Zelda Speedrunner's 10-Minute Boss Victory Amazes at Nintendo Switch 2 Event

by Patrick May 12,2025

A speedrunner of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild achieved an impressive feat at the Nintendo Switch 2 Experience in Japan, where playtime was limited to just 10 minutes. Japanese content creator Ikaboze, as reported by VGC, used an existing save file without prior knowledge of Link’s equipment. In a bold move, Ikaboze decided to "defeat the final boss while tied up completely naked and with all my equipment removed." Starting from a save that led directly to the final boss fight with Ganon, Ikaboze managed to defeat the boss in just seven minutes, earning spontaneous applause from onlookers.
