Quote:At this point, Link ran out of Cold Resistance food.  It will be unlikely for him to spend much time in Hebra or other frozen areas in the future.

Is there anything you'll be missing? And would it be feasible to resupply and get whatever you don't have from cold regions?

Link will probably miss out on some shrines, but this isn't a 100% completion playthrough anyway.


Ingredients for food respawn eventually, and Link could find them and make them into more meals and elixirs if I wanted to.  Link already cleared Vah Medoh, which was the main reason I wanted Cold Resistance in the first place.  Other areas like Hebra are more of a bonus.


The rest of the playthrough will build up to Death Mountain and Vah Rudania, if Link gathers enough anti-fire elixirs.  Smotherwing Butterflies for those can be bought from Beedle at the stables. 


Naked Link could probably fight Calamity Ganon at Hyrule Castle now and win. but I wanted this character to experience a reasonable amount of content.

Adventures of Nudist Link Part 13



It turned out that much of the desert around Gerudo Town was pointless for Link.  Sure, +1 Heat Resistance was enough for the triple digit temperatures, but Molduga worms burrowed around the sands and rose to strike Link twice.


DEATH COUNT:  24


Link climbed Gerudo Tower on the cliffs to the north with the help of Revali's Gale and stamina food, but much of the area was too cold for him.  Before leaving southwestern Hyrule entirely, he was determined not to let South Lomei Labyrinth's puzzle defeat him.  He perished when a Bokoblin with a club conked him on the head on the perimeter wall.


DEATH COUNT:  25


The labyrinth itself was simple once Link had the Wasteland Tower map.  He found the way down to the shrine itself by investigating the southeastern section.  Once he succeeded, Link traveled across the Faron jungles to the final tower.  Faron Tower was guarded by an Electric Wizzrobe and a swarm of bats, but Link's Guardian Sword was better magic than the wizard's lightning.


Shai Utoh was in a cave behind Lakeside Stable, and it was easily cleared by casting Stasis on the seesaws once they were in the proper positions.


Yah Rin was just outside the fishing town of Lurelin Village.  Link solved its puzzles by weighing down switches and scales with Magnesis objects.  Lurelin Village itself sold seafood that provided attack and defense ingredients for meals.


Link upgraded his Heart Containers in Kakariko Village and brewed 3 more Fireproof Elixirs from Beedle's Smotherwing Butterflies.  He was ready to save Vah Rudania or bust.

Adventures of Nudist Link Victory


Link rushed to Goron City and the Abandoned North Mine with about a minute to spare with his 7 minute elixir.  Then an unexpected problem arose.  Our hero was still taking heavy fire damage at the Abandoned North Mine, which meant that he had to have some "Level 2" resistance from arcane ingredients to proceed with the Vah Rudania questline.


Before abandoning the Death Mountain region for good, Link used some of his spare Fireproof Elixirs and hunted for shrines.  Shae Mo'sah was cleared with Fire Arrows, Daqa Koh had a jumping Stasis platform, and Qua Raym was another Magnesis scale balancing puzzle.


Link set out for Eventide Island in the Faron region to prove that he could beat a Shrine Quest without any gear.  But this challenge didn't remove his Sheikah Slate, which he used to destroy Hinox with Remote Bombs and Magnesis blocks.  One tablet needed to be removed with Stasis momentum, and Cryonis pillars took the final sphere to the goal in the water.


To prepare for the final battle at Hyrule Castle, Link purchased an Ancient Bladesaw, an Ancient Bow, and an Ancient Shield from Akkala Ancient Tech Lab.  All those seemingly useless shrine treasure chests and Test of Strength scrap would now save him.  On the way to Ganon's lair, he died 3 times to Guardian lasers and one poke from a Moblin spear in the Dining Hall.


FINAL DEATH COUNT:  28


Without saving most of the Divine Beasts, Link had to fight Waterblight, Fireblight, and Thunderblight Ganon in a boss rush before facing Calamity Ganon himself.  These opponents were simple to kill apart from Thunderblight Ganon, who had to be blocked with a shield and later hit with a Magnesis lightning rod.  Link took no chances with the Vah Nabooris boss and hacked away at the monster with the Master Sword.  The Ancient Bow also helped with the Blights, and sometimes the Great Flameblade too.


Before Calamity Ganon appeared, Link had consumed +3 Defense food, +3 Lightning Resistance food, and a couple of temporary Heart Container meals.  Revali zapped Calamity Ganon for 1/8 of his HP with the power of Vah Medoh.  Link's Master Sword held out for the entire battle, and two +3 Attack meals shortened the fight considerably.  Link took heavy damage from Calamity Ganon's attacks when they hit, particularly the quick laser shots when I learned the hard way that they couldn't be reflected.


The Ancient Shield paid off during the last phase of the battle, when Link reflected the charged lasers to break Calamity Ganon's shield without having to time a parry.  He had to rely on his fast metabolism to digest all the healing food, but he still won.


Dark Beast Ganon was a comedy of errors.  Since I had skipped the cutscene, Link rode around on GODIVA the horse for a while before I learned I actually had to pick up the Light Bow, and that it wasn't automatically given to Link in the cutscene.  Ganon's breath attack hit him a couple of times, but he held on.  Who needs armor when you've cleared 72 shrines and have a restaurant's supply of meals?  It took several tries to convince Ganon to open his head to reveal the final weak spot that Link had to shoot from midair.


Naked Link isn't that much different from a normal playthrough, apart from the lack of Divine Beasts.  Being able to carry 3 pages of food in your inventory is a significant asset to you, especially when eating is a free action.  Shrines function the same way in every playthrough, and all the areas where temperature would be a problem are optional.  It is funny to read all the dialogue when Link isn't wearing anything but his shorts, however!
