MY NEW TWITCH USERNAME IS JUST "SMALLANT" USE: twitch.tv/SmallAnt THE LINK AT THE END OF THE VIDEO WILL NOT WORK

If Link dies, he dies forever. You can only catch the first Link of any region.

You forgot one big thing: you must NAME the weapons, get a strong emotional connection to the weapons, then cry in a corner when you lose them.

Smant: "So let's get the stealth armor" Also smant: *Dyes it bright white making it very noticeable even from far away*

"his name starts with a k... he was a school dj..." me instantly: kk slider

There's a super consistant way to never miss the Lynel's face with an arrow. It doesn't work on spear lynels and you have to land the first shot legitimately, but after you mount the lynel and jump off, if you keep holding the button to lock-on while walking straight backwards and drawing your bow, for some reason the lynel will charge towards you once without attacking, everytime. Use this window to aim the easiest shot in your life. Rinse and repeat. You'll never use durability on your weapons, but the lower damage the weapon, the more arrows you'll need. I killed the lynel on the plateau using a soldier's bow and a spiked moblin club in a few worry-free minutes using this strat. Just remember: Never let go of the lock-on button. (This is the result of 3 hours of research and dying to the lynel on the plateau.)

If a game is ever too easy for you, tell Smallant, he knows how to make any game into a massive trial.

Tip for Yiga hideout for all those loud peeps who die: if you get caught, Blizzard Rod freezes EVERYTHING for a long time

20:49 Did this master of video editing just pitch shift the parries to the mario theme?

Alternative Breath of the Wild Nuzlocke: every time you die you have to buy a new copy

“I haven’t had any practice” he says after playing hundreds of hours of breath of the wild

Smallant: *invests entirely in stealth armor* Also smallant: "Ima fight the lynel"

Ant: *says 'milk'* Everyone in chat: *ruthlessly makes fun of how he pronounces 'milk'*

I started a "nuzlocke" of my own 2 days ago but with a few different rules. 1. Permadeath. Falling in lava and drowning also count as permadeath. Since those things would be a guaranteed death irl. 2. No bombs in the overworld since bomb camping makes the game way easier and weapon hoarding way too easy. 3. No food since its OP. I can only heal from completing shrines, and by resting at an inn. No fairies either. 4. No champion powers.

Everyone: When is botw 2? Ant: Watch me struggle until the sequel comes out.

Hey Ant, love your speedruns! I kind of have an interesting idea for a run. Complete the Great Plateau as you would normally. As soon as you get the para-glider, set a timer. Maybe an hour or so? That is your time to prepare. You can use that hour to get whatever you want to fight Ganon. After that time you must immediately head to Ganon, without picking up anymore items and fight him with what you collected. I'm curious what you would prioritize getting and how you would handle it.

4:54 that was a 100% intentional death. He was just showing that guy in the chat how the perma death works

Person in chat: So how does permadeath work? Ant: *dies*

20:58 reminds me of doing the middle trials and having to land 30+ successful parries in row with a badly damaged shield. And then finding out there's two more scouts on the same floor.

“You can’t kill what’s already dead” Stalkoblins: *sad monster noises*

The editing on the boulder part is hella good, same with the parries on the shrine guardian, it's the little things

Yo, Devine absolutely killed it on the editing. Still feels like a Smant video but has little touches that work really well. Fantastic job!

The pole at 12:20 can be climbed with 1 stamina wheel. You have to jump at the pole then link will do a extra wall jump and grab for free. If you then climb till you have a sliver of stamina left and jump he will make it to the top. I was bored last night literally spent 20min practicing it... lol

19:21 I sure do love M E L K

Dying the second chat asks how perma death works. I absolutely admire your dedication to explain stuff to your chat, to the point of wasting 20 minutes for demonstration purposes! Much love!

Just a heads up for mounting Lynels: You can easily headshot them every time you land a parry. Much easier than trying to hit them while moving.

4:55 love the guy in the chat asks "how does perma death work" and ant just dies xD

31:41 Never, even after more than 500 hours of BOTW, has it even once occurred to me to try and parry the spear throw. Holy shit. Learn something new every day ig

The formatting on those rules at the beginning is beautiful

of all the videos I've watched, this is definitely one of them...

32:10 stuff like this is why I love BOTW so much, you can do anything, even the dumbest thing you can think of

22:00 “right that’s probably enough to go fight mipha” Excuse me?

