[@celestialspark5697]

It's a 3D game with a physics engine. There will be something. Whether it's Link slingshotting himself through the sky under his own power, or some weird physics interaction that propels objects much faster and farther than intended, there will be some way to move long distances quickly, and there will inevitably be some sort of clipping found (though then we get to find out of the game just kills the player when they're inside geometry or something). Memory corruption is likely as well, though it usually takes a few years/might get patched if found too early.

[@gaming99927]

​@@davidagostinho1807 a different engine doesn't cause animations to cancel if you perform a specific action, sprint to drain twice as quick if you tap sprint, shield menu to not open until you're about to land, disable enemy hitboxes when shield surfing, etc. these are patches.

[@hedgehogmorph7248]

From a developer perspective these are quite smart patches, because they basically didn't have to change anything in the engine at all, they've just took a little bit more control over what inputs player can do at certain states of the character Also the "double-patch" for sprinting seems that way because the initial tap of the sprint gives Link a little more boost than just sprint's movement - so he burns a bit more stamina to start running, and because of it can go up the slopes a little bit more reliably

[@hassam363]

For what it's worth, they are apparently using an entirely new engine under the hood. It's apparently based on the Splatoon 3 engine.

Seems to be the same engine. Though, Nintendo modifies or "updates" it as they need to, so obviously it's not exactly the same as it was on Wii U in 2014. Tears of the Kingdom also still uses the same physics engine (also updated since 2014 of course.)

Wind bombs being gone hurts the most I spent way too long perfecting that glitch just because it looked so fun. Here's hoping that any new glitches will be as fun

[@Ilikesminecraft]

At least I don’t even know how to do it so I don’t need to

[@BlueBerry20071]

The worst part is that it made sense to not be a bug too. If you put an explosive that produces no heat next to another one of those explosives, the energy of the first explosive will send the second one flying, which would also send whatever that second explosive hits flying.

[@drhody4229]

Yeah it's at the point where in my head it's not a bug it's a mechanic

[@DDBEATZZZ]

​@@drhody4229How can you call a mechanic something that breaks the game and is exploited in speedruns?

[@determinedhero5603]

If you fuse a bomb to your shield and activate a shield surf down a lower surface (Ex: Slope) then when you hit the ground the bomb will explode and launch you very far and fast not a glitch, but a speed trick that could help.

[@ebin2222]

They also patched the magnet flying machines. BOTW prevented you from flying if you were on a metal piece and tried to lift it, but this was exploited by just standing on a movable object that is above a metallic object, and lifting it, the game allowed it because Link wasn't directly in contact with the thing being moved. Now the physics makes anything Links stand on behave as if it was ultra heavy in respect to other objects you try to move around, and even considers indirect contacts.

[@traiia4147]

Sure but you can actually build flying machines now and they're way easier to control so--

[@fantrodepkon]

Yeah but instead now flying machines are a feature

[@MontananMusician]

[@luigidabro]

@Coda57 really nice pfp

[@invasious]

i definitely feel that fuse will be the catalyst for initial glitch discoveries. hundreds of different items and even more fuse combinations, it's impossible that they tested absolutely *everything*. I'd very well like to imagine that maybe fusing a weapon to your shield will get BTB to work again, or fusing a bomb flower to your shield. with just how much they added, the TOTK content will definitely have holes in it, unlike the BOTW content which has been thoroughly patched. it'll also be interesting to see what new physics based exploits will be backwards compatible with BOTW, assuming the engine they run on is the same/similar. I'd very well imagine the speedrunning scene for both games will directly benefit from new glitches that are discovered in TOTK.

[@uroboloss]

Shield + Bomb works kinda like a rocket jump. If you try tho shield jump while having a bomb fused it will explode and launch you in the air.

[@AtomicArtumas]

There's also a few new abilities that definitely alter world physics, that are likely going to be able to be exploited - Like everything freezing in place when you go to target something with recall. I also wouldn't be overly surprised if there's multiple non-physics/movement glitches from botw that aren't patched - I know the botw glitch list is a lot longer than just what was mentioned in this video, and that there's even a few weirdly nearly unusable in botw glitches that... might actually end up useful here. The main thing I'm sort of looking at atm though is there's very likely some form of glitch you can perform with the gliders. They completely react to link's movement on them, and well... we all know how buggy physics engines in games can be. Between ultrahand and the gliders, there's gotta be some sort of insane physics launch glitch potential there.

[@Imthefake]

it almost feels like they fixed botw glitches to force players to discover new ones around the new features

[@JohnnyYeTaecanUktena]

@@Imthefake honestly i don't mind that but they could have honestly at least kept whistle sprinting as you run out of stamina so fast and can't build a moving vehicle or get a horse yet before going to lookout landing as the world is so large. Plus when doing some stuff your horse despawns such as the great fairy with the musicale troupe which makes it a drag to tp back to the stable to get the horse out again. Like even with a full 3 stamina wheel it still depletes so fucking fast

[@gammaboy4568]

It might still be possible to do BTBs, just not with enemies. It's been done with cryonis for a long while, but I think (unless it's also been considered and patched) the recall ability could have much similar uses. Not only that, recall is MUCH easier to manipulate than both enemies and cryonis blocks, especially with the addition of ultrahand. If this is the case, exploring the skies may be immensely fun for speedrunners and casuals alike if the trick can be perfected again.

