‘The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild’ Update: How to Beat the Recent Speedrun Holder? Speedrun Techniques

Mar 13, 2017 12:22 PM EDT

Recently, "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" has been beaten in just less than an hour by three speedrunners; weeks since the game was launched in Nintendo Switch. Yesterday, a new world record was claimed by the Runner Venick409 with a record mark of fifty-four minutes and five seconds by finishing the game; beating its final boss.

Venick409's record breaking news a day after gymnast86 made the first sub-go minute run of the open-world epic. The first completed speedrun of "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" was launched worldwide last March 3, which the first person to complete the speedrun was named Orcastraw by almost 3 hours and 35 mins, according to Kotaku.

There's a controversy for those successful speedruns; the Amiibo. Orcastraw and Vernck409 both used "Smash Bro." twilight Link amiibo in their main runs. By that, the figurine will immediately spawn a horse for Link which cuts any time travel. One of the best technique in speedrunning "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" is Whistle Sprinting by just holding the D-pad down while tapping the B button; this will allow your character to maintain a high ground speed while recovering its stamina between sprints simultaneously done, noted by Polygon.

In breaking the latest speedrun holder of "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild," a player must undergo game tutorials completely. If you want to reach the Hyrule Castle faster, don't do sprint all the way; use a horse. In acquiring a horse, there's a method that has been a minor controversial by consistently using Link's iconic steed from Epona through "Smash Bros." Link amiibo.

Few fans of "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" stated that Epona is one way of abusing the speedrun rules which another speedrunner stated by a guy named SethBling. SethBling stated that others might look the Epona was one way of cheating but it wasn't. By this, after SethBling has finished the game's tutorial he made it to the final boss in just 12 minutes in Nintendo Switch's "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild."
