20 years ago, my father left to get cigarettes and never returned. Today he came back just to tell me to watch the new Kiwi video with him. Thank you for fixing my family.
I feel like the easiest way to get around food would be eat it while full health and wait for any buffs to wear of before moving forward so you ultimately gain nothing except an inventory slot back out of it.
To clarify, he hasn't been dead/missing for all that time; him and the princess have been rebuilding hyrule for all that time, but recently, gloom began seeping from out under the castle, leading to... the opening cutscene, and *then* Link goes missing for... maybe days to a week or so?
Minor lore correction, Purrah intentionally deaged herself in BotW, it was just accidental how far back she went. Shes also not back to normal here since she's supposed to be over 100 years old, which was the reason she was experimenting with deaging in the first place. Very entertaining concept for a challenge, love the video! I hope you can forgive me being a bit pedantic haha
Something I never considered until now: what if Purah didn't actually find an efficient way to re-age herself back to an adult, and instead she just waited it out? We know it's been a few years, and it's hard to tell how old she was biologically in BotW...
@@chipwiseman2Her diary mentioned she was in her 120's. Sheika live a long time. She de-ages herself to be about 7 in the first and about 7 years passed until TOTK. She was working on a re-aging formula before link showed up.
For surviving the cold in Hebra, you can fuse a Fire Like stone to a shield. Works the same as a ruby. For the Spirit Temple, the only requirement is that you initiate the Regional Phenomena quest by talking to Purah after getting the paraglider. You can bypass the 10-hearts door by ascending from below, but Mineru’s owl mask thing won’t activate without starting that quest, which means you need to at least acquire the paraglider.
Oh wow I never actually thought about fire like stones, and there was me talking about them in the first video! I don't want to spoil anything about whether or not I managed those two, although you've probably pieced it together anyway
oooh interesting challenge! can't wait for more edit: as of the beginning of the game, link and zelda had only been missing for a few weeks. the game itself takes place 6 or so years post botw
Showed this vid to my Gran and she told me she's gonna give the challenge a go. She only has a laptop that runs windows 7 so I'm not sure how she'll do that but I'll encourage her all the same.
13:15 Dinraal parts also give heat when fused, I normally carry a warm and a cold shield early on Also ironically there’s 2 rare ore deposits on the Great Sky Island and they both give a guaranteed ruby
Hey, I'm going through my first actual TotK run myself! So it's really cool to see you doing a personalized run while I'm doing my first generic one! I'm listening to it while I'm playing, so it feels like I'm playing right along with you. 😄
Another possible solution to the cold is to let yourself die. You are brought back with full hearts when you continue, so you just have to remember to save shortly before you die to avoid losing progress.
so here are my suggestions. wind temple would be possible, as you can use fire monster horns to protect you from the cold (they're not in botw, I believe). I think also the fire temple would be possible if you gather enough splash fruits and make yourself wet. other than that... yeah impossible unless you add exeptions for mandatory items, which I would find much more interesting.
Hello Kiwi, I am a representative at Twin Galaxies. I'm sure you've heard of us. Unfortunately, we cannot "let you have this one": please redo the entire video and do the skip properly. You'll be hearing from our lawyers if this is not done in the next 38 seconds.
yesterday I looked up fun challenges to do in botw/totk and wasn't satisfied with any of the ones that I saw. this one seems interesting though! can't wait for part 2!
This challenge looks really hard, specially since you can't use the paraglider and even use potions/food to protect from environment damage, like cold and heat
I feel like the Paraglider was excessive, because it is technically a different one from the BotW version. Maybe this is just nit picky, but I feel there’s a valid argument for it
dearest algorithm, i write this in order to feed you, feed you so that my favourite video game masochist named after a flightless bird gets more eyeballs on his videos
holy shit, you do totk too!!! a man of many talents!!! this video is brilliant as always, love your editing and narration style :] super eager to see how this goes!
