BotW Any% 23:56 (v1.8) [WR] Player 5 2025-07-24 | This is the first 23 on the BTB route! It's a bit confusing since this is the switch 1 edition played on switch 2 so it's running at 30fps but the load times are slightly improved since it's on better hardware. I'm working on a video explaining all the version shenanigans but this is the fastest current patch run so far. It's from a month ago but I didn't end up uploading it at the time (hence the talk about mk world online) but now that the leaderboards have started accepting switch 2 runs I figured this was a pretty good run so I'd post it here.twitch: twitch.tv/player5twitter: twitter.com/player5srdiscord: discord.gg/CbCKvabAFe#speedrun #botw #breathofthewild #glitch #gaming
What Glitches Work on the Switch 2 Edition of BotW Player 5 2025-07-05 | I meant to get this video out sooner but on release I tested a bunch of different glitches in BotW on the 60 FPS upgrade to see what worked and what didn't. It seems that most things worked and a few things worked but not quit the same as before but here's proof of everything working or not working!0:00 Intro1:00 Windbomb2:20 Bow Lift Smuggle Slide3:22 Bullet Time Bounce4:40 Clips7:40 Inventory Slot Transfer/Weapon Modifier Corruption9:14 Menu Overloading10:10 Other Speedrun Stuff14:45 Combat Tech15:46 Misc Goofy Stuff18:54 Moon Jump19:35 Apparatus Storage20:46 Other Dupes24:09 Other Launches25:59 Summarytwitch: twitch.tv/player5twitter: twitter.com/player5srdiscord: discord.gg/CbCKvabAFe#speedrun #botw #breathofthewild #glitch #gaming
TotK Glitchless Any% Switch 2 Edition 59:24 (no amiibo) [WR] Player 5 2025-06-22 | The switch 2 edition of Tears of the Kingdom saves a lot of time on categories that use current patch because of significantly faster loading times and most of the glitches still work. I figured I'm not an expert at current patch glitches, but I've done a glitchless speedrun in the past so why not try it out and see what 60 fps TotK looks like while setting a new WR! I learned a lot of the new strats from Mythicy's switch 1 WR so check that out if you want to see more glitchless youtu.be/MQzgxagmUnItwitch: twitch.tv/player5twitter: twitter.com/player5srdiscord: discord.gg/CbCKvabAFe#speedrun #totk #tearsofthekingdom #glitch #gaming
BotW Any% Switch 2 Edition 28:59 [WR] Player 5 2025-06-10 | A quick overview of Switch 2 speedrunning: The switch 2 has faster load times but it can't play earlier versions so BLSS doesn't work on either the switch 2 edition or just regular 1.8 (30 fps). The non upgraded version seems to be faster than the upgrade because 60 fps causes clips to be harder and WBs/BTBs/Launches to be slower and not go as far although I don't think it'll be faster than the BLSS route on switch 1. Right now we're doing what's mostly just the old BTB route but with modified clip setups so they actually work (somewhat) and then making up for the weaker launches in any way we can.twitch: twitch.tv/player5twitter: twitter.com/player5srdiscord: discord.gg/CbCKvabAFe#speedrun #botw #breathofthewild #glitch #gaming
Discussing the NEW Update for Breath of the Wild Player 5 2025-06-05 | With BLSS being patched on the newest update for Breath of the Wild I decided to do a commentated run of the old BTB route that's sure to make a comeback. Throughout the run I discuss things like what new updates will mean for the leaderboard and explain why I think this change, while fairly unpopular among runners and casual fans alike, could actually be quite exciting by bringing back some beloved strats!twitch: twitch.tv/player5twitter: twitter.com/player5srdiscord: discord.gg/CbCKvabAFe#speedrun #botw #breathofthewild #glitch #gaming
The NEW Intro Skip of TotK Speedrunning Player 5 2025-06-05 | A while ago there was a vote to allow runners to skip the intro cutscene while still playing through the out of bounds section and it passed. This is really nice for people grinding the speedrun since it saves nearly 4 minutes of IRL time (doesn't actually affect the speedrun time) which adds up really quickly.twitch.tv/player5twitter.com/player5sr#shorts #speedrun #zelda #totk #glitch #gaming
