BotW: Trial of the Sword Master Mode No Damage

I've also done speedrun of this on Twitch: / 160609715
I recorded videos separately for those 3 levels, not in one sitting :p
This is no damage challenge but also played like speedrun.
Using 30 mins +3 attack meal. Dragon's horn makes 30 mins duration for meals.
I edited and cut out loading screen from the video.

If this guy controlled Link when the Calamity happened there would be no game.

[@fade2535]

Also even if Link was that skilled Gannon couldn’t be sealed because Zelda didn’t have her power

[@zh7334]

They still would've failed.

[@geo5378]

The past linked killed like a hoard of every enemy at once

[@zh7334]

@@geo5378 Yup, past Link was a powerhouse. He killed 3 white Lynels and a load of Bokoblins.

[@fade2535]

Chromosome Nine and Three Quarters uhhh...Gannon reincarnates over and over whenever the spirit of the hero and the blood of the goddess are present...sealing him is the best bet to make sure that he dosen’t reincarnate and cause chaos in another life. That’s what happens in twilight princess, he dies to link and then reincarnates in 4 swords adventure, so he has to be sealed after the master sword deals the final blow so he can’t come back, and in the beginning Zelda didn’t have the sealing power required to seal Gannon so they were boned. Plus calamity Gannon without the 100 year vessel was only a spirit and become a spirit after dark beast Gannon is beaten, leaving him wide open to being sealed

[@Trist797]

You know what? Im Fine with the master sword doin just 30 damage.

[@uwuchildofdoom4208]

Tristana Kazame big mood

[@coo4203]

I’m fine with it doing 50 Edit: I completed it

[@CommanderBly5052]

It took me like 6 tries to do the final trials on normal mode... yep not doing them on master mode

[@ZionKid95]

@@CommanderBly5052 It took me like 10 tries to finish the first trial (i actually killed even the last boss the first time, but then i accidentially killed myself with bombs and then the 3 lizalfos always got me), 2 to finish the second and one to do the 3rd trial. But i wasn't doing the second and third one blind, so i had an advantage

[@benjaminkuhl72]

Tristana Kazame Have you tried shield clipping? If you haven’t it can take awhile but if you have some patience and time it would work. It took me about 2 hours to master it

[@PixeledBrain]

Imagine doing all of this and then falling to the abyss at the end

[@Lemonaidz7]

When I did it I was so cautious of falling I did it as slow as I could

[@PixeledBrain]

Yeah I did the same, I wonder what happens though... Haha

[@mirrahman2164]

You just take a half heart of damage (I think) and you are returned to the bridge. I threw myself off to see what would happen on my first go.

[@rymetalgod2150]

imagine having half a heart left then falling off xD

[@PupusaBoy]

My switch crashed as I completed the last floor :) :) :) :)

[@andre_601]

Am I the only one that really enjoys that little detail of Link holding his foot from pain when he kicks a chest without wearing any shoes? It's such a small thing but I really love that Nintendo put it into the game.

[@kevinm2755]

thank god for showing that lzalfos trick i was about to throw in the towel

[@user-sn1hi7my7x]

I know what you mean. I've been trying forever to find a good strat for that. All the times I wanted to break my controller losing on that

[@hommedelombre9948]

Same... without that trick i'm sure it's not really possible to complete this stage.

[@kevinm2755]

actually im 100 % sure it not possible, i feel like they didn't balance out the trial for master mode its kinda broken sometimes.

[@user-sn1hi7my7x]

I've come to the conclusion that the Beginning trials are harder than the middle and hard trials. The Lizalfos wouldn't be that bad if they didn't regenerate health after you knock them in the water.

[@clyffblackfyre9046]

I used the thunder rod when I got them in the water

[@AQDuck]

Just beat the Beginner Trials on normal mode and was so proud of myself... Keyword: *was*

@@XoJIJIoY screw you

[@MissMoontree]

Sameeeee. I died in level 6 already or so the first tries. Level 10 took me ages!

[@obamaorb7426]

@@XoJIJIoY You seem like that one guy that nobody wants to invite to a party but does because they feel sorry for you

[@TMadara]

Thanks bro. This guide helped me finally get through the beginning trials. Best guide of the trial of sword by far.

[@ericduminil]

Thank you a million times for the 10th Floor strategy. It worked perfectly. For the other floors, well, I couldn't even manage to walk on the branch in the 1st floor.

