The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD by Linkus7 in

>any Nintendo game >"the developers actually forgot to put a speed cap on how fast you can go backwards"

[@TheBrutalSax]

@@TheUltimateRare I mean if BotW being intentionally beatable in under an hour isn't proof that they love speedrunners, idk what is.

[@The_Muznick]

@@TheBrutalSax The Metroid franchise is proof that Nintendo loves speedrunners

[@skinwalker69420]

They fixed it in Mario 64, but in Japan

[@Coffee-Comrade]

@@TheBrutalSax Being given the ability to launch yourself across the map in multiple ways is proof, as well. Especially the stasis shrine to temple of time boulder launch, it's set up in a way that makes it appear very intentional.

[@Splozy]

@BrutalSax I wouldn't say that's a good quality for a speedrunning game

[@Goooober12]

Local village boy rapidly swims across oceans and saves the world in 6 hours.

[@silvermagpie1071]

Ryan Monaco And gets ALL the stuff

[@againcs2386]

Sounds like Baywatch to me

[@ZanaTheBatPony]

Ryan Monaco technically it was 6 hours, 12 minutes and 57 seconds, but seeing as it was a 100% Run the details can be overlooked just a tad bit.

[@ernestoartaza7576]

Local boy also manages to perform teleport, use pots to beat half a dungeon in pijamas and get a title of tresure hunter in 6 hours.

[@Julien_Pomares]

🤣

[@ballisticwaffles]

The audience dancing in time with the pauses is going to be the death of me.

[@MOORE4U2]

At least around 26:00, they point with the Wind Waker songs, too.

[@silvermagpie1071]

*pausas >:)

[@Komali09]

Brennan Moore oh god!

[@swordsmancs]

I usually skip Pausa so I am so goddamn glad you pointed that out so I could view them all slowly joining in until everyone was dancing, thank you

[@HeartlessKing1]

XD I just saw this lol.

[@MCRAVAGE54]

Link and linkus swimming in the seas P A U S I N G

[@monopolyrubix1875]

My Dude, where's Makar?

[@akionlizard]

@@monopolyrubix1875 bruuuuuuh you did noooooot

[@wildboar67]

linkus is always so much fun to watch at GDQ because he's so receptive to the audience and the donation readings. He's got a really fun personality and I love how well he explains what he's doing

[@Jelastronaut]

i watched this live and the amount of "KABOOMS" and "SPLOOSHES" had the chat absolutely *writhing*

[@alexramos5592]

this vod is very hard to listen to

[@stardust7780]

no makar there's floormasters there! oh no he has airpods in he can't hear us oh god oh no

[@Factory26_]

This is hands down, one of the funniest comments I’ve ever seen.

[@coneyislandqueen476]

even five years later i still found this entertaining

[@emilyjanet455]

Linkus: very serious detailed explanations of the manual super swim glitch Audience: *vibing* I was genuinely cackling, this is so wholesome

[@TVVictor]

Gymnast has a super powerful aura the whole way through

[@Factory26_]

He just sits there, all powerful like, he looks like a god

[@LittleBigLucas51]

Why is this comment so good?? xD

[@themessenger8656]

Gymnast is a great Zelda runner and I agree that his aura is just a new power

[@MOORE4U2]

Can you imagine laughing at Kaboom comments being made for two and a half hours? This post was made by the Pausa meme gang.

[@themessenger8656]

Sploosh

[@sp3ctum]

The ancient Deku tree addressing Link as "My Dude" is pretty funny. Great game, great runner, great video. Thanks for the upload!

[@trequor]

Up there with the classic naming of Epona as "MyButt" in Twilight Princess

[@face_nemesis]

i watch these to sleep at night and i woke up randomly to "come on my dude. come get these swedish meatballs. i got them at ikea"

[@monstermamojam]

Me:"man that pause sound is probably annoying the crowd..." :Checks crowd: Crowd: *Bobbing heads side to side with the Pausa's.* 😄

[@gabriusv]

Right? I looked up to see the crowd riding the wave and it was adorable.

