I love that Link wakes up and 20 minutes later he's messing up the divine beasts and Ganon before even putting on any pants.

[@cardboardmannequin4069]

Link is a busy guy, who has time for pants when Hyrule is in danger???

[@MuchachoC]

He eats Ganons for breakfast

Hahaha totally. *eyes open* *brow furrows* *grabs ginch* *shield slams some unsuspecting boko domes* *backstabs Gannon*

Link, what the HECK was that?

[@GlitchReaper]

There's just something really satisfying about watching this game getting destroyed by its physics engine not being designed for these circumstances. Converting inanimate objects into rocket ships, matrix jumps, and phasing through shrines just made this run absolutely hilarious!

[@susprahit]

I think I'll learn to do these tricks just to meme the whole game

[@amiiboacid4785]

Stasis launches were absolutely intended by the devs tho

[@lilzig420]

Honestly.. I believe the physics system WAS intended for creativity. For these extremes - Maybe not. But this game's engine is absolutely wonderful and leaves a lot to be explored, simply by the imagination of an ordinary player. If you think it, you can probably do it in this game. I love it!

[@AshepEli-YT]

And then watching it again in animation

[@jozokrstanovic9040]

I remember getting sick of motion control shit and just propelling the ball out of the labyrinth with stasis launch in the Hateno village shrine. Took me like 20 mins to figure the angle but it was worth it cause it looked so cool

[@thobsandst]

Link awakens: Majoras mask x days remaining screen Ganon: "Why does this say 33.51 ?" "Is that years? weeks? Days?" Link appears Ganon: "oh sh-"

Thanks for your Guys awesome Words, it was alot of Fun to be on the Couch. Song just prefers German Voiceacting which is a Frame slower than French btw.

[@venom671]

But says its French because it’s faster while German voicescting in background lol

[@Limcube]

@@venom671 yeah french is faster song forgot to switch lol

[@alsoknownas875]

Brilliant run with GREAT and informative commentary. Anyone who's played BotW casually knows how satisfying it is to see these enemies dispatched so easily.

[@VNYoshi]

I still remember being extremely early in the game (after arriving at hateno), when I decided it would be fun to fly to Gerudo highlands from the plateau and sees what's over there. Ended up doing Naboris with no armor, barely any weapon, 3 heart (~around 2 stamina wheel), wondering what the actual fuck I've gotten myself into. Took 4 hours, and a lot of attempts, and somehow surviving long enough to have the game literally tells me to magnet the thunder rod. Gave me PTSD so much, I roamed the map instead of fighting more beasts. Next on the plate was Vah Ruta, which went down after a single volley of electric 5x savage lynel bow for each phrase. I guess I roamed too much in between...

[@borerofhope]

"The French voice acting is faster" he says, as German voice acting plays...

[@Zant]

The language that your switch is set to is what makes it faster, changing the voice acting doesn’t change the tempo of the text

[@konnokyo]

@@Zant and still he says, voice acting is the fastest in french. that doesn't make sense at all.

[@lordskeletorde]

@@Zant Still makes no sense

[@norelle28]

@@Zant but it does change the speed in the dubbed cutscenes where Zelda talks to Link.

[@donschnulione6646]

french voice acting is actually a bit faster than German. about One frame. strange mistake in this run. but it Doesnt matter.

[@thcdbz]

omfg what a fantastic run ,, thourough couch explinations and humour , way to smash a fanstastic game roll on dlc

[@friendlypunk8975]

This is amazing! My first 30 minutes of this game were spent putting on a shirt and taking pictures of frogs... and song already beat the game in that time! Great run!

[@Skyfighter64]

I never expected Link to be taking flying lessons from General Tao from Dragonball.

[@nickcarroll8565]

I was hoping I’d find this comment.

[@lethaldrew5804]

i realized while watching GDQ runs that the reason i watch these 1 hour+ speed runs is the commentary and participation from the crowd i mean i still do love the games getting destroyed but if the run was completely silent i honestly wouldn't watch. its given me a new appreciation of GDQ events

[@josephstanichar5434]

Getting to be in the room while this game was run was one of the most electric feelings I've had in a long while. Thanks GDQ, I hope to see the show again sometime!

