Nice

[@BenjaminDierling-f2o]

Dang longer than 4 hours must be a pain to edit

[@KoboldBlu]

Croton!! Im a big fan🥰.

[@KoboldBlu]

I like the Tomfoolery in the mucktorok fight

[@badenanderson3504]

Croton Your the GOAT. You know when to take breaks and still are going on this playthrough. This monster video is awsome and a great way to return. We as a coummunity love you so much.

[@Croton]

Much appreciated!! it was a well needed break but im glad to be on track! thank you!!

[@JD.Ginger]

Cronton Ur videos are great I was hoping Ur were going to do this type of run

[@JohnMcCallum-p9t]

I hope I can be a good KZbind like croton

[@ChillyJoe]

He was streaming this for MONTHS

THE LEGEND IS BACK WITH A 4 HOUR VIDEO! LET'S GO!

[@vivachee]

babe wake up new croton video dropped

[@Croton]

thank you vivachee!!!

[@hail_way]

Frr

[@hail_way]

​@Croton i love your content so much, keep up the great work, also finally we got a feature-length croton video!!!!!! You're one of my fav Zelda KZbinrs, thanks for the hard work my man, keep it up

[@Zerba4]

Why am i more hyped that its 4 hours long?

[@dynawesome]

Gives me watching material for the next week

[@Artegonit]

Not only you my friend.

[@E-Obs282]

Ima stay up and watch this

[@NIX-FLIX]

Because you found a video to at least partially watch during lunch and dinner, My best scientific guess is because instead of a highlight reel of the coolest bits you get to see all the struggle and all the cool bits of the run so instead of doing it yourself if you get to experience all the best parts

[@AntonPint]

Imagine how long the stream was

[@el-yerba-buena9678]

I spent like 4 hours sitting on a car ride, on a cafe, and a lab looking for some results and now Im about to spend 4 more hours on a Croton video and Im gonna enjoy it.

[@littleguystar]

I’ve been waiting for somebody to go full blast with Zonai elements in TOTK, but going the extra mile for the Ancient Hero’s Aspect is amazing and perfect icing on the cake.

[@kunai-raptor6092]

Listened to this while I was at work and I can safely say it got me through the day and kept me laughing! Absolutely love your streams, subscribed. ❤️

[@thesmoldragon]

Me: “man I have no videos to watch” (refreshes home page) Me: “ooooh”

[@Faithful-Frames-Animation]

Hey, used to watch your streams a couple of years ago! Seems like you're still having fun, and that's great to see!

[@Croton]

Thanks for following up! it's always been a blast doing runs and I continue to enjoy them

[@TimewornUncle]

I'm not even halfway through, and this is wacky, amazing, and engaging all at once. I never knew this game had so many possibilities and I've 100%ed it.

[@Geo34]

I love how each video just gets longer and longer, and I love it. This is SUCH a fun series to watch, and I’m thinking of trying this one out too.

[@BabushkaKoi]

The Big Wheel is such a good idea, I never even thought of making something like that

[@Mr-Trox]

Watching this is making me feel incredibly uncreative.

[@seerai-42]

i like mineru a lot! i wish instead of taking heart damage when riding her, she instead used battery charges as health so it could act as a shield

[@Croton]

This would be super cool actually!

[@Arctic7985]

13:54 Pulling off the construct's hand to stand right in front of its punch was so cold

[@arrowrandoman]

When I first played TotK, I ended up getting Mineru before any other Sage. Yes, I did grind for the door. Yes, I decided to grind for zonaite to get more energy wells. It made the ending cutscene more special to me since I'd spent almost my entire journey with her. It was fun to see Mineru highlighted for a run.

[@TheJolteonMaster]

Frfr I’m almost mad ppl told me to save the stormy sky island for last, I felt so bad for Mineru to have gone to such lengths to be a guide only for me to basically already be ready to fight Ganondorf right after. 😅 TOTK legit has such a fun genuinely open-world story & ppl try to hard to insist there’s only one “correct” way to experience it. 🤝 If the developers let you do it, it’s an intended way to experience the game! The other sages being clueless about Zelda is supposed to be funny! Where’s ppl’s whimsy! 😂

[@arrowrandoman]

@TheJolteonMaster I've tried restarting and going for that "correct" path, just to see what it's like, but that thrill of finding Mineru has made me want her from the start everytime I try to restart.

[@shadowdragun]

Croton when zonai contraptions: "5% if the time works every time!"

