Hope your OK your voice sounds lil scratchier then normal (and I'm so happy to see it was done I love wind waker and even considered learning the speed run)
Imagine this… It’s autumn of 2002, you get invited by the devs making Wind Waker to test the final build before release, they give you a controller and leave you for 44 minutes. When they come back they expect you to maybe sailing off on the boat from Outset island where they would offer some advice as to what to do… but instead see you sticking the master Sword into Ganondorf’s forehead and end credits start to roll. You drop the controller, refuse to elaborate, thank them and leave.
Imagine that afterwards they were able to see the CCTV of the room. They can see the screen, but not his control inputs. Then they just see him doing the weirdest stuff like walking through the barrier and literally hovering up from the ground. And they wouldn't know how it was performed. Obviously, by now you're already gone. A ghost of game testing only summoned by overconfidence. See ya later, space cowboy.
@@paulelderson934 Even better, in the middle of the longest zombie hover in the game, you just ask a fellow tester to do inputs on the gba. they pick it up and see a shop and a black map screen while you are just mashing the hell out of the A button
Linkus has a superpower for making me so incredibly invested in this speedrunning community Everytime he uploads. These are such cool games and it's been crazy to see them evolve over the years
I remember growing up watching every new discovery happen, keeping up with you and gymnast, the story of this game is so surreal, I'm so happy that we still talk about one of my favorite games as if it had just came out, Wind Waker's story is never over
Hey linkus7! When I was learning to run WWHD back in 2017, you were they guy i watched for tutorials. You were also the guy who raided me just before i got affiliate on twitch back in 2018. I never was able to beat your times, but i had a blast running this game and the amazing journey that speedrunning brought me on. I met so many people and had so many good memories from streaming. Thank you for continuing to be committed to amazing quality content as the video was very well done. Keep it up!
I love this style of video! There’s something uniquely inspiring about speedrunning. It’s like watching an Olympic world record- something impressive that takes a ton of practice. It feels very human to push a number smaller and smaller, just to see how optimized it can become. To make the impossible possible. And the community aspect of it the video mentioned is great: people working together, more than just competing for the lowest times, out of love for a game.
what is great isn't just people coming around to help each other, it's playing on your favorite hardware and version, knowing the game so well, and having played it so show the world and make the records. its all of this making what people would call a useless skill and making history by training, bonding with people, and beating the hardest challenge and improving years later, even as a casual doing randomizer and more, its fun to break the limits to test how much you know your favorite games
legendary video, I'm freaking compelled. I might actually start doing ww speedruns with my emulator now! Edit: I just checked the speedrun rules, but ill probably be really bad so I won't be needing to buy a console to speedrun any time soon.
I loved this style! I personally love when you do a deep dive of an entire speedrun, they're so enjoyable to watch and learn, but it's also really cool to see a deep dive of the history of speedrunning and where it stands today. Thank you for your passion in these videos I enjoyed this style of upload :)
This story reminds me of the actual story in Wind Waker. Gamecube Windwaker, like Link in that game, has no special powers, and yet, by sheer will, overcame every challenge it was presented with.
Speedrunning is fascinating, I've become obsessed with "history of" videos over the past few years, and I'm always interested to learn new things, especially about Wind Waker. GameCube supremacy!
What l love about this speedrun is that it's not only all the players competing individually, but it's actually one version of the game against the other, with players choosing a side and committing to it. Team Work.. (even if the guy at 8:46 is kindda cringe)
Hey Linkus, just found your channel and I'm digging the vibe. Thanks for doing all the work of translating your streams to easily-digestible youtube content. Just subbed over on twitch! Keep up the good work!
I haven't done any speed runs in a long time since my daughter Zelda was born and I have my own legend now. LMFAO I love to see all the updates people are finding in these runs still to this day.
On the other hand, Wind Waker HD 100% has the Gamecube WW 100% beat by over an hour. The quality of life improvements make a huge difference when you have to collect everything. Also, the Japanese Triforce quest sounds funny... the first time you do it. I can imagine it detracts from replayability, though. It reminds me of the cringeworthily tedious General White quest from Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door.
Great video as always, Linkus! Thank you for documenting such monumental feats in the speedrun community! However, i’m sure no one would mine at all if you take a break from recording, your vocal enthusiasm towards these topics is very important and you should rest your voice. Dont feel pressured to upload when you need time to recover!
I see so many wind waker speedrun titles that are like "THIS NEW GLITCH IS INSANE" and i avoid them like the plague because it never actually tells me anything about what the video is but this is the first video title i saw that actually said what the video will be about so i clicked
8:45 If you go to the city library and search for an English-Latin vocabulary, there's a paragraph under "virgo intacta" which has a link at the end of it as an example and it's this guy talking.
Shame that Wind Waker HD actually did have storage and such in the demo before launch but then was removed from the final game. Supposedly these demoes were all observed by Nintendo reps and there used to be a video here on YT of a guy showing a rep how to do storage in the demo. People believe those kinds of actions lead to them being patched.

