Awesome puzzle! Unfortunately, one thing that you had to do later was really pushing it for me, and I haven't eaten all day, so I had to quit.
EDIT: Also, why did many people say you needed the Longshot? If I had continued my route I would have skipped it entirely.

Its a great puzzle, it had me stumped for a while. I was given some hints and decided to do RBA to learn the Nocturne of Shadow, but for some damn reason, Link WOULD NOT steal the freakin' rod. I tried that divey thing and mash B, but he NEVER. THREW. THE ROD. So, I gave up... depressing, I know. Shortly after I quit I thought to myself, "Dammit, why'd I quit? I told myself at the beginning that I was only going to quit if I was the last one who hasn't finished and still had no idea how to do this..." But yeah, I hope next time I can actually pull of the glitch required...=/
Anyways, is there going to be a leaderboard? I only stuck around long enough for Cosmo to win and the seamwalk to be banned xD

Yeah, I used RBA to get the Song of Time and all that other good stuff, but I forgot to play it in the Temple of Time before RBAing the medallions, and I forgot that RBAing the Forest Medallion wasn't enough to make Sheik leave the pedestal so I had to go through a lot more.
Personally, I think the goal would've been better without the frame perfect Death Wrong Warp; aside from that (and the seamwalk), I thought it was flawless and clever. Good one, sockfolder!

Question: HOW THE HELL DOES DOUBLE DEFENSE TAKE 6 HOURS?! You don't even need adult, all you need is bombs to megaflip to it. That doesn't use ISG or keys. Someone plz explain.

1. You're thinking of double magic.
2. Bombs/chus are banned.
3. There actually was a faster way to do this with a seam walk, but it wasn't part of the puzzle. If it's banned, this puzzle would take 3 hours minimum.
Wow, I just made a massive fool of myself. Epic Fail on my part.
I've been getting a lot of negative vibes lately from people and I hope all hurt feelings can be forgiven
Puzzle was really good

It's not negative vibes toward the puzzle, it's negative vibes toward ourselves (atleast in my case). I'm pretty dissappoinnted in myself for quitting :( I think part of it was that I don't understand RBA in the alighteat, so even if I was successful in stealing the rod, I probably still wouldn't. Have ever finished it :S
I really loved this puzzle! So awesome! Thanks for great puzzle sockfolder! It was great even I did that seamwalk to double defence. *Waiting for next puzzle goal*
It seems my puzzles always cause a bit of controversy. In the future, such puzzle races will probably just not be recorded in the first place so people can enjoy the various parts of the puzzle a bit more.
Anyway, the approximate results are:
For non-seamwalkers:
1. cfox77 - 5:30 ?
2. cafde - 5:58:55
3. Cosmo - 6:10:44
4. Christianf23 - 11:00:12
5. Jarvitz - 12:08:30*
* completed over multiple days
Of course, seamwalking skipped the whole puzzle so it was alot faster for those who used it:
1. ZFG (1:23:26)
2. Runnerguy2489 (2:12:23)
I divided the puzzle sorta into 3 parts: The Trial of Courage, the Trial of Wisdom, and the Trial of Power.
The Trial of Courage involved getting the gold skulltula in shadow temple. The standard solution was to do the temple backwards as adult to unlock a door behind a bombable wall for young Link. This required long shot to reach an unused hookshot target in the large room. Samura1man managed to pull off a crazy boomerang throw to get the gs in the boat room, which allows skipping water temple in this puzzle.
The Trial of Wisdom involved getting the gold skulltula in water temple. Most people went for the execution based gs, a very precise rang throw in the moving platform room before the longshot. However, the other solution involved a very cool trick in my opinion. You set fw inside the central room, raise the water to the top, then warp to the fw point. This lets you get into the central column with the water raised and you can reach the gs there.
The Trial of Power is getting the gs in fire and forest temple. This was the most technical part of the puzzle, which unfortunately turned alot of people off =(. You had to megaflip from the top of dmc and reach the large boulder/mountain. From there, you can megaflip over the boulders to reach fire temple. Then you use the death wrong warp to get to forest temple as child without isg.
Some other interesting facts: It was possible to avoid rba (except for the trivial rba to ba the hammer), and Christianf23 actually did it. It required getting Nocturne legit. Everyone got the goron bracelet (which is faster and easier), but it was possible to get silver gauntlets. There were alot of methods used for chus. You could: Use ZL in BotW and get them there; Get bombs first; Get wallet and buy them in the desert; Get 2 keys in gtg and get them there.
I hope people enjoyed the puzzle despite the controversy.

Thats completely not how though it wad meant to be done. How do you death warp into Forest Temple by the way? I know how to get into the other dungeons as Child, but the only I can think of to get into FT is though hovering (Which btw, is REALLY hard for me to do as a child).
What the hell??? Doesnt this classify as a FWWW trick? but without the FW? O.o
nope just a wrong warp
I realize this post is old, but I have a question about the puzzle. Why exactly couldn't you just RBA the nocturne, get the hover boots, get the gold skulltula in the boat room, and then crouch stab recoil to double defense? Why do you need to go to the forest, fire, and water temples anyways? And sorry for bumping this old thread.

You have to go back in time, meaning you have to beat forest temple, meaning you then have to go to forest temple as child link. Without isg you then need to wrong warp to forest as child from fire. Water temple was for going through shadow in reverse with longshot, but the boat skulltula was not thought to be possible with those restrictions (but iirc someone did get it?).
Oh yeah...This is why I don't do puzzles or bingos. There's so much going on, I always forget key rules or something important so I can pass. Thanks for clearing that up for me.
