I always find it entertaining that botw speedrunners can break the game enough to literally manipulate their inventory and get illegal weapons, yet the Great Plateau is still mandatory
I think there is a way to skip plateau, but it requires another file to do a hard glitch in and a lot of time, and it also took years to find. So not usable in speedruns.
True🤣
@@arttukettunen5757 If you're talking about the glitch I'm thinking of, I'm pretty sure whilst that glitch can get you out of the plateau for a second, it immediately causes you to "fall" and spawns you back. (I'm guessing you're talking about the shrine glitch, if not though that's on me lol)
Is the automatic void-out even understood yet? One theory ive heard is that the game checks your coordinates every few seconds, if your coordinates are outside of a “box” that surrounds the great plateau, you get voided out, and this box is removed when you get the paraglider.
@@ddgaxelnilsson7855 kinda. The game has a few conditions it checks. If you don't have the paraglider outside of the plateau then it will void you out. I'm not sure what the others are but smant has shown off some things that manipulate this in his no sheikah slate run.
I was dying when you explained how punishing making a mistake during the first hour was and then immediately had to reset 45min because you forgot a single torch
Just shows how punishing IST is
RNGsus be like "yeah, speaking of which fuck you"
I think Link, the legendary swordsman, almost died from a heart attack when he heard you listing all the things to do in a single day.
Tbf it took link in botw time months
Honestly I would want to die if I were link
True
In Botw time 24 hours is 150 days
"Ferb, I know what we're gonna do today!"
I love how many shortcuts actually show how good the physics engine can be. Like sometimes where the game designers want you to hit something with a very big object going pretty fast but you can shortcut it by making a pretty big object go very fast.
or in some situations, a small object going mach 10
The instant shift from talking for 45 minutes about speedrun strats to remembering apple juice caught me incredibly off guard
Then like 20 minutes of pure flexing on us plebs

Thunder blight is one of my favorites. I'd been fighting it for like ten minutes straight, tanking loads of damage, when Urbosa said something to the effect of "Dodge, ya wimp," and from that point forward I could parry/dodge anything.
I love the part with Link just sailing through those ruins with all the Guardians. Just gliding through the air like a doofus, all that anti-air laser fire from below, the Guardians probably like "What is _this_ shit!?"... xD
"I'm just gonna glide, I am above the conflicts of this mortal realm~"

It's incredible to think that we'll have a sequel 6 years later 😄

And yet it's still full price after all these years
@@Toast4128 imo worth it still
And yet has to feel like a zelda game.
Ant's ability to speedrun this well, as well as explain everything he is doing in a way that it can make sense to any casual is so incredible.
He is truly pog
It’s the big fred
The way he casually talks about intuitively feeling the route is the only proof I need that this guy would 100% cheese high school.
_So did you and I._
The fact he can remember where all 120 shrines are, all 900 koroks, and most items in this huge ass map is mind-boggling
And to do it all in one day like bro no way way how
He definitely doesn't remember all their locations, alot but not all. Speedrunners will almost always have their notes up on the side to tell them what to do when, where and how. It allows speedrunners to have the correct information available without the need to desperately remember each detail.
@@FreyR_Kunn it's still insanely impressive though...

The knowledge and control ability that goes into this is insane. I remember being pumped a few months back that I could still do LTTP in under 8 hours 100% from memory. I am like 80 hours into BOTW and still need a few hundred Koroks.
1:10 From the start this run was blessed hell yeah! 16:52 The flat "I'm going to be menu-ing for about 20 minutes." lmao. 20:44 Smallant learns the basics of the psychology behind creating habits lol. 1:21:32 "Paya should be on her knees crying... fantastic!"
It’s crazy how much faster the game has gotten. From around 69 hours(granted without much practice before) to a little under 20 hours.
The game has been sub 20 hours for around 4 years and current war is 15 hours
@@skallaskalla3278 I think his point is more that before then, it was much longer and the route’s been optimized more since even that.
@@thegreatpapyrus2306 if you look at the speed runs you can see that of all time the slowest speedrun on 100% was smallant’s by far which was beaten by runs even 6+ years ago it was never even remotely that slow

A couch, also known as a sofa, settee, or chesterfield, is a cushioned item of furniture for seating multiple people. It is commonly found in the form of a bench with upholstered armrests and is often fitted with springs and tailored cushion and pillows. Typical loveseat dimensions are around 58 inches wide, up to 38 inches in depth, and around 34 inches high. Those extra few inches less in typical sofa sizes make all the difference for smaller living spaces. Usually, a standard sofa will average about 86 inches in length and have three seat cushions. For a coffee table in front of the sofa, make sure to allow 12 to 18 inches in between for legroom.

