The military may have perished 100 years ago, but one soldier still remains. Can he climb the ranks by helping the survivors of Hyrule, and clear the calamity for good? I hope you all enjoy the run!!

All the footage was taken from my Twitch playthrough of this the other week, so feel free to check out my page there for more fun playthroughs and runs!! www.twitch.tv/crotonzelda

    "I didn't hear no bell." - Link, the last soldier of Hyrule's Army as he faces Calamity Ganon to finish the mission in the name of his kingdom after 100 years.

    This is basicaly Link but he never became the Bodyguard of Zelda and that honestly sounds like an awsome thing! Gonna be a good watch!
  • For the last challenge run Croton does, it could be called the Retirement/Adventure’s run. The requirements are just to get the Hylian armor, buying the house in Hanato, and befriending all the dogs on the map. And if fighting is necessary, only “tools” like the axes/pot lids/laddles are allowed.
  • The year is 2023. It has been like, 6 years since the release of Breath of The Wild. 6. Years. And yet, we still find all this cool stuff to do in it. Cool secrets to explore, fun challenges, wonderful environment that almost never gets old. BoTW is truly a masterpiece. This sequel better be GoTY material.

    One of the things I love most from these themed runs are, of course, the matching aesthetic, but also the slight lore you put into them; it really creates a good distinction between a simple challenge and a story! The additional touch of helping all travelers and not allowing yourself to use knight gear until the end makes these so much more interesting! Even the horse Jousting fit so well in the theme, that was amazingly fun to watch! :_CrotonHype::_CrotonPOG:
  • @FSEThompson
    I'm obsessed with how much of a personality your horse has in this he's such a wild one. The horse is playing its own kind of challenge run beyond the ken of mortal man
  • My headcanon for this run is that here Link kept all his memories up until before his promotion to Zelda’s bodyguard and Champion. Maybe even the cutoff point being when he first obtained the Master Sword.
  • @brianpstern
    400 hours in BOTW and never knew about the secret path to the Great Fairy 53:42😵 loving all the sound effects in the edit for this video!
  • I really like this one compared to the others, I love seeing more of the normal gameplay, as opposed to just the divine beasts. I would love to see more videos like this one.
  • @RobbieAudet
    Your loyalty to joust… a true knight of Hyrule.
  • This is such a fun way of playing the game! I love the ideas you come up with Croton. :D
  • It is kinda weird that even if you did managed to save each travelers from monsters, you still have somewhat of a hidden time limit whether they give you an item reward or not. Or if they did the final blow to the enemy, you won't get the reward. These things are one of the neat details I like about BotW's over world. Thanks again for the excellent challenge run Croton! 👏🏽👏🏽 👍🏽
  • @alexhiind
    Rewatching these challenge runs since I'm doing my first Master mode playthrough! These videos are so fun and help me find more resources (even after years of 100%ing my first save file and doing various other runs), thank you for doing what you do Croton ❤
  • Another great addition to the challenge run series. Feels weird that this is one of the last BOTW runs before TOTK comes out on May 12th. Continue to make great-quality content Croton. ❤
  • I think my number one wish for Tears of the Kingdom is for its final boss to have a wide variety of different versions, with one being chosen for you to fight based on how you played the game and what you did or didn't do. It'd make challenge runs like these a lot more interesting and just generally add replayability to the one part of the game that lacks it.
  • @sledgen.
    watching this on stream was awesome, the themed run videos are always so creative!
  • Having recently done a run of this game in Master Mode where I rushed to the castle with the Phantom Armor and only the weapons the castle had to offer, I've really mastered to attacks of the Ganons! Anyone who hasn't tried fighting them all in a row with 3 hearts really should try it!
