What Are the Fastest Tears of the Kingdom Speedrun Times?

Youtuber Vivoxe has the fastest Tears of the Kingdom speedrun of 74 minutes. Since its release, the player has attempted to best their record with each playthrough, using various methods to make the process quicker.

Considering Vivoxe’s effort, we could see shorter runs as time progresses, as several fans have offered advice for their next attempt.

Aside from this player, YouTuber gymnast86 was one of the first users to hold the fastest Tears of the Kingdom speedrun of 94 minutes. The streamer also provided some tips and tricks for a speedrun, allowing others to possibly finish the game in a shorter period.

However, the same glitches used to defeat Breath of the Wild won’t prove as effective in Tears of the Kingdom, as there seem to be patches to prevent them. Nevertheless, there may still be a way to utilize these features later down the line, primarily since Legend of Zelda fans have always discovered hacks as time passes.

Although it took gymnast86 42 minutes to reach Hyrule, they believe this amount of time can be shortened with the right weapons. They also express that players can immediately go to the final boss, yet it would be challenging to do so, given that Link won’t have the proper tools and upgrades to defeat the last enemy successfully. But it wouldn’t be surprising to see other players get rid of the opponent without the necessary equipment.
