29:08 - only 1 failed Sploosh Kaboom (with 2 sub 20's Pog) 53:40 - first try swift sail 2:15:50 - almost perfect Helmaroc King 3:59:36 - first try auction item 2 4:04:36 - first try auction items 3 & 4 THE. GOD. RUN.
@Kendrik Merek he needs the swift sail and doesnt have money for 2 items, so he has to reload the whole auction to reset until he gets the swift sail, its a 20% chance, and costs ~40 seconds if the wrong item appears.
The thing I like the most about this amazing run beside the game play, is your willingness to talk to your chat and respond to questions. There are some current WR runners of BotW that become, as they says "snarky" (aka rude) about answering any questions or talking to chat. You have been running Zelda games for so long and still take the time to explain strats that are as old as the original Wind Waker. While other runners get very nasty when asked questions about brand new strats, the runner scolding you for asking in the first place. Thanks for keeping it real all this time and being a person.
Some speed runners are best enjoyed on mute. Sometimes I watch these 100 runners and wonder why they don’t just ignore the chat instead of shitting all over people for asking valid questions.
Now, I’d never watched a Linkus video before I’d heard of this one, but it’s actually remarkable how well this guy can pull off these insane tricks while also being able to maintain a light and humorous attitude. He just seems so god-damned friendly and welcoming.
This was incredible to watch live. Never seen a chat so hyped while the broadcast was down. Never seen someone play so well for so long. Congrats again Linkus, you deserved this run!
That rude swedish guy at 2:08:00 was wrong, your streams are entertaining as hell and a nice way to relax after a long day. Keep up the good work dude and don't listen to the scrubs!
your emotions at the end mixed with the music legit made me cry for you XD congratulations man! you deserve this! you are the legend of the legend of zelda!
I've been binge watching your speedruns for the past couple of days and usually use them as a background noise while drawing but your emotional reaction forced me to stop for a moment because it really touched me. I know it's been a year already but I'm so happy for you! You really deserve that world record.
I love how both cheese and linkus have really ironic things in their wr runs, like they say "Just gotta try an infinite amount of times" and get wr ON THAT RUN. Watching this as a youtube video is situational irony at its best. It warms my heart
I love how the ending and the credits have so much more impact when you have witnessed everything in this run leading up to them. I felt like I have accomplished something and I wasnt even there on the original stream ffs xD
You ever just DECIMATE a category? What can i even say? Congratulations? Great run? No. This was THE run. Couldn’t have happened to a more deserving person
The MVP in the whole Stream and run is without a doubt Linkus Dad the run was still going around Midnight to 2-3 am and his Dad ran around the House/Building to fix the problem. while still been disconnected Linkus wrote Ned what he is doing in the run while being offlline and Ned told us in the chat then whats happening. Really an awesome and emotional WR run
Absolutely incredible! That was the most intense speedrun I've ever seen. I was a complete wreck by the end. Congratulations! So satisfying to see such a monumental effort pay off.
Said this before, but you look like my brother. Your reaction at the end.... you're gunna' get ME crying now Lol. I've got a lot of love for you man. Congratulations on this epic win. You deserve every last bit of it.
Congrats on the WR Linkus! I'm kinda pissed though, I was halfway done with watching your last PB, started yesterday, guess I gotta start a new watching session. But for real, congratulations, I can't even imagine how much grinding and hard work this took.
It took me three days, but I finally watched the whole run. By the end, I was tense and on the edge of my seat, and when you beat the game I was crying with you. This run will go down in history, Linkus, you're amazing!
Gonna comment now, with my like 40th time watching, but Idk what it is about your voice but it helps me sleep. Thanks for always being here and being a totally amazing person.
we can finally see what happened when the internet dropped out xD Thanks again to Papa Linkus for saving the day^^ and congrats on this legendary run, it was so intense to watch
