We feel like we keep seeing more and more impressive feats achieved within The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild every week, but is this actually the most impressive one yet? Read on...
Towards the end of last month, Breath of the Wild "expert" joedun became the first player to ever complete the game 100% without taking any damage. Just take a moment to let that sink in - he took zero damage - to complete a full run in Nintendo's latest Zelda game.
In saying this, he did get some assistance from a number of Breath of the Wild glitches - allowing him to bypass a lot of dangers (moon jumping) and speed up the overall process.
Speaking to Polygon, the Twitch streamer said it took months of failed attempts before getting this result - highlighting the fact that the most difficult part was "never giving up".
“You see, I failed that run 100+ times, with 3 of those times being 30+ hours in. To keep pushing myself to not give up and not let the game beat me was definitely the hardest.”
The record for this run is set at 31 hours, 58 minutes and 9 seconds. The streamer now wants to try and complete the game without taking any damage or using any glitches at all.
You can see the full recap over on Twitch. How far into Breath of the Wild do you think you could get before taking damage? Leave a comment down below.

Sheesh, I don't think I have enough endurance for that.
Absolute mad lad. Well done, son.
I don't even have time to start a second playthrough.
We all have different talents in life.
Well done! A fantastic achievement.
”I eat mayonnaise between my toes”
Well, I guess that shows the intelligence level of his audience.
It only took him 3,5 years!
Reminds me: I still have 250 korok seeds waiting for me somewhere.
@SirKif I wouldn’t expect E=mc2 at any live stream to be honest
@Friendly : I have more than 700 out there waiting for me.
I'd be happy if I find enough to max out my inventory, though I think you still need about 450 for that. Zoinks!
That’s cool, but I managed to unlock resident services in Animal Crossing without taking ANY damage, thanks to pure FOCUS and GAMING.
Shortly after I was stung to bejeesus by a bunch of bees and then taken out by tarantula, but the point it that happened AFTERWARDS. It was a CLEAN RUN up until Isabelle’s arrival.
Congrats My Guy truly a amazing feat.
"Never again"
"The streamer now wants to try and complete the game without taking any damage or using any glitches at all."
Well...that didn't take long.
Get yourself a man who is dedicated to you like this
Almost thought this would be an article about Happy Hobb, he beat the entire Dark Souls series, including Demon's Souls and Bloodborne back to back without taking a single hit, and he did it in one 10 hour stream.
Glad to see others doing insane challenges!
NINJA APPROVED
I’m not buying it. If he took damage during the Calamity Ganon fight for example, would he reset and do it all again?
I take he means he is the first person on the internet to say they have done. Actually I did this three times, in a row, while bouncing a basket ball on my head, I just didn't tell the internet about it.
Just nailed it
Now that's just downright silly. Aren't there better challenges that don't involve having to reset and waste dozens of hours at a time?
@SirKif Not quite. They spelled mayonnaise wrong too.
Not even like I can say that what I've been doing the past four years is that much more important. ^^
Thats amazing. Although, getting to that level of play would kill the game for me.
Does save scumming really prove anything?
As much as I admire and respect the achievement of the person who set the record, I think that there are more important and rewarding things to do in one's life that chasing 100% without getting hurt...
I reckon even the game’s creators are more embarrassed for him than grateful.
I would get immensely bored of the game and probably started hating it before finally getting that non-official "achievement." Is it really worth it, just to get your name (or nick) into some gaming news for this amount of work?
I died like 100 times in the first 3 hours of the game so seeing someone do this is truly amazing I've never been so impressed
