A proposed Breath of the Wild Category Extension Speedrun
- Runs must start from New Game.
- Timing starts when gaining control of Link.
- You must talk to all 192 Women in Hyrule with a unique name (Yiga "Travelers" disguised as women count only once). Check the list for clarification on who is included as a goal.
- Talking to an NPC is defined as:
- Their unique name appears as the speaker on any dialog box, as the label in the top-left.
- They have spoken voice acting in cutscenes and are speaking directly to Link in the present, either in his mind or face-to-face. Dialog spoken in a memory or flashback cutscene is not counted.
- Interacting with the "Goddess" (Hylia) via a Goddess Statue.
- Timing ends when gaining control of Link after the dialog closes (you must close the final dialog)
Check BOTW Category Extensions for general game rules, amiibo rules, etc.
The current version of the complete route can be viewed on Celer Routing Tool:
There are no limitations on the amount of "Glitches" or "Bugs" used in this route. Feel free to fork if you are making a Glitchless, Bug Limit or Major Glitches Restricted variation.
Any route clarifications or changes you wish to make can be submitted as a Pull Request or by reaching out to me @cobwoms on Discord. I'll try to test your changes, if they make the run easier, more clear, and/or save time over the current techniques they will be merged.