[@gamesdonequick]

Runner introduction starts at 0:09. Run starts at 0:56. Couch commentary is provided by Gymnast86. Patty and KungfuFruitcup are the hosts.

[@thelasercow8670]

Do we have sgdq 2019 schedule?

[@caslaBBalsac]

He screamed that he held the shield, is it true?

[@Zooblegar]

Im always happy to watch Linkus7 Play, great runner. He has an amazing presence, I hope he goes far in his speedrunner Career

[@nerdyursus4689]

6 hours of Kaboom, orb and Sploosh with a zelda speedrun in the background

[@Superat626]

It's been a few years, but I do really adore watching this speedrun every so often. It's one of my favourites. Thanks for having this up.

[@insertgamertag5369]

any 3d Nintendo developer: * forgets to put backwards speed cap * speed runners: (͡ ͡° ͜ つ ͡͡°)

[@XXBloodyElle]

I recommend everyone to check out the wind waker run from 6 months ago, this dude is a treat to watch

[@BlazinBlue606]

1:44:30 2 ships are cuddling, the runner get cuddled, all the ships cuddle love is butiful

[@noisepollution4473]

Six hours is a lot, but to watch a Linkus GDQ run is worth it, he's great at explaining everything well.

[@mrsblacksheik4627]

5:42:09 gotta love that little „call me“ signal from Linkus there. Even though his husband is sitting right there next to him ^^

[@dstarr3]

I usually look forward to long Zelda runs for sleeping. But... this one... is not good for sleeping.

[@demisedulous]

Why is that.

[@valshaped]

KABOOOOM

[@Tecoleiva]

Dave Starr what do u mean? KABOOOOOOOM

[@TheGoldenDunsparce]

KA-BOOM!!!

[@golderzoa]

any speedrun is good for sleeping you must not have mastered full tiredness and laziness yet. i've slept to an OOT tas plenty of times. most of the time being tired means i gotta search videos i wanna sleep to. it's a hard business trust me this video is just something you Save Starr couldn't sleep to. i have a playlist of speedruns that are basicly sleepbait for me in case i really need to snooze i'm all prepped up.

[@alexanderh7807]

These guys are godly, Linkus and Gym are the true GOATs of Zelda

[@medadospozolesporfa]

I just can't with the back couch. You people are too adorable reacting to literally everything! Makes the run a little better

[@MonteKristof]

Damn that game hel;d wonderfully over the years. It still looks just as gorgeous as the year it released, thanks to the art style! It could release in 2020 with the same art, I wouldn't bat an eye!

[@lindseylindsey9200]

Tbf this is the hd version but even the original is gorgeous too

[@Cithulu1]

2:20:45 - guy on left finally changes positions

[@aaabbb-lq9cp]

A rare sight to behold

[@lh9591]

Lmao

[@HankusTheTankus333]

What a legend

[@HaruhiAgatsuma]

He goes back for the previous position not much after.

[@theconqueror12]

lmao that's gymnast86

[@MilesSinn]

I half expected Linkus to say at 3:37:41 "since I lost Makar, I'll have to take the bus"

[@HaruVibes_]

Always super pleasant to have an announcer that has a ton of personality and a wonderful voice to keep the run consistently entertaining.

[@bizzburnley]

1:44:42 Omg Gymnast86 cuddling Linkus7 on the couch for good luck is the best thing i have ever seen. Also the crowd is the fucking best

[@MidoCounters]

Do you ever just watch this again just because Linkus and Gymnast are commentating?

[@that_danishdude]

Oh my gosh. I didn't know that barrier skip had been consistently found/proven yet. Holy crap. That blew my mind when he said he was going to do barrier skip.

[@ocircles738]

3:12:11 if the KABOOMS get too soul crushing, skip here. It gets more bearable after this point

[@felixtense]

It is actually so annoying

[@probablyawesome1]

You're a god damn hero

[@SirTeclas]

My head was going to explode, thank goodness it's over. Thank you!

