Linkus conquers the seas | Fast50 

i dont know if people realize how insane this run is -one of the hardest, most technical speedruns ever getting crushed -while explaining everything really concisely -and keeping track of donations and plugging the charities -AND riffing with the couch -and this run was at like 3 am linkus is a fuckin beast and he gained a fan

unbuffered manual super-swim is the most insane thing

This was literally one of the best segments of the whole event. It was like Dougdoug's skyrim run but three times longer

Linkus was running this so late at night, I think a lot of people were planning on sleeping but just had to stay up with how engaging he was. Even Jerma stayed on the couch for the full ~3 hours despite having to take a bathroom break since the beginning. Linkus has the technical skill, explanations, and even comedic timing down to a science, best showcased at the 32:23 zombie hover lmao

I love how Jerma chimes in sometimes, completely flabbergasted.

This was the best game of the event. So surprising. So fucking fun to watch.

@17:29 "Nintendo pays me for my glitch" is a great line lol

This run is technically P8 in the Speedrun Leaderboards...A Marathon run. Just crazy how consistent Linkus is.

linkus is just so entertaining AND informative to watch, a very difficult balancing act he has down to a science

20 minutes of world record while running casually, chatting, and likely sleep deprived is crazy

I don’t watch Linkus much but that might have to change, this run was super informative, endlessly entertaining, and wildly impressive. He balanced knowledge and entertainment and incredible skills with an almost impressive ease.

53:50 Linkus is so right about zelda games being such good speed games. It's like each glitch is one of the items you'd get in a dungeon and the puzzles are the skips and timesaves. It just translates the casual gameplay loop into a competitive/more engaging environment.

man i always love watching linkus explain speedruns. he’s so entertaining and never misses a beat

I was waiting for this one. Linkus was so fun through this entire event and this run was genuinely one of the craziest runs ive ever seen

Linkus absolutely crushed this run so glad he was at the event

@17:22 "you're going to hear something very important" *Queue melee menu music*

I knew about the first trick, but I never knew Linkus decided to start doing it without the pause buffers! Absolutely crazy!

Love pointcrow on the comms just being amazed really mirrored my reactions hahaha

Linkus is so GOATed to have at events like these

Linkus the goat, loved how baffled the couch was the whole time

Eric fanboying the whole time us hilarious

Linkus is a goddamn magician and storyteller this is so GOOD

2:29:59 Going from a "no music" section to a boss fight that crashes if you make too much noise, that's some Quiet Place shit right there!

It has taken me 3-4 days to finish this video but I keep coming back to it. This is so cool. My older brothers played OOT and I did a little bit but WW was my first Zelda game. Watching this was so cool and crazy to me considering I spent hours beating it the first time

It is so bizarre that the Gamecube version of Wind Waker has better dual-screen functionality than the WiiU version.

“Burn the witch” as aryll floats away 😂😂

Shoutouts to Stanz for verbalizing all our thoughts on how cool this run was

Linkus is so good at explaining and being entertaining

For those who may not know, but every time Linkus wants to blame the monitor, he is 100% correct in doing so. Refresh rate and quality all affect on his gameplay, especially one that heavily relies on the frame rate itself. This is the same instance for fps professionals, frames are important to comfort, performance, and key inputs. We as casuals might not see a difference of 30-60-144 frames but someone with a trained eye and thousands of hourly practices will notice it, only when the frames hit an astronomical rate such as the new 244s+ is where it's almost inhuman to notice a difference. (Though it is worth mentioning going from 30 to 144 you will definitely notice a difference; but in small increments, most wont.)

I WILL NEVER GET BORED OF WATCHING LINKUS7 WIND WAKER SPEEDRUN

i need to watch more things from linkus this was one of the best things ive ever watched

Been waiting for this one

I have been watching linkus for a while now and it’s absolutely insane that he gets to show off how cool of a speedrun ww is at an event like this. It’s crazy seeing all these different speedrunners in one place.

I love each runner is so nuanced in presenting things

This is genuinely the coolest, most impressive, and most entertaining speedrun showcase I've ever seen man, Linkus the goat

"Is this the face of a conquerer?" (points at thumbnail) "Yes. Yes it definitely is. And they've conquered time and space too."

