There are 23 Goron weapons on the map - and this is our 23rd Zelda challenge run....there is no such thing as a coincidence 🤭 ruclips.net/p/PLAjULYyNSE9b_sOPHRYmwip6WJCvKEbXO
I really think that these challenge runs work way better in BotW because of the weapons mostly. But I’m not saying I don’t like fuse, it is just that in BotW the weapons are just more pure I guess
That's why I love BotW runs too!! Still I've been loving Tears runs just as much, because they feel like a massive remix on what was established in BotW (Gerudo run was awesome in both games!)
@@Reaktron88Yeah I honestly don’t like fuse since it makes every weapon be super bad until you make it ugly with a dumb horn or something. It also makes the race specific gear feel pointless
@@CrotonAs you should. The Drillshaft’s obviously the most effective weapon. (I’m not kidding I spent so long using every single drillshaft I had it my inventory to kill one white lynel and I think I need mental help).
Windblight was like, “You fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders! The most famous of which is, 'never get involved in a land war in Asia,' but only slightly less well-known is this: 'Never bring a sharp rock stick to a gun fight!’” And then died like Vizzini.
FINALLY! The races of the wild prove they can muster their strength and take the calamity HEAD-ON. With that, all the beings on Hyrule have been showcase in a BotW challenge. Proud of you, Croton!
@@Croton Haha about an hour in I’m still asking why the crap is he making rock food and I laughed at how serious and hard it is to survive as a Goron. Tina
I'm glad to still see Breath of the Wild, because TotK is great but it doesn't diminish its predecessor at all. Even though as a _viewer_ it took some getting used to not having the new abilities (were you depending on Tulin at 16:57?) seeing Hyrule not covered in Zonai ruins, sky islands and horned monsters is like a "breath" of fresh air. Plus, I miss the more unique weapons BotW had, like our partner for this challenge, the Drillshaft. P.S. I think the Gut Check Challenge and Test of Will would have been good to include in this run. They're how Link proves he's an honorary Goron, after all.
Honestly my depth perception was just really off so that's why I failed that one But I totally agree about BotW, there's so many standout features that make me appreciate it sperate from Tears!! Especially the boss fights which are much more technical and replayable The Gut Check Challenge and Test of Will were originally gonna be in this run, but I was just so eager to start the finale that I just opted for the rock roast quest as that's my favorite of the bunch :)
For those of us who watched the run on Twitch over the course of 4 days, we can appreciate what an incredible job Sam did editing this video. I think this is the first challenge run when I truly wondered if he'd be able to complete it. This was truly a huge win!
Imagine a Tears of the Kingdom version of this where you're allowed to use weapons other than Goron weapons (and shield), but you MUST fuse rocks to every weapon (Talus hearts count)
"Come on Stalmoblin, concentrate! Use your head!" *Yeets friend's head at Link* "Aw right! Not bad, kid! Not exactly what I had in mind, but not bad..."
I gotta say I’m a new Zelda fan (got botw for Christmas, been obsessed even during exam season at uni lol), and I really like your videos! You just seem to have such a positive attitude towards everything, even when stuff goes wrong, which is really cool! Really like your runs so far! Ignoring all totk for now since I don’t want spoilers and want to keep playing botw a while longer, so seeing a new botw challenge was an awesome surprise!
I also stayed spoiler free until playing, totally worth it for the surprises and being able to discover everything for yourself! Recommend version 1.0.0. no real improvements to the updates and they patch most of the post game glitches when you just want to mess around.
Welcome to the community (for your next game after TOTK I recommend ocarina of time (I will tell you the games are very different before this one and it's sequel more puzzle oriented and linear rather than a massive open world but they are still amazing even as far back as the original games on nes (well i think the are on NES) if you have Nintendo's subscription service you can play all of the nes and and 64 ones one your switch and theres a remake and port of Link's awakening and skyward sword respectively (still no port of my favorite game twilight princess sadly))
So glad to hear you enjoy the runs I play!! They're a really fun way to remix and re-experience things I love about this world :) When you get around to it, I hope your Tears of the Kingdom playthrough goes well!!! It is also phenomenal in a totally different way
@@Dovah_Slayerthanks for the recommendations! I’ll have to look into the other Zelda games (majoras mask is picking my interest quite a bit). When I finally finish these games (which honestly will take me forever lol), I’ll go back and play the others maybe!
