The Insane Complexity of Tears of the Kingdom Speedruns 

YO! We are gonna stop being lazy and start uploading a new video every second Friday. Thanks for being patient and sticking around :)

I love that "buying a shirt takes time" makes a substantial difference in the routing for this game

I didn’t actually activate the quest to clear the thunderhead before the spirit temple, i just kinda wandered in. Once I was done with the spirit temple, i remembered the ring ruins and was wondering what they were. I go in ans realise i skipped almost all the steps up to the spirit temple.

Can’t wait for TerminalMontage’s artistic take on TOTK speedruns someday.

Using the Pocket Rocket to go from the mountain all the way to the top of the blizzard is next-level Terminal Montage energy

Gymnast is so good at voice overs

I bet TOTK is going to turn into a very interesting speedrun game, eventually; so many mechanics, so much content, so many glitches with different properties. There's so much you can do in this game!

The people who made this video did an amazing job at explaining this run! The voiceover, editing and thumbnail were all amazing, and it's nice to see a video that takes a look into this really interesting category.

i so deeply desire an explanation for how the Faron Grasslands lynel is directly on the path to Rito Village.

LOVE the routing and going into all the stuff that wont even result in anything, it shows an amazing part to speedrunning that you will not see in the finished product. pls make more like this

This makes watching the speedruns much more fun now that I have some background information

I hope this guy is okay. His last message spoke of uploading more but its been months ):

Wonder what the hypothetical route for an "all warp points" run would be. Essentially, a speed run where you have to unlock and complete everything that unlocks a potential warp point.

2:18 you can see a white heart next to purah's name

Just gotta shout out that the editing on these videos is really good, keep it up!

Missed this channel! Happy to see y’all back with another great video

Really great overview! I appreciate how complex and fluid this all is. Thanks for the video!

I like that you included ZFG's Demon Dragon fail from his world record at the end there

Don't mean to be a nerd here, but at 1:13, it says 6 months of grinding, even though the game's only been out for 4 months as of 9/15/23

1:12 The game... has only been out for 4 months

Man gymnast has an incredible voice over cadence. Awesome!

yall needa post more these videos always slap

Well done. These videos are nicely detailed without taking an hour.

The Faron Grasslands Lynel is directly on the path to Rito village? It's literally on the opposite side of the map from there

As someone who has always loved low% runs (even making a video myself) I AM SO GLAD THIS CHANNEL IS BACK

I love the video consistency

Not gonna lie, when you all originally started this channel it felt like a breath of fresh air for speedrunning content and i was pretty excited for what was to come After a while i was very confused about why i heard so little from this channel and thought, "well the algorithm must have done them dirty" because i only occasionally saw videos even though i was subscribed. But when i checked the channel to see all the videos i assumed somehow got lost in translation, i saw that there were none that i hadn't already seen. You kind of collectively dropped the ball on this one. And i actually think this channel would have performed fantastically for some reason.

Thank you guys, this was an amazing video! And im so excited for the consistent uploads :D ❤

Fun fact, its not Friday anymore

I love when games are more complex like this and take so many clever routes

I really thought this channel was dead, never give up tho!

Great Video! I would love a video like this for the 100% run in one or two years.

As long as nobody has to stare at a rupee for over ten hours I think we'll all retain our sanity.

I love how complicated this is. thank you for the video ❤

honestly thought you were never gonna upload again lol, glad to cya back!

LOWESTPERCENT is finally back

The editing is so good! ❤

Just wait until we get wheel warps going, great vid!

So excited for more uploads!

Neat analysis video! Thanks for uploading!

the editing of this vid is top notch

I thought you were dead! Oh, my boy. I’m so happy to see you again

Gymnast is the best at explaining stuff

lowest percent finally posting made my day

that's so freaking cool, I completely forgot the spirit temple and hyrule castle counted as dungeons!

This is fascinating! LowestPercent revival?!

Another video? Nice, you are back^^

Can’t wait for Wheel Warping to change AD once again, lol, so many tricks in this game

"This game is hard to route." Twilight Princes speedrunners: "You have no right to complain about a dman thing!"

The thumbnail art on this video is a delight.

finaly you're active again

The legend has uploaded again!

5:45 how is the Faron Grasslands lynel directly on the path to Rito Village? Aren't they on opposite ends of the map?

1:13 it has been 4 months, not 6

Why wouldn’t you grab the archaic tunic if you know you need a shirt later on? I imagine it’s less than ten seconds of time loss, and it could enable the faster route. Is there something I’m missing? Edit: yes, there was something I was missing

Damn... Gymnast is such a good narrator!

What about the lynel near tama pond? Its on the way to rito village and its white maned(not sure if its always white maned or if you need the lynel to level up)

TOTK hasn’t been out for 6 months, but this is a fun video.

YES, hes BACK

In zora's quest, I have tried first meet yoda with ancient arrowana, then to the architech, then to king and then go to the water drop, lastly you can meet sidon

I was chewing some food and "Tulin's FALCON bow" was not what I heard at first.

I just found out I skipped more than half of Sidon's quest... after getting the Zora tunic, I just made a very "held together by duct tape and ambitions" balloon to go up to the water temple. I already wondered why Sidon wasn't there after I regularly completed the Fire temple with Yunobo at my side.

I can't wait for Tears of the Kingdom max% no purahglider

Honey get the kids, new Gymnast Lowest Percent just dropped!

Nintendo be like: No!!! you are not allowed to have fun on an offline single player game!!! Patch it! Patch it!!!!

GYMNAST UR VOICE IS LIKE BUTTER!!!!!!!

…alright, I’m gonna need some help with how the Faron Grasslands Lynel shown at 5:45 is on the way to Rito Village

Let's go new lowest percent video.

I remember the duplication methods were so broken in this game on release there were like 3-4 methods maybe more haha

10:26 “Smithers, there’s a rocket in my pocket.”

I must have gotten pretty lucky, cuz I encountered a falling rock in Faron Woods that took me straight to Dragonhead Island right from the get-go. That, or this is actually pretty common and I just now noticed it lol.

zuggle/zuggle overload is wild is wild

Yoooo they're back

there hasent been an upload in moths

This aged well

what a wonderful game thrusting your pocket rocket in the pursuit of a T-shirt

"After six long months" Hasn't it only been four?

2:13 LMAO THE ❤️ NEXT TO PURAH 😭 its true tho 🥺

Gym, you are the best !🎉

I'm kinda sad that Linkus didn't make this one, him and Zelda kind of go hand in hand

Zfg was behind at least some of these shenanigans, I can feel it...

melty ost in the bg??? yo??? zayloox??

I can't believe TOTK has been out for "6 long months" already.

5:40 In what world is Faron on the way to Rito Village??

miss ya

Why can't you get the archaic tunic at the beginning? I feel like that wouldn't take that long

MAAAAAAA LOWEST PERCENT UPLOADEEED

W glad you guys are back making videos!!

aww yiss, here we go

Who made the thumbnail? I love their style.

havent watched yet but great video!

Pocket rocket was patched I assume? I can't do it anymore... If that's the case any similar glitch discovered so far??

Lets give this channel an applause for continuing uploads despite shooting itself in the food by not doing do very much when it launched, this is how you know its a passion project.

I wonder how the speedrun will turn out!

Not me sitting here being told I completely missed the Spirit Temple

Is that a rocket in your pocket or are you just happy to see me

Thanks

As someone who's been trying to route an All Shrines speedrun..........yeah........

That was a wonderful

I finished the game yesterday (I also got the game on launch)
