Nintendo Minute Tries to Do the (Not-So) Impossible with the Breath of the Wild No Map Challenge
Posted on August 31 2019 by Kristen G. Rosario
The most reliable item I had throughout my journey through Breath of the Wild wasn’t my horse, it wasn’t my bow, and it certainly wasn’t my sword; it was my map. To be completely honest, if it wasn’t for that map, I would have been easily lost about 90% of the time. When it comes to sandbox-style games, I have always relied HEAVILY upon a map so I could find a whole bunch of different collectible items lying around. That’s why I kind of laugh at Nintendo Minute for trying to attempt this challenge for Breath of the Wild.
Kit and Krysta from the Nintendo Minute have decided to challenge each other to make it to a certain point of Hyrule in Breath of the Wild in a set amount of time without using the map whatsoever. Plus, they’re not allowed to use the HUD map either and are playing in the game’s Pro HUD Mode. Both Kit and Krysta’s results on their separate challenge varied. While Kit managed to get closest to the heart-shaped lake on Tuft Mountain, Krysta didn’t really get anywhere near the Akkala Sea.
