Runner introduction starts at 2:06 Run starts at 3:03 Jhobz interviews kekumanshoyu at 2:57:04 Commentary is provided by EJ125 and GobbityBobbity PippyInATopHat is host

[@moonchild-ug5xr]

my man linkus out here putting the couch out of a job LMAO incredible run and commentary, you killed it!

[@WolfWalrus]

I know it's a small thing but I love how considerate the audience is for this run. When Linkus is obviously concentrating, when he's holding his breath, the crowd is utterly silent, and when he pulls the trick off, they roar with enthusiasm.

[@Skinkemann]

Wonderful run! Linkus the legend, calmy and consistently executing and explaining everything, supremely impressive!

[@thesterndragoon9159]

This is one of those truly BEYOND runs that makes watching GDQ so special. Absolutely amazing to watch!

[@lilnason98]

Absolutely love Linkus7 he has amazing commentary!

[@Anaklusmos42]

and he has amazing streams and community too !

[@eliastew9636]

Literally makes the whole run 100x more enjoyable

[@definitelybenny]

"Float Value Perfect" Ummm excuse me? The software engineer who donated during this run had it exactly right. I winced so hard when you said that Linkus 🤣🤣😭 Excellent run, I've never seen a speedrunner who could so thoroughly explain their tricks while performing them.

[@kadirbeneathmomoteh854]

Linkus explains the strats so well, makes it really engaging to watch

[@Lukecario1216]

Petition to add an "end of Pausa" timestamp to all future GDQ Wind Waker runs. (this is a half joke)

[@syntheticsaturn]

12:24 for those looking for a timestamp

[@Mitsoxfan]

And also more applause for what Linkus did in this run. Holy cow.

[@notagoat7103]

​@vice-virgo9635 🤨📸

[@Xino1217]

Linkus' runs are always a treat, glad he was able to participate again 😁

[@SuperExpert]

Linkus7 and his statuesque companions make this an amazing run!

[@aayjay666]

Guy on the right is frozen in time 🤣

[@ceadeu8491]

I always watch Linkus7 runs. Such an amazing (and consistent) display of skill and commentary. Mad respect for the guy

[@TheNo1pencil]

I appreciate the Emcee giving her all doing the voices for the donations.

[@Lamentationsofapoory]

I'll never get tired of how fucking metal the end of the game is. Link takes flight and PLUNGES HIS SWORD INTO GANON'S HEAD.

[@andrejwalilko634]

1:45:00 the 22 second wait for helmarok to gib damag was the cutest

[@DrZombieDeadpool]

Weird coincidence how the pause buffer timing is so similar to the timing of wobbling

[@theheckler399]

he knows too much…

[@alanhersch4617]

It kind of isnt actually. Most games run on the same frame rates, 24,30 or 60 fps. and depending on the number of frames you have to skip for the timings, MANY will line up and have the same timings. 24, 30 and 60 have A LOT of common factors.

[@SSBMNicki]

as an experienced wobbler I could instantly tell that the pause buffering is just a little bit too slow

[@gregoryent]

200 bpm that damned accursed infinite.

[@papasmurf1884]

It's slower

[@HollyWoomy]

I always LOVE these Wind Waker runs, the complexity of glitches they show off is incredible! And not to mention this is one of, if not my favourite Zelda game of all time. So fun to watch!

[@LordVhaeraun]

Love watching Linkus absolutely own Wind Waker. I hope Gymnast is feeling better, too

[@Yarharsuperpirate]

6 minutes into the run. I can HEAR why I would never dream of trying to speedrun this game. That repeated joystick flicking for the super swim must hurt

[@younggod5230]

There are plenty of games with popular glitchless

[@TheSonicFairy]

The donation from Gymnast is really heartwarming. Love you linkus!

[@timnguyen1374]

Nothing against WW HD, but man have I missed seeing the original WW being run

[@Mkeijbets]

That donation caller - you were perfect! I laughed every time!

[@LouieSloven]

I love the bird smooches at 1:44:55, very funny moment. And I always love to see Linkus on stage at a GDQ. Excellent run as always.

[@RomainTYS]

Absolutly bonkers to see such an enormous amount of hard tricks performed during this run !!

[@X1864-v3o]

Great run by Linkus and great hosting by PippyInATopHat!

