The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Has been beaten on the Nintendo Switch 2 in less than 10 minutes ahead of the official release of the console.
As reported by Nintendo Insider, Speedrunner Ikaboze has already cleared the Switch 2 version of the game while participating in the Nintendo Switch 2 experience: The Tokyo event, where he was able to play the game’s 20-minute demo.
However, it turned out that speedrunner needed less than half that time to roll credits.
By using an autosave file located outside Hyrule Castle and removing his equipment, Ikaboze was able to defeat the final boss, Ganon and become the first player in the world to beat Breath of the Wild On Switch 2.
The feature was achieved in about seven minutes using the new Switch 2 controller, and if you see the complete speed driving below, other participants and staff at the event can be seen that he is cheering him on.
“I was surprised at how many people gathered,” Ikaboze said (translated via VGC).
“The staff even filmed on their smartphones. This was the first time someone had completed the wild demo and the staff congratulated me.”