[@dinethliyanage]

At the end, I was like "But wasn't there supposed to be a Lynel...?" And then I re-winded and realized he Ancient Arrowed him

[@Hikarixhikarixhikari]

I have learned so much just from this silent no hit play through what the fuck I love it bless this

[@honestinsincerity2270]

Man I can't believe that sneak attack trick with the lizalfos on level 10 works. Do they have the memory of a goldfish? Or does turning around wipe the hard drive for lizards in Hyrule?

[@sk8_bort]

They have a blind spot just below their heads, its pretty sad XD

[@harmonicposting]

Well, they are based on lizards after all. Either way, yes it is hilariously sad lol

[@fattireale75]

Without that superstrike technique, that lizalfo room might be impossible. I saw another video where a guy used the lightning rod to freeze one then had to switch weapons, hit him three times instead of 4 to not knock the lizalfo off, the switch back to the rod. I couldn’t do it; had to master the sneak attack. I finally get past that room then the hinox sits on me. 😂

[@happyheart]

Why do you kind of pick around the food items when you want the arrows? Isn't it easier to just spam A when you get near the pile of items?

[@sva161620]

i guess you meant at 18:36 and yes, i could do it but sometimes there are weapons over them so i always don't spam A just by habit.

[@pillowsoft4444]

That one part where he kept freezing the horse was a godlike strategy

[@visualcreativemt]

I would have to give props to this man. His strategy allowed me to complete this in Master Mode. Still I got handed down a few times, but I still knew what to do. Thanks a lot for the strategy :)

[@Mrwonderpaul]

Finished the trial but then I realized I’ve been playing the wrong way! Omg what a beast. Best guide so far! You’re awesome good sir.

[@tiotito31]

It drives me crazy how he doesn't grab some good weapons. My looting OCD is going haywire watching this. Just grab it, you have enough space for it!

[@sva161620]

because i played like speedrun as i said. getting them takes more time, having a lot of weapons is annoying.

[@ChibiZone]

You don't carry any weapons you find out if the trials. He only takes essentials also in order to trim down the tone of the run.

[@ChibiZone]

Time*

[@lantern214]

Less is more. :)

[@Ridmouse]

I love how later on in the trial, you just dump a ton of weapons in a pile because you're not going to need them and they are a pain to sort through. Totally bad ass.

[@pixelhidef]

At 9:00 minutes, i became enraged! Not even imaginable.

[@AcridDread]

I just beat the beginning trials. To those who struggled with it as hard as I did. If you're able to kill the first two guys, and you somehow startle the third. Block most the fight and make sure to only hit him when he's in front of the spine wall thing and he'll just fall back and hit that instead of falling into the water. Took me about 10 min just to kill him like this since he was constantly falling in, but eventually I got him and now I can sleep soundly knowing I never have to experience that level again in my life. Edit: Thank you so much for your badassness man, you have made me such a better player analyzing your gameplay. Cheers 😊

[@justsomeonehere1653]

I’ve looked at every other guide so I could beat this and it didn’t help until I saw this one. Finally passed TOTS on master mode thanks to you. 😀

[@diegoaguilar1954]

Using speedrunner tricks for good runs, as always you do 👍

[@SuperWarriorfan1]

This is so great! Got hit (a lot), but with the the help of the video, I was able to complete the sword trials on master mode. Bonus points for style, too. Thanks!

[@janograhf]

Finally finished the final trial using this guide!! Had 4 hearts and 3 stamina wheel. 5 durian and 40 min attavk buff helped. I finished around 40 mins. Thank you for posting this video

[@TheManginger]

Thank you so much sir. I followed every step you did and was wonderful. Just completed the trial in master mode with 12 hearts. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@melian9999]

You know its next level when your not picking up weapons, cooking food, skipping chests. Lots of hreat strategies in here, next fucking level

[@lastbreath1154]

Majorly impressive.

[@allgoodnamesaregone0]

Everybody here's saying how helpful this is and I can't even pull off the first sneak attack in the very first room, keep falling out of the tree. This entire guide is razor thin precision and if you can follow this guide, you probably never needed it anyway.

[@jacoblesandrini2511]

Impressive stuff SVA! I've watched this 3 times now and it hasn't gotten any less remarkable.

[@KavenZheng]

Hats down. I wouldn't have been able to beat this trial in master mode without your video! And after all, I had only 1 min of attack boost left...

[@Origenist_1986]

Thank. I thought it was impossible to get through. With your help, I succeeded. Learned a lot of game mechanics.

