[@dynosgarcia7645]

Everyone says that this video being out in 2025 makes it refreshing, but I think what truly makes it refreshing is the lack of glitches like BLSS, fall damage cancel or BTB

[@Croton]

My reasoning: I never learned how to do any of these in the first place 😂 windbombs and the damaging horseback spear spin are my go to glitches, because they feel like intended game mechanics and don't look out of place

[@john_mystery]

I know you already get enough of these, but I have an idea for a run. Rusted gear only. Allowing them to be refreshed with rock octorocks would be up to you but I think it’s an interesting concept

[@wonder2002]

I hate to be a rat about it, but I'm going to repost my ideas for runs just because I do want them to be seen. But I believe this'll be the last time I post them. 1. Beat Totk as the Hero of The Sky Do the Quest Line where you fix the Giant Goddess statue and gain the Goddess Sword Do the Zelda Spottings Quest Line (as that is basically how Skyward Sword goes with the dowsing) Not allowed to use the Frog Set reward tho Only Equipment that resemble the ones in Skyward Sword are allowed (For example, the Wooden Shield; Wooden Shield, Knights Shield; Iron Shield, and Zora Shield; Sacred Shield) Outfit must be fully upgraded, and get the Goddess Fabric for the glider (that might just be the challenge of getting lucky from the Amiibo tho) Maybe stick primarily to the Sky? (Idk, you spend most of Skyward Sword on the ground anyways) 2. Beat Totk as the Hero of The Wind Get the Hero of Winds Set, and the Red Lion Sail Fabric Do all Luralin related quests, as well as all of the Pirate Events Complete the Labyrinth on the water in the Top Right corner of the map, forgot it's name (and maybe their sky and depths equivalents if you wish) And, here's the interesting part, you must stay primarily by the coast. You CAN leave, but if you do, you must save and set a time limit for how long you're out, if you're out past that you must reload the save and do what you were trying to all over again. 3. Beat TotK under the influence of Majoras Mask before the first Blood Moon You stick to primarily to the Depths ("Underworld" as its thought that Termina is a sort of "Death Dimension", its a whole narrative trope thing, the channel Tale Foundry has an interesting video on it) in this challenge as much as you can, and are allowed to use some gear from any of the possible mask transformations in Majoras mask. So that includes Zora and Goron gear, and potentially Korok gear as Deku stand-ins?? Armor can include Hero of Time stuff, maybe Dark Link stuff for being "deeper" under the influence, and potentially even all Fierce Deity armor if you wanna do a "breaking free" thing. But the mask must always stay on (unless you go for the Fierce Deity stuff) I added the Dark Link and Fierce Deity stuff as a possibility as an impromptu narrative weaved into the run might make for a more interesting watch, instead of just the pretending/sticking to a bit sort of thing you play around with on stream/in videos. 4. Dragon Runs for TotK Farosh, Dinreal, Nydra individual runs. With each one, you must stick to gear from their associated regions. As well as their armor sets and fully upgrade them Farosh Run: Faron Region Dinreal Run: Eldin Region Naydra Run: Lanayru Region MAYBE a Light Dragon run, it has no associated armor, so maybe, as the dragon is Zelda, you can use the Royal Guard set. The defender and savior of her majesty, freeing her from her curse! (Idk lol). As she has no associated area, maybe stick to sky gear, or maybe castle gear, or both honestly, I think both work. 5. Satori Run for TotK Get the Satori Armor and fully upgrade it, and only use gear from caves PLUS anything on Satori Mountain, as well as get all the Bubbl Gems 6. Depths Only Run The Depths, though expansive, are limited, as a Bloodmoon doesn't trigger down there (I think). There is ONE cooking pot in all of the Depths, so cooking and potions are possible down there. You must get the Miner and Gloom Sets as well as get all the legendary gear down there Honestly, if you ever need ideas, I'm down to help! Like honestly, these types of things I honestly love to think up. Once again, I think this is the last time I will be posting these specific ideas anyway Have a good day Croton!

I have 2 challenge run ideas. First is "The original run" using only the sword "Sword" the original shield which I think is the shield from Wind Waker Armor of The Hero armor the most simple bow you can get, get the master sword, you can only use the bomb rune UNLESS its mandatory to use another rune and you must break every pot around the map, and boomerangs (Sea breeze boomerang is optional because it would be cool) and the Link run, you can only get stuff Link got from other zelda games for example Hylian sheild or the lobster shirt you can get with DLC Also love ur vids!

[@Nat_the_Chicken]

This is a bit less thought-out than I expected, but still a fun watch. It's funny that you know exactly what's in all the chests and all the damage/HP values, but never noticed things like the inside of Rudania always being safe from the heat, and clearly never watched an All Dungeons speedrun where they always get the first terminal in the dark (and crouch through the tiny hole in that one door). It's fun to watch you figure these types of things out as you go, and gives the run more flavor. Kind of a "casual expert" vibe.

[@Croton]

Revisiting the game over a year later definitely made me forget a few details, but it was still fun to overcome!! I haven't actually watched an all dungeons speedrun before you're right, I've learned a lot through just playing the game in different ways + things my audience tells me about, so it's always made it very fresh and exciting to revisit! I'm happy you enjoyed the video, thank you 😄

Go into the ball deposit area and stand against the part that spins. There is a section of floor that moves as well. 5. Detonate the second bomb. You're now back on top! 6.

There are some enemies that when you defeat them and they drop their weapon, you only have a couple of seconds to pick it up, otherwise, it will despawn when the enemy does.

The reason the glitch works with Magnesis is because when Link and the metal object are touching the same thing, it gives Link infinite weight. It is on oversight because they didn’t want you to be able to push objects with Magnesis so they put all the weight for the object onto Link.
