There are 23 Goron weapons on the map - and this is our 23rd Zelda challenge run....there is no such thing as a coincidence 🤭 kzbin.info/aero/PLAjULYyNSE9b_sOPHRYmwip6WJCvKEbXO

@@CrotonAs you should. The Drillshaft’s obviously the most effective weapon. (I’m not kidding I spent so long using every single drillshaft I had it my inventory to kill one white lynel and I think I need mental help).

[@hiilikepizza3197]

@@Crotonyou should try some of these challenges in totk

[@Preston_64.]

I really think that these challenge runs work way better in BotW because of the weapons mostly. But I’m not saying I don’t like fuse, it is just that in BotW the weapons are just more pure I guess

[@Croton]

That's why I love BotW runs too!! Still I've been loving Tears runs just as much, because they feel like a massive remix on what was established in BotW (Gerudo run was awesome in both games!)

[@andymajor4963]

[@Reaktron88]

Fuse makes an already complicated game even more complicated

[@supotter377]

@@Reaktron88Yeah I honestly don’t like fuse since it makes every weapon be super bad until you make it ugly with a dumb horn or something. It also makes the race specific gear feel pointless

[@evansyoutube6214]

They are definitely more pure in botw

Windblight was like, “You fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders! The most famous of which is, 'never get involved in a land war in Asia,' but only slightly less well-known is this: 'Never bring a sharp rock stick to a gun fight!’” And then died like Vizzini.

[@NutsDude]

Croton, I have a really good idea. So everyone loves these “can you beat botw with ???” Series, and a type of these series is beating canon with hero/trailer armor. You know how in the trailer link always wear champions tunic, hylia trousers, and travelers shield, sword, and bow. You should do one with only those. And master sword is allowed as well since it’s in the trailer equipped by link for once😊

[@Chubby_Bub]

I'm glad to still see Breath of the Wild, because TotK is great but it doesn't diminish its predecessor at all. Even though as a _viewer_ it took some getting used to not having the new abilities (were you depending on Tulin at 16:57?) seeing Hyrule not covered in Zonai ruins, sky islands and horned monsters is like a "breath" of fresh air. Plus, I miss the more unique weapons BotW had, like our partner for this challenge, the Drillshaft. P.S. I think the Gut Check Challenge and Test of Will would have been good to include in this run. They're how Link proves he's an honorary Goron, after all.

[@Croton]

Honestly my depth perception was just really off so that's why I failed that one But I totally agree about BotW, there's so many standout features that make me appreciate it sperate from Tears!! Especially the boss fights which are much more technical and replayable The Gut Check Challenge and Test of Will were originally gonna be in this run, but I was just so eager to start the finale that I just opted for the rock roast quest as that's my favorite of the bunch :)

[@LAZERAK47V2]

"Come on Stalmoblin, concentrate! Use your head!" *Yeets friend's head at Link* "Aw right! Not bad, kid! Not exactly what I had in mind, but not bad..."

Imagine a Tears of the Kingdom version of this where you're allowed to use weapons other than Goron weapons (and shield), but you MUST fuse rocks to every weapon (Talus hearts count)

[@user-tn7lu2ke5v]

Rick raptor!!

[@notmitrius7093]

That Calamity fight was something else. I didn't think it'd actually be possible because of the regen. Congrats, man.

[@HeatherRP]

For those of us who watched the run on Twitch over the course of 4 days, we can appreciate what an incredible job Sam did editing this video. I think this is the first challenge run when I truly wondered if he'd be able to complete it. This was truly a huge win!

[@gatetohell9260]

I gotta say I’m a new Zelda fan (got botw for Christmas, been obsessed even during exam season at uni lol), and I really like your videos! You just seem to have such a positive attitude towards everything, even when stuff goes wrong, which is really cool! Really like your runs so far! Ignoring all totk for now since I don’t want spoilers and want to keep playing botw a while longer, so seeing a new botw challenge was an awesome surprise!

[@theoldoneiscoming8242]

I also stayed spoiler free until playing, totally worth it for the surprises and being able to discover everything for yourself! Recommend version 1.0.0. no real improvements to the updates and they patch most of the post game glitches when you just want to mess around.

[@Dovah_Slayer]

Welcome to the community (for your next game after TOTK I recommend ocarina of time (I will tell you the games are very different before this one and it's sequel more puzzle oriented and linear rather than a massive open world but they are still amazing even as far back as the original games on nes (well i think the are on NES) if you have Nintendo's subscription service you can play all of the nes and and 64 ones one your switch and theres a remake and port of Link's awakening and skyward sword respectively (still no port of my favorite game twilight princess sadly))

[@Croton]

So glad to hear you enjoy the runs I play!! They're a really fun way to remix and re-experience things I love about this world :) When you get around to it, I hope your Tears of the Kingdom playthrough goes well!!! It is also phenomenal in a totally different way

I love how Croton is always smiling, it keeps a good vibe

[@FreezerFood]

I always wondered why he never made the Goron only run but here it is

[@lordquagsire5714]

The reason was that there was no bow or Goron like armor set to use. The flame breaker is pretty much just a flame proof suit

[@kikosawa]

​@@lordquagsire5714Well, Rito also wouldn't use their theme armor, so what? It's a substitute for what a hylian lacks compared to the other race. Fire-proof suit is an obvious choice, it even has a round helmet and a bulky build, just like a goron.

[@skyellama8374]

​@@kikosawa yeah I think the run should've allowed flame breaker armor. Would've been less difficult at least.

[@kikosawa]

@@skyellama8374 what's important to understand is that the run would not get less interesting, it would just help to avoid one-shots. Meaning less repetition, more action.

[@aaravsethi8794]

I thought when you mentioned challenge run in your stream, you were going to do rito only, or zora only, in totk, but when I saw the title + thumbnail, I was in shock. Nice to see you return to BOTW.

[@theballoonfamily9539]

23:55 i think i know why it didn't break... Malice eyes aren't in some way considered enemies, despite having a healthbar, they are in fact the only enemy that doesn't show up in the compendium, so that might be why. that or they made weapons not shatter against them as a failsafe, since they are sometimes needed to kill to progress in certain sections.

[@ianjjenkins]

[@pedrovictorsilvaladeira7877]

I'm a little confuse why he didn't use the flamebreaker armor. It's because the real gorons are nude and don't use clothes? Awesome video, croton. You finally did a run for every race in the game. Congratulations!

[@Croton]

That's it!!! Flamebreaker armor isn't very goron-like to me, plus this made it more of a challenge! But thank you!! we did almost every race in the game - I still have another planned!

[@Thecoolgamer64974]

WHICH ONE?

[@alishagee4044]

​@user-fr7gl4ke2o Perhaps Yiga? While I know you can't get the Yiga Armour in BOTW, there's a lot more Yiga Weapons to use than TOTK, so perhaps that's it?
