Today I want to talk about 10 brand new ways that you could play Legend of Zelda Breath of The Wild. Now I’m not going to lie, some of these are going to be a fun variation of a way to play The Legend of Zelda Breath of The Wild and some are going to be a little bit more of a challenging way to play it. You could also choose two or several of these new ways to play in. I’ve also given all of these some really fun nicknames, so you can kind of pretend that there are achievements since you know Nintendo still doesn’t believe in those. Putting all this together took quite a while, and with no further ado, let’s get into it.
number one is going to be a three heart only run. This includes new, temporary hearts or me for a stew, be active. You’re also allowed to swap for some hearts to get the Master Sword but then exchange it right back at the statue at head Tino village.
number two is to remove the safety net of what happens when you run out of Hearts, you die. So no more grace or fairies to help prevent that ever inevitable death. This is a bit more of a challenging one. And a little bit more for people who are pretty experienced with the game is no extended stamina. This includes temporary stamina, so you can want to have to be real choosy on what Clips you want to scale. I also recommend upgrading your climbing gear because that set bonus is really helpful or forget about climbing all together, no climbing is allowed. You can run up a mountainside, but as soon as you grab a wall, you have to tap B immediately to let go.
Number three is a fun one, this is called Eventide. So basically, what you want to do is one whole tower region and when you’re done, drop your entire inventory. This makes your plotting of what to get from every region very, very important and getting all the shrines there before moving on is an absolute must. This one is quite simple: don’t spend any rubies, yes, people may call you frugal or thrifty or penny wise or just flat-out cheap, but don’t spend any of those precious rupees that you found
number four is a survivalist and which you’re not allowed to buy or sell Items to or from anyone, in fact, try not to be talking to anyone only info, and maybe the old man, and this pretty much means that the only armor that you’re going to get in the game is going to be from the chests. You’re not allowed to buy It from anyone because it involves talking to people and I’m a little too socially awkward to talk to people.
number five, which is no fast travel everywhere. You want to go in the game. You have to go on foot. This won’t be very interesting because you’ll start to see more NPCs and more randomly generated events take place. You might even see some more weird game physics stuff happen. You only have one life link, one life to live one life to die just like the rest of us. If you get a game over screen, that’s it game over. I recommend not mixing this with the three heart challenge unless you’re that hardcore, I’m not going to be focusing on play styles that affect your inventory throughout the game. All that armor you got well you’re not allowed to upgrade it only Stark armor for you. So no unlocked abilities for this set. The nice part is you’ll, be saving a lot of rubies and you don’t need to pay those price.
Gouging fairies. Number six is a full-on nudist run not like that. Not how you’re imagining it does. It takes a very skilled player to do a game without the Zora armor for going up waterfalls. So that’s one piece you’re allowed only when necessary, but without resistance from the cold or heat you’re going to be making a lot of tonics. Also, you can get the gorilla outfit only to go into town, but if all of that is a little too annoying with all the tonic crafting, then you could do a handicapping. You’re also allowed jewelry from Gerudo town since that’s technically not clothing, you want to put that Giant Amiibo collection of yours to good use, the only armor you’re allowed to wear in your playthrough must be obtained from Amiibo drops. While we’re doing all this Amiibo scanning. How about the only items you could pick up in your inventory can be from Amiibos and doko. Save spamming either, or perhaps you only have one Amiibo great. You can use only the items and/or armor from it. Now that’s a little bit more hardcore. You know what really grinds my gears getting to a rare far-off place and I thought there was an awesome item for me, but no there’s only a rock with a little forest-dwelling creature under it who hands me his poop, so no poop, the stock inventory.
number seven is no shields. You’re not allowed to pick up or use any shields for any reason, no blocking nor deflecting no outfit customization and, of course, no shield surfing, maybe you’re not a fan of full-on frontal attacks. How about playing like an assassin? The only kills you’re allowed to do are going to be stealth kills. Also, you find yourself traveling at night a lot more. You can also use the Sheikah stealth, armor white, and grain or sort of do a cosplay of Ezio out the third ray from Assassin’s Creed. You know who’s a good boy. Wolf link is a good boy. Yes he is, you should let him come with you on your adventure. He’s man’s best friend, make sure you have wolf link to you, the entire game. Never ever let him die so you just feed him with lots of sticks because he likes steaks.
