Why Speedrunners Wait to Skip THIS Cutscene | BotW FAQs

I get a lot of people telling me how I can save a bunch of time by skipping the monk cutscene sooner, but this is a case where going slow is actually faster. It's a pretty weird little quirk in how the game loads and has a pretty big impact on speedrunning!

Here's a FAQ for every speedrun ever:
Why does speedrunner do x?
1: it's faster
2: swag

It’s not the fact that they don’t know that bothers me, but the fact that they think they know better than the world record holder and are so confident that they will leave insulting comments about it 😅 Those commenters are perfect examples of Dunning-Krugers lol

Thank you so so much for covering this and using one of my question comments I have probably asked this in every vid for your WR runs and have been so curious your the best Player 5🔥

[TylerAdams-fwzi]

Finally an explanation! I’ve always wondered this!

[Ur_aRizzardHarry]

10 whole minutes saved is wild for something so minuscule

[JediJess]

I literally was in the middle of watching a 100% EX speedrun when this was recommended to me. Thanks for clearing that up.

[jorgelsp]

Never thought about that, super interesting!!!!

[BowlOSoup]

This is exactly what I thought it was, I've also done this before cause I thought it would make sense, and apparently it did

[indominusbat]

Hah jokes on you it would take me 40 seconds just to load it anyway.

Bro really saw these guys commenting and just did the most giga chad thing ever and just showed them side by side why they’re wrong

[v-ns]

Been wondering this! The more you know!

[npcx-mqcr]

10 minutes! guess whoever figured THAT out held the wr for a few hours ;)

[hyguy]

The fact that I knew this already is just sad. I don’t even speedrun

[nakarukatoshi]

Wow, thanks for the Will you be doing another 100% speedrun before TotK?

[Thelongestshrimp]

But aren’t load times excluded? If not, they should be. Someone playing on Wii U instead of switch shouldn’t get different times with the same technique.

[breatulu]

im confused because i thought load times werent counted in speedruns? i only casually consume speedrunning content so maybe i made that up or it was onlu for a different game
