Is there a list of the best runs yet?
No, it's not because it's Saturday. It's just that it's a long run and long runs don't attract large crowds until towards the end. And yeah, the horrible Dark Souls run didn't help at all. The crowd will be back for Super Metroid though.
But as much as people hate on long runs or RPG runs in general, they bring in donations and variety to the event. FF7/FF6/Chrono Trigger get a gigantic amount of hate whenever they get run but they bring in the dough. That said, I think WW is one of the weakest of the 3d Zelda (MM/OoT/WW/TP) games.
At least it's barely dipped below 200k viewers last I checked. It's not KH/KH2 levels of bad.

Lol what the fuck that WW water glitch
I haven't seen everything, but some really good ones:
Halo 2
Silent Hill 4: The Room
Doom
Sega Bass Fishing
Super Mario Bros.
Super Mario Sunshine
LoZ: Link to the Past
Lol, I'm surprised the game keeps running during a trick like that.

That's an Easter egg? Never saw that before.
pretty much. also, if the all bosses run includes the DLC it could have been an issue of not being able to submit the run in time or practice it enough.
similar thing happened last year with Bloodborne.
The Duck Tales race is a must-see.

I wonder how many Floormasters have ruined Zelda speedruns
Ugh seems like Linkus will get a stern talking to after this run, hope he doesn't get banned for a small comment that he didn't think through fully (or didn't know would be offensive to some?) as he's has some great commentary and otehrwise have been an all around pleasent guy to watch.

For saying "fuck" earlier, or?

Which comment? The "you should go to bed?"
Using the word cosmo hop (name of the trick so don't know how that is deadnaming?) and misgendering narcissa in the past when she was Cosmo (Probably just didn't think it through or didn't know that trans people take offense with misgedndering even for describing something they did when they hadn't come out yet)
However I really feel that this might be twitter reaching a bit much but I don't know, just feels weird that people seems to have an outset that everything people is saying is malicious stuff and that they have ill intent.
Nah, he's sworn a couple times but no one has ever been banned for swearing it's just something you should try to not do.

I think he deadnamed/misgendered her a couple of times, but I doubt it was malicious/intentional- it's more likely he forgot and/or straight-up wasn't aware that Cosmo was now Narcissa, since I gathered that most of Narcissa's work in the WW scene was done back when she was Cosmo.
It shouldn't be for the trick since that's its name. He definitely called her Narcissa at another point of the run so I don't think there was any ill intent. I think he also said something like "previously Cosmo" since there are probably viewers that would recognize the name Cosmo but were unaware that she changed her name when she came out.
It's not me being outraged about it just saying what I saw on twitter :/
and yes your comment is pretty much what happened and what I took from it.
Sorry. I didn't think you were outraged about it. I was just adding my perspective on it.
God people are so messed up these days to go nuts about something like that.

rich people waited for the last day to donate
It took a few years but GDQ finally (accidentally?) appealed to gambling whales.