[@AlphaSeagull]

There's actually one more trick you didn't mention: Fall damage cancel is also fixed in the funniest way possible. Normally it would work by throwing your weapon in midair and swapping it off during the animation which resets the player's fall height, so doing that near the ground let you ignore fall damage entirely. In TotK you can't throw weapons in mid-air anymore. In fact, pressing R in the air activates Dive, and holding it makes you dive much faster, so falling off a cliff and attempting to fall damage cancel not only makes you still hit the ground, but you'll hit it much faster and harder than you would if you didn't press anything. Inconsequential for a normal playthrough since the Paraglider is a thing anyway, but for speedruns this might be big since you don't actually need the paraglider to progress anymore.

[@JohnnyYeTaecanUktena]

Wait don't you need it for the final phase of ganon?

[@alexstewart9592]

You actually technically CAN throw weapons while in mid-air... but if you're falling fast enough to take fall damage the altitude gap between where you can initiate the weapon throw and where you land is too short to actually pull it off before you land.

[@JohnnyYeTaecanUktena]

@@alexstewart9592 so what you are saying is, if you can time it right to account for the gap it can be done?

[@aprophetofrng9821]

Unfortunate that all the cool glitches are taken out. But I kinda like it. Since I'm sure there will undoubtedly be new ones found in TotK. And I like the idea of both games having completely separate glitches. It will make the speedruns for them very unique. If you could do all of the same glitches, it would be like just doing the first speedrun with a new skin.

[@Buchaus]

Their fix to bullet time bouncing just looks ridiculous tbh. It feels like more people who didn't know about the glitch will think it's a bug, just phasing through the enemies like that.

[@jordanbtucker]

Another interesting thing I noticed is if you're out of stamina from gliding and land in water, instead of drowning you get back the amount of stamina recharged from the red wheel. (When normally you have to wait for the red wheel to entirely recharge.)

[@Wyte_Lytening]

Another glitch that works is the shield block reset. You can use it off an enemy to get bullet time anywhere. However, Thunderclap does not work which normally can be done in combination with this.

there's a new way found: you can travel further distance by doing quick weapon draw/sheath while slow tapping sprint button during the draw/sheath animation. It only slows the stamina drain but no speed increase though.

I have some ideas for potential glitches (maybe spoilers): Recall could be used to create some funky collision between two objects, I know in the wind temple I already managed to use recall on a spinny thing and a chest got repeatedly crushed between two walls and it was going kinda haywire, could be potential for some crazy glitches. Ultrahand is definitely gonna have at least a few glitches but one I see as a possibility is getting launched by them, I was in a shrine and I was on a flying device, I turned it off and as it fell I somehow ended up on one of the balloons, when It landed I got absolutely FLUNG across the whole shrine at supersonic speeds so not really a glitch per se but definitely potential for some crazy shit. I get the feeling that there is probably gonna be some crazy as shit collision stuff with fuse, for example from what I experienced the minecart shields already have some weird stuff. The bomb-shield could maybe have something weird happen although it's not a glitch it just looks cool and might be exploitable. Definitely ascend will have a ton of glitches, just weird angles to go through etc. I also wonder if autobuild will allow you to get some weird creations into weird spaces and do some crazy shit. Anyway I'm a little bit worried for TOTK, almost seems too solid tbh. I mean there's nothing wrong with a game that runs without problems and glitches that the avg player will find, but I just loved some of the glitches from BOTW.

I'm sure someone somewhere will figure out how to not have power be used or something and suddenly Zonai structures become busted.

[@noone5974]

In the floating mazes there is low gravity which lets you unequip your shield much earlier. Unfortunately you can’t get skew so you cant shield clip with it but it has potential.

I recently joked that maybe TotK was taking so long in development because they were trying to figure out how to get rid of all the fun glitches. It’s starting to look like less of a joke now

[@blubber0_0]

Tears of the Community, imo it’s a meme game. I hate that parry cancel is gone too. So clunky, disgusting.

[@sonerdeniz7295]

And now for combat:TCR and anything related to it such as PDR is completely patched due to daruks protection not existing and you not being able to pull out your bow and weapon at the same time anymore. On the bright side,shield block reset(SBR) still works in most cases.

[@BurnsyRuns]

Im happy to start from scratch but tbh im a little disappointed that theyve finally patched the instant horse stamina renewal in 1.1. It worked in version 1.0 of tears, and obviously worked for all of BOTW. Now, even with perfect timing , the action prevents him from getting back on the horse right away.

