Beating Breath of the Wild with a Single Bow

THIS CHALLENGE WAS CURSED YOU CAN FEEL THE FRUSTRATION. The blue flame quests were so much harder than you think. Also, this whole challenge was cursed-- rain when we needed to cook, our horse dying, Thunderblight not behaving, etc.
Whew what a fun Breath of the Wild challenge though

The box does more damage than most weapons (it has 100 attack), and can also block most attacks much more easily than a shield can, all with no durability.

i have a very long challange for you. Rules 1. No heart containers 2. One weapon (of choice) you can use for fights 3. No extra hearts, so non of those yellow monstrosities (except from mipha, because she's trustable) 4. must beat all divine beasts 5. NO CAMPING IN A TOWN OR VILLAGE. Objective? Play as long as you can without dying, to get the opposite of a speedrun, i call it the LongWalk if you die, you can try to save the run by beating ganon, with the weapon of choice, only problem, you can't restore the durability, so if it isn't a freshly bugged weapon, it will break during the fight have fun ;)
