It’s amazing seeing the difference between the cold, calculated strats of the All Shrines runs and hitting a Lynel to death with a metal crate in a challenge run.

Wait, you're not supposed to beat lynels with metal crates?! I've been playing wrong...

This is so underrated I’m cryin lmaoooo
Zelda watching Link fight his way to Ganon without any weapons for 20 hours in the end is just like 'TAKE. THIS GOD DAMN. BOW'
Smallant: "Bombs also count as weapons, so they're not allowed."
You had my interest. Now you have my attention.
Right? I was thinking "oh ok it'll be a lot of bombs."
No boomy zoomy makes me sad
Raynman Gaming yeah at first I was like I’ve done that before
and it wasnt just no damaging enemies. i wouldnt allowed use for noncombat things at least.
Wait, he will literally just run everyone over with his horse lol
The beautiful thing about this game is that beating a Lynel to death with a metal box is totally an intended game mechanic.
the combat in botw is just a sanbox disguised as anadventure game
True
yep definitely does not break the games code nope not at alllll
@@TK1117 ya it doesnt
lol
zelda’s watching in amazement as link parries each ganon’s attack with precision again and again, only to see him literally perform a miracle by walking on air and then t-bagging said ganon. at that point, she’s thinking “why couldn’t it have been anyone else”
Alternatively, she thinks “It couldn’t have been anyone else.”
I can't believe he was able to kill a Lynel with a box, and I can't even kill one normally
I can, #lynelsareFREEE
My advice would to be to try and use burning grass so then you can float up and rain a barrage of arrows at them (I suggest the royal bow for this cause it has a high attack and one of the fastest drawing speeds)
@@splendidsimp yeah I've been able to beat them since I posted the comment, but thanks for the advice!
just rince and repeat against them soon you'll memorize every single one of there attacks and know how to parry and counter each one.
or you could just shoot it in the face until it dies
Ganon: You can't defeat me!
Link: **Pulls out shield**
Ganon: *Visibly Shaking*
But ganan can defeat ganan
Link: I know, but *you* can
I believe you mean, "Smashing Board."
Ganon: *SNIFF*
Shield*
Zelda: This is the most powerful bow in existence, use it to beat Ganon.
Link: I don’t know how to use a bow.
Do you by chance have a metal box handy 🤣🤣
Zelda: Uh okay then, the Master Sword beams-
Link: What's a "Master Sword?"
Zelda:Do you at least have a remote bom-
Link:What’s a bomb?
Zelda: Then what _can_ you do?
Link: I can box
@Sebastian Sklerov box of light

@@jacobmiller8631 Lmao
@@illuminoeye_gaming bro just shut up
yeah
Someone getting the bow tutorial when picking up the BOW OF LIGHT is absurdly funny to me
Just the image of Zelda giving link the bow of light and links just carrying it around by the string, throwing it at Gannon is too much.
Zelda: Here Link. Take this bow and defeat ganon once and for all!
Link: Right. Got it. Just um. Hold it right... here? Now, how do I parry with this?
“This shield is useless!”
LMAO
Someone needs to make an animation of this
I see it as this:
Seeing as the Bow of Light is basically forced on you at the end, and all other weapons were optional, you did beat the game without weapons.
Like in the no coins Odyssey run, where you had no choice but to get one coin, if the game forces you to do it, then it doesn't count as part of the challenge.
So, not including the one time the game forced you to use a weapon, you successfully completed this challenge. Congrats!
I don't think that's how challenge runs work
Ah, no. Even if the game forces a weapon on you, you still can't use it for a "No Weapons" challenge.
it isn't really a valid challenge unless you can go all the way even if you have to break the game to accomplish it.
@@Naokarma this probably should've been a "minimum weapons" challenge but that's not as catchy of a title for youtube lol
also technically a bow is not a weapon in botw so no weapons were used
Technically the bow of light isn’t forced. You can use any bow to defeat Ganon. Only advantage to the bow of light is that it’s infinite use. But yeah a bow is forced.

