After recently completing a run of Breath of the Wild making use of only bombs and shields, PointCrow went one better over the weekend and finished the game, Calamity Ganon and all, using only shields.
It took around 27 hours in total for him to scrape around the map and get it done, including a final battle that took three hours. Not to mention the couple of months spent before the run spent exploring and working out how to beat certain challenges and overcome certain parts of the game without weapons.