[@itsbunta]

The run itself is entertaining but all the donations are killing me.

[@sp3ctum]

I thought I could not get tired of that. I was wrong.

[@bradleyskyrme7310]

Pausa v2.0

[@420shrekit5]

Bradley Skyrme 😥

[@emilyjanet455]

Linkus being utterly confused at 3:10:54 is cracking me up. PRAISE THE SUN! 🙆

[@DatingTV]

this has some great "man comes to watch younger brother's game event" energy

[@luliby2309]

This crowd is the best. Everyone dancing in rhythm with the pauses was the absolute best and had me in stitches. That plus everyone shouting "orb!", "sploosh", or "kaboom!" along with some praising the sun was hilarious. Great to have an engaged crowd.

[@WereDictionary]

This remains my favorite Wind Waker run on AGDQ. The comments from the donators were great, the audience was great, the announcer rolled with everything the donators and the audience did (which is great), the couch was awesome and Linkus is my favorite WW runner.

[@Monke7763]

I come back to this vid at least once a year

[@myrixica4222]

The cuddling actually helped lmao

[@Syl518]

1:45:27 This GDQ was full of amazing impressions, but this one from the crowd is definitely my favorite.

[@RidvanDuzey]

Absolutely loved watching this run! Linkus7 is such a good entertainer and great runner!

[@kennethandersen2730]

i watched this live and now watching it on youtube, it is SO much better! Being able to skip the infinite amount of kabooms and orbs said makes it so much more enjoyable to watch!

[@emilybennett7864]

My 2 favourite speedrunners cuddling pleases the RNG Gods.

[@gamingg92]

This crowd is amazing, dancing at pause, motioning the wind waker songs

[@Howitchewstofeel5gum]

Great run, great crowd, so much fun! Plus, the announcer is awesome, lovely voice and cool attitude.

[@santav55]

I love how the audience casually dances to the rhythm of the pauses at the beginning

[@auro7409]

Me: *watching this a year and a half later* Lunkus: *beasts sploosh kaboom* Me: *still claps*

[@manguy01]

3:13:36 Et tu, My Dude...

[@bricenduff2030]

Shout out to the back up dancers during the super swim

[@RaphaelS4567]

What an amazing run! Having so much fun watching it!

[@felipearellano2811]

First time people clapped, now they've danced. I love the crowd during the "Pausa" moment, can't wait to see them again (and Linkus) in SGDQ!

[@Space-Popsicle]

Great runner, couch support, and AMAZING announcer!

[@dwite3657]

Watching the crowd dance for manual super swim buildup was the best part of this run

[@fragrantwinter8233]

Just watching the audience vibing in the back put a smile on my face.

[@KJ-td5gt]

So glad no one got tired of the sploosh kaboom orb donations and everyone loved them the whole time! Right?

[@Arcryoshi]

K J8011 No :(

[@LordBeau]

@@ragepoweredgamer You are part of the problem

[@kingkhalil0015]

I liked orb but the others...

[@SALshaNoma]

It's late night/early morning GDQ. They get loud to keep up the hype other wise everyone would fall asleep. Just because you don't like to have fun doesn't mean the rest of us don't.

[@mmmargh4743]

I love all sorry not sorry

[@WoodlandDrake]

The audience participation on this is through the roof!

[@Zeroxmachine1]

Anybody here think Linkus and Gym look like theyre brothers or something?

[@sergejeskobar8560]

This game is so beautiful, thanks for the run

[@TrevorSmartTalk]

6 hour speedrun, what a champ!

[@SickInTheHeadINC]

Ever notice how Wind Waker runs make them mad donations?

[@TheBrutalSax]

People tune into The Legend of Zelda. Also it is 6 hours

[@OliyTC]

Watching this live was great but you could see the pain in Linkus and Gym's eyes after an hour of repeating the same stale catchphrases. Message to people who donated with "Kaboom" or "Orb": You have donated to a great cause and have thousands reading your message. Is that opportunity to make them laugh or feel some kind of emotion really better utilized by ending it with a word that people will scream that will make them forget your initial words?

