Paradox Gaming | I found a way to launch Link in Tears of the Kingdom! @paradox_guardian | Uploaded May 2023 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
I theorized this a while ago, so it's cool I got it to work. I wanted to create a TOTK version of the stasis launch using the new abilities. I think it shows some promise. I call it the tangent launch. Unfortunately, it seems the glider causes us to lose a lot of speed.

Today I will show you how to get every blue thing on the map without using the X button. This took me around 120 hours to put together. All gameplay footage in this video was mine.

Some questions and answers for you guys:
Q: Where have you been?
A: College, mostly. When I made this channel, I was in high school and had much more free time. I will be receiving my MS in Electrical Engineering in about a week and then I am moving on toward a PhD. Expect me to remain busy.
Q: Why the Zora armor/ancient gear?
A: I like how that equipment looks, and the ancient gear also does extra damage to most bosses.
Q: Why do you have 7 hearts sometimes and 5 other times?
A: I actually created two save files to get this footage! The 5 heart one was used to test strategies and whatnot (this was often the file I used for demo footage with the X button icon), and the other file was the actual run. I decided that I wanted more than three hearts so that I dont get one-shotted, but not so much health that the health bar takes up a large part of the screen. I decided 7 hearts was a good balance.
Q: Why didnt you use Kuh Takkar for the ISCW into Shai Yota? Wouldnt the setup have been easier?
A: Yes, the setup is indeed easier because there is no water. I actually tried this, but somehow I lost cutscene storage on my way to Shai Yota from Kuh Takkar. It took a while to make that journey, and I had no idea what caused the trick to fail, so I decided to instead use Jitan Sami since its closer, even if the setup takes longer.
Q: Will you make any more videos?
A: Perhaps. I have some ideas.
Music used
-Basically the entire Baba is You OST
-Manifold Garden OST (House of Leaves, Sky and Water)
-Some other misc. Zelda music that you probably know by now (mostly Skyward Sword and Lorule Castle from ALBW).

This was a part of my all shrines Xless run (Check my channel to see the whole run, plus commentary and explanation)
Sorry the combat music played for so long, sometimes the game just does that.
At the end, I took a while to decide on a good place to trigger the ISCW. Again, explanation is in the full run video.")