Remember kids: Don't forget to eat, or else you'll have to reset.

Ant: So this is a very difficult Breath of the Wild challenge, we need to strategize, be sneaky... Chat: FiGhT tHe LyNeL

13:59 SMALLANT TELL ME HOW THE HELL YOU CAN SPAM THAT BUTTON SO FAST

i feel the no repeat weapons rule would end this challenge really quickly.

"We've got the Nintendo Switch shirt... ...obviously we're gonna switch to this one" _laugh track_

22:50 "Special K" is how some people call Ketamine (a drug) would be funny if he named himself like this 😂

Smallant impresses me beyond words sometimes haha I’ve had botw for a few years now and haven’t completed it even once ! so it’s really awesome to see someone just make it so much harder and still succeed! the dedication is amazing

a game: is pretty chill smallant: *allow me to introduce myself*

Love the new editing style, it's different but really good. Good job Devine!

at 18:59 you can actually trigger the korok in the lily pad circles by creating a cryonis block in it, standing on it, and breaking it

Samallant1: you can’t kill what’s already dead, right? stal monsters: *are we jokes to you?*

"Just send me some garbage in a box" I didn't realize ant was sponsoring pointcrow merch

20:51 That Mario reference though😂

0:25 “Do you ever get collector’s anxiety in huge open world RPGS?”

I like this guy because he doesn’t just plays brand new games and gives a nice twist on older favorites

This is a really cool way of translating a nuzlocke to Zelda! Also Link is a Pokemon trainer with a team full of Honedge and you can't prove me wrong.

20:06 is the quality content I subbed for

6:43 Thank you Smallant1, for everything that you do

1:28 you can collect _used_ arrows shot from enemies or from your own bow. Pretty sure that’s what the question was about.

10:30 new editor is great ant 👍🏻 20:50

3 years of playing this game and I never knew you could parry Waterblight Ganon's Spear.

I love at how right as he dies at 4:50 someone says “how does permadeath work?”

Another challenge you could do: The Assassin Challenge You're only allowed to use Swordlike weapons (daggers,greatswords etc) and bows, but you can use as many as you want. No Shields (except for shieldsurfing). You MUST use the shiekah armor. You MUST play on Master Mode. No Combat Bombs. You can use your rules too, like permadeath and such. I did this challenge and it was pretty fun especially the atmosphere that comes with playing as a assassin shiekah! Would love to see you try this one ! :)

I remember you talking about someone new editing this, and they did a great job! :)

I can barely even tell that the video wasnt entirely edited by ant! The new editor is good

4:53 literally as he's dying, from stream delay, someone asks, "How does permadeath work?". He has just seen it work.

Fun fact: the more monsters (except zora lynel and else) you kill, the stronger some mobs will get as long as their weapons

I’ve played Breath of the Wild for so long I’ve memorised every type of lynels attack patterns some day fighting them has become addictive and I don’t disagree

"Oh man, it's already 2 am and I gotta wake up in like 7 hours. Barely gonna go enough sleep at this point." *Smallant uploads 30 minute challenge video* "...Make that 6 1/2 hours."

I'd create my own Nuzlocke Challenge around this format. - Master Mode Only - 3 Hearts Only - Allowed 3 of same weapons at any given time in your inventory, but are all single-use. - No Master Sword - Perma Death - Allowed to skip fighting some enemies. - No DLC Items that give boosted stats like Attack, Defence, Swim, Climb, or Guardian Resistence or Motorcycle. - Horse is Perma Death if killed.

Fighting a Lynel: I sleep Fighting Thunderblight Ganon: I sleep Stealthing the Yiga hideout: [R E A L S H I T]

The zoom after the stupid switch joke was SO good lmao

Is the editing of the perfect counters into the mario theme really going to get unnoticed? That's dope man it actually made me laugh so hard

13:00: "The shield of the mind's eye has a lot of stamina"

Huh I feel like at 25:17, it would have been better for Ant to shield parry the lynel, because that would stun him for enough time for Ant to launch an arrow into its face and then mount it.

I have a challenge! It’s not nearly as masochistic as this... it’s more focused on exploration rather than combat, no towers, (except plateau) no teleporting, no map, no talking to impa or upgrading runes (you could do this *until* all 4 Devine beasts) no master sword until all Devine beasts. You can make it harder if you want, but this challenge is mostly focused on noticing the world around you- looking for landmarks and letting yourself get lost. It’s surprisingly fun, and makes me pay more attention to the world around me. (And along the way enjoy some of botw fine environmental storytelling) ;) good luck!

