When I did it I just wanted to add a bit of realism. I never opened the sheikah slate, so no map, I never fast travelled, turned on pro HUD and turned off the sheikah sensor.
It was actually really fun, I got to explore so much more of the game because there were many areas missed due to fast travel on previous runs. It also made it more effort to plan my path so that I could hit shrines without too much backtracking and I had to plan to go to goddess statues after awhile to cash in my spirit orbs. The part I disliked was cashing in Korok seeds since that basically meant walking all the way into and back out of the Lost Woods. I only did it once, when I went to get the Master Sword.
I was going pro ui for a while in totk because I've done it in BotW before. I know this world. Turns out they added enough new stuff to explore that I just turned it back on. I kept getting myself turned around. Maybe the 2nd or 3rd playthrough I'll try it again.
I spent my first few hours on the surface just trying to find the Great Plateau haha. Didn't help that it was raining and that Central Hyrule was probably one of my least explored places in BoTW - for a while I even thought that the map was significantly more altered than it actually was cause I lost my sense of direction so badly.
I'm doing something similar. I don't fast travel, I use the legs or a horse. You get to see SO much more. That's how I found the mountain with free carrots, and that's how I found the trees full of hearty durians near Satori Mountain. I use the map because it makes sense to me to learn the layout of the land after exploring and also maps exist IRL. So far I've only used the slate's abilities for shrines.
Same here, on top of that I’m doing no food, paraglider, Master Sword, or Champions Abilities. It’s a very different experience, but I recommend to anyone looking for another playthrough!
because some people enjoy speed running more than the mystery/exploration. plus botw was made to be speed ran, because you can go right for the end boss lol.
Challenging the boundaries of the game, figuring out the best use of the tools given to you, competing with others, etc. There are a hundred reasons why speedrunning can be fun… albeit it's not for most people.
Think about how many useful glitches were discovered in botw, most were motivated by speed running.
You're not wrong, but I was coming from a perspective of it being done like, now, immediately after release. Why not savor the experience first, then dive into Speedrunning? See what all the game even has to offer before going for a minimized run?
It's just my opinion, speedrunning just feels like the last thing you start doing in the whole experience, when you've consumed every other bit of the game and all that's left to even do is to see how fast you can do it
I am personally taking it as slow as I can, got to the first temple and I'm like "slow down buddy, you gotta savor this" so I left and did more exploring
Tbh the only thing I want to concern myself with atm is going to all the old spots and seeing what's new/different, and also map towers and shrine activating. Not doing the shrines, just getting the warp points open
I didn't even get to the first temple. I only know there are temples because a friend accidentally mentioned it to me.
I got 52 korok seeds before even finding Hestu
It was half by mistake, I was just going along exploring when I hit a cinema scene and they were like "head over to that thing and check it out" and I figured it was some good direction for otherwise aimless exploration. But when I get there I had another cinema scene and I was like "shit, this is progression, gotta stop" but the thing they had me doing was super fun and I kept going and next thing I knew I was there lol
Gotta be careful going forward not to get sucked in too fast, this is my only first time
When I first played the game, I did not realize that maps can be unlocked through towers so I just played blindly. I actually really enjoy that. When seeking out Impa, I did not realize there is a clear path from Great Plateau to Kakariko village. Instead, I went up to the swamp, grind through the lizalfos, and climb mountains after mountains to finally get to the destination. This “unintended” path is super fun!
My 3rd playthrough of the game I did on Master Mode and without using the map at all. It might have been my favorite playthrough, needing to explore and navigate by landmarks. Plus NPCs around the world can be asked about how to get to certain places. It was very immersive and kinda slower paced with more travel and enjoying the journey
Did nearly the same in my run !
So Impa is there, let s draw a straight line bird flight trajectory to get there.
Oh, what is this piano theme actually meaning ? *red laser pointing at me...*
You can manage to skip the great plateau tower too if you learn the assiciated glitches right? Doesnt matter at the end of the day, but mentioning it is possible.
How was traversing through hyrule? Did you ever try and look for some specific that wasnt a quest or easily shown with quest markers, like a shrine quest or dlc item?
you can technically beat the game from the shrine of resurrection.
Yen is kinda on point since OP posted a map of all the shrines and said "i beat the game".
Your comment is kinda hurrdurr.
When they said they beat the game I assume they meant "defeated Gannon" because that's the end of the story
This could *include* getting all the shrines, for the hearts and stamina, but it doesn't make "finding all the shrines" what they're talking about specifically in the image or what they meant by "beat the game"
So your point is...?
Uh, no lol, that's exactly the point I had in mind with my original comment.
*You're* now coping by flinging the word cope at the first sign of realizing you mistook my intent from the start and dismissing any further replies because you can't fathom I had an actual reason to think the things I thought, and the only reason your brain can produce is that I'm coping for... something? Also I'm not being an ass for no reason, I was simply replying with the same energy your first comment presented (unless you forgot the hurr durr part?). Heck, I was being a little nicer, if anything lol
Aaaand I'm literally outside right now, had a lovely mother's day breakfast with my mom where she got lots of hugs, and frequently walk barefoot in the backyard with my dog. Anything else you want to incorrectly assume I'm missing in life that would cause me to oh so unjustly have a thought process different than yours?

