It is no secret that The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild could be crushed fairly shortly if you realize what you are doing. Because of the open-ended nature of the sport, expert gamers can skip principally all the things after The Nice Plateau and leg it straight to Hyrule Fort to face the ultimate boss.
At a current Swap 2 Expertise occasion in Tokyo, Japan, that is precisely what speedrunner Ikaboze managed to perform with the brand new Swap 2 Version of the sport (thanks, VGC). Effectively… we are saying “precisely”, however given the 10-minute restrict on the demo, an ordinary speedrun which incorporates The Nice Plateau would not be attainable.
So as a substitute, Ikaboze loaded up a save simply earlier than the ultimate encounter with Ganon, eliminated all gear from Hyperlink, and managed to succeed in the top credit in simply 7 minutes.
As you may little question see within the above video, he was greeted with applause from a gathering viewers, all of which (we assume) had not but seen such a feat achieved on the Swap 2 model of Breath of the Wild. Actually, we’d go as far as to say that Ikaboze would possibly properly be the primary particular person to beat the ultimate boss on Swap 2.
It will be attention-grabbing to see whether or not the enhancements within the new launch truly make any tangible distinction to the correct speedruns come fifth June 2025. The sport on Swap 2 boasts revamped efficiency and determination, with further content material supplied by way of the ‘Zelda Notes’ app.
Those that are subscribed to Nintendo Swap On-line + Enlargement Pack will get entry to the brand new launch at no further value (supplied you already personal Breath of the Wild on Swap, in fact), however for everyone else, the improve pack will value a further £7.99 / €9.99.
