Hope you enjoy the video, this was easily my longest commentated speedrun ever, so enjoy 3 hours of straight speedrun tech and glitch breakdowns!
(Also mini correction: At 2:28 when I said 28, I meant to say 18 units of speed)
Love your content

"rediscovered" is another word for stealing credit.
So in my experience when playing the randomizer the auction house is in such a way that when you leave and re-enter the likelihood of it showing the same item again is higher than a different one. That being said you can kind of mess with that by entering the room talking to the auctioneer declining leave the room then re-enter and do the auction. This should change the item more often than not.
Epilepsy Warning every time link prepares for the super swim thing
If i had a dollar for every time Linkus explained Manual Super Swim i would probably have a fortune, which isnt bad, but very interesting.
I enjoy explaining most speedrun tricks in this game, but MSS is something I wish would just go away at this point LMAO
@@Linkus7 Your explanations are top notch 🔥
@@Linkus7 it's iconic at this point. If you don't do it then we riot.
It’s linkus’s “imagine you’re waiting for a bus”
ACTUALLY interesting
2:22:30
I LOVE learning random trivia about childhood games I thought I knew by heart.
Heres one I love : Phantom Hourglass
If you leave the phantom ship without taking the heart piece ; you will receive a letter from the devs saying : Haven't you forget something ?
Shame you can't revisit the ship to collect the rupoors if you missed them
speedruns never stop being funny. "I ripped the souls out of these slime creatures, then pushed all but one of them into the corner of walls in such a way that they get sent miles away using gaps in reality, and i do the same to the last one but count _precisely_ when its body dissipates into the aether so that i can position myself to get crushed and swallowed by this tree. This little maneuver saved us about two minutes!"
This type of video is definitely one of the greatest resources for getting into wind waker speedrunning.
It also is just very entertaining to watch Linkus be such a monster at this game that he can perform the speedrun while explaining the nittygritty of all the crazy strategies.
Love how Linkus is so inside the Zone during the entirety of the video to the point that twitch chat is nonexistant and that makes this feel like a separate video of it's own rather than an edited VOD. Now that's impressive (Still, the route showcased on this video is completely bonkers aaand it also serves as a proof that EVERY videogame is completely broken on their core, and given enough time 100% speedrunning evolves into super-complex, multi-layered optimized routes that are mini-speedruns on their own which is completely insane to me) Simply perfect
Me: *thinking about going to bed
Linkus: *uploads video
*2hrs later
Me: *thinking about going to bed
I swear that is literaly whats happening to me this moment XD
Bruh😅
Way too accurate. Are you me? We are one?
this is happening to me right now
Just do what I do and watch it IN bed
Crazy how he can explain the whole speed run while doing said speed run
And got a decent time with it too
Listening to linkus explain the backwards swim is like listening to Bob Ross paint a canvas I love it every time
Fun fact: The Forbidden Woods are actually a corrupted version of the Kokiri Forest. You can actually see remnants of the Kokiri Village.
I've never understood how landmarks keep shifting their locations, including vertically. In Ocarina of time, Kokiri Village wasn't really any higher than most of the map. Hyrule must be very geologically unstable, otherwise that entire place would be deep underwater, just like Hyrule Castle. (I know it's for gameplay reasons.)
@@jaredbarker9515 Lurelin Village in BotW is Outset Island.
The Temple of Time at the Great Plateau is OoT Castle Town.
@@jaredbarker9515It's not supposed to make sense. They redesign Hyrule every game for game-design reasons, not lore reasons.
@@jaredbarker9515If you want to look at it from a lore perspective, consider the second word in the title of most games in the franchise: Legend. They're all legends. With legends, including those in real life, details can get muddied, exaggerated, and mixed up. So all the inconsistencies in the games can easily be chalked up to the way legends evolve over time. So far, the layout considered 'the most official' for Hyrule is the one laid out in Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, since that's the latest version. It also bears countless references to the other legends with landmarks named after characters from those old tales.
@@jaredbarker9515 I assume that when they dropped an ocean of water on the place they moved some things around so that pockets of civilization would survive the cataclysm instead of most of it drowning because it wasn't mountainous enough.
For how few rupees the Japanese version has, maybe the 10 rupees at the end of the Savage Laberynth *are* meant to be a real reward
Full-game long speedrun explanations are my jam. Love the showcase of routing and hard tricks.
I wasn't paying attention to your little box in the corner during the first half of the game and I assumed you were watching a recording of your own run, because doing a run with so many crazy tricks WHILE explaining them seemed insane to me. And then... I looked where your hands were. Holy shit, dude. You're incredible for explaining these so damn well AND speedrunning the game at the same time?! Incredible!
I wish more speedrunners would break down their runs like this. This was incredibly informative, even as a more casual player myself. I learned a ton about the game and some cool trivia.
