I appreciate that you have the awareness to let the announcer know when there are times for donations, not many runners do that and you end up hearing after some silence the announcer going "uh, is it okay if I read a few donations?"
@adeen5438 You want to here cringe inducing donors, as well as depressing messages “My mom loved zelda, but she can’t watch cuz she died of cancer!” No fuck donations
You killed it dude, this run was completely insane to watch live. The fact you can commentate and perform so well to such a huge audience is amazing. Keep up the awesome job! One of the best runs at the event hands down.
It's insane to see how quickly the time has gone down for wind waker these past few years. Like 3 years ago being sub 4 hours was a great time to get and now it's just over an hour!! Great work my dude!
I've been wanting to leave this comment forever. THIS was the single most entertaining run I've ever seen at GDQ hands down. The crowd participation, the glitch mastery and teachings, the interesting things you do throughout the run like the ganondorf laugh, the clever banter and charm. Beautiful! An absolute work of art. You have earned our subs and our hearts Linkus!
OOOOIIIIIIIIIIII Best run of the entire event and I'm so glad I saw it live. Commentary, execution, memes, Swedish counting to summon demons, having Gym there, the hug, all amazing to watch
I could tell just how much Linkus was relieved to get the Morth first try, considering how he must have felt during his HD any% run last time. You killed it dude, congrats!
Franz M. To explain further; the windwaker strat he does is much faster than an MSS; the MSS requires you to manually build speed by frame buffering, but the windwaker glitch version allows link to generate negative speed every frame automatically (much faster and much less input-heavy)
I always love these Wind Waker runs. I am so sorry I missed this live, but something about this speedrun always brings a smile to my face. Keep up the great work Linkus!
I love seeing speedruns because these are the games that I played as a kid, and seeing them optimized like frick, it makes me want to go back to them and play them again and try some of the tricks but also having massive nostalgia. I love your work, keep it up!
At this point they should rename the series to The Legend of Linkus. Caught this run during the show, your runs are always an absolute joy, came back to watch this today cuz I'm stuck in bed recovering from surgery and needed something to brighten my day.
very entertaining and educational! I'm impressed how fast you get through the game and simultaneously explain everything so expansively :) keep up the great work!
god, looking back at this run a year later, this is a seriously great run. amazing commentary, impeccable gameplay, great jokes. this is seriously the peak of speedrun entertainment.
I just realized that the Korok “Maca” in the Lost Woods in Breath of the Wild also yells “Oooooy” Zelda has a good way of making references but it might be unintentional
18:32 I have been forever immortalized to a GDQ run with a horrible pun, my life is now complete. Jokes aside, congrats on your incredible run, it was definitely one of the highlights for the event!
Amazing run, Linkus! Always love watching you run my favourite game. Been amazing to watch your progress as the run has evolved over the last few years! Keep up the amazing work!
Insane run Linkus! You made every glitch look so easy while I spent weeks just trying to do MSS lmao. But this makes me even more motivated to practice and eventually run this game!
Mom: "Hey timmy, why is the sofa moving?" Timmy: "I'm watching Linkus7 play the Legend of Zelda: the Windwaker SD version for the Nintendo GameCube really fast"
It's been a hot minute since I've checked in at your videos! Definitely one of the main reasons I got into watching a lot of speedruns in general! Keep up the great work!
This host. Wow I love when the host (i think thats what they call the donation reader) interacts with the runner/couch/crowd. The girl who did metroid impossible was also good but I like this guy.
Thank you for uploading it, my dude. I wasn't able to watch it live due to time zones but be sure that I'm watching it now in uni in between my lectures.
So the gameplay is stellar, the commentary is awesome because you keep explaining what you do and why so filthy plebs like me can follow and you even roped gymnast in for co-op shenanigans. Honkin' awesome run my dude.
I was really concered for the last hover, not because i dont trust your skill, but i just really didnt want it to be like the other any% you did. I was so happy that it went first try
You know a game is amazingly broken when the runner goes "if I don't break these two pots then the game crashes"
46:30
That girl in the crowd who scream "Oooooy!" Has to be the official voice actress of Link's sister
It was SPOT ON so it's either that or someone that's dedicated time into perfecting it lol
I watched live, and multiple times i thought it was actually in the game.
@@vexumvii3559 it was a guy sitting in the crowd.
@@vexumvii3559 At 1:12:10 they actually "laugh" while Oy-ing, I find it highly unlikely that's a speaker, but it could be.
@@KagaminaraShikatsu a speaker that laugh yeah ofc
Imagine waking your brother up and then just watching him travel back and forth at lightning speeds.
You mean you don't do that when you wake up?
probably a normal thing for her to see at this point
when gym hugged linkus at the end
It was like a big brother hugging his little brother. D'awww....
And Linkus hugged Gym when he finished speedrunning Skyward Sword
I ship it
Oh my god I lost it that was so adorable. UGH
@@gonxmaster did he? I don't remember Linkus being there
Man you did great, and got some pretty good luck considering marathon, but your explanations were really good and jokes were bueno. GREAT RUN.
Did cat approve too?
you make youtube videos
Oh hi alax!
