A great use of environmental storytelling in this run was how chat went away when Purah was on screen

So it seems Linkus didn't realise this (at least by the death mountain segment), but Recall has an insanely large range. If you ever drop something off a cliff, just look over the cliff. If you can get Line of Sight of your thing, you should be able to recall it all the way back up to you. No more wheel balls lost because you detached something.

Linkus trying to descend into death mountain but instead descending into madness is the peak content I subscribe to this channel for

So let me get this straight, the game doesnt let you play the 5th dungeon if you dont have the paraglider, because it would spoil you the story in relations about Zeldas whereabouts BUT you can get the final tear without restriction which also will spoiler you the story.... WHAT?! WHY?

I find it crazy that you can't access Mineru without the paraglider for some reason, but if you have the paraglider, accessing her dungeon early and skipping her whole questline is totally fine

Love that travelling on foot from the great plateau abandoned mine to under the volcano would have been faster than trying a million different box designs.

For the Death Mountain chasm fall, I'm surprised that "walk from elsewhere in the depths" wasn't considered as an option.

When Sidon opened the whirlpool for me, I left the quest. Its Sidon's commitment to swimming in circles for what must have been at least a couple months in game time that truely shows his commitment as a sage.

All of the time I was watching this, I thought of how easy it would’ve been with the two star glider set because it negates all fall damage and it adds so much falling movement

Watching him be so determined to make the box work was inspiring. I wish he found a design that actually worked, the wheels looked close!

There is a rare drop for wolf link amiibo. It is a chest with mirror of twilight paraglider cloth. Very helpful in this run

7:22 I tried doing this shrine without the paraglider when i started playing. I didn't even realize that the paraglider was a thing in the game. I spent at least an hour on that before I gave up

Getting into the depths is way easier than you think. If you ride Farosh down while she's on her circuit, she's actually close enough to the ground fairly close to the chasm to just safely jump. Well... "safely" as long as you've got 8 or so hearts, anyway.

Another trick for getting into the Depths is to jump down one of the three chasms that are hidden in wells. They all have little pools of water at the bottom. The chasm under Zora's Domain would also work, but would be a pain to get all the way to autobuild from. It's also a boring-but-practical solution to the death mountain chasm, by going down the well north of Hyrule Castle and heading there cross-country.

Short answer: yes. My first run was without the paraglider. I did every dungeon I could without purah giving me the paraglider, so no sky view towers, no map, and no mineru. Out of 152 shrines, 150 are possible without the paraglider. The only two exceptions being the Gatakis (rito village) and mayamats (gerudo highlands) shrines. The upgraded glide suit and a wing fused shield are the most important tools for a no-paraglider run. Oh and have fun with colgera’s phase 2- it’s torture.

Honestly this is one of my favorite things about tears of the kingdom how the game gives you the choice to get the paraglider or not and just play the game in a completely different way where as in breath of the wild it forces you to get the glider

I haven't laughed so hard as I have at Linkus trying to get into the death mountain depths

I'm currently tryin to 100% the game without the paraglider, and it was so interesting watching how Linkus and I deviated between things, like how he immediately went to the depths, while I headed to hyrule castle for some good loot

I've even triggered clearing out the thunderstorm by using a clipping glitch (and it worked), but the Spirit Temple is still locked. I also clipped into the Spirit Temple, the boss doesn't spawn and the secret stone just sits there.

Barely even started watching and it already looks amazing, can't wait for more content like this!

1:23:19 Have you tried what happens if you visit Hyrule Castle at this point and defeat the Phantom Ganons? Because the Cutscene after you do so also tells you to find the 5th Sage, doesn't it?

I love how he takes more time to figure out a contraption to go down to the fire temple than it would have taken to go to the depths and walk there!

linkus giving himself unnecessary stress and anxiety over fall damage in low gravity is so funny xD

Since PointCrow did a no stamina run, I suppose a run without paraglider is possible

Fun Fact: The spring shrine Linkus did at the beginning of the video was my first shrine. And I also did it without the paraglider.

I was waiting for this video. I watched most of the challenge live and it was awesome to see the different solutions to the problems that no one notices.

The first shrine on the ground I ended up at, was A Windy Device, and I refused to leave it when I saw the initial fan-cliff puzzle, instead being like ‘eh that wall looks slopey’, and I kept jumping and shield hopping in the corner til I scrambled up that edge lol

Cool strats for the water temple. Alot easier than what I did, ascending to it involved building a long bridge with some large stone blocks and part of the temple involved use of floating platforms which is very stressful with only 1 battery and I didn't think of shield fusing, so I limited myself harshly. His methods seem more doable.