Theres a NEW Update for BOTW! Player 5 2025-06-04 | That's right, over 8 years after BotW's release date and we're still getting updates. I know I made a short a while ago saying a BTB might be back for cryo (it didn't actually end up being optimal) but now they're back for real and I'm super excited. Stay tuned for more testing of 1.8.0 and switch 2 since there's going to be a lot of stuff to consider!twitch.tv/player5twitter.com/player5sr#shorts #speedrun #zelda #botw #glitch #gaming
TotK Any% 39:37 (v1.0.0) [Former WR] Player 5 2025-05-29 | Tears of the Kingdom speedruns are back just in time for switch 2! This run was using the newest rusty deer route which is just as weird as it sounds and probably saves ~40 seconds over the shock arrow smuggle route I did last time I ran this category (over a year ago now). The route is super cool and I hope you guys enjoy catching up on what's been happening in TotK speedrunning since a lot has changed.VODs: youtube.com/@player5vodstwitch: twitch.tv/player5twitter: twitter.com/player5srdiscord: discord.gg/CbCKvabAFe#speedrun #totk #tearsofthekingdom
Tears of the Kingdom Speedruns are INSANE Player 5 2025-05-24 | There's been a lot of improvements made to the Tears of the Kingdom route in the last year since I last ran the game. The latest route is incredibly silly and I love it. It's also less RNG reliant than the last route I ran over a year ago so it's just better.twitch.tv/player5twitter.com/player5sr#shorts #speedrun #zelda #totk #glitch #gaming
BotW All Dungeons 1:24:44 [WR] Player 5 2025-05-10 | This run is actually from a while ago I just forgot to upload it/didn't make a thumbnail for it until now. Got the sub 1:25 though which was my big goal for the category so that's pretty cool. I think with a really good run a 1:23 is doable but I got pretty tired of doing BLSS and this run has even more of it than any% so I just moved on from the category. I did a commentated run of AD a while ago so if you want to have the whole thing explained you can go and watch it here: youtu.be/Wiw9Nd-1p-IVODs: youtube.com/@player5vodstwitch: twitch.tv/player5twitter: twitter.com/player5srdiscord: discord.gg/CbCKvabAFe#speedrun #botw #breathofthewild
What the Switch 2 Means for BotW Speedruns Player 5 2025-05-01 | With the Switch 2 coming out in just over a month I wanted to make a video going over what I think the impact of a new console will have on Breath of the Wild Speedrunning. It's been a big topic in my streams and a frequent question in the comments of my recent PBs so here's the full video explaining it all. Big thanks to @Zeltik, Sky, and @ikaboze for using their short switch 2 demo time for testing glitches and here's the links to their videos:youtu.be/4-n0v0mpBVMyoutu.be/uJ8DM09SwxY0:00 Intro0:38 Load Times6:38 Version Differences11:38 New Featurestwitch: twitch.tv/player5twitter: twitter.com/player5srdiscord: discord.gg/CbCKvabAFe#speedrun #botw #breathofthewild #glitch #gaming
Master Mode Any% 24:15 [WR] Player 5 2025-04-07 | BONK! Master Mode is different from normal mode because they patched out the stunlock that we normally use to deal with calamity's second phase. So instead we find more creative ways to get around phase 2's invincibility using the weapons from the conveniently placed Lynel on the Great Plateau. I haven't done runs of Master Mode any% in around 2 and a half years so there was plenty of room for optimization both from new strats and better play overall. The lynel drops are RNG so the category isn't super fun to grind so while sub 24 is super doable with a bit better RNG I think I'm satisfied for now.VODs: youtube.com/@player5vodstwitch: twitch.tv/player5twitter: twitter.com/player5srdiscord: discord.gg/CbCKvabAFe#speedrun #botw #breathofthewild
BotW Any% 22:58 [Former WR] Player 5 2025-03-30 | The first 22 minute any% speedrun! This was day 48 of the grind and I'm glad I stuck with it. There's a newish strat in the first split where we scope clip into the temple of time and ESC through the door of the shrine which saves ~5 seconds optimally but otherwise the strats haven't changed much. The last minute barrier was broken when I got a 23:53 two and a half years ago and I have no idea when we'll break the next one. Switch 2 might help us out but we'll just have to wait and see!VODs: youtube.com/@player5vodstwitch: twitch.tv/player5twitter: twitter.com/player5srdiscord: discord.gg/CbCKvabAFe#speedrun #botw #breathofthewild