[@angelapatterson4768]

Hi croton, I've been watching the zonai run videos and I'd like to recommend some OP builds 1. KB Bubbul Frog's Giga Chad Tank You are basically invincible, and it can launch you in the air for bullet time (Maybe also try their batmobile tank, not as good, but still fun.) 2. King-X's ROOMBA Aerial Homing Cart Attack Bot/Drone You Can Use NORMAL BALLOONS for tears of the kingdom (that's the video name. I don't know how to link videos... anyways) It uses 2 advanced building techniques (not hard at all). It PLOWS through enemy camps. It uses a torch, but you can substitute that for a shrine candle instead. Also i recommend adding a big battery because it drains alot of battery power, but worth it. Also stay away from it because it has friendly fire on it and it packs a heck of a wallop. If you decide to use these have fun. Also question, will you be using the hylian shield with ancient hero's aspect? (Since you're going to use the master sword with it) (P.S. if you comment back my name is michael, Angela is my mom)

[@Unyx22]

Fun fact: hitting any Zonai device with a sword, or anything that type of weapon isn't meant for, doesn't take durability in totk. For example, hitting a rock with a sword doesn't damage it. But doing a jump slash, it does take durability. Meaning that you can hit any zonai device an infinite number of times with a single stick, provided you don't jump slash.

[@hylianmoth]

the fact that this is so much longer than any other challenge run AND its still only part 1??? insane, and im very hyped!!

[@smeltstarverse7306]

Croton becomes Marvel Comics villain Big Wheel (2024, Colorized)

[@Garfieldforpresident2024]

Can I just say that out of everyone I've watched on youtube, you deserve the most recognition. You've kept me into BOTW and TOTK for all these years and I couldn't be more happy!

[@AngelofGrace96]

Most challenge videos look way too difficult for me, but this looks actually like a fun and unique way to re experience the game!

[@neo_b]

yipeeee!! been waiting for this ! solid intro! i love the totk credits theme

[@bigotato5155]

oh my no wonder he didn't upload in such a long time.

[@Croton]

Also this is our 25th challenge run ever!! we've come so far, thank you everyone! kzbin.info/aero/PLAjULYyNSE9b_sOPHRYmwip6WJCvKEbXO

[@Zerba4]

And every single one has been more enjoyable than the last!

[@Beanz-xj8kk]

Well thank YOU for your content. :)

[@mrbagginz5963]

YOOOOO

[@galaxygamer2220]

I actually want to try this challenge now. It seems so fun and one of the easier ones given how available the equipment is and how creative the devices can be

[@edwheezer6231]

58:46 You have no idea how happy it made me to hear this song!! Freedom Planet isn't a well-known game, it was so cool to hear the theme show up here :D I haven't finished the video yet, but this looks like such a creative and fun run. I'm excited to see more of it!

[@mr.return633]

You just HAD to get it over 10 minutes. Can't wait to watch!

[@hesnyxkerman]

I can’t believe you made a video out of very long play through

[@Croton]

I can't believe it either

[@TheBreadPirate]

Time to Zonai ALL OVER THE PLACE!!

[@Croton]

Galamity canon won't see it coming!

[@MalachiLau-yb5we]

I didn’t know you whacked him!

[@ajeemy]

This felt like 10 minutes to me. If I could do anything right now, I would give you a hug, Mr. Croton. Never change.

[@CalumButton]

I love how Croton is so casual with his absolute god tier gameplay 😂😂😂

[@Thecoolgamer64974]

Croton you are the best Zelda KZbinr ever, and this looks like one of the best yet. I’m really glad that it’s finally out, so keep up the great work!

[@rowanfrady5649]

So hyped to watch this while falling asleep, then watch it again in the morning when i can enjoy it more 😂

[@SuperGoker64]

2:43:27 I can never hear the word "ramp" the same way again after a certain Simpleflips video *XD*

[@cheke_hs]

FOUR hours is absolutely crazy lol

[@Murderdrones_fan-uk8vx]

Almost 5 lol

[@AshleyPotatoMashley]

Playing Precipice from Minecraft at 50:00 really threw me off for a moment LMAO

[@theogbigd3906]

Dude the dad jokes are phenominal this playthrough😂

[@RealYoshy64]

33:52 Literally just 'Can't park 'ere mate' but instead they just destroy your car

[@AlinaMezzi]

Wow! Yet another impressive video croton! Good job, keep up the good work👍

Sad I couldn’t see this live, I would have loved to join you for the run, but I very much enjoyed watching this to compensate ❤

[@tamalabogard3248]

Here for the cheez'n it and silliness!

