Mate needs to check out 1.2 runs. They might not be quite as fast but we've pushed it far! P5 of course started running it and got the world record the other day, but Qentiko came and took it right back, pushing it more than a minute further! If only we had zuggle, then we'd frankly kick 1.0's buttocks!
@@Limcube I'm sure you'll love it! it's filled with (in my opinion) harder tricks and cool stuff. the only downside is very slow duping. anyways feel better soon!
As a musician with chronic wrist problems, I definitely understand the frustration of your own body nerfing you. Glad that you took the time to recover, and this was a super interesting dissection of the run!
Off topic but i wanted to thank you for the BOtW 100% run you did on your other channel in the lead up to ToTK's release. Last year was really bad for me and having a reliable 10 or 15 minutes a day to turn my brain off and just think about a game was immensely helpful. I know that wasn't your intention when making it but it really helped me and i wanted you to know that all the times you posted while sick or when you built up a stockpile before going out of town were really appreciated. It would have been perfectly okay if you had taken some breaks but it was also nice to know there would be a video every day.
You're the best man. Most really good players are not that entertaining, and most entertaining players aren't the most skilled. You really are the best of both worlds. I was wondering where you went. I'm glad your wrist is feeling better. Wrist pain sucks. Try keeping a clay cold pack (the gel ones don't work that well) in your freezer and use that after every session to reduce inflammation.
@Limcube No problem. Also I'm a huge shrine fan so I'm looking forward to your shrine videos! The one where you did the same shrine like 40 ways got me hooked on your videos
I love it when you do commentary. I really think it's a niche absolutely perfect for you. You have people who are great amazing players, you have people who do great commentary, rarely are the two united. Your expertise combined with your entertaining and insightful comments makes for a fantastic viewing experience. Great job! Can't wait to see you do runs again!
Sounds dumb, but I’m proud of you for taking the time to recover, and seeing it as even being something that could be used constructively. I know how hard it is to be competitive and deal with that drive to keep on forcing through, or coming back too early - and it’s always a trap. Can’t imagine how much harder that is with streaming/vid pressure on top. But this is how you keep your longevity in a sport/skill, and it’s great to see someone at such a level of performance modelling those good behaviours for their fellows and audience.
Funny, ever since TOTK came out, I didn't have too much a need to watch videos and theories about it, but have been lurking. Yet it was just 4 hours ago I was wondering where Limcube was, and why on Twitch I don't even see anything from him. Was going to check out the Discord server to see, but got caught up with other work-releated things. Then this video popped up!
I missed your streams and content while you were gone, I hope you had a nice break and are recovering well from your injury. Super fun to see your reactions to the current WR, look forward to see you getting back into totk stuff!
love to see the wing strat by zfg at the end fight, such an awesome run and what an amazing community to even find all these tricks in such a short amount of time
Although you didn't get the world record yourself, it is so cool to see the amount of movement and tech that you came up with used in the WR run. Good job LIm!
p5 at one point did try a run with the faster bomb jumps in ultra hand, coming out of ultrahand and flying to the temple, in the temple, going to recall and got a couple golds but it wasn't consistent for him so he switched back to the classic strats. that's why he says at the end of the run that some of the golds don't "count" towards his sum of best because he doesn't use the faster bomb strats in this run
Maybe unneeded advice - but as someone with long term wrist issues there are a bunch of specific wrist braces that should NOT be used without a dr advice on specific use times, because some wrist issues can be worsened by over using braces, using the wrong brace, etc etc. People tend to "fight" braces when they are using the hand and can't quite move normally, and that attempt to force more flex through the brace can cause inflammation and raise pressure in the joint. That said, the one brace type I can comfortably suggest to anyone (cool if you don't believe me, maybe ask a doc) is a sleep type brace. You are meant to wear them when not using hand at all, so that reduces that chance of joint damage. They are just really padded and come partway up the fingers to prevent one from sleeping with hand in a fist. Can be useful for anyone who over works their hands to force their hands to rest overnight. Whatever happen Lim, I hope you find a good pattern to how to manage the risks in your life without difficulty. Wrist and hand problems really suck the joy out of things until you find out what pattern of rest to activity your body can handle.
the man is back glad youre feeling better :) we are all looking forward to new uploads also edit: very cool that you found cool strats for gsi and contributed for routing :D
Something gamers and coders should be doing -- forearm exercises. What we're doing is physical, we should be going to the gym and getting buff -- muscles protect against strain injuries. I went from needing braces fairly constantly to never needing a brace again by taking the doctors advice. At the time I took up rock climbing. I had beastly forearms for a while there! I'm too old for that now but I still make a point of exercising those all-important arm muscles to reduce the odds of injury and to improve recovery times if I do get injured from doing 1000 too many rocket jumps.
I also fell out of watching P5's progress for a few weeks. There's a little bit of fomo but honestly it was satisfying to see these tremendous leaps in tech.
I've been watching P5 and can confirm, he has to reset on the regular if he doesn't get the first out-of-bounds skip, and he also put a *lot* of time into learning cogskip
There would actually be two ways to still skip the intro cutscene, and they have been brought up on Discord as a possibility. The first is to use a modification that skips that specific cutscene. That has been coded up and tested, it's the slower of the two methods in terms of real time. The second is to say "Not yet" right before encountering Ganon, then reload the GSI save file. That has also been tested and it's the faster method in terms of real time, but it wouldn't be allowed for categories that use dragons
Fun to watch someone react to this, now I wanna see another one of these down the road. And maybe keep in mind the amount of humble bragging you do for things you discovered and “blaming” others for their discoveries like ZFG instead of hyping them up; it can come off a bit bad 😅 On that note, you should totally make a “speedrunner reacts to ToTK glitches” video, since not all speedrunning tricks always end up being part of a run, or aren’t in a run yet because they are new or too difficult to make,
I hurt my wrist last year and didn't take a break right away. It took like 6 months with physical therapy to improve. Best advice is even if you're on pb pace, if your hand is saying No respect it and put the controller down.
The weird jump slash thing you said you saw is the movement in the 1.2.0 speedrun belasically they use the arrow smuggle method that's only in 1.2.0 to do the infinate jump and because they are out of stamina they don't go I to bullet time
i wish i could lower my game version to speedrun as ive always been pretty interested in doing so. i heard i can reset my switch to play it on 1.0.0 but ive also heard there are alot of performance issues and crashes so idk if its worth it . if anyone knows of a way to lower game version (without a modded switch) it would be greatly appreciated
People are now considering to allow rapidfire at like 5-8 hertz for the longer categories so people like you don't quit from hand issues anymore. I imagine they'll probably vote on it at some point
Someone should mod botw and totk to enable leaving the gp and gsi early. Obviously not a main leaderboard speed run but for a mod category that would be pog
This unskippable cutscene is the antithesis of Botw. Hopefully nintendo makes it skipable. Only problem is some switches might load into gameplay alot slower than others.

