"Speedrunners Achieve 100% Completion in 139 Hours for 'Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom'"

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has been completed by speedrunners in just over an hour, with Gymnast86 holding the community record at 1:34:33. The game's director, Hidemaro Fujibayashi, anticipated players would try to circumvent the path laid out for them, but the game was designed so it wouldn't break completely. Glitches and the advantages they provide are generally welcomed by the speedrunning community, with rare exceptions for extreme examples that would allow players to override code and write their own.