I believe the reason tingle is so expensive lore wise is so he is able to buy himself more outfits since in one of the tingle tuner flavor texts he mentions that his outfit 398 rupees.
Watching the Live Stream was fun, thanks for cutting it down by a good amount and taking all the time to explain it.
One of my favorite games as a child. I'm glad it still has relevance after over 20 years
Nah don’t tell me it’s been that long 😭😭
I love that you showcase this game on the original released compared to your most luckiest run on the HD version of Wind Waker. It’s interesting how some strategies were way ahead and some were awesome to be showcased. Thank you Linkus7 and your content is so good.
Spirit tracks is such an underrated game with amazing music, I'm happy to hear more and more people using its ost
I love this as a concept for showing off everything. Feels like a very good introduction someone trying to grasp the whole of a speedrun in a way i havent really seen before. At least not with quite as much detail/live
I had a long drive today and this perfectly matched the time.
I’ve watched enough Linkus speedruns to see the game in my minds eye while the audio played :)
Love these kind of Linkus long form vids. Almost like a GDQ playthrough with the explainations. Very relaxing and great entertainment!
It's 2024 and Linkus is still explaining super swimming. Life is good.
2:21:45 There's also the fact that all of these Treasure Chests are still in the international releases, so you'd still have to get them anyway for 100%
These sunken chest only contain rupees on the international releases, so they are not required to fish up for 100%. It's a combination of the different heart piece locations (mainly savage labyrinth) and text that makes JP a lot faster than US or PAL. Also, you have to visit all these islands for other reasons as well, so adding one chest to salvage is far from bad.
3 HOUR SPEEDRUN EXPLAINED??? FROM THE HITMAN COWBOY HIMSELF??? HYPE
Thanks for explaining how the swimming glitch worked, I saw it in and animation for speed runs and always wondered how it worked.
i am so glad people are still making videos on this game. Wind Waker was my first zelda game and i love watching the speedruns with all the crazy glitches. Thank you linkus :D
Probably one of the best explained long speedruns i've ever seen. you can just see from the start how he enjoys explaining all those techniques and pulling them off like a robot. Can only highly recommend this to every speedrun enthusiast.
2:15:54 that edit was clean.. major props!
Zelda Wind Waker speedruns have always been a treat to watch. Despite enjoying the run, I must admit that I didn't fully understand everything that was going on. So this video is much appreciated!
I fell asleep watching this and it REALLY messed with my dreams, especially "nothing bad could ever happen to Makar-- *Makar shrieks*"
Linkus is so cute when he explains stuff, he looks so passionate it's absolutely adorable :D ♥
Loved watching this live! So hype to see it edited!
Windwaker is my favorite in the franchise and am always a fan of seeing it speedrun. Explanations were fantastic ❤ can’t wait for the next stream!
I'm sure other people have done this but your my favorite but still what a flex, speed running a game while talking about every detail about how to speed run the game, that proves you know what your doing and I'm pretty sure you have two brains.
Somebody should make a Wind Waker / Twilight Princess combo randomizer.
Archipelago exists, with more games being added all the time. Hopefully that'll be possible soon.
Windwaker taught us a bunch of great lessons, including that the literal Zelda translation for 'BIG BROTHER!!!!' is OOIIIII
finally another long form video, i dont know how well they do on your channel, but i really enjoy them!
This was so much fun. This kind of long-form video helps me sleep at night. Not because it's boring, no - it's just relaxing.
I think this is the first time I've ever seen you do the MSS without pause buffering and I was not expecting it
LOVED this video. You're so good at explaining speedrunning glitches and strategies in a way that casual players can understand!
As someone who has watched a ton of Zelda speedruns, as well as lots of Linkus content, it's really nice to hear the explanations behind all these tricks and glitches. Thank you Linkus and keep up the great work!!
Linkus, I love how thoroughly you explain your speedruns and how much love you show for the Zelda series! Thank you for this video, the Twilight Princess video was also a great watch!
Thank you so much for this run and commentary!! Was so enjoyable to relive every moment of this run with new explanations.
Hey linkus! I doubt you will see this but every time you make a speed run video and you explain the tricks is very appreciated! I personally don't care to speed run games, but I love watching speedrun content. You are by far the best speedrun content creator out there, you take your time to actually explain tricks and glitches for people to understand and It really helps people like me understand how it works, thank you so much!
Two and a half hours of zelda content? HELL YEAH!
I could listen to Linkus talk Zelda allll daayyy looonggg
*gets pulled over*
Linkus: "now, since this is a speedrun, I'm gonna leave this area."
*phases through wall*
Thank you Lunkus, this must have taken a long time to go through and make it so concise. I always appreciate your more educational-focused videos.
