Shortly after the release of the Nintendo Switch and Zelda: Breath of the Wild we have 3 speedrunners that have completed it in under one hour. These runs where just to either complete the story mission or defeat the last boss, they were not runs to get 100% of the game but we'll probably see some speedrunners on youtube of that soon. One of the 3 speedrunners who goes by Venick409 currently holds the world record with a time of 54:05 but we'll probably see the record broken shortly.

For his part, Venick409 said the Link/Epona amiibo saves 40 to 50 seconds and, further, playing on Wii U as opposed to Nintendo Switch saves another 31 seconds. Even more, using German voice acting shaves off another 10 seconds. It all adds up. For sure this will neither be the last, nor the fastest, run of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
