It has been just a little over a yr since The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom landed on Swap and for many people, the journey is over. Certain, we would drop into Hyrule to mop up a pair extra quest, do some extra exploring or get misplaced within the marvel of all of it, however, usually talking, we’re performed.
The identical can’t be mentioned for speedrunner and content material creator SmallAnt. After asserting that he had reached the hallowed 100% completion charge throughout the first two weeks of the sport’s launch, you would possibly suppose that the streamer would even be completed with Hyperlink’s newest journey. You’ll be flawed.
In a latest stream, SmallAnt set out on a mission to gather each distinctive rock within the sport. Sure, you learn that appropriately. Not content material with the Korok Seeds, named places, Facet Quests, Shrines and different classes required for 100% completion, SmallAnt collected rocks (thanks, GamesRadar).
If it seems like a little bit of a joke, that is as a result of it kinda is — the streamer was impressed to begin the collectathon by a commenter who claimed he had overwhelmed the sport too quick. However this is not to say that SmallAnt did not put the grind in.
As you will see within the following video, SmallAnt’s assortment needed to embody each distinctive rock (together with Talus Hearts, fallen Sky Island items and boulders) and so they needed to come from throughout Hyrule. Due to the magic of despawning surroundings gadgets when Hyperlink is simply too distant from them, SmallAnt needed to carry your complete assortment with him always (be that Fused to weapons or on an enormous “Bouldermobile”) to make sure his work wasn’t for nothing.
And worry not, the rock assortment was cross-referenced in opposition to a spreadsheet of each object within the sport, so we all know that no stone was left unturned… actually.
We cannot go into the specifics of how SmallAnt went about finishing this problem — although his video is titled ‘I collected each rock in Tears of the Kingdom’, so it is best to have some concept about how profitable he was — however put together to be taught extra about Hyrule’s geological construction than you ever thought you’d.
What is the craziest factor you have performed in Tears of the Kingdom since launch? Tell us within the feedback.
