The Insane Complexity of Tears of the Kingdom Speedruns

Why is Tears of The Kingdom All Dungeons so hard to break for Speedrunners? It's not the glitches or patches like you might suspect. It's an entirely different problem.

@parchmentengineer8169 8 ай бұрын

Is there any way to just grab the one on the Sky Island? I know it would take time out of the run, but how does that time compare to the time needed to grab any of the other shirts?

@nebulous9280 8 ай бұрын

@@parchmentengineer8169I think the main idea is that you have to go out of your way to get the Zora Tunic and Flamebreaker chest anyway. It's more efficient to find a way to do those before Gerudo than to go out of your way, get a shirt, do Gerudo, only to go straight to Goron or Zora's just to get another shirt anyway.

I didn’t actually activate the quest to clear the thunderhead before the spirit temple, i just kinda wandered in. Once I was done with the spirit temple, i remembered the ring ruins and was wondering what they were. I go in ans realise i skipped almost all the steps up to the spirit temple.

@WhyUHaf2BeMad 8 ай бұрын

i done the same lol , theres so much you can accidentally skip and ruin for yourself by just exploring when that seems to be the main part of the game. they really should have locked some of the things off until youve got an item or done a quest etc i wish they didnt let me get the mastersword so easily relatively early on, because i wanted to do the geoglyphs as i explored for it to just ruin the dekutree quest later. the gloom hands were fkin me up to then get rewarded with nothing because i had previously watched some cutscenes :(

@LegendofLink5204 8 ай бұрын

@@WhyUHaf2BeMad oh yeah the memories were a giant complaint with me cause in BoTW there was a story but if you skipped around it was no big deal. TotK tho, if you skip some it can ruin the story. I ended up looking up all the locations just so I could experience the entire thing in order.

@@emidemi7211 be glad I didn't say "all koroks" or "all Addison signs". THOSE would be awful. Besides, FromSoft games have some pretty absurd challenge runs. Whether you talking about "all endings 100% as fast as possible" or "everything you can do on one file as quick as possible", doing a "perfect speed run " in Bloodborne makes "all warp points" feel like a morning jog. Especially since rocket shield cheeses most of the shrines anyway.