[@spears-5789]

The orb joke is not that funny, it might’ve been funny at the beginning but then the audience milked it to death.

[@murmovies]

Lol stfu

[@diamonddog2638]

Oh my freaking god the audience during the first super swim set-up. I never noticed that.

[@DrPumpkinz]

"I can not roll with a pig in my hand."

[@red5158077]

1:45:28 I love the "Sploosh" and "Kabooms" but the "Hooray Yay!" is funny too

[@melaniekirkland6634]

Why does this help me fall asleep so well?

[@JKelly756]

I love how this game is already so broken yet still takes 6 hours to beat.

[@Zinc876]

4:34:16 Look up "SEAGULLS! (Stop it now)" to understand the reference to that persons name. You guys won't regret it.

[@jgirl13245]

I lost it at the “My Dude, where’s Makar?” comment. The pun game is strong with this run.

[@TheSuccumbedSilence]

they're getting tired of the kabooms two and a half hours in lol. You did this to yourselves.

[@monkeycompier]

Even though it is a 100% run, nothing about the game is really spoiled

[@ArmosAviator]

That’s where you’re wrong kiddo

[@L33T_Taco]

Link backing into a wall: "Alright you guys have a good one" *Flings off through the water at mach 7*

[@kranich9077]

it was a really great run and linkus was really entertaining :) thank you

[@triplewario]

Just love how the audience was dancing while he was pause buffering in the beginning!

[@joebear567]

Patty + Zelda = good time

[@hungryhippowdon7141]

I find it crazy that you go to one room before the final boss halfway through the run.

[@ScarFearz]

Didn't know Max (Gassy Mexican) watched speedruns. That's pretty cool.

[@domb428]

4:00 love the crowd

[@CR-gh5bp]

I like to think that the Link from this game goes on to Phantom Hourglass and beats that 100% in like 6 hours too.

[@mrkenz7566]

What an amazing game my dudes 9.7/10, superb job Linkus7 epic

[@FierceFlame9001]

This is an absolutely incredible run. Super interesting to watch, great explanations, great commentary, overall just a super pleasant experience. Thank you for showcasing this game and category!

[@DerFetteHagrid_]

This run is just so wholesome

[@rcsync]

Tried listening to this overnight and my phone died midway and now we have the vod

[@nicholasdaisyawesomeness1291]

Amazing job with the speedrun!

[@ArmosAviator]

2:49:46 This is why I love Gym

I personally liked this game most of all AGDQ 2019 playlist

[@blueberryblues5644]

the people dancing to Pausa omg my heart is so happy

[@enchantedmal6757]

Is no one gonna talk about the complete ear destruction at 1:27:04

[@aidenpons9584]

Donation messages were so on point with the rhymes, puns, and of course, *KA-BOOM!* Truly a pleasure to watch and listen to.

[@RevitalizingPersona]

Hälsningar från Halmstad! Good job on the run, fun commentary and cuteness on the couch!!

[@soueu8D]

I tryed to watch it live, even donated what I could, but it was so late and I fell asleep. Gonna watch on youtube now :) The swedish sniper is my favorite runner and zelda runs are so fun to watch

[@thatguyukno41]

It amazes me that they'd do things that would save 5 seconds even tho this run is almost 7 hrs, can't imagine what it would be without the mini skips

[@salapanda1804]

Anybody else notice how incredibly nice the announcer is? She thanks everyone who's donation is announcer's choice! She's awesome EDIT: The first announcer, I just got far enough to see there's another one! The second one has an AMAZING voice though.

[@ophi7016]

Local boy swims at Mach 5 across ocean and saves the world in 6 hours

[@mangolie21]

After seeing the Link's Awakening speedrun I always expect the audience to cheer with Link when the item obtained jingle rolls in

[@Supertasticisaword]

THE ANNOUNCER’S VOICE WTF SO COOL