[@MattMorency]

Recall breaks everything and bomb jumps are super fun. Ultrahand catapults are great. Clever Ascend use is better than Ravioli. Speedrunners may find interesting things, but the physics engine is all the glitch us casuals will ever need.

[@UnseenCulprit]

I’ve found somewhat of a workaround for not whistle sprinting but the running up mountain advantage it gave. So it’s not to different than the original but it still has to be a somewhat slanted slope link has to be able to stand up one it but when you go to climb the slope climb it normally and then tap sprint and link will move slightly up and grab the slope again just repeat the process of pressing sprint as soon as he starts to climb it not sure if it works in rain just yet but if I find out I’ll edit this comment

[@Velocity_9449]

I know that this doesn’t have anything to do with movement or speed run kinda glitches but you can still do the glitch where you hold out your shield jump into an attack (or bomb in botw) and jump back and get a second jump to get into bullet time and shoot your opponent so yeah that’s pretty cool (btw I forgot what that glitch is called so yeah) Ps you can’t thunder clap rush anymore.

[@calicon00b77]

For some reason the very first thing I tried upon loading the game was that whistle running glitch. I tried it DURING the intro sequence, and i was disappointed they patched it out

[@wieneroach2280]

i love that you didnt spoil and also put that in the title

[@dra6o0n]

There is a rocket glitch where if you shield surf with a rocket fused to the shield and you put away the shield, you will be able to still use the rocket if you enter surf again. But chances are it'll be eventually patch because Nintendo seems to not like it when people finish the game too easily and quickly, maybe they are collecting metadata somewhere to show to shareholders or data analysts? There's also dupes you can do right now if you haven't updated yet, where you convert a item into another item, or duplicate one item into two. Chances are that gets patched as well.

[@vendingmashine]

5:38 you have to fully complete the flip before un-equip your shield not just before you land. So you can’t un-equip before landing on a higher ledge

[@Mikefilms419]

I mainly used whistle sprinting for scaling hills and mountains, since it would replenish stamina Luckily, just whistling allows you to walk up slopes while gaining stamina

[@Skylancer727]

Damn I was also expecting bullet time bounce to still work. Especially when some shields literally have a damage value.

[@icedude_907]

New tricks is good for a unique speedrun. Bummed they took away the shield unequipping though, it was fun to see link ragdoll.

[@iNinBreak]

im sure that with some clever placement of some certain things will still enable BIL but without the bomb runes

[@SacrificAbominat]

They got rid of all of those glitches with Link's on foot movement, but I think they've opened up a whole can of worms with the vehicle creation and what glitches could happen with that.

[@skr33nsav3r]

Linkus - I'll show only the area in the first 10 minutes. Also Linkus - Let me show you this horse glitch on the surface.

[@souris_a_boule5695]

Another trick they seems to have patched is when you press up + b while climbing on a surface that is less than 90°: In BOTW link will run for a few seconds before climbing again allowing him to recover a lot of stamina. In TOTK Link will immediately slide and fall. The angle of the slope have to be much smaller for the trick to work.

[@KaitouKaiju]

I've definitely been able to run on slopes nearly 90 degree slopes to recover stamina

[@Zerossoul]

One thing I've found. Interacting with NPC's and signs restores your battery gauge and stamina. So if your flying machine runs out of energy, try to land next to one of those.

[@sephia4583]

Here is a speedrun technique idea (though it's not a glitch): Get two flat objects that can be grabed by ultrahand and can be used as platform Hold one object up high for a while and drop it Use recall to raise it, and climb up on it with ascend Right after climbing up on it, hold the other object with ultrahand as high as possible for a while Rinse and repeat, and you can go as high as you want without stamina limit

[@Marpfie]

I'm glad they fixed this much, but with the main system of building stuff I expect that sadly things will be broken real quick

[@Easasera]

thank you for keeping this spoiler free :)

[@Azavelika]

In my opinion the whistle sprint is the worst because pretty much every casual player I know used that. One of peoples biggest gripes with BoTW was running out of stamina so having it where just navigating the world didn't use stamina was nice. In a way it was also sorta balanced since the whistle would alert enemies.

[@TheRhedNova]

Incredible video, thanks for the information!

[@visedknight7295]

There is kind of a replacement for whistle sprint i might have found where you tap sprint but cancel really fast by crouching and getting up again. Not sure if anyone else figured this out but it works pretty well if done correctly.

[@yetet]

thank you SO MUCH for making this spoilerless cause im so curious about this but cant afford the game yet

[@freshairkaboom8171]

I'm not worried, because there's a way to amass a lot of rockets that basically give you a consumable but spammable Ravali's Gale that additionally takes durability off your shield. Putting rockets on several shields before going into the shrine lets you smuggle the rocket shield in basically, and skip a ton of vertical shrines. You can even attach the shield to objects like orbs to skip huge puzzles.
