I have thought up a challenge for harcore Zelda fans who will be playing Skyward Sword soon.

- No shields (you can just un-equip them.)
- No healing potions or guardian potions
- 6 hearts the whole game (or see below)
- No quiver, slingshot, or bomb bag upgrades
- No upgrades to make items better (You can upgrade them if you have to to progress.)
- No visiting Skyloft except for story elements
- You can't save during dungeons, you must save only before you go into the dungeon and you have to complete it in one go.
- You have to use your weaker hand!
- Attempt all the above (and below) whilst playing the second quest!
- No Fatal Blow
- No sprinting
- No Z-targeting
- You should play it standing up!
- No spin attack
- No cheapshotting with Skyward Strikes
- THREE HEARTS, for God's sake, but you have to manually reduce 'em to three
- PLAY WITHOUT REST – You cannot recover your health!
- Only for the hardcore: If you die, reset your file and start over!

I'll be adding your guys' ideas to the list...

Play with your eyes closed.

Haha, no, not really. XD Some ideas...

Unless required, you should follow these guidelines:

-No Fatal Blow
-No sprinting
-No Z-targeting

It's actually really hard to go through a 3D Zelda game "professionally" without Z-targeting anything. D:

you should play it standing up, doing exactly what you want link to do, including shouting, instead of sitting on the couch, weakly swinging it infront of you

Really like the no-sprinting idea, I'm sure it'd be so tempting at times so it'd be a pretty tough one!

What difficulty would no sprinting add other than making the field really annoying to cross?

You could play on your head whilst drinking some milk, no Z targeting and playing with the opposite hand than you would normally play. Now that's hardcore.

you need to sprint in order to advance in SS...it's the only way you can climb higher ledges and steep hills

in the words of Barny Stinsen from "How I met your mother". CHALLANGE ACCEPTED!

also, use the least visible HUD to see controls. or most visible to limit visibility
