Can Phantom Ganon BEAT the Calamity in Breath of the Wild?? 

It's finally Halloween month!! 🎃 We will be dedicating this time to some fun themed runs/playthroughs revolved around the spooky season - Hope you all enjoy!!

I've always wanted to see a "regular hylian" run where you defeat the blights and ganon with just the travelers gear, hylian clothing, and anything labeled "daily use item" like the pot lid, farming hoe, or mop. I just think the idea of link being this regular dude is quite funny

The people of Hyrule: "You did it. You saved us." Phantom Ganondorf:" I wouldn't say saved more like under new management."

Just dropping this here. A Tingle challenge where you must beat the game with all the divine beasts and all great fairies freed (in order to become a true fairy). You can only use the Tingle armor set and Forest Dweller's equipment. You wouldn't have access to any of the Devine Beast abilities (and of course, all mandatory items are allowed).

You can see the concentration on his face trying to soothe that Giant Horse XD. Great video Croton, your runs are always a blast!

21:45 Just realized that attack is very reminiscent of the phantom ganon fight

This is just a glorified bone-only run. _And I'm all here for it!_ Edit: The whole Ganondorse pun is why I named my giant horse "Dorse" in my most recent playthrough.

whoever edited the Phantom Ganon music during the blight fights knocked it out of the part, matching the musical hits to the in-game hits just like in wind waker :D

Phantom Ganon: This world ain't big enough for the both of us.

Ganondorf: I’m going shopping kids, don’t fight while I’m gone. Phantom and Calamity: Ok. Ganondorf: ‘Leaves’ P and C: ‘Start fighting’

At 6:45 the music and combat lines up so nice 👌👌👌

10:07 this is easily one of the greatest clutches in BOTW history like god daym

That teaser for the radiant and bone set at the end was awesome, I can’t wait!

2 ideas for a specialized run: The hylian/villager. You can only used weapons such pitchforks or iron sledgehammers, and armor such as the hylian hood, hylian trousers, etc. and the knight/solider. You can only use soldier armor, and weapons such the knights and soldiers broadsword (as well as master sword and hylian shield and champions tunic?)

You’ve gotten a lot better at the game since you started these runs! Your videos were super helpful for me when I picked the game up again a few months ago

I think an interesting run would be one focused on the kilton masks, like fighting each divine beast as a monster using weapons labeled as that creature’s weapon (ex. Lizal bow, moblin club) and capping it off with some monstrous twist for Ganon!

Wow, the music selection of the blight fights was insane, especially the hollow knight soundtrack! The timing was great! Good job, Croton.

I'd love to see an only Lynel Gear playthrough! Maybe you can make it a goal to use the Barbarian Armor/Lynel Mask! It would also pose quite a challenge taking out that first lynel for gear, but I'm sure the castle Savage Shield and a big ol crate could do it!

Oh my god, how did this masterpiece escape my view? I'm three entire days late! I have the notifications sent to frequent and I still didn't see this, I'm so sorry about that! I'm glad you're getting into the spirit of this time of the year, it's nice to see your creativity while approaching these different runs, because anything you do is really interesting in its own right. This video was amazing, and it was very unique. It's the little details that you add in your videos that make them enjoyable, the editing, the music choice, and especially your own personality shining through when you're interacting with your viewers and talking about the game in general. You take the simplest things in your gameplay and make them feel really immersive, as if I'm there experiencing it with you. You're not afraid to be a bit silly or show how you feel about something, and that's great! Your smile puts a smile on my face too, and all of your positivity is contagious. I've also been waiting for the bone-only run ever since you started the challenge run series, words can't describe how much I'm looking forward to seeing you in action, the hype in unimaginable! (It was an incredibly unexpected yet welcome surprise to see that the skeleton duo at the end, I immediately knew what you were hinting at, and I started to shiver with glee) I'm very excited to see what you plan to do next, thank you for always making this content with such enthusiasm, it means the world to me, and I appreciate it a lot. On a side note, even though I don't have the time to watch your streams (as much as I wish I could, with all of my heart, it hurts every time I have to finish my work), know that I'm supporting you from the sidelines! Thank you again. In summary, your content makes me really happy, and I'm thankful for that. Sorry for ranting so much, have a great day, and please keep doing what you're doing! :)

