The Traveler's Challenge Speed Run for Breath of the Wild

[@The8asement]

Thank you so much for accepting the challenge! We'll have the second half of our run up later today.

[@peterplaysbass]

This one was me :)

What's The Basement? ;)

Ted and Peter I love you guys!!!!!

[@The8asement]

@@icceix Thank you!

[@rafaelnrvl]

I recently traveled around the edge of Hyrule without teleporting, it was pretty cool and I discovered a lot of things I didn’t know were there. Also I fought a lot of lynels.

[@Tiny_24]

Will try that!

[@klauserji]

Probably the north region right ? The entrance is before you enter hebra region and the end is at north of eldin mountains where you found one of leviathan. When i first discovered it, that was amazing.

[@DylansDartsJourney]

Christyandi K also if you go to the stable in Hebra (or one of the stables I don’t know which but definitely not the rito stable right next to rito village) the leviathan is part of a side quest that I think you get payed money for! You might wanna check it out. All you have to do is get a *close* up picture of the leviathan and show it to that guy. (Hope this helps)

[@R1IY2N]

Dylan Forrest Plays its the serrene stable

[@MaliciousBeanie]

yeah agreed

[@The8asement]

17:09 plot twist: at the door? It was us.

[@ChiPandaAndKeegan]

Dun Dun Duuuuh!

[@LivingGuy484]

My favorite part of this was 17:04 "You're gonna have to overcome your fear and answer the door." "Maybe he'll go away." I dunno who this is, but that was probably the best response I've heard.

[@Arkrilok]

Oh, I thought this was going to be beating the whole game with only travelers equipment, lol.

[@celiac.8509]

That should be a part of it

[@loadingscreentips6135]

Me too!!

[@cooperchriston4261]

I've been playing the game without using any teleportation for a while now, in doing so, it really makes you appreciate the game more, and you see locations you never knew existed.

[@kamralb]

Cooper Christon agreed. I’ve loved finding new locations

[@Cyfrik]

I recently started the game over from the beginning. I intend to play through the main story with the simplified "pro" hud, without using fast travel or the map. (Well, to be precise, I am allowed to open the map when I'm in a village or at a tower, but not anywhere else.)

[@skullfire4599]

Dawn of the first day, 72 hours remain until smash.

[@braydenhale7336]

Is that a reference to Majora's Mask?

[@LuckyOwl_7]

This is just a game that never changes every time i come back to it its still a really fun game

[@lordneeko]

I'd love a game like BOTW which combines the mechanics within Link to the Past, where you can warp back and forth between the 1000 year war and the ravaged world of BOTW

[@Mistellesonn]

Oh my that would be so cool! Aonuma has recently said that they are working on a new zelda game that uses BOTW's engine but he was somewhat vague on whether the game would be a continuation of BOTW or if it would be a whole new game and world. I think that the past-present would be a really cool way to expand BOTW into a new game. If they bulked out the past that would be awesome, and I think they could expand the borders of Hyrule in the 'present' (after you defeat Ganon, perhaps Link and Zelda travel into the surrounding countries that currently set the boundary walls at the edges of the map).

[@RustyGreen21]

While watching this I found a shiny snorlax in let’s go I was using the ladder method I was terrified it was going to run but I got it!

[@josk8319]

I found a shiny snorlax and used my masterball on it while farming chanseys in cerulean cave

[@RustyGreen21]

Squilliam Supreme ha nice if I had another masterball I would of used it

They challenged mety!?!?!? We all know we are screwed...

[@The8asement]

We figured he wouldn't accept, but AUSTIN JOHN did, so maybe?!

[@robertbart411]

THE BASEMENT RESPONDED!!!! ( I just discovered u guys yesterday. Love the rag doll vids!)

[@The8asement]

hahaha yeah, we are a little worried about that one.

[@Mety333]

Lol i accepted the challenge and played it with an emphasis on fun. I made a video of course

[@arianlopez574]

No I like Mety better but I looked this up to hear him mention Mety

[@MikeCrazy]

Do this challenge on a new game right after receiving the Paraglider! It's more challenging, the map is blacked out and Link can only take one hit from most enemies!

[@Canwegettosubscribers-nk8nn]

I've been attempting an introvert challenge, where you can't talk to NPC's meaning you miss alot of armor, upgrades, armor upgrades and shrines, as well as no koroks or divine beasts. You could ban all shrines, but you don't actually talk to the monks, so you choose. The Great Plateau is of course different, but you must have minimal interactions with the old man.

[@walisyed1924]

this is going to be impossible. In order to save Yunobo (I dont know how its spelt), you have to go into the most hot place in the goron region. To go through that, you need full flamebreaker gear. Of course, when buying any armor, you have to talk to the person selling it, therefore you cant buy it. Unless you save enough food for the journey and heal your way through it, its pretty much impossible.

[@Canwegettosubscribers-nk8nn]

@@walisyed1924 I never said you free the divine beasts, that would force you to talk to too many people so you don't rely on champions powers. This gives it a little bit more challenge. Also you can't talk to great fairies.

[@nonares]

@@EnvisageIt Link does talk...

[@frostfire2722]

Can we get to 10,000 subscribers ????? This literally just a normal speedrun...

[@jaredovando5608]

17:23 & 20:16 just when you needed some Zelda physics in the worst moment 😂

[@Averagetunafish3683]

Yep that really sucks

[@popcornium3879]

I got bored and went all over hyrule without teleportation or mounts, and it only took 5 hours.....

[@thatcokestuff]

I've never used the horses and I rarely use the Master Cycle, idk why. Just love running around the map haha

[@DannySEP]

@@thatcokestuff Same. I feel like horses restrict me a lot and you have to be pretty close to them to call them which wastes time going back to them when you can just glide off a mountain. Plus, I climb a lot

[@xxBXTxx]

@@DannySEP unless you have the ancient saddle so they teleport to you

[@DannySEP]

@@xxBXTxx I don't have dlc

[@JonLucy_downunder]

You should a run using nothing but Traveller’s weapons, Soldier’s weapons, Knight’s weapons, Royal weapons, and Royal Guard weapons

[@The8asement]

that's a cool idea!

[@maevebutler5897]

I think twilight princess has the best dungeons

[@The8asement]

Some of the best of the 3D era are in Twilight Princess - agreed

[@haydenadams5975]