[@speedude0164]

The stasis rune makes this run 20 times better than it would be otherwise. People are so clever with how they use it.

[@trunky37]

"we choose french because the voice acting is faster in french" Me as a french : Have i learned the wrong language my whole life?

[@aschakida1317]

My language is german and when I heard that I tought "Wait, since when can I understand french?"

[@KiyokaMakibi]

ROFL!

[@CoxBaigts]

Just watched the Something About episode about this speedrun and it was extremely hilarious!! By the way, this run is amazing, executed perfectly

[@sleeve.3995]

It wasnt near perfect, although still very impressive and waaaaay better than I could do, he had MULTIPLE times mostly at the great plateau and when he missed his landing point at hyrule castle that added up to losing 5 minutes off what's considered a perfect run, by the time he finished fire fireblight, a by human standards "perfect" run wouldve been over

[@pjcollects]

This speed run was so great. I've watched other speed runs, but it's so nice to have the commentary to figure out what they're doing. Great run!

[@robertcajucom3203]

Wolhaiksong? The Tower of God?

[@OhMisfit]

Woo Limcube! :D Ive started learning this speedrun and have been using his guide. Super helpful! Edit: Only partway through the vid, but just wanted to say, besides the rough beginning and a few hiccups (nbd!), this guy is nailing it! Such a neat run ♥

[@owen9175]

This was actually really entertaining to watch and the commentary was great

[@KiyokaMakibi]

Forget blockbuster movies, watching a speed run of a game like this is my kind of night in!

[@Superguyinthecorner]

I remember buying this on release day, and playing iBOTW religiously for a week straight, mixed with my studies at uni, and always thinking that a speed run of this game would take hours .... Today I am humbled by Wolhaiksong's god tier run, and I'm so happy for it!

"First open world zelda" First game: am i a joke to you?

[@Dark_Lugia]

Amazing run, especially after i've only seen the animated speedrun of it so far and it's been really accurate. XD It was said it is on french for faster voice acting, but isn't zelda talking in german?

[@TundraGD]

Yeah I was confused by that. Some runners use German just because the difference isn't that much and the acting is better, but here it seemed bugged with French captions and German speech.

[@larss7225]

@@TundraGD It's even more funny for me, because I'm german and I learned both english and french in school. I can listen to the audio, the commentary and I can read the texts.

[@donschnulione6646]

@@TundraGD you can Decide the Text and voice acting by yourself. french is faster for both. i dont know why the voice acting is German here... but it Doesnt make too much of a Difference. GDQ are fun runs, mistakes dont matter. they dont try to get a pb or wr ^^

[@Straw_Breaker]

@@TundraGD It might be a mistake, but it's not bugged; it's literally an option to use dual audio (subs in one language, speech in another). Edit: it's not a mistake either, Song simply prefers the German voice acting which is 1 frame slower than the French.

[@UhOhTheStoveIsOn]

Donschnulione the difference between German and French voice acting is very small also (like one frame)

[@Halosty45]

[@DoomPickle490]

If I ever get into speed running this is definitely one of the games I want to give a try. It’s just such a fun run and really entertaining to watch. I love how much of the speedrun involves manipulating the games mechanics and physics and stuff and it’s just really fun too. It doesn’t hurt either that it’s such a short run too

[@KingDLetsPlay]

"So, as you can see now, the game is in French..." - game sound continues to be in German

"Voice acting is just faster in french." -Voice acting is actually in German, lol. So is French text and German voice acting the fastest combination or does voice acting not matter?

[@Reisen_Inaba]

Supposedly German voice acting is "1 frame slower" and is just runner's preference

[@growlithekid]

@@Reisen_Inaba Yep French is 1 frame faster which won't matter unless the game gets to Super Mario Bros NES levels of optimised.
