Hi croton i absoluty love your stream and youtube video's ❤❤❤hope you have luck with the next run❤👋

[@-Lucidity-]

​@Croton Hey croton, great video!! Could you do a travelers only run? Only traveler set, weapons, can only be able to buy stuff from other travelers, and have the quest being to unlock all shiekah towers, it would be hard, but fun!

[@Oni_KG]

The only reason I knew you posted was because of a discord notification 🤣🤣🍟

[@LWviews]

I have two ideas for your next challenge run either the barbarian set and Lionel gir or the rubber set and lightning and electricity gear

I couldn’t help imagining an alternate botw timeline where a Korok army fended off the great calamity after watching this lol.

[@rifatbobos]

[@editordimentio]

Impa: A dozen korok soldiers March from the lost woods to Hyrule castle claiming they will kill the king as they chant “yah ha ha ha, yah ha ha ha” everyone in hyrule had the ability to stop them and simply chose not too. When they arrived at the kings thrown he found them so adorable he let them dethrone him. That is the story of how the kingdom of hyrule fell to the koroks.

[@Helloeveryone7.0]

That is a cute story to imagine

[@thebatmary5954]

Literally yesterday I discovered that right next to the entrance to the Korok Forest there’s a stone marker that lets you warp out of the forest if you climb into a tree’s mouth (up a ridge to the left as you face the entrance, with the master sword behind you, in case anyone is interested)

I don't think I've commented on any of your videos before But with TotK right around the corner I just wanna express how much I adore these videos! I love "solo class" playthroughs/challenges in RPGs (Terraria especially) and seeing that sort of gameplay through BotW like this scratches an itch I didn't even know I had. Seeing how you seem to love making them too, I can't wait to see what Tears of the Kingdom will bring and the challenge runs that come with it!

@Croton I'd like to see you do an "Monster Loot weapons only" run. Basically, you can use the Soldier items before you get your first monster drop of that type, but afterwards, you MUST use only weapons, bows, and shields dropped by monsters or the Bokoblin and/or Guardian amiibo. Items looted from monster camps are allowed, as are the enemy-themed sets from the DLC, as well as the monster masks & Dark Link set sold by Kilton.

[@Red-vi3mz]

[@astercat49]

Love these challenge runs! I think an elemental only run would be cool (only using ice weapons like the frost blades and ice arrows, or flame blades and fire arrows). For armor, maybe whatever gives you the most resistance to the element you’re using (like the rubber armor for the lightning run). Just a suggestion!

[@KolbaltSayian]

The Gerudo sets and Flamebreaker set both give different fire resist though...

[@lexinicole4317]

@@KolbaltSayian Yeah. So either one would make sense for a fire elemental run, as far as I understood the original commenter’s suggestion

[@astercat49]

@Lexi Nicole that is what I meant, though I would probably say that flamebreaker would be better for a fire run, just because the gerudo set is already a mandatory item, and the flamebreaker set is yet to be used in a challenge run. Plus, correct me if I’m wrong, but I think the flamebreaker gives fire immunity, similar to how the rubber set gives shock immunity.

[@shapshapshapshap2829]

With totk now out, this run may actually have some fitting armour to use, although it could be harder getting elemental weapons.

[@thecatinthefedora1201]

I've considered doing this run, but due to how limited the korok weapons are in terms of respawning weapons, I decided against it. If it worked for you, though, maybe I should give it a shot

[@hiqjix]

This was so INTENSE! Loved seeing all the Korok appreciation, they are my favorite species in the BoTW universe lol. And the final battle was so stressful! Also: seeing all the smart ways you circumvented being unable to use runes was super cool. Your passion and appreciation for the smaller details in the game is very apparent, and super charming!

I hope it is a fun idea. I am a big fan of these challange runs and really enjoy watching them. I would really like to see this concept in a video.

[@Ashley_Graves_1]

I have a run idea that's probably the hardest run in the game. I call it: The True Hero. Link can only wear the Hero of the Wild set and only use the Master Sword and Hylian Shield. To make the run a bit more fair and full, Link my use Traveler Bows. Mandatory items are okay and no champion abilities. (Also, use Amiibo to get Epona.) But yeah, it's super hard and a long challenge, but I think it's possible as long as you pace yourself

You could try a hero of hyrule run. Armor: hylian hood, champions tunic, hylian trousers. Weapons: master sword, hylian shield, travellers bow (same bow/Armor used in most official art but if you have a different bow that makes sense you could use it still) extra challenge: all memories and trial of the sword. Biggest challenge in the run would be that you have 1 sword and shield that while powerful take time to regain (waiting for the sword to recharge and building Terry town to buy a new shield)
