Zelda: Link you have to be quick!
Link 20 minutes later: *bonjour*
Zelda: wtf-

[Hazy_Fforest]

I love the idea of ganon building power for 100 years and being unstoppable and destroying hyrule and link wakes up and is like "gimmie 20 minutes"

[kirst]

King hyrule: "it would be quite reckless to head directly to the castle"
Link: "aight bet"

[tickytickytango]

The reason I love speedruns:
Imagine being Ganon.
You've defeated all of the Champions and built up power for 100 years.
You get a report from the Great Plateau that Link is awake.
15 minutes later, you hear the sounds of battle outside your cocoon.
It takes him 3 minutes to defeat your strongest generals that took out the strongest people in the world 100 years ago.
Now before you stands the Hero, butt-naked and equipped with an assortment of weapons taken from the most fortified location in the world.
You don't even know what happens in the battle.
Your brain only has time to process the pain before you're lying on the ground in a puddle of your own malice.
Gathering the last of your energy, you manifest your Dark Beast form.
You are now the most powerful being Hyrule has ever seen.
The Hero doesn't even seem to be trying.

Now imagine being Zelda
You've been desperately holding back Calamity Ganon for 100 years.
Finally, you can sense Link waking up.
You call out to him for help.
For some reason you're speaking French now.
You tell him that there isn't much time, and to get to you as quickly as possible.
Of course, you expect him to prepare.
Restore the divine beasts, reclaim his sword, spend a while getting stronger.
It might take him a few months, but you're confident you can hold back Ganon at least that long.
Suddenly, your body materializes and you see Link, in his underwear, standing over the body of Calamity Ganon
It hasn't even been half an hour.
(In French) "Link, what the fuck?"
He doesn't seem to be listening.

PointCrow: "not possible for the average person to do this"
*BOTW Speedrunners 4 years later:* _"that's actually a slow pace, we do these 50 other tricks to make it faster"_

[mbSCOTUBE]

Man screams profanities at a grunting naked man blowing himself up, defeating the ultimate evil and ignoring the laws of physics for 18 minutes 47 seconds

[thatoneguy]

"It's time for school!"

"One second, lemme just beat BotW real quick"

[george]

Imagine Revali watching the random hylian solider he looked down upon literally one shot the giant mechanical monstrosity that killed him a hundred years ago after less than half an hour of prep time

[aircat]

Zelda struggling to keep Ganon contained for 100 years and Link kills him within 30 minutes of waking up.

[chiffmonkey]

"I wonder, do you remember me at all?" - Zelda
*Link backflips out of reality*

[kailupo]

Zelda: "Yeah I held ganon here for 100 years, I can hold him for as long as you need to train."

Link: "I don't know who I am. I don't know why I'm here. All I know is that I must kill. Give me 20 min"

[cecilofthesea]

2 years later, and world record is only 58 seconds slower than what used to be an insane theoretical. the limit that this game has been pushed to is absolutely nuts

[wilaugh]

Windblight literally having a seizure.
Pointcrow: *"THAT'S NUTS"*

[DAMusic-quec]

“I’m qualified to explain this run”

After every trick:
“It’s nuts. It’s insane. It’s crazy. It’s just crazy”

[ethangunter]

Ganon builds power for 100 years in preparation for his takeover of hyrule. Then proceeds to lose to a man who napped for 100 years, woke up, and chose violence....all within 20 minutes.

[GammaFox]

I love the idea of Link not losing any memories and just waking up in the shrine. Demanding that the spirit of the king gives him incredible weapons, no armour necessary. A paraglider and then just fully booking it to Calamity Ganon. I reckon you’d get him in about 15 minutes then give or take.

[shibadawn]

I'm just over here after it took me 2 years to beat ganon.

[hydraaustralia]

Lets be real here,
The impressive thing is that he was able to watch a 22 minute speed run in 18 minutes.

[katt]