Nice
i can't like because it's at 777 i don't wanna ruin it lol
Praise the indestructibility of the GameCube controller to allow speedrunners to super swim.
Well GC Controller destroys Fox mains hands in Melee tho
Super swimming doesn’t really require that much stress on the controller. It’s the zombie hovers that’ll completely ruin your b button
@@Tucanazo69 So what breaks are your hands and not the controller
@@Tucanazo69 any controller will give fox main 15 forms of arthritis
Zombie Hover is even harder on the poor thing lol
I appreciate that you have the awareness to let the announcer know when there are times for donations, not many runners do that and you end up hearing after some silence the announcer going "uh, is it okay if I read a few donations?"
Adeen yeah that’s one of my pet peeves too. announcers have an important job, and they always do a great job with the donations regardless!
The donations are usually cringe as hell
@@eyeofsauron7662 The crowd is more cringe then the donations in this one.
@@eyeofsauron7662
People donating and sharing experiences dealing with cancer is cringe? You are such a loser.
@adeen5438 You want to here cringe inducing donors, as well as depressing messages “My mom loved zelda, but she can’t watch cuz she died of cancer!” No fuck donations
It's so wholesome to see the crowd be so supportive of Linkus. And he more than deserves it with his spot on commentary and run.
Excellent work, Linkus. It was a pleasure to see you there. I enjoy how you play games. Much love!
Hello verified person
"if your IKEA furniture starts moving I'm sorry" LMAO
I fucking lost it
GIMME THE TIMESTAMP
@@CattoYT BRUH ITS BEEN 7 MONTHS SINCE I MADE THIS COMMENT YOU THINK I REMEMBER
@@grealy13 34:18
I didnt get that joke
The Aryll impressions from the audience are high-quality, almost as high-quality as the gameplay. cheers mate!
You killed it dude, this run was completely insane to watch live. The fact you can commentate and perform so well to such a huge audience is amazing. Keep up the awesome job! One of the best runs at the event hands down.

And sub one hour will be possible really soon :)

Accurate comment
Man the level of positivity from Linkus and the crowd just felt GREAT while watching this! We need more speed runs like this at GDQ :)
One of the best runs I've ever seen in my entire life.
OOOOIIIIIIIIIIII
Best run of the entire event and I'm so glad I saw it live. Commentary, execution, memes, Swedish counting to summon demons, having Gym there, the hug, all amazing to watch
Was...that you!? The OOOOIIII in the crowd?
HOOOOOOOOOOONK!
HOOOOOOOOOOONK!
I could tell just how much Linkus was relieved to get the Morth first try, considering how he must have felt during his HD any% run last time. You killed it dude, congrats!
34:13 For the Swedish counting. Held my breath during the live stream, this run was an absolute joy to watch
Hej!
18:09 Wow that Aryll impression was spot on! Either that or that was her actual voice actor in the crowd watching the Kaze no Takuto HD speedrun.
Wind Waker: Chrome%
we be eating this RAM
Crash% With the help of memory corruption and any bug you want, crash the game as fast as possible
Watching you speedrun in fluffy socks with a cup of hot chamomile tea really is what I needed tonight
I saw this comment before watching the video so I thought you meant Linkus was in fluffy socks and had chamomile.
@@robertstegmann9260 me too lmao
same
@@robertstegmann9260 same lmao
LMAOOOOOOO
I always love coming back to watch this run every once in a while...such a great run!!
i loved that part where he was counting in swedish
Dude, that was a sick run! Congrats on absolutely crushing it! Can’t wait for the next stream!
The "WHAAAAAAAT?!" at 9:33 after the first super swim was hilarious
GDQ clapping for manual super swim?
Linkus chat doesn't get out of BED for a MSS
Hey there Touker
Whats a MSS? (I never played Wind Waker)
@@franz7417 the manual super swim he does at the start of the run
Franz M. To explain further; the windwaker strat he does is much faster than an MSS; the MSS requires you to manually build speed by frame buffering, but the windwaker glitch version allows link to generate negative speed every frame automatically (much faster and much less input-heavy)
oof true
Thanks for this amazing run. In my eyes this run is an instant classic, easily in my top 10 agdq runs of all time.
Amazing run at AGDQ! I'm so happy I caught it live!
Hadn’t seen a ww speedrun in a long time and this was so so incredible, and some of the best commentary! Thank u!
34:38
Kul att höra Linkus7 räkna på svenska.
(Fun to hear Linkus counting in swedish.
Thanks AGDQ and all the runners for this.
Kollar du på Speedrunning?
@@RoseQuartz692 ja, det har jag gjort i många år.

I've seen so many of these linkus speedruns I'm basically an expert on storage.
I'm so glad I get to see some of the earlier runs I missed. Great GDQ, first time I got to see it live. :D Love the atmosphere
This might be the best live speedrun I've seen. Everything and everyone was on point.
You’re a great speed runner and a great commentator.
absolutely amazing to see such a wonderful game played through like this grew up playing this game and still one of my favorites to this day ❤️
As a Swedish person I am extremely happy seeing you doing so well in my favorite Zelda game. Bra gjort :) !
