Zelda Speedrun

[sleeprene]

and here’s me spending days getting sidetracked in totk

[Siturba]

Me spending an entire day trying to find that one NPC to give him the eight mushroom and ending the election quest

[dreader]

"swimming through ceilings, fusing weapons to other weapons, gliding on a stone bird..."

My man just described the intended game mechanics.

[phuqrumalf]

I mean, not all of us are speedrunners, I'm taking my sweet time with this one

[Nightcaat]

gymnast has since lowered the world record to 1:18:59
Edit (May 30): SUB 1 HOUR IS REAL THANKS TO ZDI

Ascend actually was a dev tool so the devs could cheat out of wells and caves... The main designer basically was like, "why don't we just put this in the game?" And they did lol

[cactusrosi]

I'm never shocked by speedrunners anymore. That's their purpose, to speed through as soon as possible.

[michimonkey]

I have waited 6 years for this game i won't rush this in a couple of hours.

[czareckixp]

"a bunch of weird moves" then proceeds listing base game mechanics. Alright

[mandarinduck]

Tears of the Kingdom isn't meant to be beaten. It's meant to be savored.

[scifriskyxy]

It's better to take our time to enjoy such a wonderful game

[sankzear]

I don't rush games, I savor them. That's why it took me until a whole year and a half before I fought Ganon in botw after 310 hours of gameplay

[nikolas-]

There’s always gonna be mad lads speedrunning in like 28 minutes. That doesn’t mean the game is too short. I mean, hell. In OOT you can glitch from the first boss room all the way to the end of the game if you’re good enough at glitches

[plkh]

65 hours, still not any of the map's mystery four points visited

[MuteAbyss]

Ya know during production the ability to go through the ceiling was originally a glitch but the creator said glitches are what make games fun and now it’s an ability 😊

[Urahara]

That gloom strat is pretty ingenious. Power up all your Knight weapons just by standing there for a few seconds

[christophertish]

I don’t wanna beat it fast this is a masterpiece ❤️

[Dragonorder]

One of the best parts of the game, seems to be the well developed cheese!

[DK-ABDO]

Fun fact:
The newly introduced mechanics were originally debug features in the original BOTW available for the game developers to cheat their way around the game and get to other places way faster.. so their next thought was ' why don't we implement these debug features as actual game mechanics for our next title'.

The pleasure is in the journey, not the end result