Smallant: the rules are: *shows “1. Permadeath” KZfaq or internet: *starts the load Me: this is very serious

6:41 that pun though

4:42 I love how the rules change 3 times within 1 second

I actually took some of your rules to make my own version. I don't think it's harder but I very much enjoy the challenge.

I can’t even finish the Great Plateau on normal mode without dying twice and Smallant just does this.

as someone with collectors anxiety, not being able to pick up repeat weapons would be a struggle

idea for a new pokemon challenge: Side By Sde: the way it works is you basically take two corresponding pokemon games (Fire red leaf green, diamond pearl, etc) and play both of them at the same time. any input you do in one game must be inputted at the same time in the other rules: the teams cannot share any pokemon you cant input commands during things like battle effects where inputs dont do anything in order to win, both games must enter the elite four at the same time and both win in the same try. i.e if you lose to lance in leaf green but beat him in fire red you have to restart the elite four in both games

bruh I opened youtube and saw this, clicked on it without even realizing it's been up for like a minute

Good job to the editor, I really like what they did

10:43 / 10:41 when my siblings sneak up behind me and I get scared af

Should do a Master cycle% you could call it vroom% or emersion breaking% also a video showcasing other cool ways to abuse wrong teleport

The editing of these videos just keeps getting better, that Lynel fight was intense! Why stress over botw 2 when you just watch smallant1 singlehandedly make the game more entertaining? :D But for real tho, when's part 2 of this run coming out?

The editing has improved a lot

Ant's chat's ability to not read fucking anything and ask exceedingly stupid questions never ceases to baffle me

This is an awesome idea, so much so it inspired me to start my own run but I changed/added some rules Main Rules: 1. Death = Restart 2. Must be done in Master Mode 3. No Master Sword 4. Must do all 4 divine beasts 5. No save scumming to fix mistakes 6. Horses must be nicknamed and if they die you can’t revive them. Added rules/challenges 1. No Food/tonics in combat (its a nuzlocke so its basically the ‘no items in battle’ rule). Maybe this should be a main rule? 2. No inventory upgrades allowed (or limit the amount of upgrades allowed) 3. No DLC equipment/items allowed 4. Only 1 fairy allowed in inventory at any time 5. No Monster Masks 6. Only 60 (maybe 40 or even less then that) Shrines maximum can be unlocked to add more resource manage for your heart containers and stamina bar

“Maybe we’ll use milk to dye our clothes” Nah bro use *STAR FRAGMENTS*

Wow this game came out years ago and I'm still learning new things, I never knew you cold parry waterblight's lance back at him

SmallAnt: "You can't kill what's already dead! Stalkoblins: **malicious laughing**

Awesome choice with the editor and what I assume to be the direction you gave him/her. Very minimalistic and it's exactly what I expected (in a good way). Fit's the channel very well. Wonder if they got inspiration from ZFG's Dampe edits with the really quick cuts on the guardian/boulder.

I was playing BOTW at the same time and literally entered the "power of fire" shrine at the exact same time 20:21

6:44 me when I try to laugh at my dad’s horrible dad joke

26:00 You made flurry rushes look easy on lynels ITS HARD

Fun fact: If you press ZL while shooting a bow, it will automatically follow the enemy so it's really useful

When Smallant posts his video at midnight

Such a cool and unique challenge, never would have thought of it

>Nuzlocke >"no running from battles" Nearly every single Nuzlocker: "Uh...that's not part of the rules. Way to make it harder on yourself."

the lyonel on the great plateau is actually the strongest one in the game topping any other gold lyonel due to it having bomb arrows and the strongest weapons and being the most powerful form of lyonel

I was expecting a regular dead-drop challenge based on the title. But good lord, this looks like a hell of a challenge.

If someone commented this already, I’m sorry “I wasn’t using my pot lid” You just surfed on it.

8:08 “Oh, a damn shrine.”

Korok Leafs are actually really OP. One of my most used weapons lol, it's fun to blow enemies away, down a steep hill, or off a cliff! They all end up in the same corner to collect loot too.

10:41 *DIJINDNDNO JESUS.* whYyyy
