Hrm. Finally ran into a playthrough that looks promising. Done by a critter that's... D-something baamonde. Vids can be found with a search for "zelda speedrunner wild 100%" probably sans quotes. Might rustle up a link in the morning, but it's currently half past midnight and I ain't gon screw around with url tags right now.
Only seven vids to it (so far? I only just finished the first), but the shortest one clocks in at three and a half hours and there's a total of about 52 hours worth of footage. Meanders a lot, but... in a good way, and even after being awake for 24+ hours the guy was pretty on top of things for someone just starting to play. Fairly painless to watch, which is generally just about all I really ask for from gameplay footage. Notable bit of casual vulgarity but generally manages to come off as pretty chill even when the first go at a rock giant bugger ended up squishing him for like fifteen, twenty minutes straight. Every once in a bit there's even some interesting commentary from someone eyeballing the game for speedrun potential, too, which is kinda' neat.
Dunno if I'd recommend it entirely, yet, but if anyone was looking for vids that are at least somewhat more competent than the streamer/LPer norm, it might be worth a check. Gods know it's always something I'm looking for when it comes to games I probably won't play but enjoy watching, and BotW is kinda' freaking amazing just to watch, especially when the person playing is doing an a'ight job of poking around.