The next one is also a way to make your play style a little bit more immersive. You think that while you’re fighting that mob he is just going to wait for you to strip him down and change your clothes mid-fight? Nah dawg! So for this one, once you enter a fight, you can’t pause your game or change clothes or recover. You will go with timings and predict an enemy’s movements then the only attacks you can do are flurry attacks. Now, this is going to handicap a few shrines but try doing an entire playthrough with no bows whatsoever. You’re going to get a real fun appreciation for the spears, with the long throw upgrade. I guarantee it.
Number nine is no upgraded runs and that’s because your shaky slate is a very old model and it’s not compatible with the new operating system so because of that Apple doesn’t support it anymore. This means that you won’t be able to have those strong bombs or freeze enemies or, worst of all, you won’t be able to use the camera app, no selfies for Link now, there’s a real fun one you’re only allowed to play with one class of weapon. Just pick one class and that’s all you could use one-handed swords or two-handed swords or Spears, but if a single class of weapon is a little too mainstream for you, you want to do something a little bit more niche. You are only allowed to have one single type of weapons such as rusty weapons only or only ancient weapons. I like to call that one lumberjack flame-based weapons or ice base or electric based or Eagle weapons only or household item and farming tools only. Only enemy weapons such as bow Copland weapons, or only Lizalfos or stall weapons like Noblin arms tribe weapons. Only such as Garuda weapons or Zorro weapons, the list really goes on and on – and I know I could have filled the list with like 20 different types of weapons, but that’d be bloatware. And if all those categories of weapons is a load too confusing for you well, my head hurt just trying to write it and read it out loud how about just nice, simple bows, only I’m pretty sure you could do it. You’ll, probably just need to stock up on arrows quite a bit, but wait. I think I can complicate bows too so now you’re not allowed to use regular arrows only elemental and bomb arrows.
The last strategy on our list is going to be a bomber man. So, let’s have a little chaos; only bombs and bomb arrows are allowed. Nothing else just make sure you avoid rainy areas with those bomb arrows. Let’s take a look at all those things that link shoves into his rathole. The first way to switch things up is you’re only allowed to eat uncooked food. In fact, no cooking at all. This immediately makes it so you won’t have options of buffs from cooked food or tonics. Let’s be a little bit more health-conscious than eating all that uncooked chicken there, so no birds or meat or fish or snails, or crabs and no tonics from bugs either. This is technically called a Lacto-Ovo vegetarian diet, as you can still have. Animal by-products, such as eggs and milk, have fun with a diet of mushrooms and mighty thistles. Hmm, you know what let’s go full vegan everything that vegetarians abide by put also no animal by-products. This includes no milk or butter and no dragon parts either so forget about the three spring shrines. Also, we’re going to consider monsters as monsters and not animals. So I guess Monster extract is alright, although I’m still not technically too sure about what it is. Oh, that reminds me, you also really shouldn’t be using the snow, quill armor or the climbing gear, or the barbarian gear, or the radiant gear, or the snow boots and sand boots or any of the wild sets or the any of the Lynx set or any armor. That has any animal parts or bones or leather, etc. Wow going vegan is harder than I thought. Someone says: how are you playing breadth of the wild, also you’re still allowed to eat, rocks and trees. Since that’s pretty much what vegans eat anyways, you know it’s even more hardcore than being vegan, no food at all. Only Sonic’s full cleanse diet for you, the nice part is all the food can be sold to the beetle and by small insects and animals from him. Here’s a helpful hint, the only tonic that’s going to recover hearts is cooked with a hearty lizard native to the Gerudo desert and then included.
Guys, that’s going to be wrapping up 10 brand new ways for you to play Legend of Zelda Breath of The Wild. If you beat it, if you’re an absolute ace of the game, pick up a few of these mark it down and determine if this is the type of run that you will be doing.
