- The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is pretty much my game of the year at the moment and ever since I beat it, I thought a weapon-less challenge run could be possible. So in this video I decide to find out, can you beat the game without pressing Y?
this totk challenge run has taken me over 2 weeks to film and put together and I did all of it while sick. I still am. this is my excuse for having a bad script read.

The fact nobody realizes all of the boxes at monster camps have an absurd number of arrows is insane to me. I have like 400 arrows and I’ve never bought any
I didn’t really interact with those camps very often and I had maxed out arrows by my third dungeon. Just break every crate you come across, and you’ll have more arrows than you’ll ever need.
An even better way is just doing the floating collouseum with the Lynel killer thing
fr bruh i killeed like 20 lynals and im ad 800 arrows
@@cheeesybread5594 theres probably more arrows in the game since there making up for the fact there are not elemental arrows and there is now fusing
if you're good at lynel fights the Floating colleseum gives you like 200+ arrows per gauntlet. Easily maxed out arrows while farming up parts to upgrade the barbarian armor.
Fun fact nobody mentions, Tulin's draft can be used much like Yunobo's where you can aim it on the ground and blow away sand piles or.... anything that can be blown away, really.
Including your rare items off a cliff
like a frozen boko boss, into water!
I'm getting a feeling the two replies above me are speaking from personal experience
Edit: And the replies below me, too
Like a dragon part off a sky island
Like a bunch of bombs into a hinox
This is actually really refreshing. So many challenge runs set up such fun limitations id love to see tested in the dungeons. But most of them just go straight from the great sky island to the final boss which is boring as hell
what a twist ending
Ya I watched it and realized midway through that the last scene was a qte
Fr tho
Btw beating the game is grabbing zelda's hand soooooo
@@christopherkenzogunawan6466
that is the A button
In my opinion, duping items in a single-player open world game isn't cheating, it's just playing how you wanna play.
@coltnigh308i think it is up to the player but glitches can help a lot. dupes especially as many people don’t like grinding for materials
You can apparently trap Ganondorf in the inverse circle blocks that you use while getting one of the pieces of Mineru's mech
It's the one block that doesn't get broken by any of his attacks. Coincidentally, it is also the only block in the game that you can generate with Autobuild and not have it dissolve
yeah that was found after i did the challenge
11:20 It's possible to use Sidon's ability without pressing "Y". Any weapon with a "projectile component" (ex: Cannon Clubs, Magic Rods, Master Sword, Sidon's Ability, etc.), throwing a weapon with "R" actually aims the projectile, without throwing the weapon.
Edit: After reading the comments, I guess this doesn't matter if you weren't planning on using Melee weapons anyways, but it is a loop hole to the challenge.
Actually just any weapon
could've used sidon as dps tho
water temple could of been possible, considering the master sword is REQUIRED and WILL end up in your inventory, picking it up before the last fight and using the throw attack to use sidons ability you could beat the entire dungeon without pressing Y. sure it sucks cuz you need to upgrade your stats but a good way around this is after youre done with the spirit temple, go to the dark statue and switch off your hearts to stamina, this satisfies the minimal shrine run while also satisfying the no pickup swords rule since you know youre gonna end up with the master sword anyways. good run tho
This game has been put for less than a month and you already managed to complete an insane challenge run of it, well done. (Also I now see in my play through I did everything in the wrong order cause I never saw that meeting with Bularia cause I wasn’t wondering the desert and just stumbled upon Riju, as well as just randomly finding mineru after that cause I saw a giant lighting cloud and got curious)
Same
"Hello, Nintendo support? I got a new switch and the y button doesn't work. Can I get a replacement?"
"The y button is just optional. You should be fine."
You can actually complete the water temple, just use the throw button instead and it'll shoot out Sidon's attack without having to press y.
that only works if you have a weapon equipped
@@Wagintrowl Can't you equip a weapon without pressing y?