[@piplup10203854]

I love seeing Linkus at GDQ, looking spiffy Mr. Linkus and what a great run! This was so much fun :D

[@ammo1206]

Always great to see Linkus7 run WW. Great Run!!!

[@Pendergast891]

Pausa

[@aurastrike]

pausa

[@Whipwinder]

Link ascending as he T-poses at 52:52 amused me more than it had any right to, honestly. Great run!

[@AnotherSeeker]

Great Host commentary PippyInATopHat. :)

[@DiggZiggah]

Just breathed in my coke watching link "climb" up that rope at the end 😂

[@Wyantstripes]

Don’t get me wrong. The run, the skill, the Strat, the explanations. Absolutely amazing. I kinda miss the NPC interactions though, yknow? Like old friends you haven’t seen in a while

[@Doxsein]

Windwaker has a quaint character that is loved by many fans

[@crusadr_4966]

So glad to see a return to in person runs, Congrats Linkus!

[@emilianovagnoni3397]

I love Linkus7, I love SGDQ, but the commenter "hyaaa" at 2:29:23 sum it up in my heart.

[@gamechris85]

Linkus is a good lad. Taking over for gymnast, even though it's not the shortest run. Also, 1:36:00 He's not called "The swedish Sniper" for nothing, it seems :-D Also Also, The Announcer is doing a great job, too.

[@NFITC1]

2:29:43 - I mean, frame-perfect is one thing. The FLOATING-POINT precise trick you pulled off earlier was NUTS tho! Imagine if that was double-precision precise on not only your coords and angles, but the camera's coords and angles followed by a double-frame-perfect set of inputs. That would be 12 double-precision variables that have to line up exactly to get a trick to work in a two-frame window! That's pretty gross. I'm sure there's probably a BotW trick that would be that precise.

[@aidankresnik465]

31:53 nice Game Grumps reference, hehe

[@hauntedsunsets]

that's my streamer!

[@AnbuuXL]

"Nice flick" thought i would never hear that during a zelda game, but here we are.

[@stalekarma3262]

Linkus was looking fresh during this run! Big fan.

[@lolnumberlol]

Man the boss music for the bird during the out of bounds clipping makes it real intense, makes his explanation sound much more dire 🤣

[@Thedukeofderps]

Linkus is my fav speedrunner for sure.

[@Galvajon]

The last three letters of this video's link are "Pog" Truer words ne'er were spoken

[@VeeOasis]

Omg it is

[@whateveryouwantmetobe1861]

This speedrun looks absolutely exhausting.

[@ianwalker2259]

Comin in clutch! Shoutouts to Gymnast86

[@taa347]

Linkus running Zelda is what I look forward to the most at these events

[@anomonomity]

love waking up to a GDQ speedrun 😌

[@petterfalchrasmussen4921]

1:44:58 This is a VERY difficult boss!

[@Andi.E]

shouting out the other guy that was supposed to do the speedrun while the hero music is playing was kinda epic not gonna lie

[@StopChangingUsernamesYouTube]

That shot past impressive in a hurry and went straight to beautiful.

[@CarterJackson]

Great run, well done Linkus

[@matthewperez5781]

Linkus is profesional. you can tell he cares and knows what hes talkign about

[@DororosWife]

funny that during the barrier skip pause buffering, the video freezes multiple times

[@yote6002]

Pippy's link impression was awesome I need the timestamps to watch that again :(

[@youngwang97]

2:07:50

[@Luigi90900]

It’s a shame the video freezes right as Linkus does the barrier skip. It’s impossible to see what he’s doing.

[@JohnnyBoy8089]

One word. Amazing.

[@danielholmqvist2713]

I'm just gonna *frame perfectly* do a precise comment drop in this comment section

[@Goooober12]

That earth temple was just amazing to watch. They covered that boy in olive oil to let him slip through the map like that.

[@Knuxsega]

Linkus7 the speedrunner goat

[@Arturoperezp]

amazing run

[@vincentgermano9204]

youre looking for 12:42

[@lanteanboy]

I just realized.... since they use the Tingle Tuner in this category.... could we call it Pay2Win%

[@adeen5438]

So I know that Japanese is typically faster in most Zelda games, but doesn't he normally play on the Italian version when he does his 100% runs? Which is where Pausa comes from? Just wondering why Italian for 100% but Japanese for All Dungeons. Amazing run as always, Linkus is entertaining and informative.

