linkus is always so much fun to watch at GDQ because he's so receptive to the audience and the donation readings. He's got a really fun personality and I love how well he explains what he's doing
any speedrun is good for sleeping you must not have mastered full tiredness and laziness yet. i've slept to an OOT tas plenty of times. most of the time being tired means i gotta search videos i wanna sleep to. it's a hard business trust me this video is just something you Save Starr couldn't sleep to. i have a playlist of speedruns that are basicly sleepbait for me in case i really need to snooze i'm all prepped up.
Damn that game hel;d wonderfully over the years. It still looks just as gorgeous as the year it released, thanks to the art style! It could release in 2020 with the same art, I wouldn't bat an eye!
This crowd is the best. Everyone dancing in rhythm with the pauses was the absolute best and had me in stitches. That plus everyone shouting "orb!", "sploosh", or "kaboom!" along with some praising the sun was hilarious. Great to have an engaged crowd.
Oh my gosh. I didn't know that barrier skip had been consistently found/proven yet. Holy crap. That blew my mind when he said he was going to do barrier skip.
i watched this live and now watching it on youtube, it is SO much better! Being able to skip the infinite amount of kabooms and orbs said makes it so much more enjoyable to watch!
This remains my favorite Wind Waker run on AGDQ. The comments from the donators were great, the audience was great, the announcer rolled with everything the donators and the audience did (which is great), the couch was awesome and Linkus is my favorite WW runner.
Watching this live was great but you could see the pain in Linkus and Gym's eyes after an hour of repeating the same stale catchphrases. Message to people who donated with "Kaboom" or "Orb": You have donated to a great cause and have thousands reading your message. Is that opportunity to make them laugh or feel some kind of emotion really better utilized by ending it with a word that people will scream that will make them forget your initial words?
It's late night/early morning GDQ. They get loud to keep up the hype other wise everyone would fall asleep. Just because you don't like to have fun doesn't mean the rest of us don't.
This is an absolutely incredible run. Super interesting to watch, great explanations, great commentary, overall just a super pleasant experience. Thank you for showcasing this game and category!
I tryed to watch it live, even donated what I could, but it was so late and I fell asleep. Gonna watch on youtube now :) The swedish sniper is my favorite runner and zelda runs are so fun to watch
Chris Trenkov I have loved GDQ events for over 4 years, but I noticed a lot of repetitive interruptions this year. I’m not trying to be too bland but it was just too much. In the Mario Odyssey run there was a lot of crowd yelling too. However, if the runner allows it, and the organizers allow it, so be it. Certainly not enjoyable for me, though.
It made a great meme for charity!! People donated to keep the KABOOM hype going and i think that is really special. If they didnt keep reading them they wouldnt have raised nearly as much money. Do it to kill cancer man!
Enjoyed the run as always. Everyone did a great job from Linkus and Gymnast to Patty and KungFu. Most of the comments are just people complaining about the audience and the fun you guys had but don't let that sour your mood. Incredibly entertaining!
I've always wondered, how do runners and the audience stay in a hall for 3, 4, 5, even upwards of 6 hours straight and not get tired? People get hungry, need bathroom breaks, etc. What's probably worse are those red eye runs in the wee hours of the morning. Large empty hall, few attendees, just a guy marathoning an old game to few fanfare. GDQ is great, I appreciate the culture and fandom, but these long ass runs feel more like a work shift than anything.
Anybody else notice how incredibly nice the announcer is? She thanks everyone who's donation is announcer's choice! She's awesome EDIT: The first announcer, I just got far enough to see there's another one! The second one has an AMAZING voice though.

@@TheUltimateRare I mean if BotW being intentionally beatable in under an hour isn't proof that they love speedrunners, idk what is.
@@TheBrutalSax The Metroid franchise is proof that Nintendo loves speedrunners
They fixed it in Mario 64, but in Japan