@@EdgyPuer yeah but i had a self-imposed challenge where i didn't pick up any weapons
@@Wagintrowl fair
@Wagintrowl wouldn't the master sword allow it then?
Reminds me of all the "can you beat all of botw with no weapons/only shields/only runes/etc" challenges people did where they'd find all these clever solutions to problems, overcome every curve ball the game threw their way, before concluding, no, because you're forced to use the light bow
This is actually insane quality of content. You're gonna be huge!
Its interesting to see this run after seeing Smallant’s run without shields, bows, or weapons.
yeah, its also really interesting to see how one original idea (no weapons run) evolved into two separate ones (smant with no shield and bows, me with no y button)
Fun fact, you don't need to use the master sword to kill the final boss, laser arrays still damage his weak spots.
So the master sword is technically unneeded.
Edit: except for the final strike.
Can’t you damage him with any weapon though…
@@oqaw yes but laser arrays are more effective since when you're finishing the game your zonai amount really doesn't matter much.
I like how he completely changed the challenge to an impossible one when he could've simply made a "no new weapons run"
That would have required forethought
@@Wagintrowl Technacly your not picking up new weapons since you get the master sword at the start and your forced to get it again 2 times
@@SpicyInk but you still have to use the master sword at the end making the no weapons run invalid
Though in that rule you could get the Earthwake ability from the Yiga
But you could still throw Chuchu Jellies or Waterplants at the Boss
Thats a nice challenge because it puts your creativity to the test!
I straight up accidentally stumbled upon the Spirit Temple by deciding to explore the Sky Islands with the giant storm and just kinda fumbled my way to a big story sequence. Was lowkey bummed out I missed a portion of the story -- I had beat the game before finishing the spirit temple story 🤣
Me realising I have done literally everything the unintended way lol
underrated as hell great vid bro
You know, there aren’t a lot of UA-camrs who will straight up say “killed a hinox with a penis” most of them would refer to it as “a certain male body part” or “dick” but never the real name, for some damn reason, referring to a penis as “a penis” makes people more uncomfortable than saying vulgar things, but still, i love how you can beat monsters with your meat in this game.
They stand no chance against the penis
Am I the only one who had NO IDEA you could just dive through the weak points of the wind temple boss instead of shooting the weak points with arrows???
No, your not😭
I, also, didn't know about it. By the time I got to the Wind Temple... I already settled on using duplicated bomb arrows to solve basically any problem I was faced with. Especially. Those. Damn. Gloom. Hands.
Ah yes, the gloom hands, the new guardians
32:00 you blew up Tulin here LMAOO
Also awesome video!!
You can get to the spirit temple without the quest, it’s just harder because the storm really blocks your view. I did this, and didn’t even know the quest was a thing
17:01 i couldn't possibly refuse
High quality video!! U deserve more attention!
Great video, I liked the part at 20:00 where Tulin just falls
“The first turbine was really easy” meanwhile I was dumb and didn’t realize you could attach an icicle and then move it
I already beat the game so I was just waiting for you to do the final attack. LOL
(Meanwhile, at Zora's Domain)
Sidon still waits for Link.
o7
Loved the video bro, you're super entertaining. keep it up!
The legendary swordsman, the one who saves all of hyrule… without using a sword
its very nice of ganondorf to give an updraft, otherwise that would have been a lot harder
harder but still possible
Surely I cannot be the only one that immediately thought of the final boss sequence when reading the title
I don’t think you even need to pick up the master sword at the end
Most people say that the final attack doesn’t count because it is required
Well done! I will try the time bomb run
It’s amazing how many challenge run that Y at the end messes up
I think it shouldn't count cause it's a glorified cutscene
27:35 is the exact kind of shenanigans why I absolutely adore this game XD and as for duping... I think creating more of things you have access to is fine, because you could do that same thing without glitches, just much slower - would be different if you cheated in a second copy of a thing you're supposed to have only one of, but duping bombs and diamonds is just collecting bombs and diamonds...faster. That's how I see it.
