Breath of the Wild with only bombs honestly had some insane strategies involved. Not a speedrun but oh so much fun.

Before anyone says it, it's impossible to beat Dark Beast Ganon without using Bullet-time. This playthrough was everything in the game UP TO Calamity Ganon.
What does no stamina mean? No stamina means: No climbing, no running, no swimming, no charging weapons, no taming horses (although there's a fun workaround for that one down below), etc. Anything that uses the green stamina bar is not allowed!
So Honestly, this run was not as hard as the no weapons/no bows/only bombs playthrough I did. There was more theorycrafting, cheese, and skill in that one, but this one had other challenges. For example:
How did you get out of the beginning area, the Shrine of Resurrection?
Yeah! You have to climb to get out. There was this video by Gamechamp3000 where he beat the game without climbing and found a really cool strategy to get out by pushing blocks. However, with a no-stamina challenge, I couldn't push blocks. I ended up having to clip out of the Shrine of Resurrection, navigate below the building in no-mans-land wihtout climbing, and clip back into the game. It was quite the ordeal and the opening cutscene was absolutely broken. It was hilarious
How did you get to the Bombs Shrine? It's surrounded by walls!
Metal doors and metal planks are your friend. I tried to use the metal door nearby to make a bridge, however it was too short. There's a metal plank intended for another puzzle in the lake by the Magnesis shrine, so I lugged that across the Great Plateau and it worked perfectly. I got out by teleporting back to Magnesis.
How did you get off the Great Plateau?
Fall damage cancelling! You don't take any damage falling from heights if you throw your weapon right as you're descending. If you let go of the throw animation almost before you hit the ground and then open your quick-menu to change weapons (and change weapons) you take no damage! It's a lot easier than I make it sound through text. I highly recommend you check out the video if you want to replicate it.
How did you get a horse?
So getting a horse isn't required in the least, but I thought I might go over something most people don't know about the game. You don't have to tame horses that bokoblins ride. If you knock the enemy off their horse, you can get on without having to tame it!
Those were mainly the struggles. Once you're out of the Great Plateau, it's incredibly easy to get anywhere. You don't need to climb to get to Hyrule Castle, to get the Ancient Shield, the Hylian Shield, or any incredible weapons. The only combat-invasive part of the challenge was no running. There were a lot of close-calls since I couldn't dodge some of the Blight's attacks in time (looking at you, Thunderblight). Tons of fun, and totally recommend this challenge to anyone if you want to spice up the difficulty for BOTW :)

Breath of the Wild but Link has reasonable side effects from a hundred years of stasis
-
"Gonna switch to a royal claymore because I have like a million" The botw experience in a nutshell
-
Old Man: do you intend to enter the castle and face Ganon? Link: it'll be a walk in the park Old Man: Ah-ha-ha, I think it'll be a bit harder than-- Link: IT WILL BE A WALK IN THE PARK
-
“You can’t catch a horse without stamina” Looks like someone’s never stolen a Bokoblin’s horse
-
In case anyone is wondering, stealing a horse from bokoblin riders won't take stamina
-
>gamechamp >spends hours pushing a crate to get out of the shrine of resurrection to avoid climbing >pointcrow >glitches under the shrine to get out in a couple of minutes
-
"Im not ending the stream until we finish this run" Run? I think you mean walk
-
I once was exploring hebra mountains and I got softlocked/stuck inside a mountain. Me and my gf spent like half an hour trying to get out until i remembered you could just teleport out. That was fun
-
Its so cool that BOTW gives you the ability to come up with such creative solutions.
-
Out of this whole challenge I found you not being able to sprint at enemies to attack them the funniest part by far
-
at 19:50 I literally thought "Why doesnt he just use his spin attack?" and I felt like an IDIOT because its A NO STAMINA CHALLENGE!
-
"Can you beat Breath of the Wild without stamina?" no "Thank you for watching!"
-
Can't wait for someone to hopefully disprove that bullet time is required at end of it is somehow not.
-
13:38 "did you activate the hatena shrine?" LFMAOOOOO one of the best parts of this video 🤣
-
I love how eric casually tries to commit arson in the windmill of the village 13:14
-
Saved all of Hyrule without breaking a sweat. A true hero.
-
Link, but he’s too lazy
-
Why does it always start raining during the blue flame quests?
-
"this is how you get off clifts" *fucking dies"
-
When I started watching this video I thought, "Oo there must be a glitch to beat Dark Beast Ganon without using stamina for bullet time." I wish I was there on stream to warn him from the future.
