One small thing that I instantly like about the video is that he referenced that people might be thinking about Dark Beast at the beginning rather than ignoring it and pretending to be surprised later.
Honestly, I think dealing the final blow to Dark Beast Ganon with the Master Sword is more poetic than with the Bow of Light that was barely introduced that very fight.
My thought exactly. When he pointed out he can get the master sword down to 2 hits before it "breaks" and thus deals twice as much the last hit, I was just laughing and grinning.
so you really can hit the eye of dark beast. i guess i gotta do my run again. i had diffrent rules but i got stuck on beast but now i can do it :D i had a really funny way to remove fire blights shield but i cost me my sanity and many hours of my life
@@xMakezxI did a run of this like two years ago but had to use bombs and give up and use the bow of light in the end cause I had no clue how to beat fire blight or dark beast without them ;(
Hey Limcube! Magnesis isn't the only way to damage thunderblight when he's up in the air. You can also stasis+ him, and hit him with any projectile/beam.
The upgraded Master Sword doesn't make a lot of sense with the lore that has been built up around the Master Sword anyway. At least the way in which it is upgraded anyway.
If this was a video about peeling garlic with this level of editing and storytelling it'd already be amazing, but the challenge is super interesting as well! This definitely belongs into the pantheon of godlike videos. Dude, your videos are Kunstwerke.
I tried a one-handed-weapons-only run not too long ago, where I never equipped shields, bows, spears or heavy weapons, and was so disappointed to be stumped at the very last hit on Ganon. I'm happy to learn that it is possible, thanks for the cool video!
This is super cool! Also I think there are other ways to do the final hit on dark beast. If I remember correctly, it doesn't matter how you trigger bullet time for the final hit so you can bomb parry with the right timing to use the parry slow down frames right when the beam would hit ganon.
I asked this exact question to myself before, and then played through the challenge myself. Your run was absolutely amazing! my run did allow use of bow, so I only get half points
fun fact, you dont need the boomerang to beat thunderblight, as you can climb the stairs and do a jump attack on the boss. That will make him skip its pillar attack.
Hey Lim, you always try to show something really new. This is different from most of the other BOTW UA-camrs who keep bringing the same thing ever and ever, almost copying from each other, it's so boring ... so, you are one of my favourites, keep it up in entertaining us 👍
The Master Sword Beam is one of the few projectiles that can damage Dark Beast Ganon. The others are Arrows of Light, fired from either the Bows of Light or Twilight, or Ancient Arrows, fired from any bow except for bows that fire Arrows of Light.
If you can do blight skip with the master sword beam, you can do all other divine beasts and then do the skip then beat calamity Gan in and finally do the dark beast Gan on fight. It would take a while, but it might just work.
As someone who plays Breath of the Wild now this is actually a BRUTAL challenge given the fact there are a lot of ranged enemies in the game and the master Sword has a high requirement to obtain it in this game to my knowledge...I would not even want to attempt this...
You can take it one step further and break Thunderblight's shield with the Master Sword. The blights have a mechanic where they disappear if you get too far away from the arena, and there is a neat spot in Hyrule Castle where you can trigger this behaviour. There is a broken Guardian in the ceiling that you can climb into and chill for a bit. Thunderblight will disappear and only come back when you jump down. He will then imediately teleport and resume the metal pillars attack. But if you spin attack at just the right time, you can break his shield before he moves and end that cycle. He will then fight you like normal, allowing you to defeat him with just the Master Sword. No boomerangs needed!
(Side mission in Tears of the Kingdom spoiler) . . . It is even funnier knowing that cannonically Link didnt retrieve the sword until after beating the Calamity (as shown in memory retrieved from Great Deku Tree)
I dont think it would work but theoretically, cant you use master sword beam while walking into the arena to deal some easy damage just like the arrow speedrun glitch? Im not into botw that much but I just like these videos so im not sure
I went through a loss of a Grandparent earlier this Year. I’m so sorry and I hope I can atleast help you to get through some of the Pain with some entertainment.
While getting the 150 damage master sword is pretty cool, could you not use the statis plus rune to freeze fireblight, then hit it 6-9 times with the master sword while wearing barbarian armour with an attack up 3 bonus? That would also oneshot him if you got him just before his second phase healthwise.
I think it was gamechamp who found this it might have been someone else but I only know him doing it. If you have a way to get above thunder blight you can use the paraglider and use the air attack from the paraglider so you do the plunge attack you can knock out thunder from his lightning attack
A shame dealing the final hit still requires bullet time. At the start of the vid I had the foolish hope a new way had been found that would make the no-stamina run possible... Edit: Ah, I just read about the bomb parry method. :)
5:00 the UA-camr Gamechamp3000 actually addressed this in their "Can you beat botw without pausing" video. Basically you have to go to the very top level of the stairs, and then jump off and down-slash into thunderblight
Could you do one of these with the bow of light using the early bow of light glitch? Not sure if it’s possible, or if it’s to easy, but could be cool to look into!

