The Royal Guard may have failed to protect against the calamity 100 years ago, but given the time and skill, can we done their tools to get the job done once and for all? And yes, we will be wiping out the entire castle in revenge - I hope you all enjoy this themed run of Breath of the Wild!! :D

All the footage was taken from my Twitch playthrough of this the other week, so feel free to check out my page there for more fun playthroughs and runs!! www.twitch.tv/crotonzelda

There is no official item map for the run as Hyrule Castle is a fully 3d space, but the locations of each of the 2 royal guard weapons and the armor can be found within the first chapter of this video! The master mode exclusive ones are shown off much later on

    Ah yes. Royal Guard weapons. The gold tools of Breath of the Wild.
  • Something you may not know: The Molduking has a small chance of dropping chests that contain royal guard bows and shields. This makes it the only source of royal guard equipment that isn’t in or near to the castle. Obviously it isn’t useful for this run, as it wouldn’t be worth it to do half the Champion’s Ballad to have a small chance of getting more equipment, but it’s a cool fact!
  • bruh the idea of a royal guard who survived the calamity coming back to the castle and just decimating all the enemies who defeated his comrades on his own is so cool
  • The royal guard weapons look so cool with the Dark Link set. Paired with a black horse and royal saddle. That's an aesthetic right there.
  • @Piggy24
    I’m convinced that Croton includes all Divine Beasts as part of the rules of his challenge runs just as an excuse to pay respects to The Drillshaft.
  • @equinox-XVI
    2:03 This entire sequence is why Breath of the Wild is an 11/10 game
  • @Julie_webm
    Croton almost swearing at 8:31 is so funny to me, like he is always so upbeat it’s funny to even thing of him swearing lol
  • @peterholmes7440
    Can you try to do the Monster Equipment challenge? Basically: only weapon avaliable are Lizard, Moblin or Bokoblin weapons and the only armor is the Dark Link tunic.

    Meanwhile in a parallel universe, Link parries everything in Hyrule with perfect timing
  • @skins4thewin
    The whole having to kill all 70 enemies in the castle makes this extra spicy. I dig it!
  • @herothecrow994
    I greatly appreciate the editing in this, the amount of onbeat kills to Spear of Justice and just the quality of music in general is a big part of why this series is as entertaining as it is.
  • @thetoast9309
    It would be really cool to see you do a knights run they're pretty durable do good damage and a horse with the knights saddle and bridle does look cool
  • @tjeffersonb
    5:52 I audibly exclaimed “Yes!” When I heard Hive Knight’s theme come on As always, exquisite music taste from Croton
  • @clocktopus2643
    If you're out of ideas for what to do on your next themed run, maybe sort of a hero themed run where you can only use Link weapons and armour, such as the Champion's Tunic and the Hylian Trousers with the Master Sword, or maybe all the Link caps, tunics and trousers.
  • @Rickby
    You don’t know how much I can’t wait till your BOTW2 play though, the effort you put into these videos make them addicting, not to mention your aura is just so positive
  • @sparkysheep
    This was SUCH a good run!!! The castle is so bizarre without any enemies in it, just casually paragliding through without any lasers? Deeply weird. Also I LOVE that you used hollow knight music!!!! It worked so well for the castle
  • @nottasker
    Loving these style of videos, especially with a set as weird as the Royal Guard. Strong as hell, but breaks too quickly. Fun to see what strats you come up with.
