch someone react to this, now I wanna see another one of these down the road. And maybe keep in mind the amount of humble bragging you do for things you discovered and “blaming” others for their discoveries like ZFG instead of hyping them up; it can come off a bit bad 😅 On that note, you should totally make a “speedrunner reacts to ToTK glitches” video, since not all speedrunning tricks always end up being part of a run, or aren’t in a run yet because they are new or too difficult to make,

[@Listen2Quran5]

31:51 Pretty sure it’s used in any percent for later versions of the game

i wish i could lower my game version to speedrun as ive always been pretty interested in doing so. i heard i can reset my switch to play it on 1.0.0 but ive also heard there are alot of performance issues and crashes so idk if its worth it . if anyone knows of a way to lower game version (without a modded switch) it would be greatly appreciated

[@Hikaru1468]

in 1.2 the clip doesn't work in the intro if you didn't know yet.

[@lux5164]

try timing instead of mashing your B presses with rocketboard. in case you didnt know, you can hold A and ZL while only having to tap B

i did know that but it mostly the mix of repetetive presses and clawgrip