BotW Any% 23:01 [Former WR] Player 5 2025-02-18 | Sub 23 next! This was by far the best endgame I've ever played which is saying something since I've been pretty consistently better at endgame than plateau. I was expecting sub 23 to require a much better start but this had a slightly worse plateau time and ended up narrowly missing the mark. This was only day 18 of the grind so keep an eye out for more :)VODs: youtube.com/@player5vodstwitch: twitch.tv/player5twitter: twitter.com/player5srdiscord: discord.gg/CbCKvabAFe#speedrun #botw #breathofthewild
A Master Mode Trial of the Sword Speedrun Explained Player 5 2025-01-15 | Trial of the Sword is part of the DLC for Breath of the Wild and is a really unique challenge compared to the rest of the game because of its focus on combat and strategy rather than open world exploration. It tests the player's ability to manage resources, especially in Master Mode. I know a lot of people liked watching my previous MM TotS PB so I decided to make a commentated version of my most recent PB to explain the strats and what makes this such an exciting run.Here's the WR by tt815tt: speedrun.com/botw/runs/ywg7rj0z0:00 Intro0:46 Beginning Trials6:44 Floor 109:59 Middle Trials20:05 Final Trialstwitch: twitch.tv/player5twitter: twitter.com/player5srdiscord: discord.gg/CbCKvabAFe#speedrun #botw #breathofthewild #glitch #gaming
BotW 100% 14:47:23 v1.6 Part 2/2 [WR] Player 5 2024-12-17 | This is part 2 of the run so if you haven't seen part 1 then it probably makes sense to go and watch that first: youtu.be/2QvoRZejf9sYou can find a full list of the requirements over on speedrun.com but basically it's all the koroks, shrines, quests (main, side, and shrine), unsellable armor (upgraded), key items, and map%.

BotW 100% 14:47:23 v1.6 Part 1/2 [WR] Player 5 2024-12-17 | With this run I've now become the first person to have ever held the WR in all 5 main board categories of Breath of the Wild at the same time! This is something I've had as an eventual goal for a while (since hundo always felt so daunting) but it feels a bit unreal now that it's finally happened. The 100% requirements include all quests, shrines, koroks, key items, etc. For the full rules you can check speedrun.com/botwPart 2: youtu.be/PDjyRXZ_sek0:00 Great Plateau18:49 Material Gathering/IST51:22 Hateno/Farosh1:32:46 Hebra 12:08:22 Vah Naboris2:34:35 Wasteland3:01:30 Vah Ruta3:40:30 South Eldin/Akkala4:14:27 North Eldin/Akkala5:03:10 Vah Rudania5:27:02 Korok Forest5:47:41 Castle6:08:42 Ridgeland6:47:55 BREAKVODs: youtube.com/@player5vodstwitch: twitch.tv/player5twitter: twitter.com/player5srdiscord: discord.gg/CbCKvabAFe#speedrun #botw #zelda
BotW Any% 23:09 [Former WR] Player 5 2024-11-23 | I guess 23:0X happened a bit sooner than I expected! Really happy with this run since there aren't any real mistakes in the run just a few things that could have been done slightly faster like better amiibo scans and cleaner castle movement. The big question of course is whether or not 22 is happening and honestly the way things are shaping up right now it's looking just barely doable, but this run was also 21 seconds off my sum of best which is already pretty ridiculous. I'm also still working on 100% runs which is the last category I need for the leaderboard sweep so I might try to get that before someone beats this time.VODs: youtube.com/@player5vodstwitch: twitch.tv/player5twitter: twitter.com/player5srdiscord: discord.gg/CbCKvabAFe#speedrun #botw #breathofthewild
BotW Any% 23:21 Player 5 2024-11-22 | Any% competition has been pretty crazy recently with a bunch of new 23's added to the leaderboard and like 5 of the top 6 runners actively running. This is not WR because Koroks got a 23:17 a few days ago, but I'm steadily improving my times so I'll be getting a 23:1X or 23:0X soon.VODs: youtube.com/@player5vodstwitch: twitch.tv/player5twitter: twitter.com/player5srdiscord: discord.gg/CbCKvabAFe#speedrun #botw #breathofthewild