[@swordoftheend_]

Watched this to help me with normal mode lol

[@BigLepordy1242]

Thank you so much! I’ve tried this on master mode a couple of times and never got past floor 4 of the beginning. Watched this (and reviewed floor by floor) and finished both the middle and beginning in one try! I’m hoping I can do the final trials too

[@nox873]

This is absolutely crazy!!! OMG! And he doesn't even scavenge, not even when the weapons were right beside him! Is this really the trail that I died to a million times???

[@dodgersat-at]

I'd say the trickiest part about this is the precision he did on the FIRST ROOM of the BEGINNING TRIALS.

[@KippeiW]

The Guardian arrow can do WHAT!?!?

[@xxlinkman456xx]

OswaldNoKishi yep. Same reaction. I died on that lynel twice before figuring that out

[@SkyeStormChmp]

OswaldNoKishi it banishes every normal ennemie into oblivion only bosses(like stone talus and hinox or blight ganons) arent one shotable. guardians are one shotable but only if you hit their eye.(i dont know what happens to guardian scouts the ones in shrines)

[@SkyeStormChmp]

i dont know what happens to yiga clan members either

[@jjdpr]

The little guardians survive Ancient Arrows while the big ones are shotable, which is pretty stupid. I guess that's why Nintendo didn't put Ancient Arrows in the middle Trail, because people would just spam them in the last two floors and speedrun through them. I wouldn't have any problem in using them in the freaking floor 10 with the Lizalfos though.

[@iratus4065]

OswaldNoKishi it's called a ancient arrow and they one shot (almost) everything

[@Johnny2Feathers]

Suddenly the Eldin memory cut scene ddoesn’t seem far fetched in the least

[@rymetalgod2150]

I tried defeating them lizalfos on the first trial for like forever. I then see this VERY simple method of chain sneak attacking. I was like WTF!!!!!! Good going man you did well! :)

[@stephensauls6534]

Truly excellent. Thank you for this superb video. I beat the trial of the sword on master mode thanks to you :))

[@mrerock2117]

I think I’ve spent 100 hrs trying to get the master sword on master mode and I just got to level 9! Thanks for the tip about circling around!! Can’t wait to try it;)

[@Oyasimio]

Thx Dude you inspired me to end this trial, I took some of your estrategies to end it, you are a legend

[@danielsvideography1904]

I didn't think that extra hearts or stamina or buffs can follow you into the trials. Big thanks for the battle strategy tips on the more stupid (easily fooled) enemies like that "walking around to the other side to set up a sneakstrike".

[@garygarside9782]

thanks for the tips! i definitely would not have got past the lizfols room, and the ancient arrows in the lava helped finaly did it!!

[@jackson5116]

Damn! I only made it through the first 9 rooms with no damage taken. Nice job!!

[@TheAnjelHarte]

The repeated sneak strike technique on the lizalfos..... I’m across an ocean from my switch but I have GOT to figure out how to do that

[@Augnos]

If i finish my trial of the sword this weekend because of this, i am eternally grateful.

[@PleasantLeech]

Is it just me or is the beginning trial the hardest? I beat the final one on my first try yet the first one took quite a long time. Mainly those two silver lizalfos.

[@weslyacnl8121]

yes the silver lizard dock area is the hardest if it wasnt for this vid and the mighty dragon horn banana meal it wouldnt have been possible

[@weslyacnl8121]

just buy the four razor shrooms inside the deku tree store and cook with any dragon horn shard and eat before enteting trial to get 3x up Attack for 30 mins

[@theunchosenone6807]

[@xXVegetaXx]

Dude what in the fuck this is some god level playing

[@jerp]

i tried doing what you did in the beginning trials and it went great! it took me 25min because of the bokoblins in 4 and 5 but apart from that it was smooth

[@gothxm]

A video that would be cool is a behind the scenes of what it took to get to this result. Every failure and all the practice. Edited and condensed for time. To see that progress would be cool.

[@derpaderp5231]

When you beat the normal trials with half a heart only to see some KZbinr destroy the master trials no damage

[@TheAileZX2]

These crazies need to reward you a Master Club and a Master Spear for all that. x-x (I know, lore lore lore but still.)

[@TheAileZX2]

With that said though, a Master Club or Master Smasher would be OP and look really cool. A broad, flat slab of Master Metal on a hilt that you could spin at the worst enemies with ease.

TheAileZX2 No, all he needs is the Master Torch.
