Extra Research:
I considered research done by DeliciousTea Gaming in the video “Zelda Breath of the Wild: Link’s Slow-Mo from the Enemy Perspective” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DkjVjAi3N8M when considering how Brawl Meta Knight’s speed would work with Link’s Slow-Mo.
I also took GifZelda’s tweet about Link’s weight into account during the introduction: https://twitter.com/GifZelda/status/1354061871469502466

The Something series is known for its simplistic, cartoony art style, but that should by no means be considered a limitation. Just that bit at 4:14 where link is fighting back at lightning speed, causing all of his weapons to break over time is so detailed and satisfying, and it all happens so fast that you can barely keep up!
Having a simple art style means less effort goes to animation each frame. Which means high action shots like this are more sustainable.
As well as animating the different ways to use the weapons!!
It’s not just the weapons breaking over time but look at the constant change of expression on Link’s face as he’s running out of weapon options as well!
So in theory, the ways to beat speedrunner link are:
-exhaust his food supply
-exhaust his offensive resources
-Have time manipulation too
But even if he’s out of everything he still has access to the four runes, stasis combined with remote bombs means he can still launch someone a decent ways away.
He could also just use Stasis and then run away to buy time to find more weapons and arrows and the like
Hes clearly not in the same level as wahoo, his manipulation of time and his positioning are effective, but crude.
His manipulation only gives him access to items he has access to before or during the fight, If he cannot acquire it, or it is taken or destroyed, his abilities are hindered.
For they are dependent on his reaction time and arsenal, without arrows, his freeze has no use other than a distraction, without stamina he cannot utilize bullet time.
He is powerful, and a formidable foe, yes, but he is not without weakness. It is only a matter of exploiting these weaknesses
oh we can’t forget the fact that he can in fact fly forever using bombs and also can save
@Remix The Idiot yeah
@Tunic stasis can only affect objects, it requires an upgrade which speedrunners don’t go for in order to get the ability to stop time on foes as well.
@Jordan Riley yes, i was talking about it, im sorry
The way you incorporated the game mechanics into Link’s fighting style is without a doubt my favorite detail. His portrayal as a defensive fighter who relied on flurry rushing, but also still had the limitations of breakable weapons, a stamina meter, the inventory screen, etc. I think those details edge this fight slightly over the previous Something Versus for me, and I’m excited to see what’s next.
The speedrunner characters have some seriously powerful techniques when compared to smash characters. It makes sense that Link would win this fight.
Link glowing with power when he activated flurry rush is one of the coolest things I’ve seen
I don’t know why but seeing Link get every weapon broken before having to cycle to the next one is just really satisfying Animation.
Because is fluid as it can be! And that’s amazing
this really shows how powerful speedrunner link is.
Agreed
The fact that he was using them so much that he broke them that quickly is pretty funny
I had to slow it down to x.25 speed to watch it, yeah it was really fun animating.
I like how the short pause at 4:55 shows us two things:
1) Link had a Royal Shield this entire time and chose not to use it for defense during the earlier endurance bout in the air. In fact, he only uses a shield two times in the entire match, the first being a pot-lid shield that broke on first use, and another pot-lid shield that he used to shield-surf up to Meta Knight
2) Link was also in possession of Majora’s Mask and the Cap of Time, which would allow him (presumably) to sneak up on Meta Knight and grant him extra strength respectively. (There’s also an implication that in the TerminalMontage-verse, BotW Link may indeed be OOT/MM Link as well.)
tl;dr BotW Link flexed on Meta Knight by handicapping himself, refusing shield defense in all but one instance, and relying largely on his own skill -(plus the dish he took pre-match per the announcer, but still.)-
@Zyre Thompson I’m not sire who you’re referring to there
@Toxic Pea he’s weaker in raw output but far stronger in endurance.
Gotta play optimally without the use of the rare items. Every speedrunner has their own rules
Although to be clear, Brawl Meta Knight is far weaker than the current version of Meta Knight we know today. Man goes toe-to-toe with planet busters and galactic conquerors in every game he appears in nowadays.
@Nauriek Ah fair enough. I figured they were referring to a dish like what most BotW speedrunners eat before fighting the Blight Ganons. Didn’t know that was a reference to how heavy he was.
This video is a masterpiece, if you were to go back to the fight with Speedrunner Mario and Melee Fox you can see just how much Terminal’s art has grown. Way to go man can’t wait to see what you do next!
4:14 I love how you can see in Link’s face that he’s getting desperate after each weapon breaking
there’s so much attention to detail in these animations
@N M nah he just purposefully nerfed himself
@N M he found it behind the stage
At 4:55, Link is shown to have an empty weapon inventory. Yet at 5:03, he suddenly has an axe. There’s a bit of inconsistency, but the rest is cool.
I fully expected Metaknight to trip at 1:31 I can’t lie.
That would have been the best lmao
