I wanted to see if there was a 100% catagory for Hyrule Warriors (there isnt) but was also surprised to see that its 2:20:00-3:00:00ish depending on new game or new game+

e: there are different catagories like All Levels for definitive edition which are like 8 hours lol which I don't think I could do, and I say this as someone who loved the FF7 run a few back.

Simply by virtue of not being a roguelike unless you set it to be, Cadence of Hyrule is way easier and anyone should be able to play it.

Yeah.... it sort of loses it's luster when you say it 100 times during a run.

I mean, these long RPG runs are great when I need to get some work done, but they can drag and Zelda is no exception.

It doesn't help that the couch is bad.

Edit: And that the runner+couch managed to kill hype.

100% runs are kinda boring imo. Sometimes they're alright but other times they are 3 hours long and they have a couch that is asleep.

RPG runs live or die based off the depth and breadth of knowledge the runner/couch has of every minor inner working of the game

there was an FF1 run with RNG manip back in 2017 that gyre, feasel, and puwexil did and it was a genuinely enjoyable 4 hours because they knew the drat thing inside out and backwards and always had something to talk about

gyre is also pretty charismatic and is able to maintain a constant casual dialogue during his normal streams too

Same with the FF7 run and that was 7 hours.

This run has been okay but you definitely need a more active couch to make it work.

Yeah this. The run itself has been solidly done, but the runner really needed the couch to say more then "hype" every now and then.

I think I found the 100% Wind Waker run more engaging and that went on for about 7 hours.

Maybe a three hour 100% run that has two trips through a fifty floor enemy gauntlet isn't the best thing to put on the schedule.

Edit: and the guy reading donations right now isn't so hot either

iirc he ran one of the DS games at RPG limit break this year so he's probably alright

there's definitely been worse fuckups in GDQ history but learning the extremely dangerous crash-prone route for a marathon when another, safer one had already been discovered and routed was a tragic decision, especially since that was, i believe, the first run of DS3 ever featured
