How fast can you touch water in every Zelda game? 

If you'd like to see some pit stains live, I'll be streaming Zelda every Wednesday until Tears of the Kingdom comes out over at www.twitch.tv/j0rts

I think that not doing a "How fast can you break pottery in every Zelda game" run in the future would be an incredible missed opportunity.

I know Breath of the Wild has that puddle of water there right before getting out of the chamber, but I mean... you start off submerged in water before even waking up.

What's interesting is that I think a lot of placements on this list would be a lot different if you started the timer when you were able to control Link instead of when you started the game. Cutscenes absolutely demolishing the rate at which you can touch water in the likes of Wind Waker and Ocarina of Time lol.

Now touch some sand in ever Zelda game

It’s incredible that windwaker is one of the longest runs to get to water

In half of the games Link drowns instantly, and in the other half he swims perfectly.

In Links awakening and in BOTW you start in water, before you can walk. Does that count?

Whoa, dude. I'm legit stunned that you put Tri-Force Heroes in this. I haven't seen it appear in literally any other Zelda compilation before, even though it was one of my favorites (it let me play with my husband :3). MAN was that game hard to find other players with after a good month or so, though.

I forgot how damn awesome Wind Waker looks

I know that Breath of The Wild makes you touch water instantly, but I’m excited for the others

The fact that windwaker is not number one is criminal. Sometimes I feel like speedruns should start the second you can physically move lol

4:54 Had me actually laughing.

Link's face getting slowly mangled by the pixelated zoomout whe dramatic music plays will always make me laugh. In PH, he looks like the Runescape Slayer gnome child!

love that the ds games actually murder you in the tutoral levels. Especially Phantom Hourglass. Like, this is supposed to be WW Link, who can swim, why is he drowning!!?

I love how wind waker, despite being THE water zelda game, takes the longest amount of time to any of the previous games by a significant margin.

It's now time. We all knew it was coming. It's time for Kirby to touch some grass and some water.

Too bad you touch water so quickly in Link to the Past. The swimming animations of Link when he swims in the rest of the game is quite adorable.

Don’t you wake up in water in BOTW?

Yay! A new one. And Zelda no less. I’m enjoying watching these videos about touching/not touching between Mario, Sonic, and Zelda. Wish more of these would come out especially Zelda.

Touch Fire in Zelda!!!

I think that rain may fulfill the letter of the requirement but perhaps not its spirit. "Touching water" usually means "touching a body of water " (such as a puddle, river or lake). If you wanted to be super-technical, there's moisture in the air so that's automatically "touching water", but it's not in the spirit of the challenge.

I love the buildup he almost always does in Phantom Hourglass when dying to the video objective

Not only do I love these videos, but this one reminded me that Tri-Force Heroes *actually exists* as I literally forgot that. I think it was the only Zelda game I never played...besides like the CDI nightmares. 😬

I didn’t expect the two game over themes from the ds games to sound so well together

5:00 he’s relaxing by the pool to some neat music

4:06 the noise you made is HILARIOUS 😭😭

This is the content I didn’t realize I needed

I forgot it's raining at the beginning of LttP. Arguably, he didn't touch water, but got touched by water.

Spirit tracks had such a depressing death sound lol. As a kid i was like "omg im never going to die again" *dies again and experiences sad*

Love your vids! Can't wait til you touch every element, become the avatar, and stop the fire nation.

ironically, the wind waker was the third longest one to touch water

Ocarina of Time is my favorite too. Started playing it on the GameCube in 2003.

I don't know why I feel so satisfied to know how fast you can touch water in each Zelda game, but I do. Definitely do the smashing a pot task!

I played on the wiiU version for years, even fully completing it before I was able to get a switch. It was really cool ngl, I had fun playing that version

please keep making this Zelda videos, they're great👍

Your comedic timing is so excellent 👌

Once tears of the kingdom comes out you should touch fire in every Zelda game 🔥

Touch enemies already

I can confrim jorts smells absolutely rank, he needs to touch more water

I bought a WiiU after the Switch came out. My rationale was there was nothing out for the Switch except for Breath of the Wild and Mario Odyssey because this was the initial slow period before Nintendo ported everything from WiiU to Switch. It just didn't make good financial sense at the time. So when I got my WiiU, I got BotW, Bayonetta, Mario Kart, Mario 3D World, the two Zelda remasters, along with some Wii games like Mario Galaxy and New SMB (since I skipped the Wii generation), and a few other games. It was a good haul. Most of the games were used and really cheap by then. I had a ton of fun with it and got my money's worth. I didn't upgrade to the Switch until late 2019 when Octopath Traveler came out (and I didn't have to deal with scalpers). While I no longer have my WiiU, I still believe that it was a good financial decision to get the WiiU for the first year of the Switch lifespan.