The Speedrun where the Yiga Clan Wins Player 5 2024-10-10 | I made a video on what Die% would look like in Tears of the Kingdom a while back and people seemed to be interested in hearing about Die% Kohga so here we are. It's an extremely goofy category that actually contributed to some positive rule changes for Breath of the Wild speedruns while also being a surprisingly good speedrun.twitch: twitch.tv/player5twitter: twitter.com/player5srdiscord: discord.gg/CbCKvabAFe#speedrun #botw #breathofthewild #glitch #gaming
BotW Great Plateau 100% 23:51 [WR] Player 5 2024-08-26 | Great Plateau 100% is a category where the goal is to complete everything you can on the plateau before beating it. That means completing all the shrines, activating the tower, collecting the 15 available koroks (the one in the Shrine of Resurrection isn't available until after so we don't have to get it), killing the talus, and collecting all the armor. It's kind of like a mini 100% speedrun since almost no other categories actually get koroks and it's pretty fun. If you want to see me do a full 100% speedrun then go check out my twitch to help out with the subgoal!VODs: youtube.com/@player5vodstwitch: twitch.tv/player5twitter: twitter.com/player5srdiscord: discord.gg/CbCKvabAFe#speedrun #botw #zelda
BotW Any% No Major Glitches 35:31 [WR] Player 5 2024-08-18 | The category is actually called Bug Limit on the leaderboards but I think No Major Glitches is a more common/easier name for people to understand the goal of the run. The rules are very restrictive so basically the only "glitches" allowed are whistle sprinting, fall damage cancels, infinite horse stamina, and calamity stunlock (which could be argued isn't a glitch) making it a really good look at what a glitchless speedrun would look like. Which, at 35 minutes is still really fast. It's a fun category that shows off a lot of the older speedrun tech and makes me miss the pre BLSS days.VODs: youtube.com/@player5vodstwitch: twitch.tv/player5twitter: twitter.com/player5srdiscord: discord.gg/CbCKvabAFe#speedrun #botw #zelda
Best Ending 58:37 [WR] Player 5 2024-08-06 | Best Ending is one of the categories on the leaderboard. The goal is to get the post credits cutscene by collecting all the picture memories (from the Sheikah Slate) as fast as possible and then beating the game. It's essentially any% split into 3 sections with memory collection filler in between but that makes it pretty chill. 57 is probably doable but I figured an update was called for after like 2 years.VODs: youtube.com/@player5vodstwitch: twitch.tv/player5twitter: twitter.com/player5srdiscord: discord.gg/CbCKvabAFe#speedrun #botw #zelda
Master Sword Restricted 1:14:34 [WR] Player 5 2024-07-31 | This is a speedrun to get the master sword as fast as possible, but without the use of glitches to duplicate hearts or bypass the heart requirement (like the campfire glitch). It's cool because it's like a mini all shrines speedrun but because you don't do every shrine the route you take can be pretty flexible. I like the fast paced nature of the category since there aren't a lot of cutscenes as well as the variety of windbombs that you have to learn to get a good time. This was a pretty clean run, but it feels like 1:13:xx is doable and since there's an MSR tournament going on maybe I'll be able to hit it.00:00 Start16:16 Great Plateau Complete23:49 Akkala Branch33:01 Kakariko - Ya Naga54:12 Final BranchVODs: youtube.com/@player5vodstwitch: twitch.tv/player5twitter: twitter.com/player5srdiscord: discord.gg/CbCKvabAFe#speedrun #botw #zelda
Early Master Sword 15:20 [Former WR] Player 5 2024-07-28 | This is a category where you get the Master Sword as fast as possible using whatever means necessary (in this case a bundle of wood). I haven't done runs of this in like 2 years so this is a much needed update although I expect that a sub 15 is just barely possible if you do everything perfectly and use amiibo for flint instead of the cooking pot inside the tree.VODs: youtube.com/@player5vodstwitch: twitch.tv/player5twitter: twitter.com/player5srdiscord: discord.gg/CbCKvabAFe#speedrun #botw #zelda
BotW All Dungeons 1:25:32 [Former WR] Player 5 2024-07-17 | Pretty good run with a couple of rather unfortunately large time losses in the Riju and Yunobo splits. I've decided the goal is now to get a 1:24:XX because it seems to be doable given how much I've been improving recently.

