Speedrunners Have Already Beat Breath of The Wild in Under One Hour

Well, we all saw it coming, of course. Actual calling of it happened in Zero Punctuation. Who's surprised? Anyone?

"OMG That's cheating!!!!"

You really can't see the difference between finding interesting workarounds that anyone else with a copy of the game can try for free and paying for an accessory that has historically been really hard to find in stock?

Literally anyone with a copy of Super Mario Bros somewhere can try the wrong warp on 4-2 and don't need to buy the Mario with Warp Whistle Amiibo to get the warp earlier and save 30 seconds on the run.

This is also why there's such a thing as different categories to deal with this sort of thing and why the speedrunner isn't using it in his actual attempts.