@BrutalSax I wouldn't say that's a good quality for a speedrunning game
The audience dancing in time with the pauses is going to be the death of me.
At least around 26:00, they point with the Wind Waker songs, too.
*pausas
>:)
Brennan Moore oh god!
I usually skip Pausa so I am so goddamn glad you pointed that out so I could view them all slowly joining in until everyone was dancing, thank you
XD I just saw this lol.
Local village boy rapidly swims across oceans and saves the world in 6 hours.
Ryan Monaco And gets ALL the stuff
Sounds like Baywatch to me
Ryan Monaco technically it was 6 hours, 12 minutes and 57 seconds, but seeing as it was a 100% Run the details can be overlooked just a tad bit.
Local boy also manages to perform teleport, use pots to beat half a dungeon in pijamas and get a title of tresure hunter in 6 hours.
🤣
Link and linkus swimming in the seas P A U S I N G
My Dude, where's Makar?
@@monopolyrubix1875 bruuuuuuh you did noooooot
no makar there's floormasters there!
oh no he has airpods in he can't hear us
oh god
oh no
This is hands down, one of the funniest comments I’ve ever seen.
even five years later i still found this entertaining
i watched this live and the amount of "KABOOMS" and "SPLOOSHES" had the chat absolutely *writhing*
this vod is very hard to listen to
Gymnast has a super powerful aura the whole way through
He just sits there, all powerful like, he looks like a god
Why is this comment so good?? xD
Gymnast is a great Zelda runner and I agree that his aura is just a new power
linkus is always so much fun to watch at GDQ because he's so receptive to the audience and the donation readings. He's got a really fun personality and I love how well he explains what he's doing
Can you imagine laughing at Kaboom comments being made for two and a half hours?
This post was made by the Pausa meme gang.
Sploosh
It's been a few years, but I do really adore watching this speedrun every so often. It's one of my favourites. Thanks for having this up.
i watch these to sleep at night and i woke up randomly to "come on my dude. come get these swedish meatballs. i got them at ikea"
Linkus: very serious detailed explanations of the manual super swim glitch
Audience: *vibing*
I was genuinely cackling, this is so wholesome
Runner introduction starts at 0:09.
Run starts at 0:56.
Couch commentary is provided by Gymnast86.
Patty and KungfuFruitcup are the hosts.
Do we have sgdq 2019 schedule?
He screamed that he held the shield, is it true?
The ancient Deku tree addressing Link as "My Dude" is pretty funny. Great game, great runner, great video. Thanks for the upload!
Up there with the classic naming of Epona as "MyButt" in Twilight Princess
6 hours of Kaboom, orb and Sploosh with a zelda speedrun in the background
Me:"man that pause sound is probably annoying the crowd..."
:Checks crowd:
Crowd: *Bobbing heads side to side with the Pausa's.*
😄
Right? I looked up to see the crowd riding the wave and it was adorable.
any 3d Nintendo developer: * forgets to put backwards speed cap *
speed runners: (͡ ͡° ͜ つ ͡͡°)
Im always happy to watch Linkus7 Play, great runner. He has an amazing presence, I hope he goes far in his speedrunner Career
5:42:09 gotta love that little „call me“ signal from Linkus there. Even though his husband is sitting right there next to him ^^
1:44:30 2 ships are cuddling, the runner get cuddled, all the ships cuddle love is butiful
2:20:45 - guy on left finally changes positions
A rare sight to behold
Lmao
What a legend
He goes back for the previous position not much after.
lmao that's gymnast86
I usually look forward to long Zelda runs for sleeping. But... this one... is not good for sleeping.
Why is that.
KABOOOOM
Dave Starr what do u mean? KABOOOOOOOM
KA-BOOM!!!
any speedrun is good for sleeping you must not have mastered full tiredness and laziness yet. i've slept to an OOT tas plenty of times. most of the time being tired means i gotta search videos i wanna sleep to. it's a hard business trust me this video is just something you Save Starr couldn't sleep to. i have a playlist of speedruns that are basicly sleepbait for me in case i really need to snooze i'm all prepped up.
I recommend everyone to check out the wind waker run from 6 months ago, this dude is a treat to watch
I half expected Linkus to say at 3:37:41 "since I lost Makar, I'll have to take the bus"
These guys are godly, Linkus and Gym are the true GOATs of Zelda
Six hours is a lot, but to watch a Linkus GDQ run is worth it, he's great at explaining everything well.
Pausa v2.0
Bradley Skyrme 😥
1:44:42 Omg Gymnast86 cuddling Linkus7 on the couch for good luck is the best thing i have ever seen.
Also the crowd is the fucking best
3:12:11 if the KABOOMS get too soul crushing, skip here. It gets more bearable after this point
It is actually so annoying
You're a god damn hero
My head was going to explode, thank goodness it's over. Thank you!
The run itself is entertaining but all the donations are killing me.
I thought I could not get tired of that. I was wrong.
I just can't with the back couch. You people are too adorable reacting to literally everything! Makes the run a little better
Linkus being utterly confused at 3:10:54 is cracking me up. PRAISE THE SUN! 🙆
Damn that game hel;d wonderfully over the years. It still looks just as gorgeous as the year it released, thanks to the art style! It could release in 2020 with the same art, I wouldn't bat an eye!
Tbf this is the hd version but even the original is gorgeous too
Always super pleasant to have an announcer that has a ton of personality and a wonderful voice to keep the run consistently entertaining.
Do you ever just watch this again just because Linkus and Gymnast are commentating?
1:45:27 This GDQ was full of amazing impressions, but this one from the crowd is definitely my favorite.
3:13:36
Et tu, My Dude...
The cuddling actually helped lmao
this has some great "man comes to watch younger brother's game event" energy
My 2 favourite speedrunners cuddling pleases the RNG Gods.
This crowd is the best. Everyone dancing in rhythm with the pauses was the absolute best and had me in stitches. That plus everyone shouting "orb!", "sploosh", or "kaboom!" along with some praising the sun was hilarious. Great to have an engaged crowd.
4:00 love the crowd
I come back to this vid at least once a year
Me: *watching this a year and a half later*
Lunkus: *beasts sploosh kaboom*
Me: *still claps*
This crowd is amazing, dancing at pause, motioning the wind waker songs
Oh my gosh. I didn't know that barrier skip had been consistently found/proven yet. Holy crap. That blew my mind when he said he was going to do barrier skip.
Absolutely loved watching this run! Linkus7 is such a good entertainer and great runner!
i watched this live and now watching it on youtube, it is SO much better! Being able to skip the infinite amount of kabooms and orbs said makes it so much more enjoyable to watch!
Great run, great crowd, so much fun! Plus, the announcer is awesome, lovely voice and cool attitude.
Just watching the audience vibing in the back put a smile on my face.
6 hour speedrun, what a champ!
This remains my favorite Wind Waker run on AGDQ.
The comments from the donators were great, the audience was great, the announcer rolled with everything the donators and the audience did (which is great), the couch was awesome and Linkus is my favorite WW runner.
Great runner, couch support, and AMAZING announcer!
Shout out to the back up dancers during the super swim
I love how the audience casually dances to the rhythm of the pauses at the beginning
The audience participation on this is through the roof!
What an amazing run! Having so much fun watching it!
1:45:28 I love the "Sploosh" and "Kabooms" but the "Hooray Yay!" is funny too
4:34:16 Look up "SEAGULLS! (Stop it now)" to understand the reference to that persons name.
You guys won't regret it.
First time people clapped, now they've danced. I love the crowd during the "Pausa" moment, can't wait to see them again (and Linkus) in SGDQ!
Anybody here think Linkus and Gym look like theyre brothers or something?
Watching this live was great but you could see the pain in Linkus and Gym's eyes after an hour of repeating the same stale catchphrases.