This challenge was fun to watch live!

Hey, @Linkus7 , I'm not sure if you knew this, but there's a little mechanic that you can use fighting Colgera. When it starts firing off those spikes, you can dive at the spots that open up and it will break it in one hit instead of having to use 2 arrows to do it. I thought that might help (that is, if you even see this).

35:36(ish) - gettin some real "Nigara Falls in a Barrel" vibes with this one...

It's a bit late now but certain parts of getting to the wind temple could have been made easier with the knowledge that you can stack springs to gain more height

Hey linkus! Knowing you you've probably already found this out, but in the ganon fight Ive found it's way more consistent to parry Ganon's attack post-flurry-rush. It allows you to get about the same amount of hits in, while also not having to worry about timing as much

The Death Mountain part was pure gold, thak you for not choosing the easy way

I'm trying to do this challenge as well, but I'm also not allowing myself to use any Zonai Devices to see how many dungeons I can get. I feel Gerudo is the most likely one to beat, and I made it up to the first shrine on the way up to the Wind Temple, but I dont think I'll make it much further than that honestly (which stinks because it already took me like 3 hours to make it that far.

Its nice seeing others try this challenge, im still trying to find a way to do the final temple out of pure stubbornness.

I'm doing a clothless run and surprisingly all you need is a shield with an item that gives you heat which will get you really far up past the second shrine in the sky, no kidding. It's only when you get to the circling boats is when you need another stage of cold resistance. Though when you beat Colgera the cold comes back down to the surface so I'd say do everything you need to do in the hebra region first before beating colgera so that way you can enjoy Hebra without freezing your butt off.

i didn't realize i was supposed to get the paraglider from purah, so when i started the game i went the opposite direction of lookout landing and definitely spent 2+ hours completing shrines without it, was quite a fun time

The gliding set upgraded would be SO useful for this 2:08

4:09 “Oh, he’s gonna find that Well Chasm with water at the bottom?… no?… well I guess it ain’t a challenge run without unnecessary challenge.”

This is such a cool idea for a challenge run, nice stuff :)

the answer? yes, linkus is going to beat the game without the paraglider

this is a really interesting concept, I wish I was there for the stream!

Linkus, on that shrine where you have to jump a lot and land with the paraglider at the beggining you can just time your sidehop/backflip when targeting to jump right before the spring extends and you’ll make it just enough to not take damage (I made it to that shrine before making it to skyview tower and was trying to get it and made it almost till the end that way)

Hello! I have been watching your videos a lot recently, keep up the grind!

The only initial challenge i see is the fact that Anti-grav will be annoying to deal with with no correcting your floaty jumps *(as i typed this out i remembered the entirety of the wind temple)*

For death mountain. I'm surprised he didn't think of literally just using a balloon and a flame emitter to slowly go down in the hole

I just discovered this video because I was doing a no paraglider run as well, and was trying to find a way to activate the Hyrule Castle Gloomondorf Squad battle without it. So sad that you can't unlock the last 2 dungeons without getting the glider, lol.

Going to the water temple after beating the dungeon always triggers a blood moon on certain versions of the game, just walk to the middle of the boss fight platform.

This video inspired me to take on the challenge myself, and I gotta say it was a lot more fun and challenging using the zonal devices more and dying… a lot… but still very cool just finished it but missed having the map and paraglider so much

This was basically how I started the game, because I completely ignored the purah quests and just dived right into shrines. Edit: literally the two shrines in the beginning of the video were my first two shrines and I had to do them without a paraglider, the same way as you.

16:25 I just made a hover bike and skipped blowing up the rocks lmao, and funnily enough it works

So for getting to the fire temple... Would it have been possible to just get into the depths somewhere else (Either by teleporting to the central mine, or going down an easier chasm) and then just get there on foot through the depths? You can actually get to the fire temple without going through that chasm, you just can't enter the temple without sending Yunobo down there through death mountain first.

Lol when I saw Linkus do the stabilizer shrine I knew it was going to be a doozy since I unfortunately completed it before I got the paraglider

For descending into death mountain chasm, I did some testing and 3 wings arranged tail to tail in a triangle around a steering stick will drop almost straight down with no input but still has nice maneuverability, plus it takes no power.

I actually needed 3 hours for the Ganon fight, because I just had 3 hearts left and flurry rushed everything. So I basically turned this fight into a souls fight lol 😂 But It was worth the challenge. 👌🏻 Great video tho. ❤

This is insane. You are insane. And I respect that

I know the Glide Outfit is… technically cheating, but I hope Linkus gets it this run _at least un-upgraded_ cause it’s one of my favorite sets, and it’d be interesting to see how he goes about accessing it. Edit: Also curious if he will get the Zonaite Armor Edit 2: He got the glide outfit!

