So I've been thinking of a new category for runs that would apparently go under the extensions. The idea would be to defeat the Lynel on the Plateau in Master Mode, minimalist(ish) style. No runes, no armor, just weapons and materials. I've had a lot of fun going over this many times, and thought of doing this when the mode came out, but never really had an interest in speedrunning back then.
It doesn't require loads of glitches to make work and is just a fun way to showboat how fast you can take down the second strongest non-boss enemy in the game from the get-go.
My current best is a barely sub 40 run I did on stream but I didn't have any speedrunning tools as this is the thing that's kinda now getting me into speedrunning. I also haven't used any glitches or any real "techniques" that runners use for running so it can very likely be either cut by 5-10 minutes or more depending on what glitches can be used to speed it up.
What do you guys think? The only issue I can see this category having is that it requires the DLC to run the category.
Edit: I see there is a "new categories" thread that was made already but the last reply was 8 months ago. Generally, rules for forums are that they don't like necroposting and I didn't see anything stated on that offhand, so I thought I'd play it safe. Sorry!
Edit 2: I found that the game has extension categories and figured it might be worth putting in there as it does have a DLC requirement and may warrant "extension" status.