The orb joke is not that funny, it might’ve been funny at the beginning but then the audience milked it to death.
Lol stfu
Watching the crowd dance for manual super swim buildup was the best part of this run
This game is so beautiful, thanks for the run
What an amazing game my dudes 9.7/10, superb job Linkus7 epic
So glad no one got tired of the sploosh kaboom orb donations and everyone loved them the whole time!
Right?
K J8011 No :(
@@ragepoweredgamer You are part of the problem
I liked orb but the others...
It's late night/early morning GDQ. They get loud to keep up the hype other wise everyone would fall asleep. Just because you don't like to have fun doesn't mean the rest of us don't.
I love all sorry not sorry
Patty + Zelda = good time
2:49:46 This is why I love Gym
Gymnast is pretty awesome.
Why does this help me fall asleep so well?
Ever notice how Wind Waker runs make them mad donations?
People tune into The Legend of Zelda. Also it is 6 hours
"I can not roll with a pig in my hand."
Didn't know Max (Gassy Mexican) watched speedruns. That's pretty cool.
This is an absolutely incredible run. Super interesting to watch, great explanations, great commentary, overall just a super pleasant experience. Thank you for showcasing this game and category!
Oh my freaking god the audience during the first super swim set-up. I never noticed that.
Even though it is a 100% run, nothing about the game is really spoiled
That’s where you’re wrong kiddo
it was a really great run and linkus was really entertaining :) thank you
they're getting tired of the kabooms two and a half hours in lol. You did this to yourselves.
I lost it at the “My Dude, where’s Makar?” comment. The pun game is strong with this run.
Legend Kaboom and the Pausa of Sploosh
Too much Kaboom. Really bothers me.
how much did you donate?
@@ragepoweredgamer An inside joke probably shouldn't be repeated hundreds of times over the course of 6 and a half hours.
3:33:00 You're welcome.
1:00:28 And that's all the permission the donators need...
Is no one gonna talk about the complete ear destruction at 1:27:04
I like to think that the Link from this game goes on to Phantom Hourglass and beats that 100% in like 6 hours too.
Link backing into a wall: "Alright you guys have a good one"
*Flings off through the water at mach 7*
I find it crazy that you go to one room before the final boss halfway through the run.
I tryed to watch it live, even donated what I could, but it was so late and I fell asleep. Gonna watch on youtube now :)
The swedish sniper is my favorite runner and zelda runs are so fun to watch
Tried listening to this overnight and my phone died midway and now we have the vod
6:32 to skip pause madness
I wish the donation reader wouldn’t read every single KABOOM donation. It got old pretty quick and feels super forced
It does, but you can say the same for HYPE

7.8/100 - Too much water.

Would be nice, but let's wait and see.