Croton, I have a really good idea. So everyone loves these “can you beat botw with ???” Series, and a type of these series is beating canon with hero/trailer armor. You know how in the trailer link always wear champions tunic, hylia trousers, and travelers shield, sword, and bow. You should do one with only those. And master sword is allowed as well since it’s in the trailer equipped by link for once😊
23:55 i think i know why it didn't break... Malice eyes aren't in some way considered enemies, despite having a healthbar, they are in fact the only enemy that doesn't show up in the compendium, so that might be why. that or they made weapons not shatter against them as a failsafe, since they are sometimes needed to kill to progress in certain sections.
@@lordquagsire5714Well, Rito also wouldn't use their theme armor, so what? It's a substitute for what a hylian lacks compared to the other race. Fire-proof suit is an obvious choice, it even has a round helmet and a bulky build, just like a goron.
@@skyellama8374 what's important to understand is that the run would not get less interesting, it would just help to avoid one-shots. Meaning less repetition, more action.
I'm a little confuse why he didn't use the flamebreaker armor. It's because the real gorons are nude and don't use clothes? Awesome video, croton. You finally did a run for every race in the game. Congratulations!
That's it!!! Flamebreaker armor isn't very goron-like to me, plus this made it more of a challenge! But thank you!! we did almost every race in the game - I still have another planned!
@user-fr7gl4ke2o Perhaps Yiga? While I know you can't get the Yiga Armour in BOTW, there's a lot more Yiga Weapons to use than TOTK, so perhaps that's it?
I thought when you mentioned challenge run in your stream, you were going to do rito only, or zora only, in totk, but when I saw the title + thumbnail, I was in shock. Nice to see you return to BOTW.
Hi croton! I love your videos and have been watching since 50k subs. Your attitude is hilarious, and your videos are incredible. Keep up the amazing content. I love your channel. Edit: I’ve also been really hoping for one last breath of the wild challenge run and here it is. It’s a really good video.
This was such an entertaining video. I genuinely thought you gave up when you died, and the video was nearly over. Mad respect for pulling though. I would not have had the patience for it
My one complaint is that Gorons actually don't like eating gemstones. Until they learned other races valued them they deemed them all worthless because the taste isn't good
this was really fun to watch, great video idea and this is the second thing i've seen from you! I love how you smile like almost every seconds of this video, sometimes its hard to not smile myself then. Keep it up, ima go watch some other video of you now! ^^ Have a great day to everyone thats reading this!
Damn, that final fight was insane, and insanely stressful! Amazing work in not giving up and achieving what no other Goron would ever dream of trying! That's was rock solid, goro!
FINALLY!!! i figured out the whole no bows or shields thing after the gerudo run, which made me think that you wouldn't do this because you like defeating all of the divine beasts. im _so_ glad that you didnt make that a criteria lol
I leave this channel to go play TOTK spoiler free, and I missed my most awaited challenge run?! Aw man…still, so glad this day finally came, even if I’m two months late to it!
Glad to see croton back to his old roots doing a botw run i was looking foward to seeing you do this one since in my opinion gorons are the best race for there funny build and how clueless they are luv ut videos keep up the good work ❤
Do you have plans to do a hero only run (stuff that link uses in the lore ,hylian pants, champions tunic, master sword, pot lid ect) if not that would be a cool idea to do
I think it would be possible to do a Yiga only Botw run. You could dye the sheika armor red and use the duplex bow, windcleaver and other weapons used by the yiga :D
The idea of fusing ruby to a weapon and getting fire powers, using keese eyeballs to make homing arrows, seeing the fork-like horn on a black boko, and fusing weapons to each other is imprinted into my mind from totk. I can never look at botw the same.
Croton just an idea now you have all races challenge runs for BOTW can you do a challenge run where for each region/divine beast you can only grab that specific race’s weapon and then for Hyrule castle grab royal weapons
Im so happy croton is making botw vids even though totk already came out. Bcuz to be real, i dont have totk yet bcuz i havent saved up. And to not get the story of totk spoiled, ive never watched like, more than 5 vids abt totk. But finnaly i could watch a new zelda vid without feeling left out
4:49 fun fact, gorons don't actually eat gemstones. They eat normal rocks and flint, but not gemstones. Apparently they don't taste nearly as good as other types of rock
Don't worry, I never forgot about you Goron run :) Thank you all so much for watching and supporting this series!!