A 22 Minute Breath of the Wild Speedrun Explained Player 5 2024-07-07 | This is NOT a valid speedrun! But it's a good indication of how fast the current strats can go when taken to their limit. I figured it had been a while since I last attempted to make an any% explained video (which had bad audio issues) so I wanted to redo it with a fully commentated run. And since I lowered my sum of best to under 23 minutes I figured this would be a great way of doing that while keeping the footage fresh.

BotW All Main Quests Restricted 2:29:50 [Former WR] Player 5 2024-07-03 | AMQR is a run where you complete all the main quests in the game as fast as possible which includes the divine beasts, the master sword, the memories, and then the great plateau tower and the fairy fountain quest. The restriction is that the master sword must be obtained without using any glitches to duplicate hearts or spirit orbs which makes it pretty interesting to route. This was the first sub 2:30:00 for the category but I think it can definitely go down by another 2 to 3 minutes at least. Also important to note but the DLC cutscene isn't included in timing as a convenience for people who don't want to have to uninstall the DLC just to run this category (we don't use any DLC items) which is why the timer doesn't match up with the actual time.VODs: youtube.com/@player5vodstwitch: twitch.tv/player5twitter: twitter.com/player5srdiscord: discord.gg/CbCKvabAFe#speedrun #botw #zelda
BotW All Dungeons 1:25:45 [Former WR] Player 5 2024-06-25 | I'm back to All Dungeons! This category is the sweet spot for seeing more of Hyrule (any% barely gets to do anything) while not being too long or drawn out. I'm a big fan of the way we cheese a lot of the divine beasts. If you want a fully commentated run then check out my previous upload. I'm still going to try and improve this time (a 1:25:30 seems pretty doable) but I've been trying to get back into All Main Quests Restricted as well so if you want to see the WR I got for that you can watch this VOD from the stream: youtu.be/lFKfKSFUptw?t=16506VODs: youtube.com/@player5vodstwitch: twitch.tv/player5twitter: twitter.com/player5srdiscord: discord.gg/CbCKvabAFe#speedrun #botw #zelda

Blindfolded TotK Any% 1:07:41 (v1.0.0) [Former WR] Player 5 2024-06-03 | Sub 1:10! I wasn't really sure what my goal would be for this run since I didn't have a good estimate of how fast the route could go, but after this run I'm pretty happy with the time. I golded basically every split and only really made one big mistake getting to Ultrahand so while there are some faster strats that could shave off another minute or two I'm probably good for now. I watched the run back on stream right after so if you want to see my reaction/commentary check out the VOD here: youtu.be/9_p_6vquJOg?t=10406 and make sure to stay tuned for a fully edited video going over the whole blindfolded routing process (it's going to be very cool).VODs: youtube.com/@player5vodstwitch: twitch.tv/player5twitter: twitter.com/player5srdiscord: discord.gg/CbCKvabAFe#speedrun #totk #tearsofthekingdom
Blindfolded TotK Any% 3:11:24 (v1.0.0) Player 5 2024-05-22 | This was attempt number 2 and while it's not very fast, I'm glad I made it through the run. The route is completed and while I didn't do a good job of showing how fast it can be in this run, I'm expecting it to be able to get roughly a 1:10:00 if everything goes well. Sub hour unfortunately seems just a bit out of reach with the fairy/stick route, but look forward to more runs (and eventually a "making of" video for the route).