YES!! you should check out the new fuse route, idk if it's public but it will blow your mind with quick smuggling.
it's by mozz btw
31:30 it's this!!!
1.2 has crazy potential
Ye i like it much more than 1.1
Glad to see you're back!! As a 1.2 runner, totk speedruns have gotten so much cooler
Ive heard lots of good things about 1.2, need to check it out
@@Limcube I'm sure you'll love it! it's filled with (in my opinion) harder tricks and cool stuff. the only downside is very slow duping. anyways feel better soon!
@@Limcubeyou should make a video reacting to 1.2 runs!

As a musician with chronic wrist problems, I definitely understand the frustration of your own body nerfing you. Glad that you took the time to recover, and this was a super interesting dissection of the run!
P5 is mental. I have subscribed to like 150 channels and I feel like 50% of the videos are from Player 5 with a new World record
glad you took some time to recover and are feeling better!

@Limcube No problem. Also I'm a huge shrine fan so I'm looking forward to your shrine videos!
The one where you did the same shrine like 40 ways got me hooked on your videos
The jumpslash technique is called arrow flight, it is possible on all versions but most useful in 1.20 because of quick smuggle

its a mix of quick smuggling, and arrow flight. 1.2.0 exclusive :) 31:41

Something that helps me with stalagmites, stalactites hold on *tight* to the roof
Im sure someone else already said it, but it can help

31:38 it's a 1.2 exclusive trick called "quick smuggle", conveniently enough P5 uses it in his 1.2 world record video
Not world record anymore. :P Qentiko's beat it twice already.
Can we just take a second to appreciate that beautiful telecaster in the background!!!
Always good to see you dude, im glad your doing better and thanks for the awesome content!
Glad you’re back Lim! Missed your content.
glad i see you back lim
Glad you’re back 😊
I haven't watched a Speedrun either since you were last doing attempts so this should be interesting
Speedruns are crazy now, don't hurt your hand again.
Love your videos! I'm happy to see you back :)