Linkus is an incredible speedrunner. His Zelda wind waker runs will always be peak

1:56:30 ish Hingle McKringleberry is from Key and Peele, their North South College Football skit, ABSOLUTELY hilarious

Linkus has slowly solidified himself as the best zelda runner of all tike

This is such a cool run! I need a summoning salt video on this 😂

BOUT DAMN TIME this was the only one i really missed 😭

17:29 linkus is so cold with it

Crazy that this would still be the 8th place speedrun rn

you dont know how bad ive been waiting for this one

I love coming back to this vod. The chemistry between event, the couch, and Linkus is infectious 🥰

One im biased because i love linkus and ZFG, but two i enjoyed their runs because they were GDQ frequents, they have a way with explaining as they go that just. Feels pleasant to listen to. Loved this run :)

Linkus is by far one of the best Zelda Speedrunners out there with how consistent he is and how informative he is. 10/10 Speedrunner, would watch again. :D

Fell asleep watching this live since it was 3am my time. Excited to finally watch the full thing

Actually one of the most entertaining runs ever

This is amazing, Linkus is a beast

The jingle not playing after the buildup when you do chest storage triggers me so hard. It's such a blueball

Bro, Linkus just had such amazing energy always. Such a joy to watch 🙌

Quick everyone watch before the video is taken down again

MANUAL-MANUAL SUPER SWIM!?!?!?! WTF

I gladly stayed up until 1 am to watch this live. great run

Knowing all the botw that pointcrow had played it is funny listening to his jaw but the floor over linkus lol

Linkus is an amazing showman!

Reminder that this man acted like this is one of HIS OWN VIDEOS

my goat im so surprised by linkus no matter how many times i watch his runs and the way he explains everything hes so cool

I found Linkus through the almighty algorithm, but dang I'm so glad i did

loved seeing my favorite zelda speedrunner being featured in this event!

Flashbacks to Pausa were great

Best run of the event, super sick

insane! I'm 36 minutes in and it's still so hype! EDIT: amazing run and so entertaining! Linkus is great!

This was so fun to watch. I’ve never played windwaker and it’s very confusing but very cool!

I was at work when Linkus did this run, i'm happy i get to watch it now!

Oh wow, i knew linkus was an expert at manual super swim, but i didn't realize he was the FIRST person to pull it off!

yay the vod is fixed!

I remember when barrier skip was finally found and linkus used it at GDQ for the first time, an amazing moment in history. So happy I was watching his speedruns before the skip because I’ve never felt as excited about anything since then 😂 everyone in the speedrunning community lost their minds 1:28:07

Super Swimming WICKED

One of the best runs in the event for sure!

That escape from lavender island shit was wild

Linkus is NUTS

watching this at 3 am was a wonder

This is the best video on RU-vid. This guy is a beast

Dude I was waiting for it to come out again I think it got taken down a couple days ago

1:19:34 shoutout to the 4 donations that synced up their names like that

thanks mr ludwig vods

That was fun to watch

i loved watching this live

I can only imagine what watching this speedrun as one of the O G developers of Windwaker would feel like 😳😤😱🥺

This is amazing, so glad to have found this guy! edit: finally finished, holy shit what a run! So engaging, informative and exciting. what a beast

As intended 😎

Truly a professional

The best game to watch a speedrun ngl

Best run of the event

I still plug in my gamecube and play wind waker and twilight princess from time to time, such great games

what a god

thank you linkus

as someone with epilepsy I appreciate the warning 3 minutes in 🤣 (don't worry I'm not photosensitive)

I feel like I was watching a NASA rocket launch

Man this was amazing

I discovered Linkus years ago because of WW Speedrun and still love watching every Zelda related Stuff he does, he's so fcking entertaining and good at it ^^

This event was basically LudwiGDQ

Links face at 41:50 is me this entire run lmao

Bra speedrun, du är grym!

Seahawks should have ran the ball…

Watching Linkus run this game when I found him a few years ago, listening to him geek out over this game, seeing his passion has alone moved Wind Waker up on my list from the bottom to top 5 simply because he got me to wanna play this game again. Turns out, little me just didn't like the long cut scene at the start, then the triforce shards part

That’s pointcrow in the back right? I’m surprised how unfamiliar he was with this run.

insane
