40 NEW Ways to Play The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild | Austin John Plays

I wanted to see a regular person run. Where you have to sit down and eat three meals a day(maybe a snack or two in between). And going to sleep(or rest at a fire) every night. Only explore during the day. Perhaps take it even further and no healing unless it's meal time. Or having to physically wait until day, no resting at a fire. Only sleep in beds.

"Play the game without any armor upgrades" Me: beat Ganon and almost all 120 shrines not realizing armor could be upgraded

Or another challenge: everything is forbidden. Just stay in the shrine of resurrection forever

Ravioli's Galioli is now ready

Watching him dump all those good weapons/gear on the ground literally made me anxious

32nd anniversary. It’s already 2049? HOW LONG HAVE I BEEN HERE?!

Idea: whenever theres a bloodmoon, drop your entire inventory

Realistic Challenge! Life rules: Try to be as realistic as possible. You have to eat at least one meal everyday and sleep at night, sleeping at a fire is only ok if no bed is available. You also have to feed your horse, sand seal, or other random animal. If you’ve been traveling for a long time then you need to rest for a bit (includes traveling on horseback or surfing). You aren’t allowed to fast travel. If you die it’s over and you have to restart from the beginning of the game. You can attempt any shrine, quest, divine beast, battle, etc... just beware that not everything is possible, and certainly not easy! Play with pro interface. Use of Sheikah Slate (runes) is optional. If you want to go true and only use it to get off the plateau, go ahead. If you prefer to see it as your only advantage, that’s fine as well. Using the map is always allowed, though you can go without it if you desire. Food rules: Fairy tonics are treated the same as elixirs. You can only eat food just as you cook it and cannot hoard items or ingredients. You can’t eat more than 3 meals at once since you get full. You can carry up to six elixirs if you’re not making them on the on the spot. You can drink as many elixirs as you want, since they’re about the size of two shot glasses. Fighting rules: Fairies are allowed for revival, and you can have as many as you want. You can only hold two weapons, or three if they are small, you aren’t allowed to use flurry rush or bullet time since normal people can’t do that; no champion abilities. Dodges and parries are allowed but you can’t flurry rush. Upgrading clothing is ok but you can only carry 3 extra armor pieces in addition to what you’re wearing (you can only switch them out once a day). You cannot switch armors during battles but can drink elixirs (same rules as one of them in the video). If you get hit directly you have to recover. Anything I missed about being a normal person? I’m going to try to do this myself and see just how difficult a regular life is.

6:59 “No Shields.” This is what a person agrees to when they get Daruk’s Protection and over estimates it’s power.

Alright I'm doing a naked vegan sticks-only run.

Super pro mode actually really helps you appreciate the size of the world. People always teleport around the place making everything seem connected but when you have to spend 10min on horseback to get anywhere it feels so much more alive

This is a late comment, but I came up with a great playthrough idea I've dubbed: One Armour Class Fits All! Key point: -You only choose 1 class type of armour set for a complete playthrough (e.g. Full Hylian Set or Hylian Hood+Trousers+Champion's Tunic, Full Snowquill Set, Full Ancient Set). All other sets are locked out of your playthrough much like a class system. -Default armour set when undecided is your Old Clothes via Shrine of Resurrection. -All other environmental and combat benefits are only obtainable via Food, Tonics and Weapons unless benefits are achieved through armour class (e.g. Snowquill Set for Cold Resistance). -Armour upgrading is allowed. -In the case of Zora Questline, Zora Tunic is allowed to complete quest. Cease use afterwards unless part of chosen Class. -Gerudo Vai Set is the only exception to owning a secondary set. -All one piece armour sets are banned. Meaning no Warm Doublet, Jewelry, Thunder Helm ect. -Amiibo Armour sets count as Class types. -DLC Armour set counts as Class Types. -This idea can pair nicely with Mono-Weapon Idea and Single Weapon Class Idea. This is optional.

I have an excellent idea for a Breath of the Wild run: I don't know what to call it, but essentially, it requires you to become the Link you were 100 years ago (the one from the flashbacks and cutscenes). To put simply: - The only outift you can wear is the Champion's Shirt and the Hylian Trousers. Until you can get them, you can wear the old ratty outfit you get at the start (since this is before you realize you're the Link from a long time ago). This of course means you will have to make good use of climate-guarding food. - You can only use one-handed swords. Only swords (no clubs, boomerangs, torches or whatever). And once you can access it, you must get the Master Sword, and only use that whenever you can. - No bows or shields. Obvious exception is the Bow of Light for the final boss. - For story purposes, you have to uncover the memories in chronological orders (1-18, plus the DLCs if you have it). You have to do this if you want the Champion's Shirt. - For fun, you have to stay focused on your goal to save Zelda: you must go straight to your next goal (be it for a story mission or a memory, i.e. after getting the memory of Revali, you will have to do the Vah Medoh dungeon). You can do shrines along the way, but no going out of your way for them. - No fast travel. You have to rely on your own two feet, and a horse. - For more fun, this should be on Master Mode, and with Pro HUD. - No amiibo. What do you think?

Here's a challenge: It's just a normal play through, however, every time you enter a shrine, you must complete it. You are not allowed to leave, and if you do, you are forfeiting the shrine orb forever as you are not allowed back in. Also, if you fail the shrine by dying, you must leave the shrine. The only exceptions to this are the Great Plateau shrines (obviously) and the two Dueling Peaks shrines that require you to use both of them to solve each other's shrine.

Can't believe botw is 32 years old today

I already did the no horse one, I went through the entire game and didn't get a horse till I saw one getting attacked and I saved him and named him kevin

Old man: we’re all dead what is Link doing?

Here’s one that I’ve done: For anyone who’s neglected to complete the Hyrule Compendium, start a new playthrough where that’s your one and only goal, and you can’t buy any of the pictures. Everything you do is in service of getting all those photographs. And make sure you’re playing on Master Mode so you can get those gold enemies. It really changes the way you play the game.

I have another idea, I call it 'botw link'. As soon as you have the chance get the Master Sword, the Champions Tunic and the Hylian Trousers and use that ONLY for the rest of the game.
