Can you beat Breath of the Wild WITHOUT USING STAMINA?

Sometimes you think Breath of the Wild is a little too easy (Master Mode not enough for you?) so I thought it would be fun to do a challenge like this. Because no one's beaten the game with no weapons or no bows before. So world record?

Breath of the Wild with only bombs honestly had some insane strategies involved. Not a speedrun but oh so much fun.

Before anyone says it, it's impossible to beat Dark Beast Ganon without using Bullet-time. This playthrough was everything in the game UP TO Calamity Ganon.

What does no stamina mean? No stamina means: No climbing, no running, no swimming, no charging weapons, no taming horses (although there's a fun workaround for that one down below), etc. Anything that uses the green stamina bar is not allowed!

So Honestly, this run was not as hard as the no weapons/no bows/only bombs playthrough I did. There was more theorycrafting, cheese, and skill in that one, but this one had other challenges. For example:

How did you get out of the beginning area, the Shrine of Resurrection?

Yeah! You have to climb to get out. There was this video by Gamechamp3000 where he beat the game without climbing and found a really cool strategy to get out by pushing blocks. However, with a no-stamina challenge, I couldn't push blocks. I ended up having to clip out of the Shrine of Resurrection, navigate below the building in no-mans-land wihtout climbing, and clip back into the game. It was quite the ordeal and the opening cutscene was absolutely broken. It was hilarious

How did you get to the Bombs Shrine? It's surrounded by walls!

Metal doors and metal planks are your friend. I tried to use the metal door nearby to make a bridge, however it was too short. There's a metal plank intended for another puzzle in the lake by the Magnesis shrine, so I lugged that across the Great Plateau and it worked perfectly. I got out by teleporting back to Magnesis.

How did you get off the Great Plateau?

Fall damage cancelling! You don't take any damage falling from heights if you throw your weapon right as you're descending. If you let go of the throw animation almost before you hit the ground and then open your quick-menu to change weapons (and change weapons) you take no damage! It's a lot easier than I make it sound through text. I highly recommend you check out the video if you want to replicate it.

How did you get a horse?

So getting a horse isn't required in the least, but I thought I might go over something most people don't know about the game. You don't have to tame horses that bokoblins ride. If you knock the enemy off their horse, you can get on without having to tame it!

Those were mainly the struggles. Once you're out of the Great Plateau, it's incredibly easy to get anywhere. You don't need to climb to get to Hyrule Castle, to get the Ancient Shield, the Hylian Shield, or any incredible weapons. The only combat-invasive part of the challenge was no running. There were a lot of close-calls since I couldn't dodge some of the Blight's attacks in time (looking at you, Thunderblight). Tons of fun, and totally recommend this challenge to anyone if you want to spice up the difficulty for BOTW :)
