Considered a masterpiece by fans, the latest installment of the Zelda license, The Legend of Zelda : Tears of the Kingdom, arouses a lot of enthusiasm among speedrunners. Just two weeks after the release of gameone of them has already managed to finish it in less than an hour, relays the specialized site Eurogamer.
The record was previously held by another player who had completed the new Zelda in 1 hour 2 minutes and 42 seconds. But that record didn’t last very long. This speedrunner has been dethroned by another: Zdi6923’s. The latter managed to reach the end of the video game in 59 minutes and 22 seconds. An exceptional run immortalized and published at speedrun.com.
A real competition
Speedrun is a video game discipline that consists of completing a game as quickly as possible. Everything is allowed to get there. Players can take advantage of bugs in the game or use functions that are not dedicated to it. This is a real competition which can be organized at events, but which can also be played solo and live.
There are also several categories of speedruns in the same game (finish the main quest, finish all the quests, etc.). Like the previous record, Zdi6923’s is in the “Any %” category. This consists of reaching the end of the game, without worrying about the quests to be accomplished.
A motivated community
For several years, many speedrunners have competed on the different games of the Zelda license. But the records around this franchise might not stop there. Indeed, since its release on May 12, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom game has become one of the company’s most profitable. Nintendo. In a few days, the new opus has sold more than 10 million copies and this is only the beginning.
