Summary
This video explores an extreme challenge run of The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD, demonstrating how much of the game can be collected without ever using the sword, ultimately revealing only two items are truly unobtainable.
Key Points
- The challenge involves collecting as many items as possible in Wind Waker HD without using the sword, initially even avoiding obtaining it entirely.
- The challenge is divided into two phases: first, avoiding the sword entirely, which leaves 33 items uncollectible; second, obtaining the sword but never using it, which significantly reduces the uncollectible count.
- Early game progression without the sword requires creative solutions like using environmental objects (pots, rocks) or exploiting enemy friendly fire to defeat foes and solve puzzles.
- Key items like bombs and the grappling hook are obtained early through sequence breaks, enabling further skips and alternative combat strategies throughout the dungeons.
- Speedrunner Mr. Alberto utilizes numerous complex glitches and skips, such as "super swimming" and "item sliding," to bypass sword-dependent sections and access areas out of sequence.
- Major dungeons like Dragon Roost Cavern, Forbidden Woods, and Tower of the Gods are completed using bombs, the grappling hook, boomerang, and light arrows, often with unique boss-killing strategies like using spring water to one-shot a boss.
- The most difficult tricks include a double frame-perfect item slide and leaf float to open a chest on Ice Ring Isle without freezing, and complex out-of-bounds clips to bypass dungeon sections and boss fights.
- In the second phase, obtaining the Master Sword (without using it) and light arrows allows access to more areas and enables the collection of previously unobtainable items like the Skull Hammer, Mirror Shield, and Hookshot.
- Ultimately, only two items remain unobtainable even with the sword in inventory but unused: the Hurricane Spin upgrade and a specific heart piece from Orca's training, both requiring direct sword usage.
- The final boss, Ganon, is also unbeatable without the Master Sword, as Zelda takes the light arrows, leaving no other damage option.