After like 3 weeks I finished up the route for the Great Sky Island and managed to complete a pretty clean first run! This should end up saving 15-20 minutes on GSI alone, but the goal is to now reroute the end game to save even more time so stay tuned for updates.

BotW Any% No Amiibo 24:10 [Former WR] Player 5 2024-04-06 | Pretty good. Sub 24 is doable, but with TotK blindfolded I'll be moving on from any% and when I come back to BotW it'll be for All Dungeons. This was 4 seconds off my best plateau so that's pretty solid and then the castle, calamity, and dark beast were all pretty improvable.VODs: youtube.com/@player5vodstwitch: twitch.tv/player5twitter: twitter.com/player5srdiscord: discord.gg/CbCKvabAFe#speedrun #botw #breathofthewild
The FASTEST Breath of the Wild Speedrun Player 5 2024-04-02 | Die% is one of the category extensions of BotW speedruns and with the WR being under a minute it's extremely optimized.

Everything went right except calamity, but even then I got an attack up claymore (which is very lucky) mostly making up for the timeloss. There's definitely some riskier strats to try next, but for now I think I'll look at other categories.VODs: youtube.com/@player5vodstwitch: twitch.tv/player5twitter: twitter.com/player5srdiscord: discord.gg/CbCKvabAFe#speedrun #botw #breathofthewild
BotW Any% 23:30 [Former WR] Player 5 2024-03-22 | Narrowly missed the 23:2X but really solid run overall. Notable timelosses include missing stasis clip, getting the razorshroom in castle, the stunlock in calamity, and missing a prefire on dark beast. Also turns out the problem with the other switch was probably just that I accidentally installed BotW on the SD card instead of on system memory.VODs: youtube.com/@player5vodstwitch: twitch.tv/player5twitter: twitter.com/player5srdiscord: discord.gg/CbCKvabAFe#speedrun #botw #breathofthewild
BotW Any% 23:36 [Former WR] Player 5 2024-03-19 | Breath of the Wild is back! Had a big realization recently that my previous switch was loading the game super slowly so I started using a different one and immediately saw a big improvement to my times. I've also started doing some new strats like the cliff windbomb after stasis so expect some even faster runs soon.VODs: youtube.com/@player5vodstwitch: twitch.tv/player5twitter: twitter.com/player5srdiscord: discord.gg/CbCKvabAFe#speedrun #botw #breathofthewild
The Golden Gauntlets of Breath of the Wild Player 5 2024-03-15 | This is a trick that I've never had to use in a BotW speedrun because while many people have asked, I've never done a 100% speedrun nor have I beat the game 100%. I've always enjoyed learning random tricks and I figured I'd share this one with everyone since it's pretty simple and can be fun to mess around with.twitch.tv/player5twitter.com/player5sr#shorts #speedrun #zelda #botw #glitch #gaming
Are Bullet Time Bounces Back? Player 5 2024-02-26 | The glitch that got me into speedrunning was the Bullet Time Bounce. I think BTBs are a lot more satisfying than BLSS so while it's mainly going to be BLSS for any% it's nice to know there's still a use for BTBs.twitch.tv/player5twitter.com/player5sr#shorts #speedrun #zelda #botw #glitch #gaming
The PERFECT Stasis Shrine Player 5 2024-02-23 | The Great Plateau has a lot of potential for really fast windbombs, but with every setup being different it takes a ton of practice to get consistent results. I've been looking into adding faster strats to my runs since I'm back on the BotW any% grind and with how satisfying this windbomb is to hit I might just have to put in the time. And shoutouts to @alfort106 for his amazing speedruns and techniques.twitch.tv/player5twitter.com/player5sr#shorts #speedrun #zelda #totk #glitch #gaming
