It’s been eight months since The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds came out for 3DS, and speedrunners have already pretty much hacked it apart.
Here’s a new World Record run, set by speedrunner Anwonu. He beats the game in an hour and 31 minutes — and that’s with a few mistakes that could’ve shaved off even more time.
For context, this is a game that typically takes ~10 hours to finish. And some of the tricks Anwonu uses — like that dungeon-skipping bomb jump in Turtle Rock — are extremely difficult to pull off.
It’s really amazing just how good some of these Zelda speedrunners are.

It’s impressive, but not surprising. Zandergoth ran it in 1:48:11 during SGDQ and made a fair few mistakes. I’m not sure if it was 17 minutes worth of mistakes though. I find it funny that one of the dungeon skips was found on day 1 by speedrunners.
