    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.

    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!

      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 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.