11:00 I did this shrine without paraglider. It was the first shrine I did and I didnt know this game had a paraglider.

This is great content, very creative!

I did the same thing. An easy way to get down into the depths, for the temples, you can just use a glider, a fan, a stabilizer (on the bottom), and a control stick.

10:18 I love that both me and Linkus did this during this shrine lol. I did it just to mess around in the shrine 🤣 but yeah I love stealing the puzzle pieces from the last room and bringing them to the next one haha

At the death mountain box segment, he could've used carts as the box to fall down the chasm

10:50 i actually beat this shrine without the paraglider because i didnt want to go to lookout landing in the beginning

Can I say, I appreciate that the game really teaches a “good enough” mentality is ok when you have a goal. Everything doesn’t have to fit perfectly. A bit of janky wiggle will work. A crucifix arms don’t have to be equal. Signs will fall a few times

See, I was brainstorming different BotW challenge runs but after seeing PointCrow do it without using stamina, that just encompasses so many other challenges including this one.

Rauru watching from the grave: 'What is he doing?' *Turns to Rhoam's ghost* Rauru: 'Is this what he's normall-' Rhoam: 'Yep.'

53:35 “I never figured out an optimal way to fight this GUY”

22:00 "I dont wanna use a hovercraft build" *proceeds to build a hovercraft, just 4.5 times more expensive

this is premium content, I'm laughing so hard at you trying to get down the chasm

Thank you Linkus for giving me something to put on while I grind the few hundred remaining Korok Seeds.

1:16:25 - "...if i just died, because i ran out of health..." yeah, that usually does it lol

Linkus did hover stones dirty with this one. They're so versatile for shooting on an arrow and catching yourself out of a fall, and I don't think he used them once

55:02 Micknaster, I feel you 😂

Sidon: how are you not dead yet Linkus: I have no idea 😄

the amount of times i watched link fall and wonder why linkus wasnt deploying his paraglider is insane

For the death mountain descent what about 6 springs and a steering stick maybe some sleds for extra surface area

I love how he's wearing smallant merch during the ad read section, feels appropriate somehow XD

Lowkey did like a quarter of my first save file without paraglider because I was blind and just didn’t find lookout landing. 8:30 also just realizing I got scammed at this shrine because I thought the height would always kill me so I came up with some convoluted strat of extending the spring, and then holding it over the gap at max distance + the right height only to bring it back so I could get on, then rewind it so I could do a shield jump to pass the gap.

you actually can get the 5th dungeon without the paraglider you just have to get the quest from tauro at kakariko village

It’s possible to get to the sky diving area over korok forest, I did it in my no glider run. I started from hyrule castle and had a ballon and fans to push/give barely enough height to make it, had fun doing it. Can’t say the same for the one near hebra…

there are 2 ways i can think of to get to death mountine chasm, first is a stabalizer on 2 wheels setup in a way for a gyro setup in a box. second is going the long way of basicly anywhere else in the chasm all the way to death mountine since the majority of the underground is connected

I laughed so hard when riju strikes the lightning on the dummies and he is js like “Giga Chad”

53:56 The sand probably prevents the button from working

I love these vids linkus keep it up

30:17 The fact u had just enough hp to die to fall damage made it so much funnier

ok, i swear i will build something to go down the goron shaft without resorting to any glitches or the paraglider, im on my no fast travel playthrough anyway

37:32 footage of the mars rover landing

Feel like the skydive armor set might’ve helped a lot

the dedication is insane

Yoo that first shrine you did was my first shrine too, and I didn’t have the paraglider either! If you have a spear, you have just enough time to walk forward after hitting the spring so you can gain a little forward momentum. Def not easy though

The first shrine that you showed, I remember trying to do it without the paraglider because I didn't have the glider yet and I was getting so frustrated that I almost quit the game for good.

why i don't have the paraglider? i- i was doing a challenge... i clearly didn't miss it and did half of the regional phenomena before even knowing purah was there...

Haven't watched yet, but I've been trying to do this challenge too! I've run into a roadblock though so I'm interested to see if there's a way to get around it

"I dont want to use a hoverboard, thats too easy" 10 seconds later: "wee fun hoverboard"

I feel like this is something at at least the possibility was accounted for, if not intended, as you know, Pura has unique dialogue if you already beat everything.

"Well yours may have laser eyes, but mine breathes FI-" 19:41

how the shrine entrances look like reminds me of the temple of time entrance from twillight princess.

Kind of crazy that this video uploaded while I was watching the two parts that he had uploaded to his other channel, lol
