Video summary
Press to jump
- 3:32Speed appears in a Portugal number 7 jersey and asks chat to spam Portuguese flags.
- 7:45He turns off text-to-speech donations after viewers troll him about Ronaldo's retirement.
- 12:16He plays Ronaldo's farewell video "Obrigado", a letter read in Portuguese.
- 17:34Speed rests his head in his hands and puts on music from Naruto.
- 18:35He thanks Ronaldo directly and reminds viewers he will keep playing club football.
The title promises Hyrule, but the first stop is Lisbon. IShowSpeed comes on camera in a red Portugal shirt with the number 7, pacing around his chair and asking chat to fill the screen with Portuguese flags. He is in no mood for jokes. When text-to-speech donations start teasing him about Messi, he switches them off: "Ronaldo just retired and y'all making jokes, bro? He just retired from Portugal, bro!"
He then plays Ronaldo's farewell video, "Obrigado" ("Thank you"), in which the forward reads a letter about his 23 years with the national team. Speed watches with his head in his hands, puts on music from Naruto, and speaks straight to the lens: "Thank you, Ronaldo. If ain't nobody told you already: thank you!" He also reminds viewers that Ronaldo is leaving Portugal's team, not club football.
Only then does the game begin, and it runs for hours. A viewer's list of timestamps puts the first boss fight near the two-hour mark and the last almost four hours later. Its names, Gohma, King Dodongo and Barinade, are the bosses of Ocarina of Time's first three dungeons.
The comment section reads like a welcome from longtime players. Several compare watching Speed discover the game with their own first time on the Nintendo 64, one notes that he kept playing while the live numbers were low, and others are already asking him to pick it up again the next day.
The stream has drawn about 3.6 million views, and its likes are already past what his long streams usually gather in a full first day.