"It didnt have enough speed to do any damage"
One of the things that always struck me about this game is how ultrahand is much less whippy than its magnesis predecessor. I think Nintendo wanted to encourage players to actually use weapons.
Sidon fact: you can use his ability by throwing away your weapon with the R button, sidon will use his ability without losing your weapon.
Had a self imposed challenge to not pick up any weapons
so whens the bow-less challenge
get this video to 20 likes then we'll talk about a bow-less challenge
@@Wagintrowl 23 likes 😏 bow-less run confirmed?
@@starcre8tion378 fuck
@Marco Bonk 😱
I haven't watched the entire video so I don't know if you found this but there is a very simple way to do damage: fuse a weapon to your shield and parry (no y press necessary.)
Edit: literally did that 2 minutes after continuing to watch :)
yeah but i found that, in my opinion, using a shield to block potential damage was better than using it to deal damage
The thumbnail is epic for dark mode users
For the water temple you could use the throw weapon attack and it would have to same actions as pressing the Y button
Had a self imposed challenge to not pick up any weapons
Fun fact when you are under one of the pillar that gives light in the depths you can do whatever you want your durability on your weapons or sheild won't go down so it's really usefull when duplicating stuff
In the fuse shrine you can fuse a boulder to your shield and parry at the rock wall to break it. Though, you didn’t have a shield soooo-
6:00 is that THE GOD SONG
(This reminds me of everytime I watched a botw video and the vah naboris battle nearby theme was in video I commented that)
Yes it is
@@Wagintrowl omg you replied! You gotta actually do the every boss but time bombs now that you said that lol
@@xthriteenx 😶
@@Wagintrowl would colgera even be possible… would gohma second phase be….. also that final attack is such a troll
@@xthriteenx I have no idea if it's possible that's why I asked other people to try it
25:05 you say as he, his son, and you have a great eagle bow
As long as you have 10 hearts you can do the spirit temple.
One note. When you drop ur creations off a ledge (such as at 7:55) you can use recall to bring them back
i did try that but it was too far away for recall to even find the path
The water temple, as far as I know, is completely possible within the rules of this challenge as you can hold R to throw a weapon, which can use Sidon's ability. If that's confusingly worded then it's what was done at the beginning of the game when the vines were broken using the decayed master sword.
0:24
when i clicked on this my first thought was "what about the final attack?"
Fun fact you can actually use Sidon's ability by instead of pressing Y, you instead try to throw your weapon as if it was the master sword for a beam, so you actually can do the water temple without pressing Y, you just need to have a weapon though
So you CAN use Sidons wave by using the R button. If it counts for those early vines then I think this would be a solution. Good job on the vid tho
i had a self imposed challenge to not pick up any weapons. also thank you!
kirby be like i have the power of friendship
There is a way to use Sidon's ability without using Y. Drop a weapon, pick it up, press R and release
Edit: on a closer look, just pressing R is enough to unsheathe your weapon so yeah, just press R
Oh that's pretty cool, if only I had used weapons
@@Wagintrowl technically it would've been within the rules, but might've been against the spirit of the challenge. Regardless, I think it is the better way to use the power since you can actually aim with it
@@eemelikorteniemi3966 yeah it 100% is
You could also just use the arch thingies from the spirit temple to jail ganondorf.
He can't break them lol.
That was found after I did the challenge
Great! Now try without X
oh god not the jump button i love that button
@@Wagintrowl We only truly know how much we love something when we don't have it anymore :]
Switch jump to B
Did not know you could just dive through. I always just 2 cycle each phase getting under and shooting arrows.
Yeah I did the same thing in my original playthrough
This challenge is getting the right answer with the wrong equation
my favourite kind of tomfoolery
Clear out the sand piles you can use Tolland
I consider this a win
The final input on a controler is the end of the game so sorry you lost:(
I thought that in the coldgera fight that you had to shot the belly and I never knew you could dive😂
I did the spirit temple before I got all the avatars. I just used a hover bike to fly up there. I didn’t even know there was a quest with the ring ruins to get you up there
Just weather the literal storm, use the Shrine Sensor as your guide, et voila! Spirit Temple is accessible.
