One of the best developments of the video is seeing chat put in the petthemai emote text in chat even though the stream didn’t have the emote and then later you can see that the emote was added and chat was able to show their love for the maimai’s even when Linkus was annoyed by getting one at the end of a dungeon.
I was surprised the item upgrades weren't randomized... like if you have the item and 10 maimais you can get the "upgrade" which is another random item... then again that could lead to a lot of logic breaks cause it'd have to allow almost any order of item upgrades. Alternatively just every ten maimais could get you a new item but... I dunno. Maybe 10 Maimais + 1 item = 1 new check idk
@@sinteleon correct, all the upgrades do is simply make the game easier. That said, if the upgrades were randomized like megarotom suggested, it would theoretically be possible that progression could get locked behind a specific maiamai upgrade, and could likely result in many softlocked runs
Man, I'd love to have Linkus as my neighbor. Imagine going about your day only to hear your swedish neighbor shout, at the top of his lungs, IKEAAAAAAA!
This is one of my all time favorite Zelda games that I've played dozens of times and I've always been disappointed by how few people do playthroughs. Seeing you enjoy this severely underrated game is some of my all time favorite Zelda content
They could be good if the randomizer was more sophisticated. Like you couldn’t just go right to final boss, you needed to complete the main story Dungions. But for wind temple you need the paraglider, so you’d need to go around looking for it. And in Fire Temple you need heat protection gear. If the randomizer took out that outfit as something to buy and you needed to find it, then it’s more challenging. Now, there are far too many chests to need to check so the randomizer should randomize these needed items in its region. Fire set in Eldin, paraglider in hebra. Zora tunic in lanayru, etc. This would greatly improve those randomizer in my opinion.
I just realized... since in that seed, Zelda gave him a Maiamai... that means the 100 Maiamai reward was actually hard-locked... it'd be funny if it was the Bow
@@jackgartner3110 it would depend on how early in development the randomizer is as I've heard stories of the first randomizers generating Bricked seeds that couldn't be complete.
Ik its not related to the ransomizer, but TLOZ LBW was my first actual zelda game that i put the effort into completeing, 3 seperate times just because I loved the game so much, and 100% it on 2 of those playthroughs just because its not even that bad for this game. Love to see this game getting attention
@@thew00dsman79 Cuccoo minigame is fun and not that hard. Unless you're like me and stubbornly try to reach 100 seconds on Endless difficulty thinking there's a second major prize there (there are, in fact, no major prizes in Endless). That would count as self-inflicted torture.
This game is incredible, probably my favorite Zelda game of all time. It was also the first game I ever speedrun by following tutorials on RUclips so it has a special place in my heart
When I played Ice Ruins, I remember the pain of spending ungodly amounts of time wandering the dungeon, looking for whatever key or switch I was missing. Despite all that, I still love the Ice Ruins. I don't think there's any dungeon in LBW that I dislike. Though the one that irritates me the most at times is Dark Palace, simply because I get tired of equipping and unequipping the lantern (I still generally like Dark Palace though).
8:41 - 9:04 Ham salami and mushrooms are all fantastic pizza toppings. But mushrooms are *not* "vegetables", they're not even plants; mushrooms are fungi, which is an entirely distinct form of life from plants and animals.
These randomisers are so tempting to get into as someone who loves Zelda games but can't stomach the effort it takes to start one. It's a solid 2-3 hours, if not more, of effort to get to the point where the game opens up, and so much of that time is cutscenes and scripted sequences and even beyond that it's only a slow trend upwards into an open and enjoyable and dynamic game yknow? It's not immediately the game i wanna be playing even after i get past that intro slog. I love Zelda games for their incredibly good dungeon and puzzle design and for their sense of progression, and these randomizers are those two things on absolute hard drugs, without any of the preamble and sequencing of "okay, this is the thing i HAVE to do next". You have one goal- get the items that let you get to the final boss. How you get the things to get there, IF you get the things to get there, is up to you.
this game was my first ever zelda game and was a big part of my childhood since we traveled with the 3ds a bunch, so happy to see this kind of awesome content on it!
A really fun challenge for this game is to beat the whole thing on Hero mode, without using the sword. It makes you use all the items, and makes the whole thing a lot of fun. I hope someone tries it :)
I tried this rando a week or so ago, it's so fun! Can't wait to watch this. Also, you're lucky to get the sword just an hour and a half in. I'm like 4 hours in and I still don't have it. I do have the large spin attack and a bunch of weapons, but still no sword... I even did like 3-4 dungeons with no sword.
7:12 I'm sad that it skips the dialouge for this guy, considering it's the funniest things in this game. For those who haven't seen it, the cyclops will beg you to spare him and will give you a bunch of money. You can do this up to 6 times before he goes "That's it... GIMMIE BACK MAH RUPEES!" He then turns invincible and proceeds to beat the shit out of you until you leave.

I always brushed off a link between worlds because I think I always associated it with triforce heroes for some reason as the same/similar game. Linkus showed me I was obviously a fool I need this on my 3DS immediately
I've never really watched or played randomizers before, but this was a fun video. Also I see you've occasionally used models that I made for Zelda Wiki in your thumbnails, it's always nice seeing where they pop up.
With the turtle rock, I 100% agree with there should've been a notifier for a lot of things like killing enemies to progress. Childhood me Got so confused playing this game, went back to it a couple years ago and 100%'d it. 10/10 zelda game, only thing I would change is that you have to buy your weapons/tools.
Linkus, you should learn the cool speedrun skip that skips the entire sand temple. It's pretty satisfying! There's also a somewhat cool skip for the ice palace.
7:41 Eh, probably not that bad. While technically the Lorule dungeons can be done in almost any order, Thieves' Hideout is usually recommended as the first Lorule dungeon to tackle.
I played this game nonstop when I was younger and wanted to 100% complete the game so I spent hours and hours looking for every single thing but I only recently found out I already had everything for like half of that lol
54 minutes ago! Yay I was excited for this since it was mentioned last week! This is really cool! I was actually wondering since this was mentioned in last week’s video of what silly thing would happen from the 888 rupee buying check
When he was approaching the triforce at the end there was part of me that thought he was going to pick it up and it was going to turn out to be a maimai 😂

I love this game, and I love randomizers. Super hyped for this one
When this video came on my screen so did I
I still haven’t played this game but I really want too
Same 🎮👍
I think that some randomizers can troll a lot that I think that’s kind of the point cuz if it’s a baby seed then i can believe that he can win
Maiamais have become the bane of Linkus' existence. When he needed a miracle to save Hyrule and Lorule, he was granted a maiamai.
His randomized playthoughs are goated
Except the Tears of the Kingdom and Breath of the wild ones... But that's more because of how those games are not good randomizer games.

I can't express how much this playthrough means to me, after so long linkus finally discovered how amazing this rando is
when he touches the triforce "you got a maimai" "what?"
I already see it lol him progressively getting more and more tired of potentially seeing the lost Maiamai just like with the graditude crystals 😂