Man great video! You've got some real talent and your understanding of this game is absolutely amazing. I really enjoyed watching and learning how your strategies worked for each part you played. Keep it up, I'll continue to watch future runs!
In the last half an hour I was concerned he'd just collapse from all the excitement. Literally noone is gonna break this record unless there's some kind of discovery that makes it possible. Mad respect Linkus, you deserve that
NOOO I MISSED IT! IM SO SORRY LINKUS I WISH I WAS HERE TO WATCH I GOT THE NOTIFICATION AND EVERYTHING BUT IM AT WORK AND IM SO HEARTBROKEN YET EXCITES CONGRATS!
I was watching the run for so long wondering why he was waiting so long to get the sword. And then he got it at the forsaken fortress and I laughed out loud.
I know we should never assume that a record can't be broken but I genuinely do not see this run getting beaten any time soon. And whenever it does, it won't be for a very long time. Congratulations on being the fastest person in the world to complete Wind Waker HD.
Still love watching this run and I owe ezscape for that you can truly feel the passion and nervousness towards the end of the run and to see it from start to end is a awesome viewing experience
Screw GDQ with their pandering to SJW values. I know speedrunners still support it because it is for a good cause, but honestly they should all take a page out of GrandPooBear's book and start their own speedrunning events where they can feel free to be themselves and choose what they want to run.
@@QuickStick0 people don't have an issue with charity, they have an issue with the event organizers at GDQ for banning runners and other individuals for completely arbitrary and BS reasons that pander to the SJW types.
4:58:45 Wouldn't it potentially be much much faster to pull out a bomb right after you light the two torches and throw it at the Keese so you can take out all of them in one swoop?? Also at 4:49:51, I've never seen that clip before where you end up resurfacing inside the pool. I wonder how precise and fast/slow you have to be moving to pull that off consistently and if it's worth going for it in future runs, cause, if you end of failing it and losing your speed, it'd definitely be a decent time loss. Man, makes me excited what other glitches and time saves can be found....but with how high this run set the bar, I'd say it'll be quite a while before any solid new strats can come close to catching up to this time. Amazing job Linkus
The only thing why this run was so good is not just the skills with movement and glitches, but also the rng was on Linkus side, good run Linkus. This run won’t be beaten for a long time until you obsolete the luck factor in this game. Especially the Sploosh Kaboom game.
Imagine being a moblin or a darknut in Hyrule Castle and watching this little twunk sliding around with a grappling hook, tricking you into smacking your buddies out of his way with his blinding, instant movements.
Man, can we just appreciate the game's graphics for a second? I've been watching this video on 360p, and the gameplay screen still looks crisp as heck, compared to the grainy look of the overlay and Linkus' face.
The movie "2012" actually just played on pre-existing hysteria about the end of the world. I think it really all began when the History Channel in the US did a segment on one of their docu-series about the Mayan Calendar ending in 2012, along with other predictions like ones from Nostradamus adding to that idea.
29:08 - only 1 failed Sploosh Kaboom (with 2 sub 20's Pog)
53:40 - first try swift sail
2:15:50 - almost perfect Helmaroc King
3:59:36 - first try auction item 2
4:04:36 - first try auction items 3 & 4
THE. GOD. RUN.
Maximum Leech i hope this gets pinned cause I was wondering what made the run so lucky
@Kendrik Merek It's not about the challenge, but the RNG that they appear asap.
@Kendrik Merek he needs the swift sail and doesnt have money for 2 items, so he has to reload the whole auction to reset until he gets the swift sail, its a 20% chance, and costs ~40 seconds if the wrong item appears.
Thank you for that summarize of the important moments in the run !
SPOILER, DUDE
This man has an 11 minute 9 second lead over 2nd place in 100%. Fatality.
@@Anonymous-mj7hb i hope i didn't get wooshed, but i think what he was going for was linkus being a god
Jill Fizzard oh yeah om deleting the comment and linkus is my fav streamer
Reverse the numbers...
TWIN FATALITY!!!