Bow of Light has the advantage of being a weapon seen in Twilight Princess, Spirit Tracks, A Link Between Worlds and a few other games though.
vs the entirely optional master sword
@@ravio5868 Technically not in TP, as you can get the actual Twilight Bow from an amiibo.
I'm also pretty sure the bow represents Zelda, so it's her finally getting to finish off the Calamity alongside her old friend

Very crispy

Shoutouts to the one guy in chat
"All right I gotta see how this master sword shit works"
"WHAT"
Cool editing and flow to the video. I like that it wasnt just a playthrough where we discovered these roadblocks when they came up. Big fan!
This is super cool! Also I think there are other ways to do the final hit on dark beast. If I remember correctly, it doesn't matter how you trigger bullet time for the final hit so you can bomb parry with the right timing to use the parry slow down frames right when the beam would hit ganon.
Exactly what i thought
I mentioned this, when I said you can parry, but the updraft is much easier
I will agree tho that the parry is much cooler
@@Limcube Oh cool, I must have missed that
But what if you miss and deal damage to yourself? That's a non-master sword damage lol.
You are the master of the sword
Awesome video! Also, the use of the Weight of Life was perfect! The pause before it’s second verse after killing fire blight was so hype
This feat is the definition of "where there is a will there is a way" :)
I really like these kind of challenges.
Also your music taste is amazing, can't go wrong with Xenoblade Chronicles.
link's adventure was more difficult then we thought...
awesome video!
This is not a challenge, this is playing as the main character properly.
I asked this exact question to myself before, and then played through the challenge myself. Your run was absolutely amazing!
my run did allow use of bow, so I only get half points
Seeing fireblight defeated in just 2 hits is crazy! GG on this run man!
fun fact, you dont need the boomerang to beat thunderblight, as you can climb the stairs and do a jump attack on the boss. That will make him skip its pillar attack.
Yep the old run I mentioned did that so I wanted to show something else
13:12 people be eating anything to restore their health 😂
Awesome video! Nice one Lim, I'm super happy to see you still enjoying BotW. I hope you enjoy TotK too.
"Watch out for that sword"
For Thunderblight, you could also plunge attack them to interrupt their lightning attack. So, you don't even need to use the boomerang.
"The glitch involves eating your sheika slate!?"
Alrighty and- wait wHAT
I love this video. I’m so excited to see you speedrun Totk. It’s gonna be insane.
After more than 5 years. It has been done. Killing Dark Beast with the master sword. Like it should have been done in the first place (imo)
Indeed, this feels rather the way to use the sword that seals the darkness
Amazing seeing the spectacularly edited version of the stream!
Oh thats where the sheikah slate went.
The sword beam hit on dark beast is the most difficult part of this god damn
Ganon: I need 100 years, then no one can stop me!
Link: Bow? No thanks, I’ll just have my sword
Core Keeper Soundtrack at 10:20 Really nice to anything about Core Keeper in a video hahaha
SUCH a cool challenge run. SUPER interesting. I’m a HUGE ist nerd, so it was SO cool to see. GREAT video.

Always love it when I watch a new channel and I can immediately hear the german out of them
“He is fireblight… and there goes fireblight”Limecube 2022 😂
The first truly master sword only run. GGs pal!
5:07 you could also just go up high jump and attack him with the sword in midair.
Also I Like the xenoblade music
The Xenoblade 3 music is so hype
Also all that setup for Fireblight
The Master Sword Beam is one of the few projectiles that can damage Dark Beast Ganon. The others are Arrows of Light, fired from either the Bows of Light or Twilight, or Ancient Arrows, fired from any bow except for bows that fire Arrows of Light.

I'm so happy I found this I've been needing good BOTW content and the Hollow Knight Ost fits so well.
Lol Daruk was warning Fireblight to watch out for the sword.
As someone who plays Breath of the Wild now this is actually a BRUTAL challenge given the fact there are a lot of ranged enemies in the game and the master Sword has a high requirement to obtain it in this game to my knowledge...I would not even want to attempt this...
“After precisely firing all my beams into dark beast” 💀
‘After solving all the puzzles’ shows clip of him skipping the puzzle 😂
You could just parry the fireball to break Fire Blights shield.
What an amazing run!! Love the Xenoblade music you used too by the way XD
1:12 …..by whispers of destiny,………calling out your name 💃🏽 🎶

you can also just jump attack him from an updraft, but the boomerang is the easiest way for this ruleset

"This should be quick"
It was, indeed, quick.
Dude that was a sick strat with beast ganons eye
2:45 Also, if it does break, you can just stall until it recharges, and near malice it takes only half the usual time.
Wait so if you're nearby the Goopy stuff the Master sword has a shorter cool down? That's so cool I never knew that
@@vigorouspringle8962 I think I remember so, and it powers up near that so it would make sense. The Champion abilities definitely do.

When you know all the background music, you know you gotta go out and touch some grass.
Why touch grass when I can touch my Nintendo Switch Pro Controller and play more Xenoblade?
