Gamer Defeats Breath of the Wild Using Only Shields
Posted on September 25 2019 by Kristen G. Rosario
It seems like everybody and anybody have beaten Breath of the Wild in their own unique way. Speedrunners, for instance, have been tearing this game asunder since its initial release, having found very many unique ways of getting the job done. The newest accomplishment comes to us from PointCrow, who has decided to take a stab at not stabbing anything.
No, instead this gamer decided to try his hand at beating Breath of the Wild using only shields; he used no weapons and no Bomb Runes either. This isn’t PointCrow’s first attempt at a challenge like this, as he has tried a couple of other methods as well. This shield-only attempt was in response to people saying he used bombs during his previous take at a no-weapon run. So using an assortment of glitch tricks, armor upgrades, stat boosters, and Magnesis Rune techniques, PointCrow was able to successfully manage this shield-only run.
What do you think of this challenge? Would you ever attempt something like this? Let us know in the comments below!
