I mean I have Carter’s Quest but this takes the cake
MC_Gamer, also known as MC, has been working on a 100%Zeldachallenge for roughly a year now, and just this past weekend they finally accomplished their goal.
A 100%Zeldachallenge is just as crazy as it sounds — finishing every game with a full 100% completion rating, which means discovering every secret and snagging every item. For huge games likeBreath of the Wildit’s a feat. They even went the full mile and shared a spreadsheet of the whole endeavor, which includes a list of games, clear times, and what “100%” really means. There are a few provisosa couple of quid pro quos, MC noted that they didn’t include games that weren’t canon, which excludesFour SwordsGBA, the Tingle-verse, andHyrule Warriors. That’s more than reasonable.
Breaking down the dataBreath of the Wildclearly dominated the challenge with 131 hours and 41 minutes required to snag that coveted 100% rating. Next up isTri Force Heroestrailing way behind at 44 hours, thenSkyward Swordin Hero Mode at 35 hours. The originalZelda, as streamlined as that classic is, took the least amount of time at five hours and 27 minutes, followed by the contentious sequelZelda IIat six hours, six minutes.
If anyone is considering a challenge of their own they now have hard data to work with. As much as I loveBreath of the WildI never felt compelled to 100% it so I doubt I’ll ever add this to my bucket list. Congrats MC!
I beat every Zelda game to 100% completion on Twitch. It took 484 hours. Ask Me Anything![Reddit]
