This is NOT a valid speedrun! But it's a good indication of how fast the current strats can go when taken to their limit. I figured it had been a while since I last attempted to make an any% explained video (which had bad audio issues) so I wanted to redo it with a fully commentated run. And since I lowered my sum of best to under 23 minutes I figured this would be a great way of doing that while keeping the footage fresh. Here's a few resources to check out if you want to start speedrunning the game yourself:

    This is a theoretical speedrun made using my best segments to show what it would take to get sub 23 using the current strats. It's also a fully commentated run so if you've ever wondered why we do something in the run this will likely answer those questions, but if it doesn't then feel free to ask in the comments!

    Its so strange to watch you blss without hearing your controller joystick hitting over and over
  • @EmseyDaisy
    Thank you for the suggestion of trying bomb arrows in rudania. I will definitely go try that, and surely will have an explosively good time
  • @eclipse_zeta
    7:03 The video about loading times will be loads of fun? Yeah, I guess that makes sense.
  • @MAVA-1805
    as an italian i can confirm that the italian old man's voice is the best i've ever heard. I want to thank you man for your excellent job, you are the one who got me into speedruns, i love your content, keep going.
  • @qntlrosa
    omg i needed this, i felt like ive missed so much new stuff in botw speedruns with how updated it is
  • @djtrig6576
    This is EXACTLY what record speedruns posted on YouTube should aspire to haha, amazing well organized commentary

    It’s kinda crazy to think on how good player 5 is considering he took his own world record back after a month after he returned from a 10 month absence of BotW speedrunning. Player 5 reminds me so much of GreenSuigi in the Super Mario 64 speedrunning community, both truly are the Goats of speedrunning their respective Nintendo game. Can’t wait for you to break the 23 minute barrier Player 5

    Excellent video! This is probably the best explanation video I’ve seen for this run!

  • @onyx_ebony7153
    CLEAN vid Player5! The commentary was great and all the explanations to the tricks were very to the point.
  • @johnathangoldsmith563
    Never heard of the quick rush before! I always wondered what that bomb was doing out during calamity.
  • @fedorablewill
    Such a great job explaining things while always keeping the video interesting! Well done!!!
  • @TheGoldenBean-jb2fh
    This was sick. I started trying this out because of you. Thanks for the awesome speedrunning content!
  • @IntingPig
    I don't often watch the streams and always watch the runs on YouTube. Loving the all dungeons run and main quests runs you're currently doing. Keep up the grinds and gl on your world records.
