It has been a bit over a yr since The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom landed on Change 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 achieved.
The identical can’t be stated for speedrunner and content material creator SmallAnt. After saying that he had reached the hallowed 100% completion fee inside the first two weeks of the sport’s launch, you may suppose that the streamer would even be completed with Hyperlink’s newest journey. You’d be unsuitable.
In a current stream, SmallAnt set out on a mission to gather each distinctive rock within the sport. Sure, you learn that accurately. Not content material with the Korok Seeds, named areas, 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 crushed 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 embrace each distinctive rock (together with Talus Hearts, fallen Sky Island items and boulders) they usually needed to come from throughout Hyrule. Because of the magic of despawning atmosphere gadgets when Hyperlink is simply too distant from them, SmallAnt needed to carry all the 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 towards a spreadsheet of each object within the sport, so we all know that no stone was left unturned… actually.
We can’t 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 thought about how profitable he was — however put together to study extra about Hyrule’s geological construction than you ever thought you’d.
