Hi all!

Today I am back with a new round of The Breath of the Wild Readathon created by Caz from Little Book Owl and Red from Little Red Reader. You can check out all my previous rounds here.

If you’re a huge Zelda fan like me, you are going to love this series of readathons based on the award-winning game: The Breath of the Wild. Follow the botwathon page for more details and announcements. As you can see by the title, we are now embarking on the third, month-long, main quest to take down the Divine Beast: Vah Medoh. This readathon is running from June 1st – June 30th. Without further ado, let’s get into it!

THE RULES 

Like the last main quest, you need to pick a team from those listed below. Each team grants a unique perk you may use only once during the round, to aid your readathon. Your options are:

Team Mipha: One book on your TBR can be used to complete two challenges.

Team Daruk: One partially completed book can count towards a challenge.

Team Revali: Instead of drawing a Blood Moon Card, read any book of your choice.

Team Urbosa: You can swap out one challenge from your path with one from another team (any prompt except Vah Medoh).

I’m once again going with Team Mipha because the perk and challenges suit my TBR best. Once you’ve picked yours, refer to the map below to source your reading prompts. Unless you’re on Team Revali, you’ll have to pick up a Blood Moon Card with a random prompt to complete. There are also three optional challenges you can take. Warriors are to complete the challenges in order of their team’s path, starting at Death Mountain and ending at the Divine Beast: Vah Medoh. If you obtained the glider in the mini-round, you can complete the reading challenges in any order you wish. If you didn’t, you need to complete the challenges in path order.

THE CHALLENGES – TEAM MIPHA 

1.) Death Mountain – Read a book with orange or red on the cover.

I’m going to choose my bookclub pick for the month – The House of Last Resort by Christopher Golden – because it has both red and orange on the cover.

2.) Korok Forest – Read a book with a one-word title.

For this prompt, I’m going with Sheets by Brenna Thummler. It’s a cute graphic novel I’ve been wanting to read for some time now.

3.) Blood Moon Card – Use a random number generator between 1 and 10 to select your prompt.

For this prompt, I’m going to read The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea by Isabella Duke (my sister-in-law). I reviewed the first book in her series here.

 

4.) South Tabantha Snowfield – Read a book with snow/ice on the cover.

I’m going to go with The Mist by Stephen King because it has frost on the cover.

5.) Divine Beast: Vah Medoh – ‘AIR’ buzzword – read a book with air (or any related word) in the title. 

I’m going to enact my Team Mipha perk and use one book to complete two challenges. The Mist by Stephen King relates to the buzzword ‘air.’

BONUS CHALLENGES

1.) Hebra North Summit – Read the highest rated book on your TBR. 

I’m going to pass on this one.

2.) North Lomei Labyrinth – Read a book in an entirely new reading spot/s. 

I’m going to pass on this one.

3.) Rito Village – Participate in at least one ‘Fang & Bone’ challenge. 

‘Fang & Bone’ challenges are community prompts that will be announced without warning. They will be creative or fun things you can reply to, share in the Discord or post on your social channels. Follow the BotWathon on X or join the Discord to be alerted when a challenge drops.

If you need to refer to the FAQ’s – you can check those out here.

Let me know if you’re participating. Thanks for reading!

Peace & Love xoxo