I have the Wii U BotW as well. It was years before I got it on the Switch too.

Finally, more people with Wii U BotW! Wii U players of the world, unite in this small shed!

Rolling always makes you faster. Even if you move at the same pace, yoy move faster.

Finally, Spirit Tracks is near the top of a list

touch water, but can he touch BATH?!?!?

The touch water part Is not over, now you have to touch water in every Kirby game

Your voice has ben reminding me of someone and I couldn't place it but I figured it out. Mr. Van Driessen from Beavis and Butthead lol. Love your vids

It’s not often that Phantom Hourglass gets #1 at something, so as a Phantom Hourglass fan, I’ll take what I can get.

I still use a Wii U version of BotW.

Another great video

Hell yeah, Majora’s Mask making life difficult for water touchers since 2000 baby.

Good for Phantom Hourglass, finally getting to be worth something :D

You missed Zelda on the cdi

J0rts' rule in his touching series is he has to be in control of the characters in order for the criteria to count. So Link's Awakening won't count because the intro is a cutscene. I dunno about BOTW haven't played it but if it is a cutscene, it won't count. If you control link, he was just wrong.

6:55 gotta love that huge gap between TMC and LA

I have a copy of BotW on WiiU too, but it's till factory sealed. And what about the CD-i games?

THe fact that WIND WAKER of all of them is so freaking far down on this list is freaking hilarious alone!! XD XD

Awesome video brother! Don't forget to stay hydrated by touching water!

I honestly haven't played any loz games past ocarina of time. Well, except about 5 minutes of majora's mask

Cool video. Next touching snow in every Zelda/Mario game

In legends of Zelda, breath of the wild the Resurrection, shrine you come out of water

Bro BOTW was immediate, it’s in the opening cutscene. And if you don’t count the cutscenes just turn around and walk back to the water bed

So we have earth, fire, water. When is air?

" Holy Guacamole look at those waterfalls if this is what tears of the kingdom is going to be like sign me up!" Got me cracking up

bro... touch some gra- I mean concrete

I have dabbled in twilight princess speedrunning and rolling does indeed make you faster

You don't even have to play any of Link's awakening. You literally almost drown before it even starts

well because of the humidity in the air or something you touch the water in the air right when you start so it takes much less to actually touch water

In botw you litterally touch water as soon as you start because the shrine of resurection has water where link wakes up. Bro has been taking a bath for the past 100 years.

This video was wetter than Princess Peach every time Bowser kidnaps her.

See? I knew Phantom Hourglass was the best at something!

great video!

I have the wii u version of botw And also I think there might be some water in the resurrection tub in the shrine of resurrection

I bought the wii u version of botw first because I didn't have a switch yet. But it glitched on me and I couldn't continue it soon after leaving the Plateau. Couldn't even load the game anymore. Not sure if it was the disc or my Wii U, but I'm still able to play all my other games on the Wii U. Anyway, a year later I bought a Switch and bought botw for that. So I have both now.

Water RNG…funniest shit I’ve heard all day

I hope they add diving in Tears Of The Kingdom

0:14 bro casually drowns

Wow, another Breath of the Wild Wii U shoutout. Thanks for making me feel included.

I’ve always wondered why there’s water in the shrine of resurrection and now I know why

you should do a challenge with the kirby series or rayman series :D

5:58 Is that the King of All Cosmos?

6:10 Yep! I wanted the Wii U to have its one last hurrah! There were no real console differences, anyway!

Technically, BOTW is fastest because you start in water.

The saga continues^^

I don't think opening cutscenes should cound for this

ive watched like 10+ of ur videos idk why i havent subscribed yet lol

For Link's Awakening, you could just watch the intro cutscene

Next series should be how fast can you fall to your death to represent air

Thanks for saying ocarina like ocarina. It was a good one.

I was just about to write a comment pondering whether the next step after grass (earth) and water would be touching fire... only to then see that this video exists in the sidebar and I just missed it lol

After all this speed running you must be hungry. You should eat candy as Kirby in all the Kirby games.

Lava in every Zelda next? Touching sand in every (mainline) Pokemon?

what’s funnier is that Wind Waker is the game with the most water out of all and it STILL is third to last

Links awakening on the switch the opening cutscene link touches water.

I knew it, phantom hourglass is the cleanest Zelda game

Wind Waker is 3rd slowest, all because of the long cut scene's at the very beginning! Lol

anyone know if you can touch water faster in botw by skipping the sheikah slate? im pretty sure there's some out of bounds areas under the shrine of resurrection where you can fall through into all the water below the map but idk if thats faster than sitting through the cutscene or not

Wow! All these years of playing Wind Waker and never noticed there was water in the game😂

in breath of the wild link is first in a pool of water so you dont have to spend the extra time doing all of this to touch water
