[@AllegedlyHuman]

I did a mage run myself, was lots of fun. Everyone knows mages are squishy so I wasn't allowed to get more hearts until stamina was maxed out, and even then I didn't really get a lot, and armour could only be upgraded twice. I did allow myself the usage of staffs/spears along with magic, but I was only allowed to cook elixirs. Fun fact - you can add food to an elixir recipe so long as you use both monster parts and bugs/critters so long as they don't have a special effect that goes against the other ingredients

[@whimsicalcleric]

You should do a Mob-Loot only run. You can only use loot that has a mob in its name, for example, the Boko club and the Lizal Spear could be a weapon, same with shields and so on. Armor can be obtained from Robbie, or can be traded with Kilton. The only exception is Mandatory loot. If you would like to make the challenge hard, you may only survive on food that mobs drop, such as the Octorocks(is that how you spell it?) drop fish and so forward. Another possible rule is that you can only sell monster parts for rupees to obtain potions. And finally, another, is all arrows must be obtained from mobs. That'll also be difficult. If you end up choosing this, good luck!! Keep making these runs, they're really fun and inspiring :D

I have a great idea. The choice run.

The rules are: you choose a place to kill all the enemies (colosseum, hyrule Castle, etc.), you can use runes and you have to choose a challenge you want to do (collect every koroks, find every sanctuary, do the run damageless, etc.).

[@penguinos7432]

I have a run idea: (it might be a bit complicated though) the aesthetic run: you can only use weapons and shields when you are wearing their respective armor. If the weapon doesn’t have an armor set, you cannot use it. For example, you can only use knights shield/knights weapons when you are wearing the knight armor, you can only use sheikah weapons/shields if you are wearing the stealth armor, etc.

Its a korok only run where you have to use only korok related weapons which are the forest dweller sword, spear, bow, and shield, the korok leaf, and the boomerang. Also you can wear any sort of gear but you must wear the korok mask, get back Hestu's maracas, do all shrines in the lost woods, and find at least 200 koroks. And obviously mandatory gear and champion abilities are allowed. Hope you like the idea and have a great day and I enjoy all you're videos!
