A new Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild speedrun challenge tasks players to mount eve🐼ry animal in the game as quickly as possible.

As first reported by , the new challenge specifically takes aim at every rideable animal in the huge open world game. Players need to race to mount every animal or creature in The 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild as quickly as possible, but this includes two key points of note: Prince Sidon, a🎶nd the Lord of the Mꦉountain.

The former, you might remember, is the famed Zora Prince (who the internet has the hots for), who you do actually get to ride as part of Breath of the Wild's main storyline. As for the Lord of the 𒁏Mountain, it's far more complicated, because the ethereal creature only spawns in very specific circumstances, making the entire speedrun a whole lot harder to predict.

As the speedrun's organizer explains, they had to delve into Breath of the Wild's code to figure out exactly when and where the Lord of the Mountain could s꧒pawn. They've managed to narrow it down to once on the day of a waxing cღrescent moon, but even then, it can show up at any point over those 24 hours.

Right now, the speedrun's creator is actually putting together a competition to see who can score the best time on the 'mount every creature' speedrun. The person with the lowest time afte💃r May 6 will earn $100, while second place will net $50, and finally third place will score $20. It's a brilliantly original speedrun idea, which excellently factors in some of the mor꧟e unpredictable aspects of Breath of the Wild.
