Tips for other Zelda games should you do this challenge in them: In a link to the past, the lanmolas can be killed with the ice rod, the armos knights can be killed with the bow, the bug net can reflect Agahnims magic, and mothula can be killed by a bee. In the wind waker, phantom ganon's projectiles can be reflected with a bottle. In twilight princess, possessed zelda's projectiles can be reflected with a bottle. In a link between worlds, the bug net can damage enemies and reflect yuga ganon's magic.
Yea I was pretty sure this was going to die at the last fight as it’s hard coded to require the master sword. A crazy challenge that is loss thought is zelda 1 with the sword though it’s well know to be possible
Yes ! Thank you Nico ! If we don't get more videos with Deku sticks (there's still Majora's Mask) there are plenty of Eelda games to try beating without these evil/shameful/shiny yet deadly swords !
you beat 99% of it without using the sword,so it's only 99% possible until the game forces you to do it with the finale battle,and that's ok in my book,I think you did great,I hope you do with with other games
Me starting the video: No, you have to use the master sword to deliver the final blow to Ganon. Me ending the video: Okay I didn't know about the Bongo Bongo thing, that was interesting, but I feel like a bit of a nerd for knowing the Ganon thing ahead of time haha
Doing this on the Nintendo, 64 version would’ve been easier as Deku sticks do twice the amount of damage as the kokiri sword. This was reduced in the 3DS remake.
It is actually possible to use the hammer to damage Bongo Bongo. You need to take out the hammer, then guard, and attack with the hammer, all without L-targeting. If done correctly, Link should be crouching and attacking very quickly, thrusting the hammer forward. This method works on Dead Hand, too!
5:56 No, you missed some. You got the ocorina of TIME and learned the song if TIME to open the door of TIME inside the temple of TIME to access the pedestal of TIME to TIME travel.
The deku stick being usable while broken happens when you hit something twice with it in the air before hitting the ground (e.g. jumpslashing the lizalfos). Also deku sticks do more damage than the sword, its 2x stronger
I did this challenge several years ago and even made a gamefaqs thread about it. Surprised someone so famous did it too. I 100% the game and used early kokiri escape to skip getting the kokori sword until the very end of the game. (Getting fairy ocarina moves Mido from blocking the deku tree). Only requirement for kokiri sword is child fishing.
Funfact: You can also not finish Twilight Princess without using the Master Sword, you cannot reflect the Electric Balls of Zelda being Ganon's Puppet, you need to use the Master Sword to reflect them, and while you actually can hurt Dark Beast Ganon with Wolf Link, you cannot use the Ordon Sword in his last phases as well, because he won't take any damage with the Ordon Sword equipped
I paused at the time 14:50 where I looked like the weapon broke and by pausing it a right time I saw what broke was not a stick but a blade, so I think you summoned an invisible Giant’s Knife not an invisible Deku Stick
I looked it up and the deku stick and the megaton hammer do the same amount of damage. So next time I need to hammer in a nail, I guess I'll just use a stick instead
If you go to the graveyard as Young Link at night and pull the grave in the first row that has flowers in front of it, you can actually get a free Hylian Shield if you don't already have one. Otherwise, it's just 5 rupees. :3
You don't even need bombs for the Flare Dancer in the fire temple. If you're quick, you can hookshot him out of the flames while he's spinning at the beginning of his attack. :3
This was a really cool challenge, Ocarina of Time 3D is one of my favourite Zelda games I’ve played alongside Majoras Mask 3D, Skyward Sword and Breath of the Wild
Oh awesome dude! I love that nostalgic game, I remember playing that when I was a little kid, and then playing it more recently, but still a few years ago. Awesome, you made some shorts on OOT and like, if anyone suggested this I will give them a shoutout, also you Nico, you rock. And like, heh, this is gonna be awesome. 🚫⚔
What if Bowser Jr. Was in OoT? Junior: *carries the master sword and uses it against enemies* Link: Hyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!😫😫😫😫😫😫 Nico: Oh my gosh, JUNIOR! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!?!?!?