Why are you writing that
Either Smant is the greatest improv master of all time or he is living in a movie with all of his absolutely insane stories.
I love how you've done an insane amount of glitches by 6:00ish when you explain that you need to do the plateau before anything else. That one bastion stands firm against glitches, no matter how wide open the rest of the game has been broken to that point. Kind of awe-inspiring, tbh.
There is a reason Zelda sent Link to the plateau. The place is impenetrable.
Well I’d say the fact that you need the slate and the first 4 powers along with the paraglider means that you pretty much have to do the plateau
I actually really like that the great plateau can't be skipped. It's caused a ton of innovation in how to get those 4 shrines as quickly as possible. If you remove the plateau from an any% speedrun, it's not that interesting.
As someone who’s 100%ed twice, I cannot fathom doing all of it in under _a month._
Yeah like theres so much game how do they do this 😂 even after watching the whole thing im still like “h o w *cries in 2% of the game*”
I followed a guide and did it in just over two weeks.
@@Good_Hot_Chocolate mf nobody cares
@@Good_Hot_Chocolatewait until you try hyrule warriors… it’s harder than this

Imagine being a monk in a Shrine for 5000 years waiting for the worthy hero of hyrule to take time completing your shrine, and he just bombs himself over using a lil'boomy-zoomy. No wonder the monks disappeared in ToTK, taking the bomb rune with them.
I like this guys videos as white noise because I literally don't know how to focus and I love being so insanely lost and having no idea what this guy's talking about whenever I zone back to ants voice, it's really fun to figure out what just happened. keep doing what you do Ant, love your videos!
I am a firm believer that Smallant not only practices his speedrunning for 100s of hours to complete things like this, but practices his commentary for it as well. He's just too good at dumbing it down for us while making it extremely entertaining lmao
I prefer to think he just has an IRL 12th level intellect he's hiding from us.
@@TyshaggyGaming real
lol he runs over different ways of trying to explain it in his head while he practices speedruns
Its easy to explain things if you’re passionate or understand it well. Theres a quote I like that essentially says that if you are unable to concisely explain a topic, you yourself do not understand it well.
@@CPUSublimeHeart eh I dunno about that one, some things are just real hard to explain concisely if the person doesn't have any foreknowledge
It's unbelievable that Ant can speedrun so well and explain everything he does in a way that any normal person can understand
Yeah hearing ant even speak about his school days shows you how both socially and intellectually smart he is, the humility toward academics aswell showing he doesn’t value them as highly as one would at first glance, because he’s smart.

Lots of props to that teacher who eventually ended up making you teach the class. Right when you started that story, I could tell that he wasn't having a "bad day" but was trying to "trick you" into paying more attention in class and being engaged. He knew you understood the material (perhaps even better than himself) and wanted to give you a way to helping you help your peers give an better understanding of the coursework, from a new perspective. I come from a family of teachers and I've seen a lot of shitty ones that should *not* be teaching. This guy was a good egg.

Fr I just found him and he's the only streamer/youtuber that I can watch without getting bored/distracted

7:28 The "wait to skip the shrine cutscene" trick is actually really useful in casual playthrough, I wish I had known that, that would have saved me so much loading time.
Definitely. I use that and the stamina glitch in my regular playthroughs, just because they're so easy to do.
@@choppercove I think so. It really is easy to do
Can you explain it more? I didn't really get it. Wouldn't it reset after closing and opening the game anyways?
@@buttonasas Oh, it has nothing to do with the duplication glitch, it's a really simple glitch to pull off that lets you run without using stamina by spamming the whistle button. Or if you were talking about the shrine cutscene glitch, it's only a trick to save loading time. Apparently if you skip the cutscene too soon while talking to the monk, it will reload the overworld unnecessarily. It's arguably a bug, not a game breaking one, but it does make you wait on the loading screen a tiny bit more and is a bit annoying. From what Smant's saying, if you wait the right amount while talking to the monk before pressing X, it will indeed save you some loading time.