I love the glitches, but watching creative use of the game's systems in place is so impressive. I love this game so much
19:26 this part made me imagine Link as a boss whose main mechanic is attacking with that cube, and the lynel can exploit this by launching the cube away to win the boss fight
He killed lynels with boxes more easily than I could with weapons
tbf it looks easier with the box
Portal taught me about the importance of my companion cube, but this run truly opened my eyes to it's proper usage.
Later on it looks like there is a nack to using them that is pretty effective to be fair.
I know right
@@carbon1255 if you use motion controls it goes so fast

27:20 Perfect comedic timing on the part of the game tbh, the box despawning just as you were grateful that it didn't was perfection.
Imagine waiting 100 years for the saviour of humanity of Hyrule and they only use a couple of shields, iron boxes and of course, a book case.
And a suicidal horse

Crow did it without bombs a while ago.

Michael W. Unnecessary quotation marks
95% of fighting Lynels the normal way is getting the timing down for the dodge/flurry rush. And the other 5% is having enough weapons that you won't run out before the fight is over. They're actually pretty easy once you get the hang of it.

The fact this is even possible just by using the in-game mechanics is so cool. It's almost like the BOTW devs knew people would be trying challenges like this. The ability to grab only the shield out of a pile of loot is genius! Such a cool video, and amazing job Ant! Loving your content.
9:38 so that’s how you were supposed to do it. I attached Octorock Balloons to it, used Stasis on it in midair, then shot it to launch it over the wall
Imagine Ganon, living the life, but then a day later getting beaten by a person with a shield who already died.
Right as you're about to take over the world too
Why did he get multiple lynel shields anyway?
@@NoahHalfSquid Because blocking (not parrying) attacks lowers the shield's durability, and Guardian Lasers in particular instantly destroy any shield except the Hylian and Ancestral shield.
@@ZorotheGallade originally when I made that comment I thought he could use durability transfer, but I forgot bows are required lol
I'm afraid to say that it's impossible to do this in the master mode, and then, a week later he just do it
With enemies continuously regenerating, I think it is impossible. I can't even kill bokoblins with boxes. (Though I was never very good at killing things with magnesis.)
I always thought on my first play through that you would get the blights weapons after you killed them and when I was struggling to beat my first one (thunderblight) I thought “wow the wait will be so worth it!” But no... Scimitar of the seven...

Like how he started the boss rush barely able to use his shield and by the end he was a parry god
This run is the epitome of "Stop hitting yourself"
7:52 horse r a really good and usefull feathure in Zelda botw, nearly Like Rain! 8:35 here we can see another example of How usefull horses can be in Zelda botw
This is one of the best videos of Smallant. Super entertaining from start to finish.
All this time, we thought he was completing the challenge without using any weapons, but really he was just completing the challenge with his suicidal horse.
[edit] The challenge was actually for the horse to kill Link without using any weapons.
He did it
8:21 “no weapon has died 2 or 3 times now” no weapon “HOW ABOUT A LITTLE MORE”
I'm surprised he didn't snag the giant horse, though. It deals so much more damage.
I once encountered one of those flying guardians. At first, I used Magnesis to move a metal box to protect me from the lasers, but then I hid behind a wall and spent at least 10 minutes whittling its health down to 0 with only the box. Worth it.
"You did it! The Weighted Companion Cube certainly brought you good luck!"
The horror of the Lynel genocide must never be forgotten
The impressive thing about SmallAnt is that when he's speedrunning, he can still fnd some extra brainpower to be entertaining. It's not like you're expecting to be laughing pretty often, or pretty much at any point, but it's just really enjoyable.
Who would've known that when he's not trying to focus and pull of difficult acrobatic maneuvers and skips, it'd be even more fun to watch?
Side note, it seems like these last few years there have been a lot more (quantitatively, I mean) entertaining speedrunners than previously. It's going from a hardcore gaming niche, where you see some impressive shit, to something that is legitimately purely fun to watch, with that added bonus.