Croton: *doing Phantom Ganon run* Me: *enjoying the music, getting totally distracted by the idea of Link teaming up with The Belmonts and Alucard to kill Malice Dracula*

As soon as I heard the Uumuu boss theme I recognized it, and I could never forget Mantis Lords/Sisters Of Battle theme as they’re 2 of my favorite hollow knight bosses (not uumuu, uumuu is annoying, but the music is good) so hearing those 3 themes along with the Ganons was amazing, and then radiance! Just sealed it, you made this look so easy too!

Very glad I found that amiibo challenge run and have been able to watch since, you’re vids are quite good normally, as well as putting them on for background noise in a way.

"Who needs a bane of evils blade" couldn't have said it better myself

I love how you used Hollow Knight music for the final boss. Great job Croton :)

Goron/DeathMountain Run. Lynel Bows and shields are made from "A special metal at the peak of death mountain" and in the memory battle against fireblight, you can use a knights bow.

These videos never fail to keep us all entertained. Keep up all this amazing work croton. We love you

I can’t wait for the skeleton run! Btw thanks croton for making the best challenge runs ever!

this is probably my fav theme run yet. although the sheikah one was really good

This came out awesome, Croton! OMG and the ending… Broton for the win! 😂

"Who needs the bane of evil's blade when we got our own clubs" Croton 2022

I googled last weekend when I was playing through for the first time in a while. Apparently, even though there's no name in BotW, OoT-era Ganondorf's horse in some comic was named Galloughs, which I think may be an Odin reference and a play on the word gallows. It's right at the 9 character limit for horse names in BotW.

6:45 i just love how the two last hits of the arm are perfectly on time with the music

Been asking for this for a while feels good to see it!

Great job Croton!!! this was supper enjoyable

Another great video :) I rewatch them because your content is great

Therapist: spooky link isn't real, they can't hurt you. Spooky Link:

YES! Spooktober is da best time for skeleton runs (meaning collecting luminous stones, using arms and, once again, Dragonbone weaponries)

i made a gamemode with my friends prior to this called "savage mode" where you can only use phantom ganon and phantom knight armor and u could only use bone weapons and savage lynel weapons. this is really similar to that

This run is sick!

I tried something that turned out to be fun and possible because of master mode. A lynel run, barbarian armour and only lynel equipment. Killing lynels with the weakest lynel bow and upgrading to the full set, killing another lynel for the mighty set and finally getting the savage set turned out to be really fun. The most difficult parts was getting the mighty lynel bow from a bokoblin on the bridge of Hylia and killing the first lynel, (especially since both the bokoblins on the bridge have bomb arrows and lynel bows)

Wait how did you get the Spiked/Dragonbone Moblin club to do the Master Sword animation at Ganon?

This was impressive more like for you can’t wait for the next challenge or stream

i love how sans and paps are at the end 😂

cant wait for the next challenge run :)

mantis lords and sisters of battles fited so well on the ganon fight

The music sync on 6:46 is actually amazing

Nice hollow knight mantis Lords Boss music at the End 😂❤

Awesome video croton!

woo i'm early!! bone run just in time for spooky month >:]

The music in this run was 🔥 🔥 🔥 went really well with the battle!

great video croton!

I’m surprised I watched the steam all the way. Keep up the good work man.

Loved this one!

LET'S GOO NEW CROTON VID!