I just discovered this Channel 2 Days ago and I Fell in love with this specific video. The combination of insane gameplay, trick/bug/glitch explaining and doing these tricks/bugs/glitches, the challenge itself and the story's of your childhood/school experience is sooooo fricking entertaining I love it ❤ ( btw iam from Germany and almost every Teacher in Germany is like the one you mentioned 😅)
I genuinely remember failing that Korok time circle thing at 1:16:16 like 20 times my first time I ever played the game. Obviously I didn’t know the speed running tricks and broke like 5 shields because I thought that was how to do it. You can imagine my frustration when I got reminded of that puzzle after having completely forgotten it and seeing you complete it while getting 3 other korok seeds I didn’t even know about at the same time.
Thats rough man :(
Speed runner moment
17:05 Smallant really pulled a "I did a little mining off camera, and now I'm rich, immortal, and ready to kill gods."
this was such a fun watch, can you upload the full vod?
between the school stories and your descriptions of how you speedrun there is definitely something up with you, but you seem to be doing great. keep up the good work man
The fact that it took smant 30 seconds to name all requrenents, while already talking quite fast, just shows how insane this speedrun is
I am just amazed that somebody remembers where every shrine is, and what every shrine is as well as all those seeds. I’m honestly blown away.
It s really easy when you love the game very very much and you also have autism trust me
@@Egg_Ming_Gaahyperfixations are really common with autism! if BOTW was someone's special interest, they're going to spend as much time as possible playing. it's a massive dopamine dump. there's probably a better way to explain this but that's how it makes sense to me! hope this was helpful. :)
@@Egg_Ming_Gaa it's mostly diagnostic sensationalism (but is also jokingly memed about). As someone who has an autistic diagnosis myself and have known many people on the spectrum.. I can assure you the "hyperfixation" is mostly a myth (in the sense of it being portrayed as a distinct "ability") Autistic people tend to have very narrow interests due to being less socialized, resulting in a lack of "flexibility" and adopting new interests. This in turn might create the illusion of "hyperfixation". It has nothing to do about the actual ability to focus or stay focused, but rather the lack of diversity in personal interests, which manifests into very "one note" lifestyles that from an outside perspective might appear as if they have some sort of "superfocus" or fixation.
No... Some autistic people DO have specific interests they can focus on much better, but it's a spectrum and so everyone is different.
@@itsentdev are you replying to me or someone else? because that is essentially what i said. my point being that the ability of being able to "focus better" stems more from the fact that one has specific and limited interests, but not necessarily some distinct "special ability" to focus better than other humans (which alot of sensationalist media might sell it as).
I watched your vids alot and im just now starting to see that you are a very good youtuber/streamer so you earned a sub. Keep it up your doing good!
The 100% runs for totk are probably gonna be insane
1:08:35 They did patch out bokoblin archers firing infinite arrows, before you could just indefinitely collect the arrows they shoot and there was no cap to how many you could collect from each one.

Eh, I’d believe it. I remember fiddling with the calculator to make little programs and games too - funnily enough in precalc in 9th grade. My mind was blown when I learned you could interact with the graph screen!!~ I ended up making a silly little game kinda like snake where ya had to avoid crossing over your own line as ya went from one point to another and called it line thing. It was fun to fiddle with- though I struggled with the meaning of soh cah toa for the longest time until I wanted to try and make circles bounce off one another in a Java programming class later. Hell, the 98/99 of 100 questions feels similar too. I was constantly a bit different - for better and worse - when it came to various things due to mental stuff that was understood very little at the time (ADHD, Autism, etc) I was always the kid that would try to ask questions about things for the better of others - and in a lotta cases I was simply oblivious to how various things normally are. Hell, I’d bring snacks like goldfish n’ “Jesus pretzels” (butter snaps nicknamed because they tasted divine). Despite fights breaking out seemingly almost daily, I was just kinda vibing throughout with zero enemies ahahah But ye - regardless of whether smant’s stories are ultimately true or false, I think they’re surprisingly believable :o

Speedruns for not only Tears of the Kingdom Any% but also 100% is really going to be interesting when it comes out and what type of new glitches and exploits will be found to make it even faster
As long as Nintendo isn't brutal to it's fans for releasing content on it.
damn you are still alive stickmaster? Didn't see ya for a long time on any comment section
Spoilers..... 100% Speedrun is gonna be twice as long cuz there is whole underground Depths (which is the size of whole hyrule map underground) as well as sky islands. There is long ass quest at the start of the game which takes 2 hrs before the game sets us free with paraglider. Its not looking good.
its literally going to be the exact same things used here at the beginning. its basically the same game as the first one, so most of the exploits will more than likely be the same.
@@lonewanderer9113maybe but basic glitches like whistle running have been patched in the new game
I literally can’t wait for more! I haven’t seen this game yet, but I love stardew!
What in the drugs
Idk bro
I love you speedrunner's who actually can explain things while doing it, y'all are INSANE!
I love how even after 20 hours straight, you still are communicative and seem to be just as fresh as when starting!
he did it over several streams
@@leonpritchard1302 Then how does he have the same shirt on?
@@SmflappySome people wear the same clothes for more than one day (whether they wash it or not)

You should do a 100 percent randomizer challenge to see how long it takes you, the bestish KZheadr
That pre-calculus math teacher anecdote really is fun to listen to
can't believe he did a 100% in 1:30:56, what a legend
The video is cutted. At 1:30:27 in the left top corner there is a total time: 19h59m11s.
@@chrisstoltz3648 no it isnt? it took him almost 20hours which is still almost nothing
@@chrisstoltz3648 55:28 you can cleary see how the time jumps up
It's a joke
R/whoosh
i genuinely dont regret watching all 1 and a half hours of this at all, this speedrun is a lot cooler than i expected it to be, and your commentary kept it entertaining throughout.
“If we did everything correct, Pya should be on her knees crying… Good.” 😭😂
I watch this 2 times the whole thing without missing anything this was amazing to watch
i did that ice cube shrine at 28:15 in the exact same manner in my own run and i was so proud of it, cool to see it’s part of this run