[@Flak88mil]

6:54 The view is almost as majestic as Croton is.

[@Huziplayz2010]

Yep, same

[@masonzhang1792]

Ahhhhh, is it trails of the sky BGM i was hearing at the beginnning? awesome

I coulda sworn you did this one already but hey, I am not complaining at all.

[@Murderdrones_fan-uk8vx]

He did Shiekah and ancient runs in botw if that’s what ur thinking of

[@Jaimelejambon]

He's back after 6 months with an almost 5h video let's go

[@StevenBryceWroten]

Wasn’t expecting the Sonic Unleashed music, but it was a pleasant surprise! Delightful video as usual!

[@die_buzzies]

Can’t wait to take a 4 hour lunch just to watch this to

[@Skettalee]

Man thank you so much for this video, you helped to save my life. As I have been so depressed and tried to kill myself already numerous times you kept my mind at ease just for the part of you trapping that frickin water booger thing in the cage a bunch of times! It lighted me up and helped me to not focus on it! I have appreciated you for so long and this just takes the cake and I wanted to comment to thank you so much!

[@TheYosh-3210]

It’s been 10,000 years…

[@superninja6756]

Best video idea for real

[@soapteasammi]

The four swords music around 33:45 actually took me back

[@jorisvandeBrande]

Yesh you made me start a second lazy playthrough with more emphasis on the zonai abilities. Hope to finish it.

[@Chara_Dreemurr1]

Croton there's a cute mod that turns link into a zonai. (Goat boi is adorbs yet again. Asriel, Ralsei and now Zonai Link)

[@encaged314]

I'm totally with you about not recognizing Tulin

[@derelictgasstation]

I loved the guest appearance from beloved Spider-Man villain 'big wheel'

[@TheTolnoc]

Vertical? More like Birdical!

[@Artegonit]

Becouse of Croton I am going to replay BOTW and TOTK on my new switch lite Hyrule edition that I have just preordered. This is going to be awesome!!!

[@r_puff]

ZAMN 4 HOURS… and it’s not even done… croton you’ve outdone yourself this time

[@Diamond82721]

This is only part 1 💀💀💀god bless your soul man

[@Walsh-ts1so]

Holy sh- long ah ass video, hyped :)

[@mister_wizard9078]

sleeping sure is overrated...

Just found you and first impressions are you sound just like Failboat and have skills like Smallant. Suffice to say, I enjoy this content.

[@ceredaking]

FINALLY IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS

[@peachypie1810]

Tha video is amazing! And 4 whole hours! You challenges are so unique, love your videos!

5 hours? holy shit time for the ultimate binge folks, i aint sleeping tonight

[@zooehaoe]

4 hours of pure pleasure !!!!

[@drfeyy]

I’ll save this video for later once i finished TOTK 😊 still playing BOTW now.

[@REAVERVOIDTDS]

I could only dream of making machines this complicated

[@Frogg-YT]

this is like the ancient only run but totk version

[@Unyx22]

one time I got a rare ore deposit on the GSI that gave me one of EVERY gem except diamond, I thought I was seeing things

This video has a longer runtime then my hyperfixation does 😭😭😭😭

How does he not have over 1mil,Croton is the GOAT

🐐🐐 Thank you!!!

[@Chipandtristan]

58:19 You can use dazzle fruit aswell to open it but you need to be in bullet time and have around 1 and a half stamina wheels

[@Croton]

I still need to try this at some point! I've heard multishot bows make it easier but I'm not sure

[@Zayne-u7q]

Seeing croton fight proves that there should be a totk pvp tournament

Rito run? With all the wings

[@FizzyMoonBeam]

*checks video length* DAYUM

[@franfrantic1]

Your back yay

[@pooyataleb2514]

what about his back?

[@fourthknower9831]

ALso chat was wrong, the other Rito kids DID grow! All of Kass's daughters are in a like, teen/adolosecent stage like Tulin is But Molli is still in her hatchling phase, meaning that she is the literal baby of the village

[@Cade-Land]

@Croton did you know that on the Great Sky Island the door that you need four hearts for if you let go of the A button early then you get to go to go to the fourth shrine a few seconds early

[@Croton]

That's a good tip!! Makes it less repetitive for future playthroughs haha

[@Cade-Land]

@@Croton found this out on accident my first play through

[@Cade-Land]

It’s also a good speed run strat

finaly yessssss I can watch this w/o like 10 hours of livestream (not saying thats a bad thing I just rly like "shorter" vids)
