Hes got a decadelong history of trying to beat Zelda games as fast as he can. Its a completely different experience than playing the game casually, and it is possible to do both, Wernicke says. I enjoyed my casual exploration of the game very much and will likely continue to enjoy it when I get around to completely finishing it.
In a video posted May 12, which he (correctly) surmised will quickly be outdated, Wernicke gives players a brief explanation of how he pulled off his record.
For the average player,The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom will take upwards of50 hours to beatthat is, complete the games main storyline and save Hyrule.
Instead, the time he spent refining his route was mostly about boss fightshow to tackle each one in a way that would yield decently consistent results without sacrificing too much time.
But theres one thing Wernicke wants to clarify. The biggest misunderstanding by far is that somehow I mustve done this run right when the game released with no prior practice or forethought, he says. While that would be very impressive, thats just not the case.
Wernicke had already sunk 35 hours or so intoTears of the Kingdom by the time he pulled off his run.