Shout out to Specs
Some speed runners are best enjoyed on mute. Sometimes I watch these 100 runners and wonder why they don’t just ignore the chat instead of shitting all over people for asking valid questions.
I have to agree, Linkus is not only one of the best runners, he's also a top tier Streamer
shout out to player 5
Anti shoutout to gymnast86. He’s one of those speedrunners that will belittle chat for asking questions.
The real hero was that poor A button and all the abuse he endure.
My exact thought hearing him mash lol
He Saved like 30% just by the pause and the hook
Can we get a rip in the chat for the A Button?
Press F for respect
*F*
And the start button at the beginning poor thing got spammed at least 200 times in 2 minutes
Martin Graham is

Shakes in sync with Ganon lmao
Ya boi spamming tears as much as that A Button

Couldn't picture this until around the 5-hour mark when his voice was shaking and he was already trying not to cry.
I don't think this record will be broken any time soon. Congratulations, you can rest now.
Endgame reference?
There would need to be a new trick or a new route (the later being VERY unlikely) that saves a couple minutes at least.
he wont
Don't even joke
well unless we discover something new
A little something for the crazy dedication and being such an entertaining speedrunner ! Keep going Linkus, big hugs from France
At first I was like, "5 hours? that's 4 hours over the world record!" and then I saw that it's 100% and I was like O_O
That rude swedish guy at 2:08:00 was wrong, your streams are entertaining as hell and a nice way to relax after a long day. Keep up the good work dude and don't listen to the scrubs!
He wasnt wrong he just was stating his own opinion
His opinion was wrong.
It's most likely just a troll who is fishing for a reaction
your emotions at the end mixed with the music legit made me cry for you XD congratulations man! you deserve this! you are the legend of the legend of zelda!
Linkus can now sail off into the west with Gandalf and the others. He did it.
1:15 "How is RNG treating you today?"
Uh... pretty good actually...
Followed by a beautiful motivational quote by Linkus.
I've been binge watching your speedruns for the past couple of days and usually use them as a background noise while drawing but your emotional reaction forced me to stop for a moment because it really touched me.

I've been waiting for some Wind Waker Content! And it's a new world record? Amazing. Can't wait to check it out, and obviously congratulations!!!
I love how the ending and the credits have so much more impact when you have witnessed everything in this run leading up to them. I felt like I have accomplished something and I wasnt even there on the original stream ffs xD
You ever just DECIMATE a category? What can i even say? Congratulations? Great run? No.
This was THE run. Couldn’t have happened to a more deserving person
Had to come here after the Scott falco animation to grasp what I was fully looking at lol
then watch any %
Marcus B what?
Marcus B he didn’t do anything wrong you idiot
@Marcus B he just said "same" lol
@Marcus B ohh mind me i see it now. He added an unexpected "OOF". That can really traumatize an individual.
Congratulations dude! I've seen how long you've been grinding this run and it's so heartwarming to see it pay off. Absolutely amazing run.

Almost following for 3 months now and absolutely love watching you run one of my favorite games. Well done dude. Good luck with Any%

I need to watch this whole run. Wonderful job!
2:16:15 "[Helmaroc] can do two things: Peck me, stomp on me, or blow me away." Hmm....
Lol
Congrats on the WR Linkus! I'm kinda pissed though, I was halfway done with watching your last PB, started yesterday, guess I gotta start a new watching session.

