So in my experience when playing the randomizer the auction house is in such a way that when you leave and re-enter the likelihood of it showing the same item again is higher than a different one. That being said you can kind of mess with that by entering the room talking to the auctioneer declining leave the room then re-enter and do the auction. This should change the item more often than not.

speedruns never stop being funny. "I ripped the souls out of these slime creatures, then pushed all but one of them into the corner of walls in such a way that they get sent miles away using gaps in reality, and i do the same to the last one but count _precisely_ when its body dissipates into the aether so that i can position myself to get crushed and swallowed by this tree. This little maneuver saved us about two minutes!"

Love how Linkus is so inside the Zone during the entirety of the video to the point that twitch chat is nonexistant and that makes this feel like a separate video of it's own rather than an edited VOD. Now that's impressive (Still, the route showcased on this video is completely bonkers aaand it also serves as a proof that EVERY videogame is completely broken on their core, and given enough time 100% speedrunning evolves into super-complex, multi-layered optimized routes that are mini-speedruns on their own which is completely insane to me) Simply perfect

Fun fact: The Forbidden Woods are actually a corrupted version of the Kokiri Forest. You can actually see remnants of the Kokiri Village.

@jaredbarker9515 6 ай бұрын

I've never understood how landmarks keep shifting their locations, including vertically. In Ocarina of time, Kokiri Village wasn't really any higher than most of the map. Hyrule must be very geologically unstable, otherwise that entire place would be deep underwater, just like Hyrule Castle. (I know it's for gameplay reasons.)

@@jaredbarker9515If you want to look at it from a lore perspective, consider the second word in the title of most games in the franchise: Legend. They're all legends. With legends, including those in real life, details can get muddied, exaggerated, and mixed up. So all the inconsistencies in the games can easily be chalked up to the way legends evolve over time. So far, the layout considered 'the most official' for Hyrule is the one laid out in Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, since that's the latest version. It also bears countless references to the other legends with landmarks named after characters from those old tales.

@azer67 5 ай бұрын

These sunken chest only contain rupees on the international releases, so they are not required to fish up for 100%. It's a combination of the different heart piece locations (mainly savage labyrinth) and text that makes JP a lot faster than US or PAL. Also, you have to visit all these islands for other reasons as well, so adding one chest to salvage is far from bad.