I've been wanting to do this for a while but now i finally have the motivation

A funny Idea you can try Beat BOTW with stuff that arent technically weapons: Brooms, torches, hoes, ect... armor can be worn out clothes or armor that isn't really armor

That was super satisfying haha 6:44

the spoopy month begins

I love your runs do not stop

in my headcanon, this a friendly match between ganons but oot's ganondorf is too chad to go , so he sent his phantom

Awesome video Croton!!! I see you’ve gotten a lot better at BotW! by the way are you switching to no divine beasts because i liked those more 😅

It's so good to see Ganon defeating his own darkness from within for once. Give Link a break.

Hey you’re back to ~30min edited videos, glad to see it again :D

I propose a "hero run". You can use any champion weapons, any of the unique amiibo weapons (that link uses), the champions weapons (as they are considered heros), the champions tunic, hylian trousers, and hylian hood, as well as the heros outfits, and (if you somehow get it) the wild set.. You have to pull the master sword (legitimately), yule are REQUIRED to at least get the hylian trousers and champions tunic, and you can also use the traveler's bow, knight bow, royal bow, twilight bow, and bow of light. You can also use the hylian shield. This next part of the run is optional, but get all the memories for the true ending, and fully upgrade the set you choose to use for the final fight. I hope you consider this!

Btw thanks for the music list loved the music

bro i love the Castlevania theme you play in the video

That joy con mash mode though...you can make a lot of people happy that way.

This was good, what would be cool is doing stuff like an eldin run, where you can only use the weapons in tye eldin region

when you piss off the phantom enough he starts a rebellion

Bro that ending 😂 i love the papyrus and sans

Good video as usual

In my 1055 hours of playing breath of the wild I have never seen someone mash so fast trying to soothe a horse

The calamity might have his malice, but you are the Phantom Menace

Your videos are the BEST!!!

Nice video croton that’s interesting

Hey Croton nice to see another challenge video, have you considered a challenge run using either only Solider or Knight weapons I know you did a royal guard weapon run before

Phantom Gannon: you send your minions to do your dirty work Calamity Gannon: G U A R D I A N

You might've already known this, but Ganondorf's Horse actually had 2 names, one of which was actually 'Phantom' I know you usually like to do Theme-Based names for the Horse when you do these runs, and you probably won't re-do this run but I thought it would've been a nice little thing to mention. Also if you're curios, the 2nd name for his Horse is 'Nightmare'

Underrated RU-vidr right here

Explosion parry got me 😂

Link from the first Zelda run. Rules: no jumping, no charge attacks, only normal arrows, boomerangs only for throwing, fire rods allowed, Sword allowed, no parrying, just wood shields, only what you could do in the first game. Also master sword allowed, and once you have a specific amount of heart containers, you can upgrade it.

I saw this and it got me excited and then I saw that it was you and I became extremely excited

I love this it's an big banger and I also really like liazalfos only

So basically all ganon run

Should have grabbed a farosh horn for a 30min food and used 5 Duran for 20+ hearts (I wanna say 24 but I can’t remember) would have given you a high amount but also made it challenging… Get it done with this amount of time and hearts or nothing kind of thing… Still a great run though! That headshot flurry at 28:46… AWESOME! I’ve never seen someone do that and I watch a lot of play through sand easily have 1000+ hours on this game myself lol

Can you do a barbarian only run because some find the lynel scary

I love these videos.

Crazy, looks like calamity ganon needed some more bones in his strategy to defeat link rather than some fire and fancy lasers 😅🤣

I love the Hollow Knight music, especially since it's a lesser known game. Amazing video as always!

What a spoopy run!

ayyyyyy close to 250k!!!

Tried more hard getting ganondors than calamity ganon 💀

When will you do the Goron Only run? I know it'll be difficult without bows, but I believe in you, Croton!

i haven't seen the full video.. but that Castlevania OST YO.

7:36 No Phantom Ganondorf, it is YOU who is not wearing pants! -Link (Probably)

Yo let’s go he’s back on

The Legend of Twinrova, The Clash of Calamity

Mantis lords and other hollow knight music is very good with this run

Perfect for spoopy season

Wind bomb + phantom ganon = phantom express
