The Struggle is Real in this Breath of the Wild Thanksgiving Challenge
Posted on November 23 2019 by Alexis S. Anderson
With American Thanksgiving coming up next week, Kit Ellis and Krysta Yang of Nintendo’s YouTube series Nintendo Minute decided to see who could cook the best three-course meal in Breath of the Wild in the shortest amount of time. For this “Feast or Fail Challenge,” Ellis and Yang had to make dishes using only what was already in their inventory and whatever they could scavenge in an area of the other’s choosing. Rain and resource scarcity caused some hilarious complications along the way, so check it out.
Ellis had a rough time from the start with a persistent thunderstorm rendering his firepit useless. But his attempts to recover made for great entertainment, so many thanks to Yang for condemning him to cook at the base of Lanayru Tower. For her part, Yang put together a three-course meal that I would be glad to gobble up at a Thanksgiving dinner. Although, I was hoping the dessert would be a cake or pie given all that talk of butter and sugar.
If you enjoyed the video, you’ll find plenty more Nintendo Minute content here. They even have an assortment of other video game-inspired challenges you can watch, too.
