This movie has been obsoleted!Click here to see the movie that obsoleted it. Of all the challenging ways to play Legend of Zelda that people have attempted on an
NES console, one of the most famous is the "swordless" challenge. In this challenge,
the player must beat all of the game, up until the final boss Ganon, without
using a sword. It is not possible to damage Ganon without a sword, however, so many
swordless runs reach Ganon's room and either die there or crash the game.
In order to actually complete the game, jprofit22 does pick up a sword and kills
Ganon. However, the sword is only obtained before attempting the final level, and
even then, the sword is not used until absolutely necessary. In the meantime, sit
back and watch a run which relies heavily on luck manipulation and effective bomb
usage to beat the game very quickly. For more details, see the run's comments.