Sorry, man. I knew going into this vid that ganon can’t be defeated without using the master sword. I literally just beat oot 3ds, I think on the day this vid came out, too, and I was using the biggoron sword. I also got to the point where ganon wasn’t taking any damage from it, and I realized I needed the master sword to finish him off. But the fact that you got to the very end without using a sword is incredible
Damn, tough break, mate. How about you try out A Link to the Past while only using the sword to damage enemies? The rules are obvious - You can only deal damage with the sword. Everything else is allowed as long as you don't damage any enemies with it.
Crazy challenge I always thought it would be without a rupee for a Zelda challenge But it does confuse me why he bought the Hylian Shield when you can get a free one in the Graveyard by pulling graves
@@bluetoad07 True that, especially since my dad never realized you could use the Biggoron's Sword during the Ganon fight after the Master Sword got knocked away until I told him about it
Im surprised you didnt turn this into a speedrun tech showcase Nico. You can beat Ganon as kid link with the deku stick and a special bit of tech that makes deku sticks unbreakable and do massive amounts of damage
Could you use the Giant's Knife from Medigoron? It's a knife not a sword. It still does damage after breaking. Apparently if you keep fixing the Giant's Knife it gets stronger each time going from four to up to eight strikes before breaking. (Three strikes against walls)
You could actually defeat Dark Link with the hammer really easily if you hit him WITHOUT Z-targeting. Don't ask me why it works, it's just a thing lol.
Bombchus I think could have gotten you through the forest temple, and been useful from tye soonest you can get them. Please do Majora's Mask like this.
It sucks that you can't hit Bongo Bongo with the Megatton Hammer in Ocarina 3DS. Why did Nintendo did that!? It makes no sense!!! Hypotesis: It's possible to beat Ocarina of Time without the Master Sword? Conclussion: No. It's mandatory to use the Master Sword to defeat Ganondorf in his Ganon form.

The Bottle works against Posessed Zelda's Energy Balls but the Ordon Sword doesn't? 😅
@@Chris-gx1eiWhy would you want to use the Ordon Sword rather than the Master Sword?
Now we just need a Zelda rap on this channel
lol
Yoooo
lol good too see you here!
Hi tetra
Nah that's the job Attackingtucans
I laughed so hard when he said that ruto is a pretty useful weapon
It’s been a while since Nico made a Zelda video. Feels good
I know right
Totally
Same, and speaking of whici hopefully BTG uploads some Mario again
Ikr
Im so sick of mario content
I love this game!!!!!!! It is so great! I never thought I would see nico make another Zelda video
Yea I was pretty sure this was going to die at the last fight as it’s hard coded to require the master sword. A crazy challenge that is loss thought is zelda 1 with the sword though it’s well know to be possible
Same I knew it would end there
Calling Ruto "just a brat" is a serious understatement lmao
Swooooooord time! Oops, wrong vid…
I love this game!!!!!!! It is so great! I never thought I would see nico make another Zelda video
Yes ! Thank you Nico ! If we don't get more videos with Deku sticks (there's still Majora's Mask) there are plenty of Eelda games to try beating without these evil/shameful/shiny yet deadly swords !
Nice run dude! I tried beating RayMan legends without touching a lum (the equivalent of coins), it did not go well at all
Rayman Legends is a really fun game to challenge, I’ve played it many times
you beat 99% of it without using the sword,so it's only 99% possible until the game forces you to do it with the finale battle,and that's ok in my book,I think you did great,I hope you do with with other games
Tbh I actually thought that the Forest, fire, and water temples needed to be completed in that order until I watched this video
I did the Water temple first because I knew it was terrible so I just got it out of the way
@@kyeturner9803 the Water Temple is my favorite temple in the game because of the Dark Link make and the Morpha 🧀 strat
I think we all knew you'd have to use the sword to deal the final blow to Ganon. I consider this challenge a success!
Me starting the video: No, you have to use the master sword to deliver the final blow to Ganon.
Me ending the video: Okay I didn't know about the Bongo Bongo thing, that was interesting, but I feel like a bit of a nerd for knowing the Ganon thing ahead of time haha
Nico, the invisible deku stick wasn’t a deku stick! If you pause at the right time you can see the tip of the giants knife breaking
I've never heard someone being so fond of deku sticks
Doing this on the Nintendo, 64 version would’ve been easier as Deku sticks do twice the amount of damage as the kokiri sword. This was reduced in the 3DS remake.
