Nukie completes a nonstop 100% RTA of all seven 3D Zelda games in about 90 hours

Nukie has reportedly completed a nonstop RTA in which all seven 3D Zelda games, from Ocarina of Time to Tears of the Kingdom, are cleared at 100%. It is a superhuman challenge, roughly 90 hours of play without sleeping.

Nukie has long been known for the 100% category in the 3D Zelda games. In January 2023, they cleared the first six titles up to Breath of the Wild in 56 hours and 8 minutes. This time, Tears of the Kingdom was added to make it a complete run. The attempt began with Ocarina of Time on December 19 and reached 100% in about four hours. Majora's Mask was cleared at 9 hours and 18 minutes.

After that, the run changed the order and moved on to Tears of the Kingdom. It required collecting more than 130 unique armor pieces, many side quests, and an enormous number of Korok Seeds, and it reached 100% at 42 hours and 21 minutes. Skyward Sword followed at 51 hours and 21 minutes, The Wind Waker at 58 hours and 43 minutes, and Twilight Princess at 66 hours and 5 minutes.

The last game, Breath of the Wild, was played on Switch 2. Instead of using the older version's high-speed aerial travel glitch, "BLSS," the runner relied heavily on the "wind bomb" technique, combining the bow's focus mode with bomb blasts. After more than 20 hours of collecting the final "Photo Memories," the 100% clear of all titles was completed at 88 hours and 54 minutes from the start. The numbers alone are overwhelming, and I honestly found it deeply impressive.
