Nearly 4 years after The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild released, fans are still finding unique ways to enjoy the game. Some players mod the title to create all-new experiences, while others like to tackle the self-imposed challenges. Case in point, the interesting set of rules speedrunner Joedun game himself.
Instead of using his hands to play through the game, Joedun decided to attempt Breath of the Wild's dungeons using his feet. That includes the Ganon battle as well, and believe it or not, Joedun pulled it off. The fun took roughly 8 hours, and you can see the full thing from start to finish below.

Speedrunners are known for being extremely patient, as some of the tricks and tactics they use require a crazy amount of skill and pinpoint accuracy. That can be taken a step further when you throw a 100% completion qualifier onto the speedrun. Then there's the true sadists that throw in a no-damage qualifier as well. That's exactly what Joedun was going for with The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and he's finally achieved his goal.
After hundreds of restarts, Joedun now holds the world record for a Zelda: Breath of the Wild 100% completion no-damage speedrun. It took him 31 hours, 58 minutes, and 9 seconds to achieve the record, and it was absolutely grueling the whole way through. Joedun had to beat the game, collect all container upgrades, finish the adventure log, find all 900 Korok seeds, obtain all the key items, beat every shrine, and fully upgrade every permanent weapon and armor. If you want to watch the madness for yourself, you can find the full run here.

Modders continue to tweak The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild in all sorts of interesting ways, and one of the latest pays tribute to a Zelda game that came before it.
Modder Waikuteru set his sights on The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, as he wanted to transport some of that classic experience to the open world of Breath of the Wild. The end result is bringing Skyward Sword's Skyloft into Breath of the Wild. As you can see in the video above, the results are downright impressive. Seeing this makes me miss both Skyward Sword and Breath of the Wild!

His combat glossary in progress explains a great deal about the vastness of advanced combat in Breath of the Wild.
There are 120 shrines in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and even more if you include the DLC. Certainly plenty to dig into and explore, but it turns out there's one Shrine none of us ever got to see.
Zelda: Breath of the Wild fan Waikuteru had gone digging around the game's files and noticed that there was one Shrine that didn't make the cut. The Shrine's data was in the game, but inaccessible through normal play. Thanks to the work of Waikuteru, we can now see what that Shrine holds.
Hi, Mii expert here. Turns out, the NPCs in TLoZ:BotW use an advanced version of the Mii format. This means that with modding, you can inject Miis into the game. :)

Thinking about opening commissions for Mii injects, both screenshot/images of your Mii and mod downloads! pic.twitter.com/8NfVr4zyqA
A Twitter user by the name of @HEYimHeroic has figured out how non-playable characters are generated in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. It has been discovered that the faces of these characters use a modified version of the coding used to create a Mii. This means that it is possible for modders to change the faces of these characters by loading in data from a Mii.
The final boss battle in Zelda: Breath of the Wild grants you the Bow of Light, which certainly adds to the epic encounter. Sadly though, you only get a little bit of time with the bow before the credits roll and it's game over. Wouldn't it be nice to hang onto that bow for your entire adventure? Well now you can, thanks to a new glitch.
While Breath of the Wild may have come out years ago, fans are still digging through the game to see how they can bend it to their will. New glitches are discovered all the time, which pave the way for exciting ways to play. This time around, a "memory storage" glitch is being used to grab the Bow of Light for use through your entire journey. Watch the video above for the step-by-step process on how to pull this off.
