[@shiverian5970]

For anyone wondering about the Amiibo use, Amiibos don't remove any skill from the run, just the RNG of getting a beetle and some bananas. There are separate leaderboards without them but most top runners prefer the Amiibo category.

[@AntiNotPro]

There is a new no amiibo route that doesn't involve rng

[@davewu8938]

Also, player 5 holds BOTH Amiibo and no Amiibo WRs which is insane. He is also the first runner to hit the sub 25 barrier in BOTH categories. (sub 25 means world record under 25 minutes) He's such a legend!

[@BennyFlaps]

Big fan of these speedrun breakdown vids you've been doing

[@kazeman1698]

what i love in the history of this run is all the improvements of the great plateau, if one day we find out it’s possible to skip it, the run might be done in less than 10 min but some magic will be lost

[@Onlyitsmereid]

Based on what I know, I don’t think it’ll ever be possible to skip the great plateau

[@minecrafter3448]

It’s not possible to skip it. Insta death regardless of where you are in the world, and if you manage to prevent the entire map from loading in, you won’t be able to complete any of the boss fights.

[@chyuame]

I think that’s why I prefer the old runs even if BLSS has cut down a significant time in the runs just because I think the BTBs are so much more fun to watch. Still, I would love to see how much farther the community can go, even if it means implementing the “less fun” tricks

[@Kass686]

@@minecrafter3448 But there might be some way to trick the game into thinking you completed the plateau! If there's one thing I've learned from watching ACE in speed runs, pretty much anything can be possible, it's just whether or not it's engaging enough for the runner and the audience to implement it lol

[@gmdrandom6287]

@@Kass686 the way it works is it checks if you have the paraglider and if you don't you instantly void out when getting off the plateau. It seems that Ace is impossible on the switch OS.

[@erickthomas6133]

I’ve been watching Player 5 for a couple months now. He’s absolutely cracked at the game. Super deserving of the record.

3:50 Temple of Time? Or Hyrule Castle? Loving the breakdown videos!

[@Rizzob17]

Temple of time. He did it twice and I was like wtf?

[@WeebJail]

this speedrun is getting very cool. a lot of speedruns just kinda break as soon as newer and better tricks are discovered but here they're using basically all of the tricks developed in different places. awesome

[@ketchup016]

Yeah I was glad there's still one BTB for the challenge lol

[@pretends2know]

Current no amiibo route for Attack up is to BLSS from the temple of time to a field in Ridgeland, pick up four Razorshrooms, then BLSS to Hyrule Castle. The no amiibo route has been streamlined into the amiibo route with one detour on the way to Hyrule Castle.

[@AnarchyJess]

I've been watching P5 for a while now, extremely talented runner and happy he's getting more attention

[@spex6584]

is it not edge of duality?

[@okay9574]

Linkus, I’ve been watching your channel since your run of WW at one of the earlier GDQ events. From that time I think you’ve truly come into your own and settled in front of the camera. It’s awesome to see how far you’ve come and how everything feels so natural to you now. Much love, keep on keepin’ on, and thank you for letting me live vicariously through someone who speed runs all the games at once that I ever hoped to run individually haha

[@supremeoverlorde2109]

This is amazing. I'm not much of a speedrunner, but I love getting to see how much effort and practice goes into making these routes work. At some point I want to try out some of these glitches though. I successfully pulled off the Shrine of Resurrection escape once, but haven't had the time lately for any others.

[@SirBoomster]

That's a quick time and fun to watch! I like hearing how runs/the run work!

Never thought all those years back on its release I'd be saying I can make sure my balls are clean watching someone destroy the run scene in 24 minutes, but here we are. Loved the reaction/explanation, been a while since my last BotW run viewing so was great to get the breakdown and update on new tech!

[@mikelange7319]

I can't imagine how long this run would take to master. I've always been into speedrunning, but haven't attempted it myself. It just blows my mind what these people can pull off

[@cillijmcgillycuddy3262]

3:47 that is not hyrule castle my friend

[@TheArseen]

Nice video. One question: how large is the insta-death zone around plateau, does it extend in to Hyrule Castle? I mean could you Wiggle-pot fly all the way to Hyrule Castle loading zone?

