I have been having fun with challenges lately. The first one I came up with was:

• clear the first blue lagoon with 3 hearts and use nothing except The sword. (This one is tougher than I thought it would be.)

• clear the recorder room with 4 bombs and nothing else. No sword, cancle, arrows...etc nothing but bombs and you only get 4.

• clear each level without getting hit. Each level is separate from one another.

Can anyone add anything to these? The more challenging the better. Something that can be done in a reasonable amount of time.

On a separate note, what is the toughest run you guys can come up with? The run that would take the most skill? Extreme comes to mind but it's more tedious than difficult. Here is what i came up with. (My chat helped me out with this)

One hit knock out. Low% semi swordless. You get wood sword but you can only use the sword to fight the gleeoks and ganon. No block clipping.

Damageless swordless low%.

Is swordless low% harder than straight low%?

You get the wand in swordless. Cuts a lot of hits out of fights, and no gannon.

that's a great point Pres I forgot you'd HAVE to get the wand in swordless low% I guess it WOULD be easier haha

and you wouldn't get silvers either.

Damageless low% would be insane

Damageless low% where sword can only be used on gleeok and ganon. I can't think of anything else to add to make it worse except no glitches, but the glitches are fun in this game.

The glitches take skill and they do not break the game. I'd hate to do a run without screen scrolling, but I guess it would make it more difficult.

Ok, I got it. Damageless low% where the only weapons you are allowed to use is the blue candle, and wooden sword. The wooden sword is only allowed to be used on enemies that can't be killed by the blue candle or if you get stuck in a room and can't use another flame from the candle. No glitches no up+a (softlock and lose) no hands (you must use your feet or teeth or anything but your hands.) Blindfolded. (So no eyes) You must be sleep deprived. (Stay up for at least 48 hours before attempting the run). No breathing (you have to hold your breath until run is complete). The last rule is you must wear a shock collar and have it set up so that if someone in chat types !shock, you take a shock.

This category is called "you have to be $#@&#$* kidding %" I bet lack and eunos complete it sub hour on their first try.

lol about halfway through I was thinking, "dude is he serious" and then the LULZ

you had me man damageless low% is probably the hardest "sane" run I would try, but even that sounds like too much to be fun.

Haha, I'm not so sure damageless low% is sane.

I really do want to have some challenges (not whole runs). The challenges would have different levels of difficulty. It would be kind of like achievements for the Xbox. They are just there for fun and bragging rights I suppose. Some examples:

Difficult - beat ganon 3 times in a row using only the wooden sword, silver arrow and bow. Only allowed to have 3 hearts.

Difficult: From the beginning of the game, visit every screen possible on the overworld without getting hit. No screen scrolls allowed.

Very difficult - clear both lagoons with only the wood sword and 3 heart. No bombs, potions or anything else allowed. No door strats or pause strats allowed.

Insanely difficult - play 4 different copies of the game at the same time with one controller. All 4 games must be within 2 rooms of eachother while inside dungeons at all times. Clear in 2.5 hours or less. (This is a whole run... four whole runs I know but it's a shoutout to cantaloupeme who actually did this).

Stuff like that. Is there anything like that or would anyone be interested in coming up with challenges with me?