Also, HUGE thanks to Papa Linkus. What a hero!
This was incredible. The chances of this kind of run is unbelievable and I’m super happy for u man. Good job 👍
Your reaction in the end is priceless❣️❣️ I’m so proud of you!!!!!
I came from ezscapes channel. Nice work!
Gonna comment now, with my like 40th time watching, but Idk what it is about your voice but it helps me sleep. Thanks for always being here and being a totally amazing person.
I love that insanely angry and determined look on links face when super swimming makes it look like he's actually just that powerful a swimmer
Congrats man! You did a great job and totally deserve the luck you had in this run in my opinion.
The ending reaction is amazing. What a talented runner, I know not everyone is capable of such grinding!
@StormRevolution Gaming Totally. Also lol, I don't even remember this comment. It's been so long. :D
Great stuff. So interesting to see how you handled your nerves. Huge GG. Also the EZscape commentary you did was super good
One of the most awesome categories in any speed run, and you played it beautifully. Great job and congrats! :D
Congrats man :D i really hope you keep this World Record forever ;D So much fun watching your speedruns :D Much love from Norway
linkus dude what the hell, that was AMAZING! and so emotional in the end, i really felt your shaking and all, simply awesome
What a beautiful speedrun an amazing performance from Linkus and an amazing RNG GG !
we can finally see what happened when the internet dropped out xD Thanks again to Papa Linkus for saving the day^^ and congrats on this legendary run, it was so intense to watch
Man great video! You've got some real talent and your understanding of this game is absolutely amazing. I really enjoyed watching and learning how your strategies worked for each part you played. Keep it up, I'll continue to watch future runs!
28:30 you don’t know how much I agree to that!
That sound of a controller getting 10 years of deterioration in 1 run lols some mad finger speed
Watched live, was part of the hype while stream was down. Most exciting thing to see and feel EVER! Congratulations my dude!
In the last half an hour I was concerned he'd just collapse from all the excitement. Literally noone is gonna break this record unless there's some kind of discovery that makes it possible.
Mad respect Linkus, you deserve that
This is truly impressive man, huge congratulations!!!!
Probably my new favorite streamer. Keep it up Linkus! You're inspiring me to get back into the scene, once I get a computer and workstation secured :)
i deeply bow my head to this big time display of skill (and good rng ^^) of yours linkus! glad to see all the grinding has paid off!
Dad was super supportive! Love to see it
Worth the near 6 hour watch. Truly magical, great job
it’s so weird seeing link with the master sword and no shield
It's almost like Arin is playing
Freaking deserved
Good job Linkus. Finally you got it!!
Can we get a Hype in here?!!
FCK YEAAAAHHHH
NOOO I MISSED IT! IM SO SORRY LINKUS I WISH I WAS HERE TO WATCH I GOT THE NOTIFICATION AND EVERYTHING BUT IM AT WORK AND IM SO HEARTBROKEN YET EXCITES CONGRATS!
It's so fun watching him get progressively more and more excited
I was watching the run for so long wondering why he was waiting so long to get the sword. And then he got it at the forsaken fortress and I laughed out loud.
Great run! Did you take pappaLinkus out to dinner?
EDIT: 5:39:26 I was here
ive watched/listened to probably all of linkus's full 100% streams around 12 times. Hes great.
I know we should never assume that a record can't be broken but I genuinely do not see this run getting beaten any time soon.
And whenever it does, it won't be for a very long time. Congratulations on being the fastest person in the world to complete Wind Waker HD.
So Zfg1 is the 100% oot god
and Linkus the 100% ww god?
That's 100% correct
gymnast86 is also god tier ww runner
And MajinPhil as the 100% MM god.
And you are the 100% correct god
@@Caddynars Ennop112 has the record by like 7 minutes over him doesn't he? That would make him the God
Watching this live broke my soul you are tier one HNGGG huge congrats xo
Holy shit 5:14:52 look at linkus's hands. They are shaking so bad. He looks like a wreck at this point of the run cause he knows its going well
This is just purely incredible. Huge congratulations Linkus!
Heck yeah I love falling asleep watching these 😂
Mate, same.
Still love watching this run and I owe ezscape for that you can truly feel the passion and nervousness towards the end of the run and to see it from start to end is a awesome viewing experience

Well, to be honest I think it just pulls you up to the surface once you get beneath the pool. And the item slide is pretty easy too
How nerve-wracking it must have been when the stream dc'ed, getting a wr with such a huge distraction in the background is crazy. Congrats!

the best part of all this? he has since BEAT THIS TIME

Youre a legend man! so happy for u, congrats!

Yes!!!
Man, can we just appreciate the game's graphics for a second? I've been watching this video on 360p, and the gameplay screen still looks crisp as heck, compared to the grainy look of the overlay and Linkus' face.
That's because Nintendo themselves did it, unlike Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword which were outsourced to Tantalus.
This run impregnated me. NICE WORK DUDE! 😭 It's over!
the shaking at around 5:14:00 onward is so real man, gotta feel so many chills for him at this moment
bro from the bottom of my heat congrats!
You truly are a hero my friend!

I know I am late but congrats man you pushed your self to your limit and won. YOU DESERVE THIS
