NOTE: This thread is ONLY for request submissions with the below criteria, this is NOT an "idea" thread to discuss what categories other runners should run. Any non-request submission will be deleted.

Hi, welcome to the Breath of the Wild Category Extensions Leaderboard! Here we will house all the fun categories you can come up with.
When requesting a category, please provide the following:
- A reasonable ruleset for the category
- A video of your run for the category
Please keep in mind that the category should be meaningful and should not be stupidly arbitrary (ie, 3 Korok Seeds, 1 Tower, 2 Divine Beasts RTA).
Example request:
All Dog Treasures Rules: Get all treasures revealed to you by dogs. This does not require the completion of Tarrey Town, but it will require some of it done for the dogs to appear.
Have fun everyone!
Here is a new category that I propose :
Category : Hyrule Bike Challenge
Everything is explained in this gdoc: https://goo.gl/NZ5N5M
I have already made a very basic basic time in this VoD:
Added Hyrule Bike Challenge as an IL as it doesn't start fresh from New Game.
The category I came up with: Fall in Icewater and Die timing starts on file creation ends on loosing control link
I'd like to request that Level 4 Climbing Gear RTA be added as a subcategory to Max Tunic, and then the entire category be renamed "Level 4 Armor Sets RTA" Rules for Climbing Set's start and stop time are the same as the Max Champion's Tunic.
Here's the run.
I would like to request "Defeat Stone Talus" Rules: Timing starts when you create a new game and timing stops when Talus explodes.
I’d like to request an All Lynels run. There can be sub categories for Ancient arrows as well. Rules: Kill all 22 Overworld lynels from a brand new file. TotS lynels do not count. Timing starts when “New game” is selected and ends when the 22nd lynel’s health reaches zero. Run can be found here:
I'd like to request a new die% category is called death by a bomb%
Rules: time start on a new file and ends when link lose his health by a bomb (that includes both types of bombs NOT bomb arrows or an explosive barrel)
FitnessGram Pacer Test This will have separate categories for Bug Limit and No Limit Rules: Go to the Temple Of Time (The Gym) Pray to the goddess (Ask the gym teacher to play FitnessGram pacer audio) Line up at the start (The Side of the Temple)
Made a request for a Master Mode Plateau Lynel speedrun over here: https://www.speedrun.com/botw/thread/quvje/1#iy1qq
Didn't realize the game had extension categories so here I am. I figure it's a category that requires a bit of skill, practice, and doesn't tale too long. Honestly, if the KYS category is in it as well as some other ones that take forever, then time isn't an issue and the only real thing is just having the DLC.
Officially, here's the rules: Defeat the Silver Lynel on the Plateau without amiibo. That's it. Simple, straightforward. If there's any kind of instant kill/quick kill that I don't know of, that's not allowed obviously.
Will upload an edit with a video of me running this later on (when I can get Vegas to work, lol). Just recently found this before going to bed for work.
Because I need SOMETHING for now until I download the VOD and edit it, here's a link to the VOD where I streamed the run.
I start the stream(after some technical stuff on the side) trying to do a run and spend the rest of the stream either running, screwing around a bit, or planning better routes.
Also: I hate how nasally I sound. Blech.
Sorry for the late reply. Looks like not many people look up this forum.
Maze% could be insteresting. However anyone could just fly to the end of the maze or cheese it in many other ways
Pacer%.... this sounds more like a fun challenge more than a run
For the Plateau Lynel kill. Im not sure what to think of it. We already a "All Lynel" category and so adding a category just for 1 specific lynel seems a bit useless to me.
topaz% - get the topaz from the chest in the yiga clan hideout
time starts when you gain control of link, time ends when the topaz popup appears idea from https://twitch.tv/pointcrow
There is a few Topaz chests in the Yiga hideout. However i could see something like maybe Koga RTA being a thing maybe
I thought I'd throw it up there because it was a skill-based, barebones kill. Killing the Lynel with merely the resources on only the Plateau from the start of the game takes a bit of work imo, but maybe that's just me. Even still, I'll still consider it my own personal category even if only for my streams.
[IGNORE THIS MESSAGE IT GOT ADDED :D]
(Reposting from other request thread) Rake in Lake% Objective: Throw/Drop either a Farming Hoe or a Farmer’s pitchfork in any body of water with the word “Lake” in its name Timing starts on gaining control of Link Timing ends the frame the “Rake” hits the water
My run (bad) Somebody else's run (Xeryph on the discord server) He did a better one
[Reposting from other thread] Softlock% - Timing begins on gaining control of link / ends on the frame the softlock is initiated People have already run it (will post videos later) @Puppet: 7:33 @Xeryph: 7:22 Me (@Komali): 7:02 @brownsquirrel: 6:55