Good to see that croton has returned to BOTW for this.
Look
TotK made me yearn for the Drillshaft....I needed to see my love again
so true though@@Croton
@@CrotonAs you should. The Drillshaft’s obviously the most effective weapon. (I’m not kidding I spent so long using every single drillshaft I had it my inventory to kill one white lynel and I think I need mental help).

I always wondered why he never made the Goron only run but here it is
The reason was that there was no bow or Goron like armor set to use. The flame breaker is pretty much just a flame proof suit

It finally came. Thank you Croton, you are a true madlad to get through this challenge in the best way possible, cheers!
YESSSS I’ve ALWAYS wanted you to do a Goron only video!!! I thought after TOTK came out you’d be done with botw challenges for a while
Well 8 months have passed already time flies!!
@@Crotonoh jeez it has been a while!!! I actually had no idea it’s been out that long already
I thought when you mentioned challenge run in your stream, you were going to do rito only, or zora only, in totk, but when I saw the title + thumbnail, I was in shock. Nice to see you return to BOTW.
Yeeees! You are back to BotW with an amazing challenge! Thank you for finally doing the Goron version ❤
Thank you so much for finally doing the run. Croton you are my favorite botw and totk RUclipsr by far.
Thank you croton, I’ve been waiting for this since this series started, love u! ❤
Ty so much croton for this run I really wanted this run to happen and this made me really happy so thank you

Wow. The determination and frankly raw skill are are strong with this goro. Loved this video!
This was such an entertaining video. I genuinely thought you gave up when you died, and the video was nearly over. Mad respect for pulling though. I would not have had the patience for it
“Your bomb arrows kind of suck.”
*Gets blown up.*
Yep, that’s karma.
46:56 One must imagine Croton happy
YOU DONT KNOW HOW MANY YEARS IVE WAITED FOR THIS ONE!!!!!!!
19:05 Yunobo becoming a SAM is awesome. 😂
Hey I honestly surprised and amazed most (if not all) youtubers do TOTK now but your still doing BOTW AWESOME!!!! Thanks
My one complaint is that Gorons actually don't like eating gemstones. Until they learned other races valued them they deemed them all worthless because the taste isn't good
but they come in different flavors like orange and banana and strawberry
21:47 Only time anyone’s ever said this
That’s not gloom that’s malice 37:21
this was really fun to watch, great video idea and this is the second thing i've seen from you! I love how you smile like almost every seconds of this video, sometimes its hard to not smile myself then. Keep it up, ima go watch some other video of you now! ^^ Have a great day to everyone thats reading this!
So all this time, every race in Hyrule could have beaten the Calamity if they got all their soldiers.
The music at 57 min is fire
I love the cinematic drillshaft ending
LETS GOOO Ive been wanting this forever!
IT'S HERE! i love these videos, as always ❤
It been so long sense I have watched this guy. HAPPY TO BE BACK!
Such a nice vid and one I've been waiting for.
For a future run idea, how about going Zonai only in TotK? I think it would be an interesting challenge
4:02 Correction: Gorons say that gems taste gross
Always a good day when Croton posts
Wow, this man made the challenge way harder than it needed to be. No mighty banana meals and no armor is just crazy
Finally the goron run! And also hoping there be a totk goron run!
Putting the divine beast on it's side to thread the eye of the needle was so clutch.
Awesome challenge run!! Probably Crotons hardest challenge yet! This was a w run and entertaining to watch
I WAS WAITING FOR THIS FOR FOREVER
Fun fact: Gorons hate gems because they taste horrible.
Zelda: hurry link! my power is weakening! if you take too long it might be too late!
6 years later and nothing of the sort has happened
Yeah no problem! Your challenge runs are so: cool, awesome, funny, and of course challenging. 🤣🤣
Keep it up man! 💯🔥😄👍
Damn, that final fight was insane, and insanely stressful! Amazing work in not giving up and achieving what no other Goron would ever dream of trying! That's was rock solid, goro!
Finally! Been waiting for this long time. If u have too then 👍
The reason it didn't auto save is because it can't load you on unstable flooring and because it can't load, it won't auto save.