So begins the tale of how Kiwi saved Hyrule but in the process of neglecting the Gerudo, and Zoras a civil war broke out. Tune in for pt 2 where Kiwi loses what little sanity he had left.
16:45 Timber found a way to skip the the Great Sky Island and go straight to the final boss 8 months ago. It requires a lot of preparation, glitches and A LOT of waiting, but there is a way to leave the GSI with only 3 hearts.
Ever watched the Zelda cartoon? You know that scene where he jumps on the bomb with his shield? You could have done that (fusing a bomb flower to your shield) to get down the chasm since it will cancel your fall damage
The camera isn't an item, it's a purah pad feature (like the map). And it was programmed by modern people, not the ancient sheika like the ability on the slate. Using the purah pad is fine. But I'm disappointed you made a raft exactly like the design in Breath of the Wild.
22:35 couldnt you just lift the ventilator up, then back down with the god-hand thingy, and then stand on top of it and reverse time? (I might regret leaving this comment in-case you find that out later in the run).
When you were in the cold in the Great Sky Island and did the save trick, after you got the flame-emitter shield you could have set the pieces of grass on fire to keep yourself warm as you were walking. That’s what I did because I had missed the peppers entirely.
bro a fall damage cancel is easy! i know what you were doing wrong! you were in the diving state (like when your air born and press R) also things will be very diffrent if your playing on v1.2.1
This is the second time I've clicked on a recommended video from you (the first being the Dark Souls one) without realising it was from the "Catching every pokemon in dex order" Guy. I've never (successfully) played Dark Souls, and have never played Totk, but enjoyed your video style, and accent so much, that I watched them anyways! Keep up the great work!
7:04 you aren't *technically* required to get a heart container to leave. Timber was able to completely skip GSI, and beat the gannon fight with only 3 hearts. though Rubies do appear to be needed for the army fight. And also you wouldnt be doing any of the rest of this as the only things in that run were set up and the army/gannon fights. Though I think Timber had a later video walking around after skipping gsi, too. Anyway my point is it is possible to get off GSI without a 4th heart, but entirely not worth it for the sake of this challenge. Heres the GSI skip video: th-cam.com/video/qtCyWiOd1n8/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=Timber
I don't know how I didn't manage to find this video but thanks for the info - I'd probably lose my mind attempting this (and my own video likely still wouldn't be finished yet) but good to know that theoretically I could do this without getting a 4th heart
Small keys are probably okay to use, because they have a different icon and are Zonai instead of Sheikah. It's a similar case to the lights of blessing, just without a name change. Also, can't you just eat banned food while your health is full? If the meal has an effect, you could: - Get the same effect with a longer time through different means (I think this would work...) - Simply wait the effect out and not make use of it - Get the full effect beforehand (in the case of extra stamina or hearts)
Yeah water existed in botw so link can't get wet here Nah I needed to jump down that specific chasm in Central hyrule as its the main one connected to the big central mine
They are different enough I'd say to allow myself to get away with it - the purah pad is zelda's new version that she leaves for link, not actually sure what happens to the original sheikah slate though
New item since it wasn't an item in botw (I would have also allowed myself to get the yiga set since it wasn't available as an item in breath of the wild)
Once again, I can happily watch you play a game I don't like and have no interest in, because you make a damn good video on it, looking forward to the future parts!
You start by saying that you won't use the weapon that we all recognize as the "Master Sword" only to use it a moment later. What was the point of that? If it was supposed funny it fell flat, completely.
he failed a speedrun tactic and decided to be honest and say he failed while he could've just as well used someone else's footage for that and found another workaround, that's all
There was a big thing a few weeks ago where nintendo supposedly retconned the timeline, I wish I didn't put that into the video now though because it turned out to be false info
20 years ago, my father left to get cigarettes and never returned. Today he came back just to tell me to watch the new Kiwi video with him. Thank you for fixing my family.