[@yukii1730]

It's because he typically runs Wind Waker HD, in which Italian is the fastest language, but this run is of the Original Wind Waker, where Japanese is the fastest.

[@hellspawn3200]

windwaker gannon was the best gannon. We need more like him.

[@petterfalchrasmussen4921]

19:12 Suddenly we're playing Link Between Worlds

[@Pat20387]

THX

[@ninjendo1087]

I love how no one knew what metro bread met 😂

[@blackestbill7454]

It’s always linkus what a legend

[@sylviewrath2199]

why do these videos have lag from the event itself? shouldn't there be local recordings without dropped frames?

[@Antech666]

That estimate much have been made damn tight, not much went wrong and still 3 min over est, harsh

[@johng.6174]

Love the chemistry between linkus and the donation reader

[@lauravturner]

This was so impressive.

[@aryasecretabsolu665]

It was so cool, great job Linkus !

[@moneyforshort]

Linkus is such a pro.

[@BBladem83]

Awesome run!!!!

[@Jalais]

Came for the ORB, stayed for Linkus

[@Scarabus82]

Photo-sensitivity warning: Flashing.

[@Manakitsune]

linkus the king

[@maplemabel]

lol the stream freezing for like half of barrier skip

[@lexaaxel6723]

What a beast!!!

[@NTnutterfudge]

Wish gdq added a live gamepad display on the screen so I can see what buttons the runners are pressing for tricks to try and speedrun myself :/

[@mackthisarrowhearth295]

Gym, get well, linkus, gg

[@shylane98]

I used the Tingle Tuner to blow my twin brother up when he was trying to jump gaps or when fighting bosses :D

[@Spoteddy]

1:55:00 how can you even discover something like that?

[@Sydney_Jones]

53:01 My new ring tone

[@Coolio_Ash]

Word??? Man this game got so fast recently

[@Coolio_Ash]

Oh its all dungeons cool

[@n0tFraulein]

What happen with the location of the three triangule islands?

[@lagrush9039]

I can see someone being very confused if they joined at 1:55:11

[@AngelCopout]

Haven't seen a Linkus7 run in like forever. Was a bit surprised by the "CLG". Did he join the org?

[@yukii1730]

Yes, in September, 2019.

[@qxz9p]

This run asks more questions than it answers. What DID happen to Linkus6??!??

[@CharlotteMimic]

Linkus :>

[@SnippyDoughnut]

how did his breath bubble refill during the super swim around 9:00?

[@VeeOasis]

I am pretty sure it's the same as when he refilled at 33:18 the model went out of the water for about 3-5 frames which refills the oxygen

[@azer67]

At 9:00, Linkus hits the wall which has a weird floor below the water that is at the perfect height for you to get an air refill while still staying swimming. It's a very easy air refill spot. At 33:18 Linkus stored the cutscene of going to Forest Haven for the first time (that's the reason for the double storage before the swim). The cutscene teleports Link to a specific spot which gives air back (and it also kills his speed)

[@dasheiligedonerhuhn]

what does clg mean?

[@fridayhawks-spangenberg8979]

What even is a door though

[@MayoKM]

Why did he run Zelda instead of Hitman?

[@mr.voidroy6869]

Because he did

[@christophsiebert1213]

It seems he replaced gymnast86, since he contracted Covid. Since Linkus is a speedrunner in that category as well, he replaced him so it wouldn't have to be removed from the schedule. That's my guess, at least.

[@eliastew9636]

Gymnast was out bc of covid and Linkus knows the run

[@Darticus42]

He said at the beginning that the other person who was originally going to run got COVID and couldnt make it

[@cartervaill3043]

He was filling in for gymnast who was sick...

[@DookNook]

Windwaker remastered on switch PLEASE. And Metroid prime 1 2 and 3 while you are at it. Make it happen.

[@Game_Hero]

Pausa, Pausa, Pausa, Pausa....

[@darksashman8241]

7:03 ooooooooooooooooooooooi

[@The_Snacker]

pausa is god

[@Mysticalzelda]

2:48:27 Thank me later :)
