12 Best Zelda: BOTW Replay Ideas and Challenge Runs
The article suggests challenge-run rules to make repeat playthroughs of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild feel fresh, using self-imposed restrictions to change exploration, combat and resource management.
– Keep tutorial-level health and stamina by never spending Spirit Orbs on upgrades.
– Protect a horse or Wolf Link at all times, reloading if either dies.
– Reset every three in-game days, losing gear except arrows and armour.
– Avoid all NPC commerce and survive solely through scavenging, hunting and cooking.
– Eat only animal products, foregoing fruit, vegetables and grains.
- Replay challenges add restrictions to refresh Breath of the Wild.
- Low health makes combat and stealth far more consequential.
- Resource limits encourage different exploration and cooking habits.