Acthually Link's been playable in BotW so you can't use him 🤓
Oh sh*t. Time to stop working and watch the new Kiwi video
Did you know that there is a well that leads to the depths and you fall into water.
I learned this when playing no paraglider.
I love the skyrock approach, though.
@@izme1000 I also did a similar thing with a log and holding onto the side
For surviving the cold in Hebra, you can fuse a Fire Like stone to a shield. Works the same as a ruby.
For the Spirit Temple, the only requirement is that you initiate the Regional Phenomena quest by talking to Purah after getting the paraglider. You can bypass the 10-hearts door by ascending from below, but Mineru’s owl mask thing won’t activate without starting that quest, which means you need to at least acquire the paraglider.

@@KillerKiwi1642the elemental dragon bits also provide heating/cooling effects, although I expect they’re banned in this run
Two more I can think of are Fire Lizal horns and Igneo Talus Hearts.
@@Snowstorm174 The dragon spike shards are new to TotK, so those could work.
This really was Beating Tears of the Kingdom without using BotW items
I was kinda hoping that you wouldn't be using glitches but then I realised that would probably be too much grinding if not straight up impossible
oooh interesting challenge! can't wait for more
edit: as of the beginning of the game, link and zelda had only been missing for a few weeks. the game itself takes place 6 or so years post botw

Also ironically there’s 2 rare ore deposits on the Great Sky Island and they both give a guaranteed ruby
Most fire variants of monster and dragon parts give a weapon an actual temperature.
That’s what I was thinking with the ore deposits as well.
I don’t have time to watch this now but I will be. I will soon.
Love how creative you are with the ideas for these challenge runs. I subbed for the pokemon videos and the other games are an incredible bonus!
Hey, I'm going through my first actual TotK run myself! So it's really cool to see you doing a personalized run while I'm doing my first generic one! I'm listening to it while I'm playing, so it feels like I'm playing right along with you. 😄
I’m stuck in bed with Covid very bored and I’m so grateful for this series. I love obscure Zelda challenges to pass the time lol
Babe kiwi posted its time to invest all of our autism into this master crafted video
Another possible solution to the cold is to let yourself die. You are brought back with full hearts when you continue, so you just have to remember to save shortly before you die to avoid losing progress.
a game idea: perfection on stardew valley if it hasnt yet be recommended
I am a big stardew enjoyer and have 100%'d it before so there's always the possibility that I'll do it again
Nice, a Zelda game. Love those too. Commented for the algorithm 🙂
loophole for the paraglider: the paraglider are different in both games so technically the one in totk is new
Your videos are so peaceful, and that’s just what I need for today. It’s time to get comfy
Glad to hear that, it's the vibe that I am going for :)
so here are my suggestions. wind temple would be possible, as you can use fire monster horns to protect you from the cold (they're not in botw, I believe).

I'm afraid I didn't let your lawyers into my house, I was too busy editing part 2
I’m glad to see another member of the korok space program
(What do you mean space is up!?)
yesterday I looked up fun challenges to do in botw/totk and wasn't satisfied with any of the ones that I saw. this one seems interesting though! can't wait for part 2!
I love accidentally stumbling upon new small youtubers!!

I'm surprised I'm already subscribed, but I'm glad I am
Last time I was this early the wife left me 🥺 Great video chief 👌
I did the spirit temple without beating all the 4 first, I went through the thunderstorm without dissipating it
So begins the tale of how Kiwi saved Hyrule but in the process of neglecting the Gerudo, and Zoras a civil war broke out. Tune in for pt 2 where Kiwi loses what little sanity he had left.
Awesome! I’m excited to see you branching into other games I love. Keep up the great work!
Looking around the map at the end killed me.
V Funny.

Kiwi: [senses sanity and happiness returning after making a traumatic video]
Also Kiwi, internally: Not on my watch
For the dupe glitch, you can shield surf on flat ground if you pause just after hopping on the shield
This is the second time I've clicked on a recommended video from you (the first being the Dark Souls one) without realising it was from the "Catching every pokemon in dex order" Guy.