[@TheFerdi265]

gymnast86 made a video about that: There are 2 instant death zones: one on the floor around the plateau (rather small), you can actually jump over that if you do it right and one that applies whenever links position is outside a rectangle around the plateau. the problem is: even if you could reach hyrule castle without triggering any of those 2 zones, the last ganon beast fight takes place on the hyrule field map and fhe kill zone would hit you there and kill your run

[@p1harmoney]

that's what my first thought was too. i wonder if the death zone would trigger in the bossfight. Does the death zone cover the whole boss arena? Also, has anyone tried it yet?

[@TheArseen]

@@p1harmoney I was wondering too is the kill zone in the final boss area as it is special state of the field as if you escape the area during the fight th field outside does not load or work normally, and no enemies are present. The video mentioned sai that he suspects the kill zone being there but had not confirmed it, nor had anyone else at that point.

[@meatballman_botw]

@@TheArseen it's there, it's been checked by a modder

[@TheArseen]

@@meatballman_botw Oh, OK. Funny that the game strips pretty much any property of the area away during the fight but leave the kill zone.

If you break down something for new players, i think you should use the name that most people use to call those glitches

Isn’t it edge of duality not edge of durability? As in its a dual edged blade?

HOW!?!

[@svahn1]

I don't mean to be rude but the sword that he picked up with this new route is called Edge of Duality, not durability. I understand the confusion though because it is very durable.

Can't help but wonder if it's a fan nickname for the weapon. Like the Baller Swag Sword (Balder Side Sword) in DS1.

Why does he call BLSS "wiggle bomb" but not BIL "wind bomb"? "wind bomb" is a fine name since that glitch is limited to bombs but BLSS is not limited to bombs so I personally don't understand that name

I don't get the clickbaityness of the video. It is literally a game where you can almost go straight to the final boss and get all the gear you need there. BotW has so much world but sadly almost the entire world is pointless.

[@osha_t4]

How is it clickbait? You can beat it in 24 minutes because of the new strats. It’s not misleading at all. Sure you can go straight to the boss after the plateau, but it wasn’t this fast before

[@Linkus7]

Quick QnA because I am noticing a lot of the same questions in the comment section: Q) It’s Called Sword of Duality A) I’ve honestly always called it durability, my brain must have just “auto corrected” it to that every time I’ve picked it up and the name is flashed on screens for a second Q) You called the bomb pushing glitch Wiggle Bomb, I thought the official name was Bow Lift Smuggling Slide (BLSS)? A) Yes, I am sorry but in my opinion Bow Lift Smuggling Slide is a really bad name for a glitch, I should have mentioned it once, then just called it wiggle bomb, I apologize for that mistake! Now to all the real homies who read this entire comment and are still reading, if I am being completely transparent, I think it’s really funny how passionate the comment section is to let me know I messed up this Sword Name, it’s almost as heated of a debate as “Does Pineapple belong on pizza”? (Which btw, it doesn’t)

[@niklasaxelsson2571]

Let's forget about pineapple, the big question is, does Kebab belong on pizza?

[@TheKoroks]

So BLSS is a bad name for a trick, yet you prefer BIL to Windbomb? 🤔 It's fine to think whatever of course, every opinion is the right opinion and all. I just think for a video such as this, it may be better to label certain things in their most commonly used forms simply to avoid possible confusion. Good video though, I'm glad that lots of attention is being brought to Any% as of late!

[@Linkus7]

@@TheKoroks BIL or Bomb Impact Launch was the community made name for the glitch, Windbomb is the name the glitch discoverer prefers, so both are considered “accurate”

​@@Linkus7 It is not commonly used by any active runner anymore, and most guides you will find for route dependent windbombs will be labeled as such. I never said BIL was wrong, I was just pointing out how you prefer wigglebomb to BLSS and not windbomb to BIL.