It is actually possible to use the hammer to damage Bongo Bongo. You need to take out the hammer, then guard, and attack with the hammer, all without L-targeting. If done correctly, Link should be crouching and attacking very quickly, thrusting the hammer forward. This method works on Dead Hand, too!
Awesome challenge! great way of dealing with the game
Where do you get those emojis?
Update you can beat Dead Hand with hammer bomgo bomgo with crouch stab with the Hammer
Having to use Deku sticks as a child is actually nice because they do trice as much damage as the sword
I literally do side quests right before dodongo's cavern as well
5:56
No, you missed some.
You got the ocorina of TIME and learned the song if TIME to open the door of TIME inside the temple of TIME to access the pedestal of TIME to TIME travel.
The deku stick being usable while broken happens when you hit something twice with it in the air before hitting the ground (e.g. jumpslashing the lizalfos). Also deku sticks do more damage than the sword, its 2x stronger
The Deku Stick is as strong as the Master Sword
you would think the Deku Stick would do more damage to Gohma..... why? cuz something that made me shiver when I realized it..... eye splinters
Series idea: Zelda without rupees
I did this challenge several years ago and even made a gamefaqs thread about it. Surprised someone so famous did it too.

5:08 welcome to watch mojo today we are counting down the top 10 uses of foreshadowing
Would love to see more Zelda videos!!
Realised that he's throwing a child at walls
I paused at the time 14:50 where I looked like the weapon broke and by pausing it a right time I saw what broke was not a stick but a blade, so I think you summoned an invisible Giant’s Knife not an invisible Deku Stick
15:00 you can use the longshot instead
Did you try doing the deku stick thing to do final blow? What do speedrunners do in this fight?
9:42 Lol I get it, wait was that pun intended? Yeah probably. 🔗
Yesss! More zelda content PLEASE!
I looked it up and the deku stick and the megaton hammer do the same amount of damage. So next time I need to hammer in a nail, I guess I'll just use a stick instead
10:38 You can use the hammer its just a little weird
"20 year old spoiler alert i guess" Lmao
Whyd this make me laugh so hard
"Smashed that White Wolf"
Nico- 2022
Ocarina of Bomb.
I would love to see this in master quest
If you go to the graveyard as Young Link at night and pull the grave in the first row that has flowers in front of it, you can actually get a free Hylian Shield if you don't already have one. Otherwise, it's just 5 rupees. :3
Its nice seeing Nico make challenge videos for games that aren't mario
Idea: Beating bowsers fury or super mario 3d world without the cat bell.
Boy Zelda 2: Adventure of Link will be very hard without a sword.
Technically speaking, it is possible to beat OoT without using the swords because you weren't the one using it, so technically, it shouldn't count.
I love this game, with that green guy with the sword... zelda, right?
You don't even need bombs for the Flare Dancer in the fire temple. If you're quick, you can hookshot him out of the flames while he's spinning at the beginning of his attack. :3
Yes! More Oot challenges pls its one of my favorite games!
What do you use to record your 3DS? Unless you're using an emulator.
This is your 500th video! I can’t believe this channel has come so far!
This was a really cool challenge, Ocarina of Time 3D is one of my favourite Zelda games I’ve played alongside Majoras Mask 3D, Skyward Sword and Breath of the Wild
New video idea: Luigi is NOT A HERO!
Oh awesome dude! I love that nostalgic game, I remember playing that when I was a little kid, and then playing it more recently, but still a few years ago. Awesome, you made some shorts on OOT and like, if anyone suggested this I will give them a shoutout, also you Nico, you rock. And like, heh, this is gonna be awesome. 🚫⚔
Neat. Good to see a Zelda video again!
idc if the sword was needed, just doing this was impressive, always wanted to try something like this as a kidd
Try this without pressing left
If you use Deku nuts on the first boss you can do a lot more damage to the boss
Looking at your footage, part of the reason the megaton Hammer wasn't doing as much damage is you weren't doing jump attacks.
yes! its the 500 video of nicobbq!
fun fact: this is nicobbq's 500th video
What if Bowser Jr. Was in OoT?