Thank you thank you:)
Maybe the fact you don't have a tagline could be your tagline?
Would be a funny little joke.
I'm pretty sure the plural of Keese is just Keese (not Keeses). Kinda like Fish
Honestly I feel you should have at least allowed yourself to use arrows as they exist in every zelda game
Zelda series lets gooooooooooooo
That was such a great video, looking forward to the rest💖 I do think spirit temple will be possible but I am guessing you will know that by now.
Fire and Spirit Temples are definitely possible, i think the rest are all impossible though
Thanks, Forge Constructs!
Comment for algorithm :)
Also I liked the video so I of course pressed the button specifically for that
You can use a flame emitter instead of saving and loading in the cold area
You can do Spirit temple wile not beated all 4 other temples
7:04 you aren't *technically* required to get a heart container to leave. Timber was able to completely skip GSI, and beat the gannon fight with only 3 hearts. though Rubies do appear to be needed for the army fight.

Nah I wanted to stick to the rules as closely as possible but as you may see later the foods taking up space didn't matter in the end
I haven't managed to finish the game yet without restrictions 😅
no chance of beating the gerudo or zora temples rip in pepperoni
I'd say the final attack is an exception.
this run is impossible tho right? like you need to do the final blow to gannon with the master sword, which is like you know… 😭😭
Shhhhh
Love it 👌
Isn't it possible to stand on fans? If so, you could recall platform that fan to get up in the first undoable shrine.
Oh shit I never thought of that (I can't be bothered going back to the game but you are probably right)
@@KillerKiwi1642 I totally get not wanting to find it again. It’d probably be frustrating to get right anyways.
18:58 he was only out for like 3 months
there are wells that have water in there depths so that would be an option unless water is offlimits for a challange
Yeah water existed in botw so link can't get wet here
Nah I needed to jump down that specific chasm in Central hyrule as its the main one connected to the big central mine
surely you could have just used a spring shield to negate fall damage..?
Interesting, I had no idea that was a thing that you could do
This is so creative😭
Kiwi video!
the autobuild trick with the falling debris was actually brilliant.
two thumbs way way up!
TOTK: I nap.
*Its a kiwi video* For real?
Seriously though, this is an interesting concept! Looking forward to how you tackle this.
Couldn't you use a flame emitter to fight the cold?
OK I don't have a defence for that one lol
Actually you already failed in the intro because you're wearing hylian trousers and the champion's tunic.
That is why I decided to sneakily word it so that I myself cannot put on botw armour
@@KillerKiwi1642 ah I missed that part.
Actually, he was wearing the champions leathers, not the champions tunic.
Yoooo new Kiwi vid
is the para pad technically just the sheikah slate?
They are different enough I'd say to allow myself to get away with it - the purah pad is zelda's new version that she leaves for link, not actually sure what happens to the original sheikah slate though
Woah those are some long fingers but neat! A face reveal!
Hurrah
If this sounds fun enough I’ll give it a go, nvm I just realised I wouldn’t be able to use any bows
As much as I enjoyed doing this (at times) I will encourage you to please not attempt this if you value your sanity
What does the hair band count as?
New item since it wasn't an item in botw (I would have also allowed myself to get the yiga set since it wasn't available as an item in breath of the wild)
Aren't ancient blades in Botw?
Nah Ancient arrows are, so all is well
@@KillerKiwi1642 I knew there was a bunch of ancient gear, but couldn't remember them.
commenting for the algorithm lol top kek insert comment here p.s i love you

nice vid
Thanks :)
33:25 Wait which shrine was that?
It's driving me nuts, I did all the shrines and I don't recognize that vertical shaft
When I get to my pc I shall have a little look at the footage and let you know
It is called Morok Shrine and it is in Sahasra Slope
Once again, I can happily watch you play a game I don't like and have no interest in, because you make a damn good video on it, looking forward to the future parts!
Never ever finished my own playthrough of this game, so I'm excited to actually see the latter 2/3rds of the game haha
are the logs new if they come from sky trees? I suppose
