Linus would eventually begin speedrunning and create a Speedrun.com account in 2014 at the age of 15. At first he streamed random Nintendo Games before starting to really focus on Zelda games (since it was his favorite franchise). He is most active in the Wind Waker, Twilight Princess, and Breath of the Wild speedrun communities.

His oldest videos are old personal bests of the various speedruns he did. He would also start uploading tips for The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker speedrunning, Pokémon shiny hunting videos, and clips from his streams.
His channel started to gain more popularity when he started to upload commentaries that focused on his own and other people's speedruns. He would also start uploading challenge videos such as randomizers, no hit runs, and glitchless runs. These videos alongside his speedrun records and tutorials are now what he mainly uploads.

Linus was released a few hours later as it turned out nothing fatal was happening. According to Linus, he had a blood clot in his leg that started to get painful during the stream. Due to the troubled breathing, he was worried that a clot was dislodged and moved near his lungs, which could be fatal. Evidently, this didn't happen as Linus turned out healthy.