Junior: *carries the master sword and uses it against enemies*
Link: Hyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!😫😫😫😫😫😫
Nico: Oh my gosh, JUNIOR! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!?!?!?
Omg finally someone that says “ocarina” properly.
You are literally the best
majoras mask but without taking any damage and with no sword
Sorry, man. I knew going into this vid that ganon can’t be defeated without using the master sword. I literally just beat oot 3ds, I think on the day this vid came out, too, and I was using the biggoron sword. I also got to the point where ganon wasn’t taking any damage from it, and I realized I needed the master sword to finish him off.

Can you beat Ocarina of Time using only princess Ruto?
Great vid! Love to see zelda content, You're really good at it :)
Damn, tough break, mate.
How about you try out A Link to the Past while only using the sword to damage enemies?
The rules are obvious - You can only deal damage with the sword. Everything else is allowed as long as you don't damage any enemies with it.
Crazy challenge
I always thought it would be without a rupee for a Zelda challenge
But it does confuse me why he bought the Hylian Shield when you can get a free one in the Graveyard by pulling graves
It's not that widely known that you can do that. I've played oot my whole life and only learned about that grotto a few months ago.
@@bluetoad07 Really? I never known that, it's just been with me my whole life so I thought it was common knowledge
@@rhythmwarriorgaming1755 well we all played the game differently I guess.
@@bluetoad07 True that, especially since my dad never realized you could use the Biggoron's Sword during the Ganon fight after the Master Sword got knocked away until I told him about it
Easy way to beat the challenge: Get the og version and glitch in the first five minutes to the credits
If you don’t care about cheating, sure. That’s not really beating the game though since you’re skipping the majority of it.
Hillian shield? Lol
Im surprised you didnt turn this into a speedrun tech showcase Nico. You can beat Ganon as kid link with the deku stick and a special bit of tech that makes deku sticks unbreakable and do massive amounts of damage
That’s not really “beating” the game though… contravenes the spirit of the challenge if you ask me.
@@jacoblauria8180 it was part of the speedrun before they discovered how to just skip to the credits
Who else was confused when he beat the fire temple first lol
Could you use the Giant's Knife from Medigoron? It's a knife not a sword. It still does damage after breaking. Apparently if you keep fixing the Giant's Knife it gets stronger each time going from four to up to eight strikes before breaking. (Three strikes against walls)
The final fight requires you to use the master sword so it doesn't matter
real talk, this game looks really good
I love that you did a zelda game, its nice to have something different 😁, keep up the good work
"Lets put the Masrer Sword back"... Wait isn't that using it?! :-P
Awesome video
You could actually defeat Dark Link with the hammer really easily if you hit him WITHOUT Z-targeting. Don't ask me why it works, it's just a thing lol.
I bet you can't beat SpongeBob HeroPants without touching a single coin!
Bombchus I think could have gotten you through the forest temple, and been useful from tye soonest you can get them. Please do Majora's Mask like this.
Also known as every Linkus7 randomiser ever
Who knew that a bottle would be the best item ever?
Do a 2D Zelda next! Like Minish Cap or Oracle of Seasons/Time!
It sucks that you can't hit Bongo Bongo with the Megatton Hammer in Ocarina 3DS. Why did Nintendo did that!? It makes no sense!!!
Hypotesis: It's possible to beat Ocarina of Time without the Master Sword?
Conclussion: No. It's mandatory to use the Master Sword to defeat Ganondorf in his Ganon form.
more zelda please Nico !
This looks dope
Looks like you rushed through the game! It took me like 10 hours just to reach the forest temple!
Love this!
Pls make more zelda vids like these
For volvagia you can use the bow for volvagia when he's in the air
You should do this for twilight princess
Nice vid. How about Mega Man 2 without using your arm cannon, except on bosses. No special weapons, either.
You do know you can just Longshot to the sign hanging above the broken bridge to get to gerudo valley right? Getting Epona is optional.
So shiek basically was being beaten up by either dongo dongo or Deadhead/hand/and.
Don’t they use the deku stick in the speed run
The Tunic inventory sprites look like work uniforms. Also, is it possible to use the Deku Stick glitch right before the final fight?
After you become an adult Hammertime
Hot take: Ocarina of Time 3d is better then Ocarina of time for the n64
Agrees
Agreed
