The speedrunner community surrounding Zelda games is known for its unparalleled dedication. Having conquered Breath of the Wild, many speedrunners are now eagerly looking forward to Tears of the Kingdom as their next challenge to break games and set new completion records.
In an interview with IGN, Player 5 expressed their hopes and fears for Tears of the Kingdom. After years of pushing the limits of Breath of the Wild, fans are excited to embark on a fresh adventure. Player 5 stated, “I’m hoping that none of [Breath of the Wild’s speedrunning techniques] get carried over so that we have kind of a brand new set of techniques to use. Because I can just play Breath of the Wild if I want to use those glitches… Getting to figure stuff out at the early stages of the game should be fun before there’s an established route.”
