The military may have perished 100 years ago, but one soldier still remains. Can he climb the ranks by helping the survivors of Hyrule, and clear the calamity for good? I hope you all enjoy the run!!

For the last challenge run Croton does, it could be called the Retirement/Adventure’s run. The requirements are just to get the Hylian armor, buying the house in Hanato, and befriending all the dogs on the map. And if fighting is necessary, only “tools” like the axes/pot lids/laddles are allowed.

One of the things I love most from these themed runs are, of course, the matching aesthetic, but also the slight lore you put into them; it really creates a good distinction between a simple challenge and a story! The additional touch of helping all travelers and not allowing yourself to use knight gear until the end makes these so much more interesting! Even the horse Jousting fit so well in the theme, that was amazingly fun to watch!

@Croton Год назад

I love making a whole adventure and story out of the runs, that's what makes them extra enjoyable to do!!! I'm glad you liked this, thank you Congele

It is kinda weird that even if you did managed to save each travelers from monsters, you still have somewhat of a hidden time limit whether they give you an item reward or not. Or if they did the final blow to the enemy, you won't get the reward. These things are one of the neat details I like about BotW's over world.

Having recently done a run of this game in Master Mode where I rushed to the castle with the Phantom Armor and only the weapons the castle had to offer, I've really mastered to attacks of the Ganons! Anyone who hasn't tried fighting them all in a row with 3 hearts really should try it!

@Awesomeness-iz3dh Год назад

I think my number one wish for Tears of the Kingdom is for its final boss to have a wide variety of different versions, with one being chosen for you to fight based on how you played the game and what you did or didn't do. It'd make challenge runs like these a lot more interesting and just generally add replayability to the one part of the game that lacks it.

He’d have to use a boulder or metal box to kill the first lynel since those weapons can’t be found in chests or laying around. Definitely doable. It’s how you kill the plateau lynel in the master mode any% speedrun.