Enjoy the video, let me know what you think about this format and if there is any other topics/speedruns you would like me to cover next ^^
I’m sorry to say this, but I’m excited for summoning salt to make a video on this topic
Is your voice okay, man?
Just one question teach: can HD do the barrier skip with just a sword?
Hope your OK your voice sounds lil scratchier then normal (and I'm so happy to see it was done I love wind waker and even considered learning the speed run)

”You’ve met with a terrible fate, haven’t you”
wish i could timetravel just to do stuff like this xD

See ya later, space cowboy.
Technically you would also need the tingle turner as well, so you would drop a GB Advance and the controller ;)

It's pretty cool how both versions have completely different glitches and routes yet end up beating the game in almost the exact same amount of time.
Would be interesting to see a race of both versions side by side
Downright poetic
Wind waker really looked at itself and was like, "Our battle with be legendary!!"
Linkus has a superpower for making me so incredibly invested in this speedrunning community Everytime he uploads. These are such cool games and it's been crazy to see them evolve over the years
Glaze him nga
@ThatOneCodGuy I will do just that, thank you
@nebula8893 you're so skibbidi
Same and I’ve never even played the game 😂
The one piece the one piece is real
I would watch an 8-hour video of every change in Wind Waker Any% in the past 11 years tho.
Summoning Salt + Linkus7 is the collab we need
I just got here from a 2.5 hour Bismuth video about goombas in SM64. I have to agree xD
@@jonathanrikkers793 I think you mean Pannenkoek
Same, sounds like my shit.
I remember growing up watching every new discovery happen, keeping up with you and gymnast, the story of this game is so surreal, I'm so happy that we still talk about one of my favorite games as if it had just came out, Wind Waker's story is never over
It's extremely interesting how 2 completely different versions with completely different glitches ended up having speedruns so neck and neck
That high pitched unintimidating voice yelling "who do you think you are?" Made me laugh way harder than i should have😂

I love how much Linkus gestures when he explains something without a controller in his hands.

This will make a great summoning salt video one day
2:38 It would take hours? lets goooooooo.
"but i wont do that"
noooooooooooo!!!!!
I think it's refreshing that in the era of video essays, some people still respect the viewers' time.
I love this Original vs HD Speed run battle :D
legendary video, I'm freaking compelled. I might actually start doing ww speedruns with my emulator now! Edit: I just checked the speedrun rules, but ill probably be really bad so I won't be needing to buy a console to speedrun any time soon.
yeah that's kinda the thing with speedrunning--the rules only really exist so leaderboards can exist, you can do whatever you want outside that
I don’t see why you can’t practice the tricks using an emulator before buying a console
@@data_expunged97 It would even cut down time on practicing certain tricks because you can use save states before performing them.
love these speedrun history, speedrun stories or "lore" of speedruns - awesome :D
I love seeing people play windwaker, it was my first video game and it’s so special to me :)
I loved this style!

Love this style of video man, great video! But I really do love the long form videos too :)
Summoning Salt needs to make a Wind Waker history video the game deserves it
Great vid! I love when speedrunners talk about the community and the story arround it. It's very wholesome
Speedrunning is fascinating, I've become obsessed with "history of" videos over the past few years, and I'm always interested to learn new things, especially about Wind Waker. GameCube supremacy!
LOVE the style, please do more stuff like this. I love learning about the history behind speedruns like this.
This format is awesome Linkus!
You're an amazing story teller 😊
Video style is great your comentary has really imrpoved recently cant wait to see where it goes from here.
Man, Wind Waker has always held a special place in my heart.
I love watching these speedrun explanations thanks for putting this video together linkus!
What l love about this speedrun is that it's not only all the players competing individually, but it's actually one version of the game against the other, with players choosing a side and committing to it. Team Work.. (even if the guy at 8:46 is kindda cringe)
Kinda? Kinda? The dude took a nations supply of cringe and mixed it with meth.
Love these recent videos. Keep up the great work!
Awesome overview and I like the video style for sure ^^
Hey Linkus, just found your channel and I'm digging the vibe. Thanks for doing all the work of translating your streams to easily-digestible youtube content. Just subbed over on twitch! Keep up the good work!

