    Sooo...I guess I was wrong about the glitch being patched! Fly freely, friends.
    Edit: I haven't tested it because I'm still on 1.1.0, but the word is that L-menu cancelling, which allows the infinite height glitch, was patched in 1.2.0. I don't have confirmation of this, though.

    Super underrated. U take challenges to the extreme. I suggested the “Medal Hunter” before. Idk if u remember or if u wanna do it, but it’d be great to watch. The rules are beat every dungeon with the loot acquired from the mini bosses that have medals of honors, and u can buy stuff by selling the loot and every Medal of Honor must be acquired. There are 6 of them. Most of ur challenge runs are way above others with mils of subs. Keep of the amazing work.

    Just a heads up, it is possible to reach the wing dispenser on the tutorial island without any runes. In my casual playthrough, for some reason I went up the cold area without going to the locked door at the Temple of Time first. You have to push one of the wooden boxes out of the nearby ruined building, towards the little platform where you would use ascend, and then you can climb onto the box, and from there, onto the upper area.

    • @Fishy_17

      You're... not far off, actually. Zuggling (the glitch abused in Any% pre-1.1.2 to get infinite damage and skip the boss rush among other things) actually uses the map rune to buffer. It doesn't skip GSI, but it does skip pretty much everything else lmao.

    • @Fishy_17
      @Fishy_17 Рік тому +1

      The most likely ability require to skip the GSI is fuse and ultrahand combined, to do a text dive with a korok. You need ultrahand to make some sort of vehicle to control where you’re going, and fuse to perform FE to get pushed off the wing.

Then he wouldn't have gotten the replacement arm.
    Actually, another playthrough could be something like, what if Link only used the abilies that were in Breath of the Wild? Can rewind, but only to keep objects still. Can use ultrahand but only on... metal objects? I think it was only metal in BotW. Can use camera.

      Ah sorry, glad you enjoyed what you saw, though! The fire temple is the only one I did.

    I got good news for you. Carpal tunnel is a medical procedure that is soooo mundane that the complications are virtually 0 and it’s fairly well alleviated

    Alternative challenges "The Germaphobe" challenge: Don't touch any of those unsanitary weapons or shields, so no weapons for you (Yiga unarmed attack is permitted, but good luck acquiring it without equipping weapons, as all other weapons and shields are banned).
    Also
    The "My paraglider is torn" challenge: your paraglider is not usable, if you skydive from any height, best aim for water or find a way to get to the islands with the glide suit via Zonai devices, because you have nothing else to negate fall damage.
    Or to simply combine them,
    the "Toilet hand" challenge: you can only use runes and Zonai constructs to beat the entire game. (getting the unbreakable Zonai construct items from the leg factory is permissible for the sake of boss fights.)
