If this video gets 50,000 likes, I'll try to beat all of the 2D Zelda games in a time limit. If this video gets 250,000 likes, I'll also try and 100% every 3D Zelda game in a time limit. Edit: I didn't understand the negative implications of using AI generated art when I posted this video with the original thumbnail, so I posted a new thumbnail for the video that's not AI generated.

[@monkebiznez]

Getting likes with AI art will be very difficult.

Thank you for listening to this feedback! I know it's probably not as simple or easy on your end as using an AI generated thumbnail, but it's great that you took the feedback and made that change :>

[@Themacattack1209]

@@BetterNicholasMe either. It’s literally just a small shortcut to help creators so they can put more time into things like scripting and editing. People just want to hate AI for the sake of hating it like it’s entirely a negative thing, not realizing it’s already used in so many aspects of like nowadays.

[@Thepopmario]

Fun Fact: the reason you didn't die in 1 hit to Ganondorf in the final fight was because BotW and TotK have a system in place so that if you have full health then you can't be 1 shot. It will just bring you to 1/4 heart.

[@jonathancarrion0809XXI]

So, it's basically "Endure" or "Survive a fatal blow with 1 HP, provided you have 2 or more", with the difference being that you must be on full HP.

[@Zork787]

correct, however its disabled in BoTW's master mode so keep that in mind

[@Thepopmario]

@@Zork787 I wasn't aware of that but it makes sense.

[@jonathancarrion0809XXI]

@@Thepopmario Yeah, that's nice to know, it makes the run more challenging that way, considering it would essentially become a "No Damage" run in Master Mode if you go straight to the end from the get-go.

[@jarrodhen8063]

I have to say I'm pretty impressed for someone without having a "Zelda Die Hard" knowledge of this series and the type of challenge the commitment to not using a walkthrough is very impressive and commendable.😊❤

[@vhaelen326]

also goron race: there is some 'weird' rubberbanding going on in the race to make it both more challenging and more forgiving, so essentially: if do really well in at the start its alot harder, whereas if you just wait 3-5 extra seconds after the race has started its alot easier

[@ChristyTina22]

In MM, you don't need the town title deed to reach the clock tower if you can take off the Deku mask. There's a ramp on the right that lets Link get close enough to the platform to jump up and grab. It' s deliberately too tall for Deku Link to reach so you have to get the deed on your first cycle.

[@LeopoldLitchenstein]

1:06:50 You're supposed to swim under the water to different parts of the statue to get the correct order for the door, there's a slab that tells you what parts and in the right order. This didn't hit me until the HD version came out, I used to brute force it as well

Your bongo bongo fight reminds me a lot of my first bongo bongo fight! So I'd prepared 3 fairies and had 10 hearts, so I felt pretty confident going in. I don't know why, but I either couldn't figure out what to do or I couldn't manage to damage him. I was down to one heart, no fairies left, bongo bongo still at full health - and I somehow managed to defeat the whole boss from that point without dying.

Dark link weakness is deku nuts. Throw it away from him and not directly at him and he freezes.

6:25 theres 2 extremely easy ways to do this 1. take out a bomb and let him roll over you - you take some damage but the bomb instantly explodes when youre hit guaranteeing the hit 2. aim for one of the bomb flowers with a bow and shoot when he is next to it, they instantly explode guaranteeing the hit

Pro tip for anyone playing the beginning in Twilight Princess. You don’t have to walk behind the lady with the cradle and wait for her. You can literally just walk straight to her house and it automatically starts the cutscene with her there

The courage and courage to continue, without taking 1 day off and finishing it with a ANOTHER challange not mentioned in the title, impressed me more. hands down, great video.

[@Senda688]

In TP it's the Wii map that is mirrored, because Link is left handed and, since most people are right handed, they had to mirror the map to match the motion controls.

Water temple is super easy just start at the lowest level and move around counterclockwise til you visit all the rooms, when the water is up to lvl 2, drop to the room where u found Ruto and swim up and grab the chest, then keep going Counter Clockwise until you get to Dark Link, then repeat the process and go around every floor counter-clockwise. It's simple. You want a hard af water dungeon, play Oracle of Ages.

[@RabidL33CH]

You gotta utilize your inventory more my brotha. Even if items are useless 99 percent of the time, that 1 percent is super handy. I mean, took me years to realize that myself 😂 but that's what makes it so much fun is trying out anything just to see if it will work. But for minimal knowledge for the challenge, it is impressive! Hope ya utilize the items more in the next challenge though because I'm looking forward to seeing how ya improved 🎉

[@AmARealHuman]

Your skyward sword spirit realms stressed me OUT. Great video!

[@cj_skywalker]

That game of tennis actually debuted in Link to the Past with the Agahnim fight and has shown up in a lot of other games, like the indie game Legend of the Skyfish, where the final boss, said Skyfish, makes you play tennis in order to make him vulnerable. In fact, the three bosses you fight are really annoying considering the mechanic is using a fishing rod to move about. :(

[@RnA.2]

Well as an FYI for the Triforce quest in Wind Waker, it's in the GameCube version people have some issues with the quest. From what I understand (since never got to play the WiiU version), it got remixed a bit to be alot less tedious. And ofc, the Swift Sail helps too in terms of saving sail time obvs. Never bothered me much in the OG WW, but yk, to each their own.

[@MaryGershwin]

The practice of restarting the whole game when getting stuck is exactly what I do to this day. There is the step in between of leaving the game rot for a couple of months until I forgot all the controls and feel even more inclined to just start over. Poor BotW took me like 4 attempts to finally beat it^^

[@WildFyr]

In the Shadow Temple if you put that block where it is supposed to go (Under the ladder) it will stay there when you leave the room. This is because it sets the room flag to state that the block has been pushed, That is supposed to be a shortcut back to that room from the start of the dungeon but that block is there to stop you from skipping the dungeon from the start, So because it locked you out was because the block moved flag was not set because you never moved it far enough.

[@WildFyr]

I also want to say, the Wii version of TP is mirrored, as the Gamecube and WiiU version Link is left handed (Like he is in every other game other then SS*, BotW, and TotK. *The reason he was in SS and the Wii version of TP was because of the motion controls. The reason he is in BotW and TotK I cannot for the life of me find out why, I really hope Link goes back to being Left handed.)

[@Warri0rLink]

When fighting Igos du Ikana, you can throw Deku Nuts to stun him before doing a jump slash and repeat so he doesn’t do any of his annoying attacks such as the flying head and stinky breath attacks. Also in Ancient Cistern, you have to look at certain walls of the dungeon to find the code to that one door with the buttons.

[@PattyLeighVA]

I couldn't for the life of me figure out why so many people were trying to tell you to use Deku Nuts... and then I got to the end of the video LOL I genuinely wonder how much difference it would have made if you'd played the 3DS versions of OoT and MM. MM in particular probably would've gone a LOT faster. This also makes me wonder how much of the time is taken up by cutscenes that you skipped, considering the ETA for TP was 37.5 hours and you beat it in 14.6. (Obviously some basic subtraction could be done here, but that wouldn't account for excess time spent solving puzzles and with any potential deaths.) A really interesting challenge, and kind of wild that you managed to pull it off in just 6 days rather than using the full 7!

You could've got chateau romani (it gives you infininte magic until you reset time) for the giants mask twinmold fight, and the final boss it makes the final boss a joke cus you can just spam light arrows and keep stunning the second and third phases. Then again you'd have to do 2 sidequests to get it and go to the bar at night, so maybe it'd take too long. Having blue potions for magic would've made things easier though