Great video Linkus! It's awesome that you got Wind Waker SD into AGDQ! I'm excited to get to meet you!

I enjoyed the new style! Thank you Linkus.
Another Linkus banger! Keep em comin!
Dude just give your throat a rest already. I respect the commitment, but your voice is likely your main tool of the trade, along with your hands.
True hope he gets better
He sounds worse than rfk jr
Pause
2:44 pretty wild to think it's been about as long since WWHD came out until now as it was between the release dates of WW original and HD 😵💫
i NEED this game on the switch I absolutely LOVE the wind waker it's my absolute favorite zelda
0:59 .... STRAGETIES??
What a tragedy
@@chaaaake*tradegy😂
This means "to spill your spaghetti"
The amount of breaks WW has gone through boggles the mind
Wind Waker is the game that keeps on giving
Love the content, Great work!!!
i would absolutly love more videos likw that, this was hella interesting!
Good job m8! Bra jobbat! :) Keep up the great work.
Nice video format!
sick vids man keep it up
I'd love to see an Aloakirby vs Mralberto GC vs HD race at a GDQ at some point.
Nice video Linkus, love the style!
Linkus, has unlocked master hyrule knight skill level XD
I liked the new style brother but I do think your videos are just good in general 👍
Always nice to see some french top runners lol
I see so many wind waker speedrun titles that are like "THIS NEW GLITCH IS INSANE" and i avoid them like the plague because it never actually tells me anything about what the video is but this is the first video title i saw that actually said what the video will be about so i clicked
Wind Waker stay timeless
Babe wake up, New Linkus7 video just dropped.
8:45
If you go to the city library and search for an English-Latin vocabulary, there's a paragraph under "virgo intacta" which has a link at the end of it as an example and it's this guy talking.
I love your videos linkus
Imagine this cover drops and in the next week a new discovery for hd is found that lowers it another few minutes
NEW LINKUS VIDEO LETSGOOOOOOOOOO
Ahh this makes me emotional. All the big skips, side by side.....
we're getting closer and closer to the Theory TAS I watched few years ago
Imagine GC finds a way to skip the intro
Wind waker will forever be my favourite game!
Feels like Linkus made an effort to speak more slowly. As a fast talker myself, I feel the pain of people not understanding 😂
This is going to be a great SummoningSalt video someday.
I appreciate Mr Alberto.
One of your better styles of video.
speedrunning history lesson with linkus :D
My goat
Loved the video.
You sound a little sick Linkus. If you are, I hope you get better soon!
Damn this is really good content
this was great!
Good run...Just like Toyota's Kaizen philosophy...or Lexus motto, The relentless pursuit of perfection.
Babe wake up, new linkus upload
How original...
Would absolutely watch the whole video of the speedrun changes for GC and HD xd
PANR has tuned in.
MrAlberto got that pazazz
linkus is sick, get better soon fella
Okay, now I want to see an SD vs HD race at AGDQ.
The GODcube dabs on Pii U once again.
Ganondorf:
wind waker link:
Im gonna finish this mans whole career!
Love all vids hallo from germany
I almost feel bad for Ganondorf for losing so many times, so fast.
8:45 this is a legendary pop-off lmaooo
Which of the two wind wakers do you prefer?
Guys if yall donr know linkus7's birthday is the 30th this month have fun with the info
Shame that Wind Waker HD actually did have storage and such in the demo before launch but then was removed from the final game. Supposedly these demoes were all observed by Nintendo reps and there used to be a video here on YT of a guy showing a rep how to do storage in the demo. People believe those kinds of actions lead to them being patched.
Nice video
YEAHHHHHHHH THAT'S A FRENCH YTB THAT DID IT WOOOOHOOOOOOO
get well soon lonkus

First time I’ve come across a link us video so early
Wait a minute! You're a speedrunner? I had no idea😅