You dont understand how my brain time traveled when you mentioned 'Kazooie'. I was just teenager lurking on youtube, looking at all the cool zelda glitches people were finding every day. I remember when barrier skip was found, i even remember when Door of Time skip was found, Ganondoor, etc. I wish I could go back
Lets goo I've been waiting for this video since it was the first linkus live stream i ever caught it was cool nothing my name as chat passes was such a fun experience 100% recommend hanging out in a linkus live stream if you've never caught one
I swear I can hear you talk about this game for hours and never get bored thank you linkus for being you
Learned so much about my favorite games in this run. Great job as always!
The endurance it takes to do a run like this while explaining it and being in front of a live audience is impressive, good job Linkus!!
Pretty dang fun to watch someone speed run while giving clear explanations that are easy to understand
Thanks!
I can't believe all these glitches are "pausa"ble. Haha, love the vid! Even just being able to listen at work without watching, its still so entertaining. This totally makes up for linkus not being at gdq this year!
Linkus is so great at explaining what’s happening and the editing was clean
My favorite part of this video was hearing about MSS - I just kept replaying that segment for two hours then called it a day. Keep it up!
another well done video linkus amazing as always btw puppet ganon is probably one of my favorite boss in term of visual design so unique and good looking
You all know the cutscene that takes place
"Link's all amazed! I don't care, I want to be amazed!!!"
Back to back Linkus uploads that's epic
The guy that “rediscovered” that skip defiantly seen the previous one haha he had too, great story tho that’s very interesting It’s crazy that people were on this grind back then, we live in a cool time haha. Love your commentary and how you’ve explained things throughout the video great video man!
Nah why is he sooooo good at explaining this… WHILE LIVE AND SPEEDRUNNING??L? Teach me
This video right here is PrimeTime Linkus7, Great fucking job brother. Literally make some popcorn and just watch.
Oh is this the video I checked in when you streamed the other week and you gathered commentary? Very good video as usual, been watching since 2014!
That barrier skip setup sounds like someone describing a fake speedun trick lol
"Like yeah, next you spin around a couple times and drop a frame perfect bomb. It's totally real guys. You gotta believe me"
Y'all I have watched this video 2 times now because I love when speedruns are explained
31:00 "*If you're in a bottle of water*" Lol I thought that was funny but thank you for the content. I just really got into LoZ from BotW so seeing this stuff is quite entertaining.
This was the most enjoyable thing I have seen in a long time. You are very talented Linkus
Thanks Linkus for producing these well-produced explanations. Love them. Honestly, without them, I find speedruns a bit difficult to watch.
that canon boat must be the one piece of heart i was missing when i tried to 100% years ago. lol good to know now
Wind Waker is my favorite Zelda game! Linkus is the GOAT too. love the pronunciation of BomB.
Fell asleep right at the begining for 1 hour and 40 mins.
Great video.
Hyped for wr attempts gl!
46:50 if I had a nickel for every game Linkus speedruns that has an NPC on a walk cycle that has a random chance to be slowed down by an animation, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.
Keep these videos coming windwaker speed runs make us viewers very happy
Linkus accidentally using Grandma's fairy absolutely killed me for all imaginable reasons.
My favorite Zelda game ever, completed with complete commentary? Yes please
I wish the video was 7 hours long
i very much enjoy these in depth speedrun explain videos
this is incredible, two hour linkus commentary!
Man i wanted a nice zelda vid to watch and baam, linkus delivers
Love this game, love this channel, loved this vid
Next explain the entire totk 100% speed run. every detail, uncut, do it, you know you want to, do it
Speedruns have two meaning to their names: incredibly fast past runs and the one completed is on SPEED
Awesome job explaining it. Or at least I think I get it lol. Worth the watch!
Incredible ability to commentate while performing extremely precise tricks! Fantastic video!
This man so humble with a goated run, great commentary.
Everything that is not a wall or door is a chest, makes understanding the run easier!
Thank you for explaining the glitches! Made it worth sitting through the ads haha
Loved catching this live, can’t wait for the next stream!
yo same
omg same
I like the sentence "The old methods used to involve a glitch called memory corruption, but nowadays, we use a bomb."
It's really impressive how you're capable of clearly explaining all of these strats and glitches over the course of several hours. Definitely not an easy feat!
I was just wondering the other day why Linkus hadn't uploaded to main in over a month. Guess I know now lmao time to grab popcorn and dig into the newest feature
a flashing lights warning would be nice
you are awesome dude! love your content
Instructions unclear: didn't save grandma
Linkus7, don't forget to collect those invisible collectible flags in the Picto Box house in Windfall on 2 or 1 of the paintings/pictures. You have to throw a pot at it.
Starting with spirit tracks music getting to Wind Waker. Makes me wish you'll do a speedrun of that.
Love these videos !!
2 and a half hours of linkus wind waker, holy moly im pagging!
Good luck on your speedrun!
