Love the thought of all the glitches being canon, like imagine being ganon waiting for Link to wake up only for him to launch towards you at mach speed and kill you in one shot

As a casual player, the wind bomb was so useful when scaling the Gerudo Highlands to get to the desert.

Very important to note that despite these glitches this game is still one of the most solid experiences I have ever had with a videogame and I still play it very often

[KlericYT]

Very nice history recap!
You might even need to make another one of these years later with the momentum this game still has.

I wish I could erase my memory of playing this game and play it all over again

Adding one more thing.... this doesn't mean the game is easily just states even more that is a masterpiece

[patricioart]

Except a few, I feel most of these aren't glitches. The game is so rooted on its physics laws that most of them make perfect sense. Patching those so called glitches would go against its own rules.

Not only was it fun to see all those glitches in a list like this, the editing for this video was also really good! Nice job!

[korfelthewizard]

I'm now compelled to do every last one of these glitches.

[annakrawczuk]

Great video! Tho a lot of ppl in the replies misunderstood that this is supposed to be a speedrunning history showcase, not a complaint on how glitchy the game is. But it's really good at that it's meant to be, really nicely edited, and super entertaining :D

My favorite BOTW glitch will always be the one where you can make Guardians clip through the ground with stasis, because it’s the first useful glitch I figured out by myself. (The non-useful one was stumbling upon NPCs stuck upside down in the ground)

I'm on my first playthrough right now. So I can't wait to try some of these. I've already been using the sprint/ whistle glitch. But im now more interested in stacking explosive or elemental arrows on every boss I can find.

[penncakes]

I've never used glitches with BOTW, but i realise recently, some of the characters "stand" horizontally haha!

[ineTrap]

We should all try and get this game famous again

[milktea]

i love this so much! botw’s glitches are so interesting and mysterious and its amazing how people try and find ways to keep breaking the game just because of the freedom it allows you.
i agree with memory storage. i’m not the best player, and the two days of preparing to beat dark beast ganon was the most stressful i had been playing a game. nevertheless, i have never felt so relieved when i got the bow of light, and in awe of the fact the game was even able to handle it all LOL.
great job rin!

[AlphaCre]

The speed running and combat community is so awesome

[DavidDoboni]

There's been so many BoTW videos in my feed recently that it's weird. We're all hungry for BoTW 2 at this point.