This is my favorite speedrun I've seen, and I really liked the commentary!
This was another impressive Wind Waker run. Love all your runs you did so far at GDQ. Thank you so much !
That was probably the best puppet Ganon fight you’ve had in a long time! the Swedish sniper strikes again!!
34:35 activate automatic subtitles while he's counting to have a bit of fun :)
"I am tortilla", hahahahahahahah
I am Swedish and I’m laughing out my eyes right now😂
So excited to sit down/lay back and watch this. You’re the best Linkus
god, looking back at this run a year later, this is a seriously great run. amazing commentary, impeccable gameplay, great jokes. this is seriously the peak of speedrun entertainment.
.....
Bro that was fkn excellent.
One of my favorite speed runs to watch
Great job with everything!
This was one of the best runs at GDQ 🙌🏻
the best crowd ive seen in the speedruns sofar amazing dude

This is the most amazing speed run I've ever witnessed
Amazing run, Linkus! Always love watching you run my favourite game. Been amazing to watch your progress as the run has evolved over the last few years! Keep up the amazing work!
What a great run :)
I really like your authenticity and calm way of explaining, Linkus :)
I could watch you play this game until the end of time. Please never stop ww runs
You can tell there are some newer wind waker viewers in the audience and theyre so excited, its great!
I just randomly happened to search for Wind Waker speedruns and was not disappointed. Great humor!
you have to admire this community and their commitment and loyalty to the speed runners
im so happy you are still doing this, GO LINKUS GO!
Insane run Linkus! You made every glitch look so easy while I spent weeks just trying to do MSS lmao. But this makes me even more motivated to practice and eventually run this game!
Best speed run Ive seen on this game
And the crowd made it even more fun to watch!
Oyyyyyyyyy
What an insane run. I couldn't stop watching it, infinitely crazy!
In already laughing in the first 5 minutes, the crowd yelled "OOOOOI" and I lost it.
Mom: "Hey timmy, why is the sofa moving?"
Timmy: "I'm watching Linkus7 play the Legend of Zelda: the Windwaker SD version for the Nintendo GameCube really fast"
It's been a hot minute since I've checked in at your videos! Definitely one of the main reasons I got into watching a lot of speedruns in general! Keep up the great work!
one of the more entertaining runs on the channel. awesome stuff
Love the Ganon laugh at the end. Just the idea that you put yourself in this uncomfortable position to laugh helps me with my insecurities in life :D
This host. Wow I love when the host (i think thats what they call the donation reader) interacts with the runner/couch/crowd. The girl who did metroid impossible was also good but I like this guy.
53:35 all the people in the front row have there hands together praying for the barrier to disappear xD
praying to the RNG gods my friend
The satanic ritual to the rng gods has begun.
Linkus7 is the best GDQ runner! Crazy shenanigans going on here.
Amazing run Linkus! Happy to say I was the 1000th like on the video :)
18:09 that was just perfect!
One of the best runs i have ever seen! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 congratulations man!
this run had a really nice crowd, great watch!
Very smooth run. Well done Linkus!
might just have been the best run of this GDQ. Great job!
I've always loved Ganondorf's reaction to Valoo burning his fortress down. He's just like "the fucking audacity..."
Thank you for uploading it, my dude. I wasn't able to watch it live due to time zones but be sure that I'm watching it now in uni in between my lectures.
Daaaaaang that zombie hover at the end using the morth was amazing :)
unbelievably entertaining man! Love your amazing attitude as well!!
The whole ikea furniture joke was hilarious!! Loved the run!
"My wife's father and a friend just days ago died from cancer."
This dude: "yeah so anyways if you mash B 76 times you can fly through rocks."
Well, yes. That is GDQ.
Guy doing thing to raise money is doing the thing to raise money, more at 11
You know the runs good when 6 minutes in you're talking about backup pauses
Congratulations for the excellent run Linkus!
The first try morth hover at the end is the best shit since first try barrier skip :D
So the gameplay is stellar, the commentary is awesome because you keep explaining what you do and why so filthy plebs like me can follow and you even roped gymnast in for co-op shenanigans.
Honkin' awesome run my dude.
I was really concered for the last hover, not because i dont trust your skill, but i just really didnt want it to be like the other any% you did. I was so happy that it went first try
Such a good run + commentary. I like the duo.
Crazy seeing this run in AGDQ with how precise all the tricks are, haha. Great job!
This was a brilliant run to watch and see evreones reaction to your hard work. Fantastic job.
Linkus and Gymnast have such a wholesome friendship I love it
Probably one of if not the best run this year at agdq!! Oooooiiiii!
I keep coming back to this, it was really a fantastic run.
So many crazy tricks in this speedrun It's so entertaining to watch
Saludos desde Ecuador!! Este speedRun fue impresionante!!! Felicitaciones!!!
I always thought Linkus7 and gymnast were enemies and there was a competition between both. But they seems to be cool to each others
Haha yeah they have done a lot of these GDQ speedruns together, they are all very fun to watch
So nice to watch ! I recently started to get into speedrun watching when it is nice when it is well explained.
This is one of the best GDQ runs ever