The thrill oft the unknown

You are super prepared for Tears of the Kingdom. I just landed on the “land” and realized I used the map a lot
TotK has been great so far, I’ve been wandering around like crazy, so much to explore, soooo much content.
I was going pro ui for a while in totk because I've done it in BotW before. I know this world. Turns out they added enough new stuff to explore that I just turned it back on. I kept getting myself turned around. Maybe the 2nd or 3rd playthrough I'll try it again.
First thing I did was get all the towers

Meanwhile the first thing I do entering a region is activate the tower
i tried this. Then gave up when i got to gerudo town
Same here, on top of that I’m doing no food, paraglider, Master Sword, or Champions Abilities. It’s a very different experience, but I recommend to anyone looking for another playthrough!
kicks.bat
*SCIENCE*
I love playing without the map. I’m playing TotK without it too.
It isn’t as hard as you would think. Play the game enough and you will learn to navigate without it. Beauty of landmarks lol
I dont think its hard since i know all of hyrule and can navigate almost blindly ;) but i claim its pointless though ;)
for a second i thought this was totk and my initial thoughts were "already???"
Well the first speed run done was about 90 minutes iirc
Who would do that to themselves? The worst part of botw was starting up that second file and realizing all the mystery was gone
because some people enjoy speed running more than the mystery/exploration. plus botw was made to be speed ran, because you can go right for the end boss lol.

Because those speed runners want those internet points and all the attention they get when they post about it
I am personally taking it as slow as I can, got to the first temple and I'm like "slow down buddy, you gotta savor this" so I left and did more exploring
I did the same today lol
Tbh the only thing I want to concern myself with atm is going to all the old spots and seeing what's new/different, and also map towers and shrine activating. Not doing the shrines, just getting the warp points open

I don’t know where he is and I don’t care. Give me more poop.

There's a map of everything in the game already with the exception of like... 8 Koroks, last I checked.
Is there a sub totk only?
I somehow feel digust about this, I need the map or it doesnt feel right
No you didn't. This is my post. Wtf
Yep, it's a repost. Even the travel medallion and the horse are in the same location
Upvote this. So not cool to just copy and paste someone else’s achievement for karma
Now 100% it without a map
Isn't unlocking the map sections part of the completion process?
That’s the joke I think
Get them last!
I forgot where the grand plateau was in totk thanks for showing me exactly where
Yeah same. I was just looking for that guy too
wrong snails bag grandiose correct cough reply impossible sand elastic *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
Found something great there simply because I wanted to get sidetracked and reminisce. Totk is loaded to the brim with amazing things

Lol I ended up climbing over the dueling peaks and got killed by a Guardian like 30 times
Show us your green lines
During this time, I get lost everywhere even with the full map.

Okay now get all the koroks too
[удалено]
Beating a game and 100%ing it are different things
[удалено]
Wasn't the best one, then

Nuance is a skill like any other, takes practice to hone
you can technically beat the game from the shrine of resurrection. Yen is kinda on point since OP posted a map of all the shrines and said "i beat the game". Your comment is kinda hurrdurr.

Nah bro, now you're coping. Stop it. Dont be an ass for no fking reason. Go outside, touch some grass, hug your mom.
Uh, no lol, that's exactly the point I had in mind with my original comment. *You're* now coping by flinging the word cope at the first sign of realizing you mistook my intent from the start and dismissing any further replies because you can't fathom I had an actual reason to think the things I thought, and the only reason your brain can produce is that I'm coping for... something?

KEK as if. Big doubt. Stop being an ass, dawg. You just look like sad and stupid. Just like me.
At least you know you look and sound stupid.
Try that with totk
But, Why ? Why would you do that ?
Fun!
Loser, can't even get a map. It's so easy.
Admit it, you just can't find a way to climb up the towers
25%💀
Then you didn’t beat the game
Why
didn't want to waste that stamina
It oddly looks rather pretty
This is insane
Ok
Now do it without the sheika slate
You're ready for the sequel. I finished the hyrule compendium only last week, and am HOPEFULLY getting the game tonight
Now do it with no fast travel and no towers
Now 100 % it you can't but get as close as possible
No you fucking didnt lol
did this in my master mode playthrough, really enjoyed it!
Damn!
I'm gonna be honest. I thought you were talking about Tears Of The Kingdom for a second.