How I got the Tears of the Kingdom WR without Amiibo Player 5 2024-02-21 | A lot of people really don't like amiibo usage in speedruns, but luckily there are routes that don't use amiibo and a filter on the leaderboard for easy access to no amiibo times. I enjoyed trying out the no amiibo route for TotK and this video goes over the new routing that has dropped any% times by so much in the last few months for both amiibo and no amiibo.0:00 Intro0:38 What is an Amiibo?4:08 Arrow Smuggle8:59 Early Ascend10:48 Getting the Runtwitch: twitch.tv/player5twitter: twitter.com/player5srdiscord: discord.gg/CbCKvabAFe#speedrun #totk #tearsofthekingdom #glitch #gaming
A Shocking Development in Tears of the Kingdom Speedruns Player 5 2024-02-08 | Shock arrow smuggle with amiibo is currently the fastest route for any% speedruns on 1.0.0. It's a really cool tech and it saves a lot of time but it's also a big RNG point in the run which is not great.twitch.tv/player5twitter.com/player5sr#shorts #speedrun #zelda #totk #glitch #gaming
Why Getting the Battery is Faster in TotK Speedruns Player 5 2024-02-04 | This is a really weird interaction that I get asked about fairly often when I'm doing runs. It's not super intuitive so I figured I'd make a video to explain why we throw a wing off the cliff.twitch.tv/player5twitter.com/player5sr#shorts #speedrun #zelda #totk #glitch
TotK Any% 40:57 (v1.0.0) [Former WR] Player 5 2024-01-29 | The first sub 41. It's not a perfect run, but it's close enough for me. 4 scans to get the topaz and some time loss in the recall split but otherwise it was extremely clean. I've been grinding any% for the last 8 or so months and since it looks like sub 40 won't be possible without a new 40+ second timesave I'm going to take a break from the category.VODs: youtube.com/@player5vodstwitch: twitch.tv/player5twitter: twitter.com/player5srdiscord: discord.gg/CbCKvabAFe#speedrun #totk #tearsofthekingdom
Zuggle Overload Arrow Smuggle is BROKEN Player 5 2024-01-20 | Arrow Smuggle has completely changed any% speedruns so if you haven't watched a run in a while you might want to check it out. Zuggle Overload is one of the primary ways of setting it up and it's the key to Link flying across Hyrule and clipping out of bounds.twitch.tv/player5twitter.com/player5sr#shorts #speedrun #zelda #totk #glitch
TotK Any% 41:19 (v1.0.0) [Former WR] Player 5 2024-01-19 | Pretty good run, but definitely not perfect. Fuse is the weakest part of the run by far but it also has the heaviest RNG as well so only losing 17 seconds isn't actually that bad. This is a run that I don't think I could beat without amiibo so that's a cool milestone to hit and I'm not sure if I feel like continuing to grind for sub 41 right now. It's definitely possible but that'll be the point where good scans are required.VODs: youtube.com/@player5vodstwitch: twitch.tv/player5twitter: twitter.com/player5srdiscord: discord.gg/CbCKvabAFe#speedrun #totk #tearsofthekingdom
How Speedrunners get Ascend ASAP in Tears of the Kingdom Player 5 2024-01-15 | This is probably my favorite trick we do in the any% speedrun and it doesn't even require any glitches. It saves somewhere around 30 seconds over the previous route that I went over in a previous short by cutting out the bottomless cave and just looks super cool.To get wings immediately I do this jump youtube.com/shorts/qw6EEV8Qq50?si=3gYGSpm1JK1uV-8C to get to a chest above the recall shrine. Then I duplicate them with Zonai Sort Duplication (which gets patched in later versions, but current patch has Midair Throw Duplication which gets used to duplicate wings early as well).twitch.tv/player5twitter.com/player5sr#shorts #speedrun #zelda #totk #glitch
