It has been almost 4 years since The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild<\/em><\/strong> was released and in all that time, there was no record held for a 100% completion with zero damage run. Until now, that is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speedrunner and streamer joedun<\/strong><\/a> became the first person to do it, and he went through hell and back to do it. In an email interview with Polygon, joedun explained that he spent months in his attempts to hit that perfect record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe most challenging aspect was definitely 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.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rules of this speedrun meant that he wasn’t able to just reload from his last save point from prior to when he took damage, instead, he needed to completely restart the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those wondering, reloading after i take damage WASNT ALLOWED, thats cheating. This was pure FOCUS and GAMING<\/p>— joedun (@joedunff) January 23, 2021<\/a><\/blockquote>