New video title: can I beat TOTK only using archery?
But that's not the challenge
My favorite part 27:12 because you have to use those logs to build a really long bridge just to get cross to the other side to head to the boss fight like that since you can't press the y button for the rocket to get on the other side to head to the boss
i like long bridge
you can use sidons ability by pressing the button to throw your weapon with his water bubble active and when you let go he shoots his water blast without pressing y
Had a self imposed challenge to not pick up any weapons
How many shrines did you do? How many weapons did you break?And do you think it would have been more fun to play if you could have used y the whole time?
total shrines = 16
weapons broken = 0
more fun with y button? = no
You can use Sidon’s ability if you hit the throw button so water temple is possible
I'm pretty sure, just like the master sword beam slash, you can do a throw action to create a water slash where you wanted it.
Had a self imposed challenge to not pick up any weapons
A tip that probibly would have really helped is that during the gannon fight, or actually any fight
If you climb on your construct and the jump off right after you can get bullet time very very easily along as your carefull
i think the duping segment in the video demonstrates how careful i was with this challenge
Nice work! I pity whoever tries a throwing only run.
well...
There’s a neat trick in the wind temple where the third turbine ( that you did ) can be hit through the gate without doing the puzzle, which I discovered because I’m too stupid to do the puzzle
one of my friends did that in their initial playthrough but didnt tell me which turbine it was, so i just did all of them normally
yo thanks for responding, understood glad I could clarify smth
throwing an item can turn on zonai devices
To save you people time when you see a “challenge video” like this one i if you can deal damage then the answer is yes
Not always, sometimes it's a hypothetical
Hey, I've got a pro tip for you: Recall exists. You don't need to look for other and another ways to reach somewhere after you fail, just recall your rafts, baloons and so forth back to you. How did you even finish the game without knowing it? Did you even finish it before attempting the run?
I had tried using recall but it was too far away for it to work
little did he know, to finish the game, you are required to press y
If you want to be able to do more you could possibly use the yiga ability you can get (not sure if this counts tho)
I didn't even know earthwake existed when doing the challenge but that uses the y button so I wouldn't be able to use it anyway
Short answer: no you cannot because quick time events
You can actually compete the water temple by pressing R for Sidon's water power
You can go through the bottom of the d segments for the colters fight
You could have also dropped the boulder right next to the stone walls in the fuse shrines and they would break after a few tries
One bomb can knock the robot enemies and use yunobo to push it to the ring
riju helped a ton with the construct, but it makes me wonder if you could just pull out some carts and push the construct away to the ropes while it's stunned / frozen
This has the quality and production value of a verified channel! You deserve more recognition.
Changes the attack button to A **its fine**
Can you use the earthquake ability in the clan
No that requires the y button
The second I saw the video I realized that the bosses last hit had to be Y
Should've changed the control layout at the end so it requires a different button.
You can beat the water dungeon cause if you activate the ability and throw a weapon the weapon won’t throw but send the water instead that’s actually one of the intended ways to do one of the puzzles
i had a self imposed challenge to not pick up any weapons
So entertaining! Great video dude :)
Thankies
Wait THATS how you kill colgera?!?! I thought you shoot a arrow at the week spots a few times and fire arrows make you instantly open the week part instead of having to shoot it more times.
You can use the wind from the bird to clear the sand. You didn't need the fan
Can we all agree the collgera boss fight music is really good
👇
one of the best tracks hands down
People who want to play this game with a busted y button be like
I just went to the spirit temple, cause I didnt know there was a quest, i still have the storm there, i could eventually do it but, it dont matter i have that dude now
7:57 here you could’ve used recall to bring the balloon back and then gotten back onto it and it would’ve floated up to where you wanted to go.
by the time i reacted, it was too far away