Best advice is even if you're on pb pace, if your hand is saying No respect it and put the controller down.
Honestly I would advise using the four minute unskippable cutscene to do something like physical therapy stretches
Though I watch all P5 yt speedrun videos, I loved your analysis..
So by Combing Royal Halberd and the Black Boss Bokoblin Horn it allows you to Flurry Rush the Demon King in one Flurry Rush?? is that correct?
I haven't seen a run in a while either, so that intro skip caught me so off guard lol
We’re back to commentary! Loved it!
Miss ya bud. You’re great.
When you said am I really the world record holder I laughed SO LOUD in my car.
I completed all the main quests, all shrines last night. Time to cozy up to some speed run vids.
The weird jump slash thing you said you saw is the movement in the 1.2.0 speedrun belasically they use the arrow smuggle method that's only in 1.2.0 to do the infinate jump and because they are out of stamina they don't go I to bullet time
I was wondering where you went glad you were able to recover
The arrow smuggle you were talking about is only in 1.2, still not faster due to dupes and other glitches in previous patches
Linkus did a nice breakdown of the current speedrun, you should check it out as well
The Arrow Smuggle is used on the Latest Patch I believe
31:51
Pretty sure it’s used in any percent for later versions of the game
Is the opening music with Limcube talking from Pat Metheny??
Me looking at the time before clicking on the video: "WHAT?"
you're the godfather of botw speedruns
I was also away for a month so this is perfect for me
I've seen someone ragdoll from one eye to the next on accident, not sure if it's feasible to do in a run.
LIMCUBE!!! Map your B button to the Left Stick click. It'll be like pressing run in CoD.
Shout out to that air purifier. I have the same one and it rules.
Facts
You're like a super enthusiastic sports commentator 😂
pull out a lefty every so often to avoid issue, had similar issue with too much pocketrockets 👌
Smug little speedrunner man 35:50
Glad you recovered quickly
i wish i could lower my game version to speedrun as ive always been pretty interested in doing so. i heard i can reset my switch to play it on 1.0.0 but ive also heard there are alot of performance issues and crashes so idk if its worth it . if anyone knows of a way to lower game version (without a modded switch) it would be greatly appreciated
Are you from Germany? Because IT Sounds like you are
I bought a controller with a turbo button that acts like button mashing by holding B. It helped my hang injury :)
I cant wait to see terminal montages video of this 😂
Why dont people start on a save after the opening cutscene
even just watching this guy run is making my hands hurt lol
Had to stop at 36 minutes in since I haven't beaten the game yet. Hope to be back soon!
should loading time been added to the run tho?? that -14sec r there
I'd be really interested in seeing a glitchless speedrun of Totk
This reminds me of when crow speed ran calculator lol
Get better soon lim, sorry you hurt your hand
31:15 that is only used in 1.1.2, and 1.2.0. it might look faster but it is not.
mans turned into Link w/ his right arm/hand 😂
my switch forced me to update it, i closed the game and it started updating and i didnt have the reflexes to turn off my internet :(
try timing instead of mashing your B presses with rocketboard. in case you didnt know, you can hold A and ZL while only having to tap B
i did know that but it mostly the mix of repetetive presses and clawgrip
@@Limcube if claw grip is a problem, try using your thumb to press A and B at the same time
People are now considering to allow rapidfire at like 5-8 hertz for the longer categories so people like you don't quit from hand issues anymore. I imagine they'll probably vote on it at some point
I like your shirt :) glad you’re back
I wish player 5 would do speedrun explained videos
So I guess Speedrunning is a dangerous business!
Someone should mod botw and totk to enable leaving the gp and gsi early. Obviously not a main leaderboard speed run but for a mod category that would be pog
8:55 Yeah, if you hurt your hand playing this game, you should get Rauru's hand! Why didn't you?? ;-)
in 1.2 the clip doesn't work in the intro if you didn't know yet.
I hate seeing 1.0 runs. I feel so gated seeing WRs on versions that I literally couldn't try if I wanted to.
There's a board for current patch runs, and right now it's only about 4 minutes slower
What model is that Squier behind you?
Affinity Series Telecaster MN Arctic White
Game wont be optimized until you go straight from max hp starting link to stabbing ganon to death in 2s
PLayer 5 already did a Speed run for 1.2.0... Hope you can react and do some tutorials for the glitches on that version. Thanks :)
The man is back :D
I thought they'd learn from BotW and put a death barrier between the map and the underground 😆
why dont they make a intro category and whatever your pb is, is what your timer starts at :p
I haven't been able to play that much TotK since I broke my wrist... D:
that's funny cause I was away for a month
Player 5!!
This unskippable cutscene is the antithesis of Botw. Hopefully nintendo makes it skipable. Only problem is some switches might load into gameplay alot slower than others.
Perfect video 🎉🎉
thats insane man
