TotK Any%  

colgera theme for an actual bossfight

Just came to say: Never heard of this speedrunner, and is below 40????

@@richardmahn7589 he sort of just came out of the blue when the Quick drop smuggle glitch was found and just became the best runner this game ever saw in only a month

tbh I'm suspicious

@@luckstyleplays And now his record has stayed for well over a month! Hmmm

@@ShirakoriMio It's still here as record, but I guess no one has found any fault in it, right?

Thanks Fondue!

I hope you'll be grinding to beat this ;)

Thanks Nightmare!

Thanks Anthony!

Thanks RedSlay!

Thanks! Player 5 was actually the one who got me into speedrunning!

Thanks, but I'm done with the category for now :(

Thanks Draco!

Player 5 hasn't ran TotK since January.

@@moldymeatballs I haven't ran since Last August

It's the first it's quite literally in the title in it says v 1.0.0

@@joshuamorales3303 I actually put that in after seeing this, so at the time they made this comment, it was not there.

@@rowolta oh ok mb G I didn't realize

I think it’s a duplication glitch

Yeah it is a duplication glitch, which you can notice because every time I do it, the number of those materials increase.

I did a glitch called "zuggle" which lets us put unlimited weapons onto Link's hand so in this case I zuggled 4 Royal Halberds together then I fused a Black Boss Bokoblin Horn to my weapon which fuses it to all 4 of the Royal Halberds. Not only that, but the Royal weapons in TotK have a special perk where they do extra damage (I think it was 2x damage) when doing a flurry rush and you can see while fighting Ganondorf we only deal damage to him in a flurry rush. I think this adds up to ~234 damage per hit but I could be wrong about that.

@@moldymeatballs wow! That's awesome Thanks for the in depth answer 😊

I'm glad!

We actually throw a wing capsule down to where some constructs are, and if we hit a fan that is down below, it activates the dialogue with the construct where they give you the battery. The purpose of this is to avoid a way longer dialogue that we would normally get after the Fuse shrine if we did not already get the battery by then.

Its slightly faster

Playing in russian gives you one less textbox, saving 1.1 seconds.

You just select the zonai devices you want to dupe and press Y and B at the same time. Note that if you want to do this with materials, you have to be either in the middle of a shield surf, or have your paraglider out when you enter the inventory. Also this only works on versions 1.0.0 - 1.1.1 of TotK so if you are on 1.2.1 it will not work. If you want to get version 1.0.0, you have 2 options; you can mod your switch, or if you have a physical copy of TotK, then you can factory reset your switch.

@@moldymeatballs will doing a factory reset delete all of your game data?

@@jacob-fr5zi Yes, it will delete all of your save data on every game on your switch. Although, I've heard that there is a way to back up your save data on your games via cloud saves. I'd look into it first though.

By doing a glitch called Quick Drop Smuggle, you can put Link into a state where he can gain infinite height and perform something called Arrow Smuggle Flight. If you would like to learn how to do it then be sure to join the Tears of the Kingdom Speedrunning discord and ask for any help that you may need.

@@moldymeatballs what version is it on

@@nicholaspickles7940 Quick Drop Smuggle is v1.0.0 exclusive, but there are many different arrow smuggle setups and at least one that works on every version. Unfortunately, the higher version you are on, the slower/harder the setup is.

@@moldymeatballs luckily am a god a pickle god so I can do any glitch

@@moldymeatballs also I react to your speedrun

Blue shell (thanks tot lol)

@@moldymeatballs 😎

French was the fastest for Breath of the Wild, but Russian is faster in Tears of the Kingdom due to some shorter text. There are a few less dialogue boxes which saves about one second. If you've seen people playing in french in this game, then it's likely that the runner speaks french as it took a few months to find out that Russian was faster, so for a while people just played in their native language.

@@an_egg_guy wow, I couldn’t even think that in some game in Russian the dialogue would be faster, usually they play Japanese or French versions for this purpose

For people like me, it is the most fun way to play the game, but remember, speedrunning is not for everybody!

same could be said about BOTW speedruns. I find this to be absolutely crazy in the best way possible, that the speedrunner goes from leaving the great sky island to fighting the final boss in a few minutes.

The joy comes from knowing you're a speedrunning god.

80% of modern AAA games 😰😰😰

TotK has a story, do you mean the cutscenes interrupt gameplay?

I can’t even figure out what that’s supposed to mean Most of the time I would assume you’re just calling the story bad but my buddy you cannot possibly be serious

Someone didn’t play the game and based it off the literal speedrun that includes the prologue, tutorial and ending close together.

Joke RU-vid Commenters Heads

@@samstromberg5593 I personally loved the story, but I have heard tons of people who thought it was kind of alright and I'm sure a ton of people hated it. Absolutely no need to say anything like that please.

Particularly the 4 minute unskippable cutscene at the very beginning :(

can’t you start with 06:39 added to the timer on later versions

@@MyNameOnRU-vid Technically you can on every version, but in this case, because I'm running on v1.0.0, which is the only version where the intro clip works, it saves over a minute to go through the intro every time if you do the clip and the out of bounds movement well.
