澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Legend of Z🐼elda: Tears of the Kingdom speedrunners are utilizing incredibly lowkey setups to sp🧸eed through the new gam꧒e.

It's no🎃t uncommon to see speedrunners setting themselღves up with a host of real-world controllers and tech to hack their way through a game in record time. That's not really the case for the latest Zelda game though, where it turns out all you need for tearing through Hyrule is a plank of wood, an apple, and the Autobuild feature.

Yep, that's literally it. The speedrunning veteran on Twitter above explains that by cancelling the Autobuild, and then re🦩activating the main in-game menu as soon as th൩e cancel occurs, you effectively cancel out the function inputs for an item taking place. In this case, that's a wooden plank with an apple Fused to it.

Then you need to press against it, and the wooden plank will repeatedly attempt to bind itself back to you, which is what creates the energy here capable of moving the plank at a million miles an hour. It's mind-blowing to see Tears of the Kingdom's physics alrಌeady broken open like this, considering it's barely been out for 10 days.

As we reported earlier this month when the new Zelda game first launched, the ﷽Tears of the Kin🍨gdom speedrunning record sits at 94 minutes. That could seriously change though if we see more hacks an�🦩�d glitches like this one above uncovered, and as with any player-generated creations in Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, this speedrunning race should be truly glorious to witness unfold.
