    12:25 I feel like longer speedruns are really underrated. They're like condensed longplays where you get to see the majority of the game's "main content" with less traveling around and filler. And I get to see challenging dungeons completed quickly that I'd never see in a 5-minute game-breaking speedrun.

    I still remember watching Oot speed runs that were 2hrs long and being amazed they could beat it so fast. Absolutely crazy to think it's down to less than 4mins now!!

    "These two guards are just as effective as a giant magical wall" 😂😂😂 LMAO give them a raise they're doing their job right 😂
  • @injuredbook9946
    Twilight Princess is such a broken, but also unbreakable game at the same time.
  • It's crazy that dungeons still have to be beaten in dev-intended order
  • @ernesta5583
    Those two guards being as effective as a giant magical wall is crazy. Those are the GOATs of the Hyrule kingdom. I hope one day they become an integral function of the Zelda timeline. They deserve it.

    Twilight Princess, my first Zelda game and my favorite to this day. It just has so much fun content and I love the combat system. The story is amazing as well. I just wish some of the bosses were more fleshed out..

    3:23 “twilight princess is going to be 17 years old.” You’re making me feel old.
  • @bobmanperson599
    I find this so fascinating, because Twilight Princess is probably the most linear 3D Zelda. You can't even try doing sidequests without the mailman informing you of the next story beat

    As somebody who has a deep affection for glitchless runs (as a viewer, not a runner), I love watching TP runs. While I still enjoy Any% and the like and certainly find them to be very impressive, there is something deeply satisfying about watching someone exhibit total mastery of the game as intended. This obviously isn't a glitchless route, but the lack of a credit warp or some other total game breaker makes my heart happy.

    As someone who used to speedrun this game, it feels like the developers just barely kept out of our reach such massive time saves. So cool to see the community still working on it
  • I love twilight princess when I was younger, everyday after school, I threw my backpack against the wall, sat down, and played for hours on end! Twilight will always have a place in my heart and it will continue to do so for the years to come! Also keep uploading amazing content Linkus7!

    To be honest, the best speedruns to watch (for me) is the ones that show of as much of the game as possible while still doing crazy stuff fast. Thats why categories like All dungeons, All stars, Or sometimes glitchless in many games, is my absolute favorites anyways. It just so happens that TP is longer but still as fast as currently possible, and it a great speedrun.

    While I sympathize with runners unable to crack a game down in length, these "unbreakable" games are some of my favorite to see ran. Where its soooo close to a major breakthrough but the developers made this one thing just too damn well.
  • Watch: now that people have heard about how hard it is to break Twilight Princess, we're probably going to get some insane breakthrough in a week or something.
  • @sugarkitty2008
    I remember how that barrier in windwaker was seen as impossible and was a huge time killer, an analysis video like this explained it. I watched some speedrunners trying all sorts of things to get past it. Then it was solved about a year or 2 later.
  • The YT channel 'Bewildebeest' has a fantastic commentated twilight princess 100% speedrun (which is roughly 6 hours, I think?). He goes through a lot of techniques and tricks and all that, it's very good. It's from January, so it's fairly up to date too :)
  • Personally I've always found TP to be the most interesting speedrun to watch --- far more so than the ones that can be beaten in under an hour. I love how many interconnecting parts there are and how just one element out of place could ruin the whole thing. Plus I think it's interesting how many differences there are in speedruns for different versions of the game.

    A wrong death warp leading to a puppy test room that could be the key to the TP speedrun seems absolutely perfect to me. If this method ever gets a major breakthrough and becomes feasible, I hope it becomes known as the "Puppy Heaven" route. May the Divine Wolf find his way to Puppy Heaven and be welcomed with wagging tails!
